We present elsewhere the names OF
the candidates nominated for the va
rious city offices. Both tickets are
made up Of representative citizens
who are known to every voter; and
individual mention Is quite unnecessa-

on an hands to be a strong ticket, as
the candidates are popular and known
to be well qualified to discharge the
duties OF the Offices for which they are
nominated.

THE FINANCIAL ISSUE.

The Iron Age, Il great trade journal,
regards the fixing Of stable unit of
values M the one thing necessary to
restore business prosperity to the
country. 1t holds with The Democrat
and the thousands of other single
standard newspapers, that vicious f.
nancial legislation has done more than
all else to upset business and destroy
confidence. 1t well and truly says:
Compromising on the coinage
question has been going on for many
years; II has brought disaster on the
country, and the probability Of IN.
other compromise would bring anot, r
misfortune upon all. 1t is Imperative
that every business man and every
commercial body should do Ill that
compromise has passed. There must
now be plain uncquIvocal declarations
for or against free coinage. 1t il the
business men whose approval IS eager

will they can force frank statements

"Tho one thing that tho business

values. 1t does not dispose of this to
say there Is no such thing. If there
be no unit that luVer varies there is at

of the use of money is in paying time

NORTON FOR BRYAN.
The "Middle-Of-the-Road" POpulists for
the Democratic Leader.

Mr. S. F. Norton, OF Illinois, the ia
VOrite candidate of the "middle-of- the
road" p0pulists for the presidential
nomination at the st. Louis convention,
has written a letter to Senator Butler,
of North Carolina, chairman Of the
pOpulist national committee, annOunc-
ing his support of Mr.. Bryan and adj
vising populists everywhere to assist
in Mr.. Bryan's election. Mr. Norton
advises populists to forgive for the
time any unjust treatment from the
democrats and postpone the settlement
of minor difficulties until after the
election. He says:
eli success is assured the populist
party cannot be denied the glory of
the victory. Whether Mr.. Bryan is a
populist or not, one thing absolutely
certain is that every enemy reformerS
have encountered during the last TWEEN
ty years we find to-day among Mr..
Bryan's bitterest and most relentless
opponents If they are his enemies he
must be our friend. His success is
their defeat, their defeat is our vic
tory.
However much the populists may
have suffered at ST. Louis as to the cor
rect policy to adopt; however much
some of us may still believe that mis-
takes were made under existing cir
cumstances, there is only one course
to pursue, and that is to loyalty and
earnestly support Mr.. Bryan-not SO
much for the sake Of elevating him to
the presidency as for the purpose OF
defeating what may be appropriately
and most expressively termed Mark
Hanna republicanism. Although some
of us may regret certain fusion ar
rangements which have been made,
it is noticeable ct that no other
man in the Uni ed States is so much
troubled about them as the manager
of the republican campaign"

Mr.. Carnegie could not wait until
after the election. Read this telegram:
'Pittsburg. Oct 1-SUeoial &c the
Chicago Record -Notices have been
posted at the Homestead mill of the
Carnegie comrany of readiustmen-
of wages to take effect Jan. 1, 1897
Under the agreement with the work
men each side is required to give nine
ty days notice of any change desired
in the wages paid. 1t is not known
how many departments will be affected
by the proposed change. or whether
the day men or only the tonnage men
will be subject to reduction in pay.
"The men say readjustment always
means a reduction, and that it was
reimbursement that caused the big strike
of 1892"
That ninety-day notice clause was an
unfortunate thing for Mark Hanna's
plans. In the Carnegie mills all new
scales go into effect the first of the
year. In the improbable event of Mr.
McKinley's election, Mr.. Carnegie will
reduce the wages of his 10000 en-
ployes not less than $750,000 for the
coming year and that is larger CON
trihution than he cares to make to the
campaign fund, in view of the fact that
by no human possibility can new tar
iff bill be passed in the next four years
The American workman who votes
for William Mckinley votes for a per-
manent reduction in wages.

What Governor Aitgeld Says.

In a recent interview concerning the
campaign in Illinois Governor Altgeld
said:
eve had this state won a month ago.
I understand now that our republican
friends concede my election as gov
ernor; and if they do that it can but
mean that Mr. Bryan will also carry
the state
The governor also thinks that both
ne and Mr. Bryan will carry Cook
county And in this connection he
gives full credit to the splendid work
which is being done by the silver re-
publicans who have organized over 40
Bryan and Altgeld clubs in that city

Dugald Crawford, proprietor of a big
st. Louis department store, is being
prosecuted for dismissing twelve of his
employees who had the temerity to con-
TESS. when he asked them the direct
question. that they were in favor Of
free silver, and intended TO vote for
Bryan. The Chicago Evening Post, the
organ of the goldbug aristocracy OF
that city. editorially suggests the fol-
lowing escape for Craw lord from his
dilemma:
MI. Crawford can beat the charge
if he will go into court and claim that
he discharged his employees because
their announcement of an intention to
vote for Bryan proved them unfit to
discharge Their duties inIelligently.'
This is a gross insult to every man
who favors Bryan and free silver, and

were cut off tho desired longth and about

of the lawn cut on tho length was firmly
basted. Then on the side designed for tho

and scalops was drawn with n pencil and

also cut in an artistic pattern, the edge
turned in neatly and stitched on the ma

A Woman's Pose.

1t Is n lamcntablo fact that very few Of
our American women pose themselves
either gracefully or elegantly. In walking
or standing one should always remember
to use tho ball of the foot instead Of let
ting the weight fall more upon the heels.
In tho latter position the stomach is thrown
forward in advance of the chest, and an
unsightly result produced. When ono is
walking, one should also attempt to keep
the shoulders AS level and as immovablo
as possible, letting tho motion all come
from the hips downward. 1t is q not in
frequent spectacle that of woman-this
fault is much commoner in the feminine
world-walking with her shoulders and
arms-that Is, with these members in con-
slant movement. Another important item,
that has to do with attitudinizing, is that
of tho position of the body when seated
In the first place, short person must
avoid n high chair. Then, in taking the
one she has selected, she should before

anatomy, a thing always to be avoided
