THERE will not be, says the Harris
burg Patriot, many votes for Mckinley
whether gold ticket be nominated by
the Democrats or not. As a matter OF
course there are some who will vote for
the Ohio mau if gold ticket be not
placed in the field, but these are Demo
Gratis who are not averse to a high tariff,
men who believe in protection. Upon
an issue involving the tariff 1t Is not
unlikely that these Democrats, or at
least some of them would vote for Me
Kinley as a representative OF their idea
There are few Democratic business
men who would vote for Mckinley under
any circumstances. They are opposed
TO his tariff ideas, are suspicious of ms
coinage views and dislike him personal
ly. member of prominent firm IN
this section speaking to a Patriot repre-
sentative says he has had to pay So "a
Il keg of wire nails which the ma
combine sells abroad for 81 20 a keg
giving this AS sample OF Mckinney tax
alton. This gentleman says that while
he does not now know how he will vote
he cannot and will not vote for Mckln-
ley under any circumstances, rightly
attributing to him the excessive taxa
ton of imports which has resulted in In
creased cost to the American consumer
| and decreased cost to the foreign pur-
| chaser. There are thousands of Other
! Democrats with the same opinion.
These Democrats insist that vote is &
registration of the voters opinion anC
for this reason they favor Democratic
| gold ticket. They know the ticket vii
will not be elected, but they are opposed
| to free coinage and to Mckinley. Tney
cannot vote for either and being life
| long Democrats do not want to lose theil
votes, as they consider it duty of the
| conscientious voter to cast his ballot OF
election day. What, then, they say
should prevent them voting for gOlC
Democrats for president and vice presi
dent? They do not consider this bol
but legitimate expression of opinion
properly made and delivered, by patriot
| ic American citizens.

The list of boiling Democratic papers
printed by the Republican organs already
needs revision, as some of them have
commenced TO see that McKinleyism il
a rough road for Democratic paper t.
travel The list includes certain papers
in large cities directly under the infiu
ence of local gold sentiment. The coun-
try papers, numbered by the thousands
are all right, and they are the backbone
of the Democratic organization. There is
no boiling there. The influence of po-
litical paper on voters of its own party
generally falls to zero when it advises
them to desert to the enemy. If there
is anything demonstrated in American
politics, it is this simple fact.

A Cold BlOOded Murder.

Findlay, o., August 3 3-George Miles,
aged Is, was shot and killed by Amos
Decker, aged is, in this city this even
ing, and as result large possee of Off
GERS and excited citizens are pursuing
the murderer, who escaped to the coun-
try on a horse. The crime was SO de-
liberate that Decker will hardly escape
the fullest penalty if captured by the
pursuing officers. He stands no chance
of getting away, though he may elude
the officers for some time.
Decker and Miles quarrelled over a
calf and as they were rivals for the hand
of young lady, the feeling between
them was very bitter. They finally
came to blows, and Decker after going
home and securing a revolver, returned
and shot Miles in the side, iuflicting a
wound from which he died in few

Suspected the wife.

La Plata, Md, August 3.-Late Sun
day James ] Irwin, farmer, was found
murdered at his home at Aliens Fresh,
a little hamlet II miles from this place.
Two bullets had been fired at him while
he wae asleep, both of which entered
his brain. George Matthews. an oyster
man, who lives at Rock Point, 10 miles
from the scene of the tragedy, has been
arrested, charged with the crime, and
irwin s wife is under police surveillance.
1t is said that Matthews has been paying
attention to Mrs Irwin, and the authori-
ties have letters. containing endearing
terms which Matthews wrote to the wO-
man. Mrs. Irwin said she discovered
that her husband was dead at IL O'Clock
Sunday night. She ran to the house of
her father-in-law, 100 yards distant, and
gave the alarm. She asserts that she
was in bed beside her husband, but evi
dence at the coroner's inquest conflicts
with her statements.
If positive guilt could be fastened on
Matthews he would undoubtedly be
lynched.

GREAT praise, says the Bellefonie
Waterman, is being bestowed on the
banks that control the money market,
for the patriotism they displayed by
their recent action in advancing $40,
600, 900 in gold to maintain the reserve
and protect the credit of the government
They are regarded as particularly patri-
otic in not asking interest on this ad-
vance, but contenting themselves with
taking greenbacks in exchange, without
profit.
But what sort of patriotism did those
bankers display when the government
WAS driven by its necessity to apply for
loans, of which it was compelled to make
three or four for the maintenance of the
gold reserve? They took advantage of
the governments necessity like set of
sharks and drove the hardest bargain
with it that they could possibly make
Their recent display of liberality and
so-called patriotisnl came entirely from
selfish motive. They knew that if the
government were compelled to make a
loan of gold in the midst of its presiden-
tial campaign it would have such an un-
favorable effect upon public sentiment
as would be extremely damaging to the
gold bug interest at the polls.
1t was rather to save themselves than
to save the public credit that they pa
triotica!ly" rushed to the relief of the
government with their gold. If presi-
Dental election hadn't been pending
they would have driven a Shylock bar
gain with Uncle Sam.

The New York Dispatch, Republican,
thinks Mckinley is in great danger OF
defeat. 1t says: The free silver craze
is rooted in every nook and corner OF
the country. 1t is stronger in New
York city than any place in the Union
1t is strong in the New England states
supposed to be solidly for gold. The
gold plank to the laboring people is tint
plank of the classes. The Republican
party, never in its history, had harder
struggle before it than 1t has to-day tt
elect Mckinley on gold plank.

He Got Married Anyhow.

New York, August 3-Despite the
determined opposition of his family, and
in defiance of the threat of disinherit-
ance, MIR. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., was
married to Miss Grace Wilson. Mr..
Vanderbilt, Sr.. warned the young man
that if he contracted the marriage he
would have to depend upon his own re-
sources for livelihood and he need ex-
pect no share in the Vanderbilt fortune.
Thus the son, by disobeying the fathers
wishes, threw away his prospects of in
heriting large lump of the hundred
million dollars, which Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Sr., is estimated to be worth. Not q
member of the Vanderbilt family was
even invited to the wedding, which was
notable for its simplicity.

One man was fatally and two Others

car of molten metal yesterday at the Ed

The three men were working in the
yards underneath the elevated track ov-
er which molten metal is conveyed from
one department of the mill to another.
A train passing over the track was sud
denly brought to a stop, and the Jolt
caused the metal to overflow and fall
upon the men below. Patrick Conley

about the back and abdomen. Robert
Frazier was not SO seriously burned.

Much ado is being made over the
Democratic platform because the Re-
publicans see in Itan effort to smirch
the supreme court. 1t is not the plat
form that smirches the court, it is the
court that smirches itself. When a
court announces one decision and then
fiops to another the people naturally
conclude that such shifty tribunal is
not infallible.

Not One of the Workmen Weakens-
Cars Kept Running.

Milwaukee, may .. - The Federated
Trades Council has not, as reported, or
dered a sympathetic strike. Resolutions
promising moral and financial support
were adopted. A committee was appoint
81 to protest to the council against the
off1ciousness of the police In helping to
lun ears and collecting fares. This morn
ing the street car lines were tied much
more closely than at the same hour yes
terday. The electrical workers in the en-
ploy of the company struck this morning.
The company officials managed to keep the
plant in operation.
Not a man returned to work at noon,
the hour fixed by the street car company
when all employees were to report for duty
or be discharged. Women were present
at headquarters with children In their
arms. and jeered the men running the
cars. A car was stoned by strikers on
Reed street this afternoon, passenger
and policeman receiving injuries. Stones
and other distractions are being placed
on the tracks in the suburbs.
