CANVASSING CHICAGO.
HOuse-tO-HOuse Poll Shows $4,000
Plurality for Mckinley.

Plurality for Mckinley.
From the New York World.
CHICAGO. October 1.-two events OF
great Importance happened today.
The sound money citizens committee COM
pleted its house-to-house canvass Of the city
of Chicago. The poll shows a plurality OF
5000 in the city for Mckinley II indi-
Gates that more than forty thousand demo-
Gratis In Chicago alone will vote against
Bryan on the sound money issue. The re-
publican state committee canvass of the
state by school districts indicates a plural
ity for Mckinley of 5000 outside OF Chi
cago. If the citizens committee canvass
and the school district canvass are cor
rect. the state will go republican by $780,
OU plurality.
The second event, of equal significance
and Importance, was direct result of he
first The republican national committee
is now so sure Of Illinois that it decided
to divert some of its most important speak
ers from Illinois to states west of the Ms
sissippi, which are not necessary to the
election of Mckinley. Strenuous efforts are
row to be made in Nebraska, Kansas.
North and South Dakota, Wyoming and
California for effect upon Congressman and
state legislators, which will choose United
States Senators. Speaker Reed. Represen-
tatives Boutelle. Dolliver and possibly Mel
son Dingley will carry the war over the
Rocky mountains.
This means the republican national COM
mittee considers Illinois absolutely sure.
Two months ago the first school district
canvass of the state was made Normally
about f1fty-three voters In every hundred
in Illinois, outside Chicago, are republic
cans. and forty-seven in every hundred
are democrats. The first canvass showed
that only about forty republican voters in
every fifty-three could be counted for the
republican ticket, while about forty-two in
every forty-seven of the rural democrats
were solid for free silver. This indicated
that about Is per cent of the voters were
actually In doubt, with the odds in favor OF
free silver.

ley's election, grading his different bets ac-
cording to his different estimates Of Odds
His wagers find no takers, although one of
them is on 10000 for Mckinley in this
county. more than twice what it has ever
given any republican candidate for Presi-
dent The only answer the democrats have
chosen to give Is to say that Cox has vio-
lated state law in posting the bets. and
one Of their organs here quotes this section
Of the statute against him:
Section $3.50 of the Revised Statutes of
Ohio says that whoever makes any bet or
wager on the result of any election in Ohio
for any public office. whether national or
local. shall be fined not more than $500
nor less than S.. or imprisoned not less
than ten days nor more than six months;
and when the amount put at hazard is be-
tween said sums, the fine shall equal the
amount so hazarded''
But there has been nothing beyond a
threat to prosecute him.

MIR. BUTLER TO MIR. WATSON
His Reply to the letter That
Was so Long Lost.

His Reply to the letter That
Was so Long Lost.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 15.- Senator
Marion Butler, chairman OF the Pop
ulist national campaign committees
today made public the following let
ter, which he addressed to Mr.. Wat
son two days after the ipt Of his
letter of acceptance;
Washington, D. O., Oct, 26.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson,
Ga.
Dear Sir:--Your letter Of accept
ancs was received Saturday night.
It had been detained in the postofice
for want Of sufficient postage.
You, liz effect, advise POpulists
not to support the joint electoral
tickets that have been arranged in
number Of States. Is it possible
that you fully appreciate the effect
Of such advice? At least, upon re-
f4ction, you must know that if
enough Populists should follow such
advice, it would mean tho defeat OF
Bryan and the eleetion of Mckinley.
Besides, if your advice should ba fol.
lowed By enough Populists, the
Peoples Party would not have a
single slector in the electoral college.
In the states where We have joint
electoral tickets, We will get every
elector that we do get; and, besides,
it i, Ia those states whore we will
get the bulk, if not all, OF the PEG.
pies Party congressman. In your
own state, and other states which
have followed your advice against
electoral tickets, we will not get s
single elector, and I fear not many
congressman, if any.
You certsinIy cannot mean, how
ever, much you have favored a nald-
dis of the road policy in the begin
ming, TO advise your friends to do
that which at this tine would be the
most effective agency in placing in
power Mckinley and his backers-
the trusts and monopolies.
Can any personal or party injus.
ice, however great, justify US in be.
ing responsible, either directly OF
indirectly, for placing in power the
stock jobbers, monopolists, trusts,the
British gold ring and all Of the COM
bined robbers of the people and
enemies Of good government?
In the name OF outraged and suf-
fering humanity, whose prayers TO-
day go up from millions of homes
for William J. Bryan, in his heroic
and marvellous struggle against the
minions of corporate greed and the
hellish gold conspiracy, let us sinh
every other consideration and hold
up our hands and do the full duty
Of Americans and patriots. Let US
remember that it is q suffering peo
pie land a betrayed republic, and no.
Democratic politicians, that today
call for our help and demand oui
services. Bryan win be elected and
the government redeemed if every
patriot does his duty. Let us dc
ours.
Therefore, beseech you to change
at lesst that part of your letter which
gives advice which, if followed,
would surely help the common
enemy.
If you do not, then you, yoarseit'
must assume the responsibility OF
giving such document to the pub
lie at this time. Yours truly,
MARION BUTLER.

of cur readers, having conducted 8
number Of revival meeting in this city
and in many Of the principal cities
and towns of the Southern and
Western States. In his two-fold
mission he has literally followed the
divine command to preach the gospel
and heal the sick. He graduated in
medicine in Cincinnati in 1865, and
spent twelve years in general Prac-
tee, during which time he discovered
and introduced a new remedy for
eatsrrh. bronchitis, asthma and other
diseases Of the air passages, which
has been remarkably successful in
curing these diseases, in which ether
remedies have so signally failed.
In offering this remedy to the pub
lie DR.. Bloasor pursues an original
method which at once demonstrates
his confidence in the remedy and
wins tho confidence OF the afflicted.
He gives to every sufferer who ap-
plies to him sample of the remedy
Tor trial, absolutely free, and says tc
him: "rry it and see for yourself
and buy supply or not, as you may
wish after trying the sample"
1t is evident that unless the remedy
was exactly as it is represented to be,
it could not be sold in this way.
This remedy is entirely different
from all others and is used In very
simple, practical way. 1t is vege-
table compound possessing wonder-
tuI healing properties, which Is used
By smoking by common pipe, like
tobacco, bat it does not contain a
particle Of that or any other poison
ous or injurious drug. The smoke,
in going through the air passages,
applies the fresh, warm extract of the
medicine directly to the affected parts
IN the most remote and inaccessible
cavity and duct connected with tbs
nasal passage, giving speedy relief,
healing the mucous membrane and
max ng q radical, permanent cure.
1t is the only remedy that can be
successfully applied by the patient in
self trestmsnt. No kind OF stuff
douche, ointment or spray can reach
all the affected locslities and, there
fore, all such remedies fail to cure.
Every reader Of THE PEopLE's

nasal or post-nssal cstarrh, bronchI-
tbs, Asthma, or deafness, is invited to
call OF address DR.. J. w. Blosser &

sample, is 81 for one months treat

Joseph Hart's New play "a Gay Old
Boy, at the Academy.

Considerable attention has been at
traeted to the return engagement of
Joseph Fart and his very clever company
of comedians in his successful musical
comedy, "A Gay Old Boy" at the Acad-
envy Of Music this week. Mr.. Hart and
his company were one of the big artistic
successes to appear at the Academy last
season, where HI scored a decided sue
cess. His play, instead of being the hack
neyed old stuff usually attendant upon
a musical farce, was as bright as sun
shine and as sparkling as the ever-favor-
tie wine.
Mr.. Hart was for many years, until
last season, of the firm of Halfen & Hart.
when he made a departure which was
attended with happy results. "a Gay
Did Boy is the story of a foolish old
man, who, although a widower and the
falls in love with a French actress. His
deceased wife stated in her will that her
property should not revert to her husband
in case he remarked within two years
after her death.
The marriage to the Partisan performer
has occurred within the forbidden time
and the new husband e~ndeavors to keep
the fact a secret. He finds much diff
Guilty IN doing this. for the reason that
his daughters suddenly arrive home. The
artistic BECOMES a domestic per force, and
has violent love made to her by her hus-
bands friend, who is ignorant Of the mar
rage. The situations are said to be ex-
tremely ludicrous and the complications
wonderful.

rho Assignment of Mr.. Turner.


The misfortune which has fallen upon
Mr.. william II. Turner will be deeply re-
GREETED by his friends and by the com
munity at large, He has been in. business
in this city many years-thirty or more.
we believe-and his career through all
that time has been honorable. His bust
ness was a legitimate one in all respects.
He dealt mainly in the -necessaries of life.
he was not a Spectator. All his transac-
tions were conservative and he always
did justice to his patrons confidence.
1t is sad that after so long a career of
success he should be dragged down by
conditions for which he is in no way re-
sponsible. but which are purely general
in their character. The panic which has
been produced by Organism has eurtailed
consumption even Of such goods as Mr..
Turner dealt in, or rather it has restricted
consumption to the cheaper or less profit
able classes of goods. At the same time,
it has caused a ~stringency of payments
which is equivalent to a course of slow
s~trangulation as respects retail trade.
Many of Mr.. Turner's customers find their
incomes previously diminished by the
~stagnation of BUSINESSES Some salaried men
are out Of position or are accepting d.
unfinished stipends. Men who are in bust
ness for themselves find profits non-exist-
ent. Others. who have a little money are
boarding it for the black days that are
sure to come if Bryan should be elected.
Thus it happens that Mr.. Turner finds
himself with $4,000 worth of assets on
his books, in the form of open accounts,
on which he cannot realize.
Here is a lesson for the men who are
now insanely bowling for silver. Here is
a lesson for Senator Bill Daily. Here is a
lesson for the Democratic County Com
mittee and for the club members all over
Hudson who are shouting for Bryan and
cheap money. Here is a lesson right at
their own doors, They talk of getting
more employment for workers. This is
they way they get it. This ailur turns
at least twenty people out on the street
without means of earning their nveli-
hood.
