The announcement of the death of
ex-senator Thomas White Ferry, of
Michigan. will be a painful surprise to
his many friends in Utah. He was a
brother of Colonel ". NJ. Ferry Of
Park City, and with him was interested
in various ventures in Utah.
Senator Ferry's parents were from
Massachusetts. though he was born at
AIackinaw, the date of his birth being
June l, 1921 He was always active in
politics. When but twenty-three years
old he was sent to the lower house of
the Michigan legislature, and to the
state senate when twenty-nine years of
age. He was { vice-president of the
Chicago convention of 1860, which
nominated Lincoln. In 1864 he became
a member of congress, serving in the

IN ILLINOIS.

The staff correspondent of the St.

Decatur 1t gives a mass of informa-
ton CLEANED from many sources, all
indicating that the Republicans have
lost heavily in that section.
L. Decatur, as elsewhere. the rule is
for men TO cloak their sentiments as
their positions are often dependent
upon their discretion. The Wabash
railroad employees are nearly all for
Bryan, but many who viii vote the

Kinisy buttons. The correspondent
gained the confidence of some of these
and found the Bryan sentiment was
very strong.
Nor is it altogether agreeable for
those Bryan Republicans who are in
dependent of the corporations to ex-
press their views. The representative

had y list of 321 Republicans who will
vote fer Bryan. This list, however,
could rot be examined. Some time be-
fore the person in whose possession it
is had incautiously made public the
fact that a certain man was for Bryan.

that he turned out and marched in a

says. win go for Bryan, probably by

IN 1899 it gave Harrison $50 and in 1894
the Republicans carried it by 1,2OO.
This information bears out the
claims of the Democratic national COM

based upon polls. When these are
taken the men who feel that they
are obliged to appear to be for Nc

That there may be an excuse for

Some one long ago said that political
platforms were to get in ON, not to
stand upon. Mr.. Bryan is one of those
who do not regard them in any such
light. He has made it plain that, if
elected, he will stand upon his plat
forIn-and this is what causes the
panic among the trust monopolists. The
Republicans have been declaimlng
against trusts in their platforms and
carefully protecting them when placed
in power. Some others have not been
guiltless in this respect; but everybody
understands that Bryan, as president,
will be just as much against these I'M
natural, destructive combinations, as
he is as a candidate. The trusts know
it and proclaim him an anarchist; the
people know it and hail him as a
savior.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles
S. Fairchild, chairman of the committee
on sound currency of the New York
Reform club, is sending out a circu-
lar stating that the committee is in
most urgent need of funds ito carry
on the work in promoting the cause
OF sound finance in this country" The
appeal winds up in this manner: I'm
less those who are interested in this
work come promptly to the aid of the
committee by subscribing to its funds,
the work must be greatly crrtailed and
possibly almost suspended at this. the
most critical period of the campaign.
If you have already subscribed, can
you not, under the circumstances, add
to your former subscription? If you
have not yet subscribed, will you not
do SO promptly? All checks should be
made payable to the order of Charles
S. Fairchild, chairman" We fancy
there will not be many checks sent
from Utah.

The fact of there being a field for
