all members of silver clubs throughout
the United States to give the entire day
Tuesday. if possible, to our cause. In
states where the boiling Democrats
have been allowed to use the party

ESTIMATES OF THE STATE LEADERS
Both Parties Are Claiming All the Electors
In the Middle West.


The Associated Press has obtained
estimates and claims from the state
leaders OF both parties all over the
Union. They are widely at variance.
even when IL comes to figuring on the
majority In New England states that
are given up by the Democrats. The
fight for Illinois that has been waged
by both the leading political parties in
the campaign that is just closing has
been one of the hottest struggles ever
kind In in American politics. At the
close of the campaign Hanna and the
state leaders declare themselves posi-
tive that the state will give Mckinley
100. 900 plurality; the National DEM
ocrats figure on $4,000 FOR Mckinley:
Chairman Jones says II Is doubtful
with the chances favoring Bryan. and
]. d. Campau puts II in the Bryan
colmun as safe.
In Ohio the Republicans claim the
state by the largest plurality ever
known except that of 1894. The Demo-
Gratis claim that they have an even
chance on Ohio and that the result
will be even closer than at the last
presidential election. with a probabili-
ty on their advices of Bryan getting
the electoral vote. That Indiana Is in
doubt Is the opinion of those who try
To look on the fight without prejudice.

ALTITUDE OF VARIOUS PLACES.

1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur In
this country and in the old world
within the next niue months. The re-
suits will affect all, personally, directly
or indirectly indirectly. This nation is on the
eve of the most exciting presidential
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or
county paper. a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice-a. Week
Republic, of St. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and 10 each issue it gives the
latest political news of all parties in
the field, the latest general news of the
world and many valuable special feat
besides. This model newspaper
is delivered twice-a-week by mall for
only 81 a year, or less than nne Q
copy. The price of the Daily and Sun
day Republic has recently been reduced
to only Sc a year by mail.

MONDAY EVENING, AUG. II, 1896
NANsEN. THE ORIGINAL.

Explorer Nansen is far enough on
his return from his polar expedition to
report his safety and a successful voy-
age, together with his belief that his
theory about reaching the north pole is
correct. He sends word that he would
have reached the pole, if he could have
teken more time, and that he did PEN
citrate the icy region farther than any
previous explorer, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
Well, Nansen will be Welcomed back
home and made much of, though he
may not be able to add much to the
worlds store of geographical or scien-
tiic knowledge. He may even be en-
couraged to go back, for he is an un-
usually good fellow among the Arctic
explorers. His strongest merit is that
when be goes up in the ice, he is able
TO bring himself and his crew home
again without the aid of a lot Of relief
expeditions and other trouble. This is
a point about an Arcti, investigator
that cannot be commended too highly.
Mr.. Nansen's theory is that the ice
currents flow up over the pole and
come down on the east coast of Green
land, ard he had expected to merely
drift with the current 10 his tight little
ship from the coast of Franz Joseph
land and come down on the other side
oil the world. AS be reports a lack of
time TO complete lis journey, it mag Is
assumed that either the ice. current was
too slow for his stock of provisions, or
that he discovered intervening land,
and instead of waiting until his men
began to eat each other, he philoso-
phized that tomorrow is another day,
and started home for a better equip
ment. Whatever flora and fauna he
may bring with him will be of the
rarest, for has he not been where civil
lied mar never was beforep There
will not be much of either, of course,
but more scientific interest will attach
TO what the explorer has to offer in con-
tirmation or contradiction of the cur
rent theory he started with. II he
found evidence of a moving ice current,
he has, no doubt, committed to it some
tokens which he will expect 10 find car
ried over to the east coast of Greenland
in time, and that time will serve as a
basis for estimating the speed Of the
current.
All hail, Nansen! A devoted sclen-
fist, a close observer, a clever theorist
and an original explorer-otherwise
an explorer who sets a new precedent
by bringing himself back safely.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed al ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other Sarsaparillas
sought by every mean to obtain a
showing of their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
of the rule %forbidding the entry Of
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision of the Worlds fair authorities
in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: ssAyer's Sarsaparilla
is not a patent medicine. It does not
belong to the list of nostrums. 1t is

SILVER MTLLIoNAIREs,

One of the strongest arguments the
gold standard papers in the east make
is that the silver issue is simply for the
benefit of millionaire silver mine own
ers of the western states. New Mexi-
co is a silver producing Territory, but
how many millionaire silver mine
ers has she, and how many silver mires
in New Mexico ever produced a million
OF dollars ? People living in silver
mining districts know how ridiculous
such talk is. Silver mining is the most
hazardous of all mining propositions,
and il the real truth was known, there
has been a great deal more money
spent in mining silver than the product
itself is worth. This silver king talk
may go all right In the east, but we
westerners know that II IS mere politi-
cal buncomb,

When asked regarding his ability,
their remarks are anything but COM

He is also accused of having sold out

On the whole, the Chinese population

They Never Touched Him.

--
From the Lordsburg Liberal.
1t is quite we'll known in political
circles that Collector of Internal Rev.
enue Shannon and the democratic
gang at Santa Fe do not get along
very we'll together. In fact, that gang
Is altogether too tough for a mar like
Shannon to associate with. The gang
has been trying to get rid of Shannon,
and many and numerous are the
charges that they have made against
him. rInalIy the department. at WASH
ington concluded to investigate the
office, and sent out a special inspector
to find the shape affairs were in. The
Inspectors dropped into the office un.
expectedly and gave it most thorough
inspection. He reported to the de-
partment at Washington that be found
the office in first class shape,
there was not a thing left un-
done that should be done, there was
not a thing done which should have
been loft undone. In short, he did not
know of an Office that was kept any
better. Now at Washington, all COM
plants from Santa Fe go into the
waste basket. The Liberal takes pleas
ure in making public this. fact, for 1t is
seldom that this can be said of an Of
fee run by democrats. The only way
to account for it is that the Office force
is composed of Grant county men who
never before held an office. Collector
Shannon is an old resident OF this
county, his chief deputy is the good
Deacon Looms, of Silver City, and the
clerk is Bud Moore, of Deming.
