Springfield, ILL.,, Sept Especial
to the New York JournaD-A ransack
of Illinois politically brings cheer to
the free silver Democracy. Both sides
have of late laid violent claim to Hi
nois. Hanna and his coterie said it was
to be for Mckinley; Jones, Altgeld
and the Democratic leaders at Spring
field and Chicago were equally vehe-
ment in giving the State to Bryan and
free silver. They declared the battle
won for Bryan. 1t was all over but
the yelling.
With politics, both State and Nation
al, running on such new lines; with
such as the Whitneys and the Cock
rams for the Republicans; with Teller
and Butler for the Democracy, and
with men heretofore of turgid and
direct partisanship, such as Hill, on
the unquit fence, it is no wonder there
should arise a Earring clash of claims.
1t was worth while looking into the
sitduation on ones own account, re-
ceiying nobody's claim as good with
out proof.
The Hannacrats, in an ecstacy of
eager voracity announced--and do still
that Mckinley would carry Illinois by
100000 majority. The wish was father
to this bluff, for such it was. A bit of
research disclosed this claim of 100,-
900 for Mckinley to be feather-headed
nonsense.

REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED.


Nor had the Hannacrats even slight
basis for the assertion. They have
taken no poll, made no roundup. As
nearly as inquiry on my part is an
swered, it would look as though the
Republicans had been scared stiff,
as Hanna phrases it, by the words
brought in by their own agents, and
made the blunt, lunatic claim of a
coming 100000 majority for McKin-
ley for the same reason that boys whis-
tie when passing some midnight grave
yard and to keep up the spirits of their
following. The least of polzing about
with questions showed this.
Brought to particulars, for instance,
the Hannaerats declared that Union
county would go McKinleyward by
1000 majority. A house to house poll,
as well as the history of decade of
voting, proves that Union county will
go at least 500 Democratic.
In Marion county, where the Re-
publicans solemnly assert a Mckinley
certainty of 100 majority. a house to
house poll, made with hair-line pa
thence, gives ii to Bryan by over 500.
The same might be said of all the
country counties. The Republicans lay
hands on them, but don't dare make
practical investigation, for fear the
discoveries might blast and wither
them.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-09-23

Chicago, in the railroad shops, manu-
factories, packing houses, and every
where men in bodies labor for day
wages, that a vote for Bryan means the
loss of situation.
DICTATTON TO EMPLOYEES.
There are but few employers too good
to make this threat; they have estab-
lished the padrone system; they strive
to reduce the men to the state of Next
can poems. Tt is white slavery these
employers have declared for. They run
money schools at noon, and herd in
their men. All this is resented, and the
men are mad They will vote for silver
if they dare. But there's the rub
again. Their forces are sown with
spies. These report any detection from
McKinleyism on the part of the men.
1t is worse than Venice and the secret
Council of Ten. 1t is the vilest of tyran-
ny. The men know lit, feel it, rage and
rise against it, but just the same they
tremble before it, and fear it.
There is a general belief among
workmen that their employers are able
to discover the character of their bal
lots. notwithstanding the Australian
system, and that they viii be known
and punished, should they vote for Bry-
an. The Democratic leaders are becom-
ing aroused to this, and may move to
indict several plutocrats with well adj
yertised, if not widely honored, names
for "intimidating voters
DEMOCRATIC BY 10000,
But taking the best and most con.
sentative testimony of both sides, Bry-
an to-day stands a splendid chance
to carry the State by 10000. 1t
remains to be seen whether
the McKinleyites can bride or brow
beat this down All honest future
changes of political faith in the State
will be from gold to free silver. One
hears of new converts to free silver
daily. This is particularly true of the
Southern half of the State, where
Bryan met such enthusiastic thou
sands as he crossed it Monday
In Chicago Bryan is the open and
admitted candidate of all of the trades
unions His peech Labor Day made a
profound impression. BY the way, the
labor men say that the attendance
at the park where Bryan spoke that
day was over 100000.
The labor unions make no doubt of
Bryan's success in Illinois. To aid him
they are now preparing a trap for Me-
Kinley into which one way or the other
he is bound to fall. They are circulat-
ing a formal and authorized petition
among the various orders for sigma
lures and asking them--it is addressed
to Bryan and McKinley-to meet each
other in debate on the issues. and es-
pecially on the. subject of labor con-
ditions.

EXPECT TO HELP BRYAN.

EXPECT TO HELP BRYAN.
They believe Mckinley will decline,
while they know Bryan will accept.
This they argue will do Bryan good to
the tune of 10000 extra votes.
Should Mckinley be guilty Of the un-
expected and accept, they count sure
" on Bryan's triumph over him. and
this would do the free silver man more
good than the first happening men
toned Hence this petition goes
blithely around and will be ready to
spring on Mckinley in few days 1t
already has $4,000 signatures
/ could find no respectable strength
for the deeoy ticket of Palmer and
Buckner.S Sage men on all sides quietly
assured me that it would not poll more
than 5000 votes in the whole State.
The highest estimate it got was 10000
votes. 1t is believed that two-thirds of
those who vote for Palmer would have
stayed at home otherwise and that
one-third would have voted for McKin-
ley. 1T is thought on all sides, though
not admitted for print, that the decoy
ticket will hurt Mckinley and go by
Bryan as harmless as the wind
mo man who would otherwise have
voted the free silver ticket will take
up Palmer, Buckner and gold" said
one, and he was right. Others laugh
ed at it. THE aggregate age of the
ticket" said a scoffer, lis 100 years,
rather too senile."
Among the farmers I found the free
silver question the dominant one. The
income tax was also much and favor
ably on their tongues end. But in
Chicago and in railway towns the men
are not worrying so much about fin
ance and talk less of free silver than
of that platform plank which grinds
Government by injunction beneath the
party heel. That's what the railroad
element is after, and other trades I'M
ions follow suit.
ALTGELD MAKING A GOOD RACE.
Altgeld is running well, and this re-
minded me Of what a Republican Con-
gresham from Illinois said to me last
spring: 'No matter what they say
of Altgeld," said this statesman, 'the
fact remains that he's the best Gov
ernor we have ever had and the peo-
pie know it," He'll beat Tanner The
Republican candidates campaign
limps; defeat waits for him at the end
OF the trail.
To sum up, from all could see and
learn, Bryan and free silver will carry
Illinois, do it handsomely. The Popu-
lists win do their part, and the free
silver Republicans would seem to out
number the gold Democrats about 10
to /. Bryan should win by a good ma
jority. All he has to fear, for it is the
only loophole of Republican escape,
is the Mckinley syndicate's money in
Chicago. IL they can buy or bride
victory they will do so.
All Of the Chicago papers are for Nc
Kinley and violently against Bryan.
This need breed no alarm. They were
as violently against Cleveland in 1892,
when he carried Cook county by fully
10000 majority, and took the State out
of the Republican list for the first
time since the days of Douglas. They
were as violently against Carter Harri-
son when he was made Mayor by a
large majority. Bryan need have no
fears of the Chicago press if the past
is any guide. As the day stands, put
Illinois in the Bryan column. Let it
stay till further orders.

CANVASS OF DEMOCRATS.


A1tgeld, on his part, working with
his lieutenants, Buck Hinrichsen and
Fithian, has made, one following the
other, two thorough canyasses, school
district by school district, Of every
foot of Illinois ground lying between
Cairo and the Cook county line. They
made two because the first cast such
an unlocked for glow on their pros
poets that they couldn't believe it true.
So they made the second. They de-
clare-Altgeld and aides-that their
search was SO thorough that not even
pin-point of political chance escaped
them. They slammed every front gate,
pulled every door bell, save in Chicago
and its county. As result they assert
that both Altge1d and Bryan viii come
to the Cook county line with a clean
majority Of 10000.
They tell, too, that a poll has been
made of Chicago and Cook county, and
that the free silver Bryan-Altgeld
forces will win there by $4,000. They
claim the State without tremor or
blush by $4,000 for Altgeld and Bryan.
While these gentry of free silver 16
to / can show much more of reason for
the hope within them than the Han
nacrats, and while it is clear they are
not engaged in the pastime known in
some circles as talking through their
hats" yet what they say must be taxi
en- with allowance for leakage and
shrinkage.
Conservative ones with whom ! con-
versed cut the rural majority which
they claimed down to 10000, That
figure, it would seem, every body agrees
AItgeld and Bryan will have. But as
to Cook county no regular or thorough
poll has yet been made. What Altgeld
and the others rely on is two-thirds
surmise and guess, rather than the
fruits of search.
STRONG TICKET IN CHICAGO.
No Democratic campaign in Chicago
had been squaTely set afoot until yes
terday. They got their county ticket
Saturday-got it tremendously. Tt is
a good ticket, and they will now get
down to detail as well as general cam
paign work. just now it is the best
view that Cook county will be in the
neighborhood of tie between McKin-
lev and Bryan. But the silver folk ex-
pect to add to their strength, and they
will.
f0unu JIdU III Inlcdgo kCooh COuh-
ty) THE Republicans relied mostly on
money, and 10y the same token the
Democrats on their part feared the
Hanna purse.
"But under the Australian law you
can't successfully buy votes, as the bal
loting is secret, but you can buy cleo
ton Judges" said a battle-scarred Dem
ocraf "and that's exactly where we
fear Hanna in Chicago"
Tt would be doing too much PORTE
Justice to believe for a moment that
the Republicans would not buy an cleo
ton Judge If they saw the need and
found the judge. So this chance Us out
against Bryan
/ found that the Republicans are IN
desperate mood. They try the cats
and coercion. 1t is understood all over

Coughs and lung troubles lead to

OF all tho disease which afllict the

fned to the lungs alone.

TO check its ravages science for

Is it possible even to-day to cure
every case of consumption?
Let US look the melancholy truth
straight in tho face.
1t Is not possible.
But, out of the 700 lives sacrificed
every day, 500 may be saved, and I.
A. Slocum, the distinguished manu-
featuring chemist, has discovered a
way to do it.
nit is with solemn sense Of response
bility for his words that the great
chemist announces through the medium
of the public press that he has found
Nn absolute cure for consumption in
any case where the patient is not act
ually dying
Thousands Of witnesses could be
brought forward whose testimony is
tucontrovertible prove not only that
the newly discovered Slocum System Of
Scientific Treatment is wonderfully
efticacious in the cure Of chest and
dung affections, all pulmonary disor-
aers-and conditions of wasting-but
that it docs cure in cases of well-dcfnod
and unmistakable consumption.
Now, in order to show his deep root
ed belief in the browning wOrlA of his
life. he offers to send free two bottles
of his newly discovered remedy to any
Body suffering from coughs, lung
troubles, consumption. loss Of flesh,
and all conditions OF wasting.
Nothing could DO fairer or more
philanthropic.
The renowned chemist recognizes it
as moral duty to spread far and wide
the knowledge Of his cure for consump-
tion.
This generous proposition speaks elo-
qucntly indeed of the good faith OF
the great chemist.
He wants to send tho sunshine and
hope and gladness into families.
Beside victims OF consumption, this
offer interests all who work in bad air,
all who are exposed to cold and damp
ness, all who feel the irritation in the
shroat, sore lungs or soreness under
che breast bone, and the steady loss OF
strength and flesh that are the first
signs of serious lung affection.
Slocum's system is the only one
