&. o. P. Not so Confident.

The air of confidence that seemed
formerly to hang about National Re.
publican headquarters has given way
to one of anxiety. Advices received
there from the Middle West are SO dis
couraging that the polls of two States
in the West, made by Mr.. Hanna's
committee, have not seen The light of
day.
The poll of Nebraska, made nearly
three weeks ago, is still unpublished,
and it is claimed on good authorized
that it gives the Democrats the Sta tie
by %. Zoo votes. The poll OF Ohio, made
about the same time, gives Mckinley
less than 10000 majority The Ohio
poll was made largely on lists in which
all the railroad men and employees OF
big manufacturing works have been
counted as solidly for Mckinley. TAX
ing these facts into consideration the
the poll virtually figures out q Bryan
majority.
Instead OF giving out these polls the
Grosvenor prcgnosticaticn was sent
out over the country.
While those at Republican National
Headquarters who are in 6 position to
know are appre hensive of The result in
Ohio, they have practically given up
'hii hCPO VA A'iiAAO1Os cbi1d toAlCCAAtA q
ing their efforts to secure 8 portion of
the electoral vote from West Virginia
and Michigan.
The effect of the II, 900, ,0G@ documents
sent cut by the Republicans from
Chicago and New York Las been fl
start discussion and each succeeding
/ poll in a doubtful State las shown a
gain for Bryan. As soon as Mr.. Hanna
returns from Chicago they will again
flood the country with literature, and
the army of spellbinders now working
in the East will be turned Loose in Ohio
Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Iowa, West
Virginia and Kentucky, winding uk
with a big rally in each district the
Saturday before election. The cam
pafgn barrels will be tapped, and the
intention is to try to carry the States
with hurrah.
All these plans are known to the
Democratic National Committee, which
has already prepared to take the wind
out of the sails of the hurrah campaign

NO DOUBT ABOUT OHIO.

WASHINGTON, September IL. = AT
Democratic headquarters today en-
couraging reports were received from
all sections of the country, but per.
haps the most satisfactory Of them all
was one which Presidential. J. Warner,
of the Bimetallic League. brought
from Ohio. He said
"There is no doubt about Ohio at
all. Mr.. Bryan will carry it by very
large majority. I am thoroughly ac
quainted with the situation there, and
in nearly every county. The farmers
throughout the State are mostly for
the free coinage of silver. The miners,
rs per cent. of whom have heretofore
been Republicans. are now with Us.
Yes, 80 per cent. Of them. The wage
earners throughout the State are with
us.
Il can give you several counties. for
example, where | am best acquainted
In Washington county there are hun
dreds Of Republicans who gre out for
Bryan and free silver, and so far. after
diligent search. only five Democrats
have been found who are expected to
bolt the ticket. In Morgan county
there are hundreds of Republicans al
ready in our free silver clubs, and but
two boiters from us.
"The same condition exists in the
farming and mining sections of the
State as in the counties I have named.
The miners are now no longer talking
tariff, but money. They know now
what the difficulty is, and that there
is no hope for the future except
through free silver coinage.
'As for the great Middle States, the
West and the South, similar conditions
exist, and Mr.. Bryan will sweep them
clean in November"
''What about the East 7'
''Well, y said General Warner. "the
free silver cause has spread there al
ready. In Western New York, where
have spoken in several campaigns.
the free silver sentiment is predomi
nant, and today is stronger than ever,
and growing stronger every day.
Thousands of former Republicans
have come out for free silver and for
Bryan and joined free silver clubs,
and the accessions to these clubs is
increasing daily.
Il have spoken recently also in
Connecticut-at Hartford, New Haven.
Meriden and Middletown-to large,
intelligent and enthusiastic audiences,
and the chairman of the State Com
mittee tells NE. and can corroborate
his statement, that if Bryan needs
'Connecticut's electoral vote it will be
his"

To Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the nse of SO called blood
remedies means the expenditure of
many dollars and arrangement of the
stomach. That catafrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self evident when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or exposure
to cold, and occur most frequently dur
ing the winter and spring, though the
blood is as pure then as in summer or
fall. /. A remedy which quickly relieves
and by thorough treatment cures the
catarrhal attacks has been found in
Ely's Cream Balm.

How is This !?

James Creelman in the New York
World, a gold newspaper, writes as
follows: The worst element in this
campaign is the part which Mark
Hanna's fund is playing. Candor
compels me to give the facts without
regard to whether Mr.. Bryan's election
would be good thing or bad thing.
There is plenty of evidence, in my
| opinion, to show that this is rapidly
becoming the most corrupt and cor
rupting political struggle known to
the American people.
Bryan may be defeated, but the in
| tfiuence of money and of Mark Hanna's e
methods upon the voters of Wisconsin,
in common with the voters of other
States, will not disappear after cleo
tion day.
Let me give one example. | speak
of q matter I know and understand.
The Reliance Machine Works, owned
by the Edward 2. Allis Company. are
situated ia Milwaukee. There are
employed in this establishment some
thing like 1900 men. Here the Bryan
sentiment is very strong.
1t is an absolute fact that eighteen
.4orkingmen in this establishments are
at this moment on the payroll of the
republican State committee as secret
political agitators. Their companions
are ignorant of this fact and do not
suspect it.
The result is that these men have an
influence which they could not possibly
WELD were the truth known.
The republican committee has also,
l am informed, upon it's pay rolls a
large number of men in another estab-
lishment, which employs about 1000
workingmen. In several of the fac
tories in New York gold standard argu-
ments are pinned each week to the en-.
velopes containing wages.
The republican committee has also
sent men into the mining district OF
Wisconsin to offer $5 in Mexican silver
for $2.75 in American money.
A business man is not the most pa
tient creature in the world. He cannot
wait to hear my long -drawn-out story
of the cause of his ailment He don't
care two straws about fine spun
theory of how he should treat himself.
He may be predisposed to scrofnla, or
consumption. 'sThat," he will tell you
'shas nothing to do with the case" He
wants to be we'll. If he can be cured,
write out prescription and send in
your bill So, here's the first part of
the proposition.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is a microbe hunter and killer.
Many persons of scrofulous blood, en-
courage the breaking out of unsightly
sores, to prevent the disease going to
the lungs. There is no need of this
state of dread and discomfort. Purify
the blood. It can be done. "Golden
Medical Discovery" will cure 20 per
cent. of all consumptive cases, also OF
all other lingering bronchial, throat
and lung diseases.

Bismarck on Sill YER.

The following correspondence De
tween Governor Culberson of Texas
and Prince Bismarck of Germany is
interesting reading at this time:-
(. A dispatch from Dallas, Tex, dated
September 10th. says:
In speech to, night, Governor Cul
berson read the following significant
correspondence between himself and
Prince Bismarck on the money ques
4, ticn:
"Prince Bismarck:
''Sir:-The great question of finance
i is now of supreme interest to the peo
pie of the United States. 1t is pre-
tended in various forms. but in gen
eral way it may be said to be first.
| whether the United States shall adopt
she single gold standard, or second,
whether they shall adopt bimetallsm
with both gold and silver as the stand
ard or primary money. The argument
in favor of each is well known to you.
but it is particularly insisted that we
should adopt the policy of bimetallism,
because the supply of gold in the
world for coinage is insufficient 10
meet the demand, and because such q
standard will still further depress the
! values of all property.
! Which, in your Judgment, is, the
best policy to adopt,-the gold standard
or bimetallism, giving your reasons?
What effect, in your Judgment will
j the immediate adoption of bimetaiiism
| by the United States have on the
cause of bimetallism in Germany and
other great commercial nations?
&c. A. CULBERSON,
| governor of Texas"
! In reply, Prince Bismarck said:
| ''Friedrichsruhe, August "a, 1896.
| "Honored Sir:-Your esteemed favor
has been duly received. I hold that
this is the very hour that would be
advisable to bring about between the
nations chiefly engaged in the worlds
commerce a mutual agreement in
favor of the establishment of bimetall-
ism. The United States are freer, by
far, in their movements than any ma
tion of Europe, and, hence, if the peo-
pie OF the United States should find it
compatible with their interest to take
independent action in the direction of
bimetallism, cannot but believe that
such action would exert a salutary
influence upon the consummation of
International agreement"

Ibelieve my experience in selecting fertili-

well as to myself, and in making selections
their interests as well as my own are carefully

Ny stock, as heretofore, will consist of the
best goods made in fine mechanical cOndi-

ers can get anything they want at any time in
season.
As profits will be short, must make the cost
of handling just as small as possible, and will
therefore not be able to sell through agents,
or to send out any one to canvass, and all such
unnecessary expense will be saved by farmers
who buy directly of me.
