The Mining state Revolt May BE tn
Means of Defeating Mckinley.

The Mining state Revolt May Be the
Means of Defeating Mckinley.
It would be a singular, and yet in
some sense, a retributiye outcome of the
present contest should the revolt of the
western mining states from the stand
ard of AIcKinleyism decide the election
TO Mr.. Mckinley. Considera-
tons of republican party expediercy,
for the most part having to do with
the maintenance of the system OF high
protectionism, has more weight than
any consideration of fitness for state
hood IN the admission to the union of
Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Utah, Washington and the
two Dakotas. Some of them have
since grown to proportions such as to
make them credible 1ccessions to the
roll of states; some are growing, and
will in time deserve statehood on their
actual merits; one, Nevada, is decreas-
ing in population, and is less entitled
10 statehood to-day than ever; but not
one of the lot was admitted originally
without a cold calculation of the votes
i. would contribute to the republicans
in the electoral college and in the
senate.
Of these nine states admitted to boil
ster the waning popular strength of
rhe republicans, through the opera
lions OF the electoral college and the
constitutional system of representation
obtaining in the United States senate,
Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Utah and North Dakota
r,oy as well be conceded to Mr.. Bryan
tc start with. In the other two. Wash
ington and South Dakota, the contest
is more doubtful. but with the chances
FAR better of his carrying all the nine
states than of McKinley's carrying a
third of them.
In the aggregate these nine states
control % electoral votes, a number
sufficient, if unitedly transferred to
she defeated candidate, to have changed
the result of any recent presidential
contest except that of 1s92.-Albany Ar

There is hardly a person in Galena
but what knows "Old Sam" large
gray horse belonging to j. w. Watkins.
One Saturday recently Old Sam visited
the blacksmith shop so often that he
was led out two or three times during
the day. Sunday morning early he took
his stand in front of the shop, and there
he remained all day in the hot sun,
never leaving except when led away by
his owner. Monday evening, as soon
as unhitched, he left his feed, which
had been placed in the wagon-ked, and
again took up his stand in front Of the
blacksmith shop. By this time a con-
siderable crowd had gathered at Web
bcr's store, and It was suggested that
"Od Sam" wanted shoeing. The black.
smith was sent for, and on opening the
shop door "Old Sam walked in and
stood perfectly still without bride or
anyone holding h:ns white the shOea

and Mrs. Ralph Hamburger, who went
by the name of De Ford. when on Feb.
6. 1891, they lived at ia West Fifty
eighth street and robbed Carl Wer-
necke of $4,000 worth Of diamonds
They were in his store several times
and had sufficient access to his trays
for that purpose. They went with the
diamonds and were found in Canada
with seven trunks and their booty.
They claimed the diamonds were theirs
and were convicted of robbery while
protesting their innocence.
with the successful stealing OF dia-
monds from stores there are dozens OF
ATTEMPTED robberies that do not sue
coed and of which nothing is publicly
said. Among some of the more recent
successful ones was that of MIR. Alt

lost $4,000 in diamonds by sneak,
who deliberately walked into his store
and carried off his prize.
Then there was the successful and

bility, and whose name the paper sup
pressed, as such things are done In
Russia-were stolen Immediately after
the departure of the wedding guests
The cause of their disappearance re-
NAMED an absolute mystery for two
months, when the bride was discovered
selling some of them. She had actually
robbed herself. She said that she pre-
ferred ready money TO the diamonds.
Among the strange and mysterious
cases of diamond robberies that are
likely to remain unsolved is one that
occurred on historic Boston Common
on the night of Feb. s, 1850. when Mr.
Rathbun. an agent of Mr.. kahnkeoohn
of this city. was robbed of $4,000 worth
OF diamond rings. He was found on
the Common unconscious, apparently
from the effects of a drug, but knew
nothing of the occasion OF his loss.
Another was the case OF the robbery
of Henry Schaler, agent for Noah
Mitchell of New York. who was. on
Aug. 3. 1850. at the Boggs hotel, in
Utica, robbed of $4,000 in diamonds,
taken from a satchel. which was locked
in his trunk in his room. The thief was
not caught.

as he went out of the door, and left
the jeweier gazing at the desk where
he had seen his diamonds hidden.
The jeweler became restless after
waiting 10 minutes without the return
OF his expected customer. After an
other l. minutes he forced open the
desk and found an opening in its back,
and one in the door. but did not find
his diamonds. Neither did he ever find
the bride-elect or her generous father.
