Changes in Political Sentiment That In

Part of the Doubtful States Lean Toward
FIR. q silver.
1t has been said that the political
feurers may as we'll give up their cal
culations this year, ss the election Is
one in which the issues are novel,
party lines broken and new deals
made in the game of politics.
While this is in measure true the
conclusion reached is incorrect. Except
in few states the Democracy is as
powerful as ever, and iu some parts OF
the country, where it has formerly for
years had barely standing, its
strength has greatly increased. The
marked enthusiasm Of the large
majority Of the Demo cratic national
convention means something. 1t in,
dicates Democratic revival in the
west anu south. The Populist pow:
er is shown by the elections o.
1892 aud 1894. Its union on the
Democratic candidate is just so much
solid gain. If the boiling Dem
ocrats should put third candidate
into the field, its only effect would be
to draw to the ballot box the few De-
mocrats who, dissatisfied with the ac'
tion at Chicago, but not prepared to
swallow protection. pluto cracy and
paternslism in Mckinley, might otb-
erwise remaiu awav from the polls.
Ii no third candidate should be in
the field, some disatfected Democrats
might vote for Mckinley, but quite
as many would vote with their party
rather than lose their votes. Hence
there is good ground now for an intel
ligent judgment on the outlook, based
on former votes and the ascertained
strength of parties.
The questions that present them
selves in considering the chances OF
succe-S are:
l. Have the Populists lost or gained
STRENGTH since the election of 1892.
9. Will the Populist support of the
Democratic candidate for president,
William j. Bryan, be general2
3. Will the detection from the De.
mocratic party, caused by the action
OF The Chicago convention, be great
enough to offset tine increase of
strength gained from the Popullst
vote!
l. Are the Populists growing?
The total popular vote in 1872 was
as follows:
Democratic .................,.... ), 556, ,9lS
Republican ..........................." o,iio,ioo
Populst. l,ofi i,oZo
The Democratic and Populist vote
combined was 6.597, GAG, or ] ,42l 1888
in excess of the Republican vote
The total Popullst vote in 1894 was
1858, 452, or 322,42i larger than in
1892.
In view OF the large Populist vote,
it is significant that the Democratic
vote in 1892 showed an increase of
IS, ,6S5 over the vote OF 1888 while the
Republican vote decreased 2G4, 1OS
from the vote al the election of four
years previous.
In the states which will be the bat

or decrease of the Populist vote 10
1894, as compared with 1892, is as fol,

E. E. HILL REMAINS SILENT.
Refuses to Sny Anything Further
About His Wife's Suicide.

Edgar E. Hill, or "Senor Zerega," as he
is known in London, the husband of Mrs
Mary d. Hill, who committed suicide in the
Colonna6e Hotel, New York. May 8. and
who has been identified as the daughter-in-
law Of ex-Judge Ralph Hill. of this city,
refuses to say anything in addition to the
statement made by him to the Associated
servant refused to admit a press represent
alive. The servant explained that she had
orders not to speak on the subject In
London last Monday Hill left an advertise
ment at a musical agency showing a group
of four women and four men. One of the
former Is believed to be a portrait of Mrs.
Hill, and resembles in some degree the cuts

exhibited by Hill was for the coming
amusement season.. 1t also contains ex-
tracts from the court circular of Aug. u
and %, the dates when the Spanish Trou-
badours appeared before the Queen at Os-
borne, Isle of Wight
NeighbOrs in London add that, so far as
they know the relations between Zerega
and his wife were pleasant. They did not
know. however, that she was absent from
London. Further inquiries by the Associa-
ted Press show that a short time ago a
case containing musical instruments was
received at Zerega's house from New York.
and the officials of the United States en-
bassy In London have not heard anything
officially about the strange case of Mrs.
Everett, of Boston," Zerega positively de-
clines TO throw any light upon the matter.
and The dispatches from London say he is
suddenly lost his wife in a most tragic
manner.
