no authority to speak for Nj Harrison he
believed he knew the Generals mind, and
he desired to say shat Gen Harrison

cepting election as Senator.

is being suggested. lie knows that there
are three or four members of the general
assembly who wish to vote for him in

tion at this time. he could say, how
ever, that the status of the case was 80
plain that it was perfectly olearathat the

WAS illegal.
"The Portland convention was olearly

any chance of Mr.. Frank: getting the

election declared void on account of IL

but who the assailiant could have been

as at first.
From information secured through the
postal authorities In Lynn the police
have learned that Mrs. Collins has for
sometime past frequently received letters
from Boston addressed in masculine

letters from Boston in connection with
the statement of John J. O'Brien that

The Visit of the Ambassador to West Point
Spoiled By Rain.

West Point, N. Y, August 31.-Con
tinuous rain today interferred with the
big demonstration in honor of Ii Hung
Chang's visit to the military academy.
As early as O'Clock crowds began to
arrive by boat and train and by noon
at least 10000 people were upon the
grounds. The rain preoluded any out
side military display, the drills and re-
ception at the superintendent's quarters
were abandoned. The Dolphin with the
distinguished guests aboard, dropped
anchor at 1910, about. 300 yards from
the landing.
At the dock was stationed Company

of this fight means.
TIE speaker next passed to an arraign-
ment OF Mr.. Reed who he declared was
avoiding the real issues and whose heart
he asserted was not in his work. He said
that Mr Reed stated that oontidence
was what was needed but did not tell
the people who or what to put 1t in. He
did not say who to vote for but only who
not to vote for. He said Mr.. Reed
was really bimetallist. He has seen the
silver countries of the world rising in
commercial prominence and the farms
of Maine proftless. He knows gold

ruptoy. Acknowledging as he does the
miserable and helpless condition of your
industries he only says that panics are

Mr.. tWilliams said he could read lot
more statements of a similar nature from
Mr.. Reeds speeches bus out of his deep
kindness of heart he said he did not wish
so humiliate the speaker any further by
reading them.
The speaker then passed to review of

White River junction, Vt, August 80.
-ereater interest seems to centre in the
result Of the election to be held in Yer
mont tomorrow than has been manifested
since 1880. An active campaign has been
conducted by each of the two leading po-
litioal parties, and almost entirely upon
national issues.
This candidates of the several parties
for Governor are as follows: Mai or
Josiah Grout of Derby, Republican DR..
j. Henry jackson of Barre, Democrat
John Battell Of Ripton, Populist. Rod
ney Whittemore, of St. Albans, Prohibit
ionist. The vote this year. will be COM
pared with that of 1892 the last presi-
dential year, when the vote for Governor
was as follows: Lew Z. Fuller, Repub-
lican, 81, 910; Bradley B. Smalley, Demo
orat, 1926; Edward L. Allen, 1,525;
scattering, 221. Majority for Fuller, II, 956.
There is no doubt whatever that the Re-
publican candidate will be elected Gov
ernor this year as usual, and the question
which arouses the great degree of inter
est in the result is, 'WhAt will be his
majority"
The Republican majority is variously
estimated from 25 600 to 10000. So large
majority as 10000 is hardly expected,
except by getting out a considerably
large number Of the stay at homes of the
party. In certain localities only about
sixty per cent of registration has been
polled. The candidates Of both of she
Two leading parties are deservedly popu
lar. All things considered the probabiii
ty is The Republican majority VIII exceed
%, 900 and not go over %, 600. In either
event it must be admitted the result will
be a victory for the sound money and
will doubtless be so looked upon through
out the country.

We are opposed to Republican protec-
tion. Silver agitation began in the
efforts of the producers of silver to OBJ
tain higher price for their products
The Bland-Allison act of 1873 and the
so-oalled Sherman act Of 1890 were meas
ures largely designed to afford protection
to the produote1s of silver. Tbs lattor
act so threatened the national credit
and produced such distrust of the power
of the governmet to maintain the stand

any other influences the business de-
preston of the last three years is due.
We cannot endorse the candidates
