The World Herald says of Mansfield.
Mr.. Booth once said that if an ac-

in the present week Mr.. Mansfield has
played and played remarkably well,
three decidedly different parts
Mr.. Mansfield appears as Baron Chew

Bee as Unpleasant But most of the
work in the piece is praised highly.
Mr. Mansfield leaves Immediately

Will GET EVERY DISTRICT
Georgia Democrats Are Sure of Every
Congressional District

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. 10-In a few sec
lions of the state the Populist vote was
increased. In nearly every case it was
due to the personal popularity Of some
Populist nominee. In Florida, Wright's
home county, the Populist candidate
for governor received a majority of 268
votes But this was not, in party
sense, a majority for Populism, since
Chandler (Dem.) for secretary of state,
defeated Parsons, the Populist nominee,
by over 500 votes.
one of the features of the election is
that every congressional district in
Georgia is Democratic and will send
Democratic representatives to the next
congress. The only district held in
doubt was the Tenth. Two years age
in the state election this district gave
small Populist majority. Wednesday.
Richmond, Hancock and Washington
gave Democratic majOrities sufficient
to offset the PopuIst majorities in the
eight other counties, and show besides
a clean Demo cratfc majority of 2l25.
The Journals estimate Of the vote
by counties. corrected up to date, places
Atkinson's majority at 80, 405.

Free Trip to Canton Not Likely

Miscellaneous.

1t is more than probable that there
VIII not be an excursion run from To-
peka to Canton, o., for the accOmmoda-
ton OF the Railway Employees Mck1n-
ley club and others who wish to visit
Major Mckinley. The excursion was
talked of some time ago and the matter
left in the hands Of the state central
committee So far nothing has been
done towards getting the excursion up,
ano It IS now deemed too late to COM
mence.
But the fact that it is now but short
time until election is not the only rea-
son why the excursion has been aban-
dOned- The chief reason is that the
state central committee believes that
there is nothing to be gained by run
ming an excursion to Canton 1t is the
opinion of the chief members of the
committee that Major McKinley's per
sonal appearance and home speeches do
not affect voters in one way or another
and that the efforts necessary i'm ar
ranging an excursion can be used to
the much better advantage of the gold
cause in some other direction.
The excursion was first asked for by
the Railway Employees Mckinley club
OF this city, and if run would consist
almost entirely of Santa Fe shop men,
The club claims a membership of over
400 out of the 300 men employed at the
shops, and it is believed that almost
every member would go to Canton if
given a chance. If free transportation
We're furnished by the Santa Fe COM
pany, and the men taken care of in
other ways by the Republican commit
tees it Is probable that all the shop
men who could secure leave of absence
would take part in the excursion 1t is
reasonable to suppose that any man
would make the trip TO Canton and re-
turn il he could do SO without expense
to himself.
The matter Of running the excursion
was turned over to Frank Brown, of
the state central committee. but Mr..
Brown is one who believes the eNcur-

MY Dear Sir. I am SO much interest

league has undertaken that I would be
glad to do anything that could to

cline your invitation to address the
league on some date previous to the ap-
preaching election Even if the pres

should hardly deem it consistent with
strict pr0priety to mingle actively in
the campaign. While it is impossible
have the least doubt as to my senti-
ments on the vital question which at
this time absCrbs so largely the atten-
ton of our people, the work of ad-
Vancing sound financial IDEAS and the
