FARMERS NEAR SPENCER.
All for Mckinley, Says Cattle Dealer
Horace steele.

"A bet of $50 on the election Of Mckinley
was posted at Spencer Tuesday. but failed
to produce a taker," said Horace Steele,
a cattle dealer from Spencer, as he was
about TO board a train at the Union Sta
ton yesterday afternoon.
"On top Of that" he continued. "a Louis
vile man proposed to put up $1,000 against
$3.50 on McKinley's election. and although
he hunted the town over all day for some
body to take him up, he failed. That shows
pretty well how political feeling is running
in Spencer. It's hot Republican, j tell you;
It's the warm kind that scores. Mckinley
is getting converts from the Democratic
ranks. / could name a number If i rad
time. For instance, there is John Free
man, n sheep dealer. sixty years of age,
who has been a lifelong Democrat. He has
turned over for Mckinley because he don't
want free wool. He says he wants tariff
and sound money and will vote the Re-
publican ticket to get II.
Another 1 think of is Frank Freezing,
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket and
who now wants sound money and has
turned out of the old rut.
I'm the quarry of Walter Kessler all the
employees to a man are solid for Mckinley.
/ have been all around through the country
about Spencer among the farmers buying
cattle and they are all for Mckinley. The
feeling in favor OF the Ohio man is grow
ing and Is twice as strong now as IL was
three weeks ago. They all want tariff and
sound money. You can safely bet that
Spencer and, the surrounding country will
go Republican with a majority that
counts"

Typographfcal Unions Trouble with
Frce-Silver rgans

President Prescott, of the international
Typographical Union, has returned from
Chicago. where he has been on business of
the union. Some ex-members Of the union
and others have organized and Incorporated
a union under the name The Allied Print

unions have for their general organization
and is printed on their labels. The new
union has gone so far as TO seek TO enjoin
the old union from using the name, and has
secured a temporary restraining order re-

FUN WITH A REPORTER.
A Travelling Man PaImed on ms Sem
atOr CaEery.

Yesterday a gentleman of the name of
Caffery, who travels for a Columbus 90
company, and is withal a fat and jovial
traveller, made one of his frequent calls at
the Grand Hotel. With much chuckling
the clerks of the hosiery asked every re-
porter that came in If he would like to in
terview Caffery. The very fact of a Grand
Hotel clerk knowing a news Item might
have served to put the boys on their guard,
but it did not. and all were tripped up. The
Sun, Sentinel and Journal men went up
against it, in turn. but as soon as they in
troduced themselves Mr.. Cafery told them
who he was and enjoyed the joke. The
News man was the last to turn up. and by
the time he came the others had loaded
Caffery up TO play his part.
He accepted the title of Senator" grace
fully and. though he knew nothing more
about allegory, he staggered through a
ing suspicion, with the help of the other re-
porters. who broke in occasionally to sug-
gest answers to some of the more trouble
some questions. At last. however. the in
nocent young man from the News stumped
the whole crowd by asking merely for his
own information who had been elected to
succeed Blanchard in the Senate. The news
was broken to him gently that he had been
interviewing a commercial traveller. instead
of the man selected for permanent chair
man of the National Democratic conven-
ton. and he tore up his copious notes and
sadly went his way.

THE OUTLOOK AT WABASH.
Many Democrats for Mckinley, Says
n Big Four Superintendent.

Superintendent S. t. Blizzard. of the
Michigan division OF the Big Four, whose
headquarters are at Wabash. was in town
yesterday and expressed himself as con-
ldent that Wabash will give a large Re-
publican majority.
Il Am for sound money on a gold basis"
said he "and If | couldn't vote that way. I
wouldn't vote at all. / have no doubt in
the world but that Mckinley will be elected
and | feel certain that this State will be
carried by him with a 5000 majority. All
along the railroad there is a feeling
strongly in favor OF sound money. Nine
out of every ten employees want IL and
while l don't know that all will vote the
Republican ticket. l do know they will vote
for gold and that Will not hurt the Re-
publican party, even If II does not assist in
a Republican election.
Wabash is solid for Mckinley. OF course
there is the usual amount OF free-silver
talk all over the country, but that won't
cut any figure in the result of the election.
l know a dozen lifelong Democrats i'm
Wabash who have turned from their party
and want a gold standard and will vote for
II by casting their ballots for the Repub-
lican candidates."

TRAVELLING MEN AT CANTON.
The Drummers Doing Republican
Missionary Work This Year.

Missionary Work This Year.
j. c. Davidson, of Chicago, was In the
city yesterday, and will leave for Canton
to-day. where the travelling men will call
on Mckinley. Large delegations will go
down to the Republican Mecca from
Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids and
other cities, and it is expected that 1,5OO or
more will form in the line when it marches
to Mckinley's home. They will carry red.
white and blue umbrellas bearing McKin-
ley's portrait.
Mr.. Davidson is in possession of a letter
sent out by a st. Paul wholesale house to
its travelling men. which is a political straw
showing which way the wind in business
circles is blowing. In the letter the en-
ployes are cautioned to think the business
situation over critically before exercising
their right of suffrage, although there is no
attempt to intimidate them or control their
votes.
1T is our solemn conviction that the sue
cess of the silver parry will produce one of
the most terrible commissions this country
has ever experienced" runs the letter.
and that the panic of 1898 will be nothing
to it,"
1t Is stated as their honest belief tina a
stagnation of business and a paralysis of
trade generally would follow the changing
OF the present gold standard TO a silver
basis. and as a consequence business
houses VIII fail on every hand, wages will
be cut down and every man not an absolute
necessity will be discharged.

Rev. DR.. Sims, of the Meridian-street M.
T.. Church. has reached home from his Eu-
ropean- trip, n is lying seriously i'll with
peritonitis at the parsonage. He became
dangerously afflicted while in Glasgow,
Scotland, and for three weeks the attend
ing physicians had grave doubt as to his
survival. He was cautioned against leav-
ing that city until his recovery, lest a trip
prove fatal, but he insisted on being con-
veyed TO London in order to take passage
on the steamer. where his rooms had been
engaged He bore up much better than
was expected. and is now believed to be
out OF danger. the accompanying fever
having left him.. He will not be able TO
resume his church work for some time.
Next Sunday his pulpit will be occupied
by Rev. II. A. Goodwin.

says that while he is providing for a large
crowd next week, he does not believe the
capacity of the hotel viii be tested as II
was during the g. A. X. encampment. Ac-
commodations of the best sort will be de-
manded by the class OF men who will at
tend the convention. The New York dele
cation Is TO stop at the Bates, and as they
are all wealthy men. makeshifts of any
sort will not be acceptable. Many rooms
Of the hotel. for instance, will accommo-
date four guests. The class OF men that
will attend the convention will object TO
being crowded and will probably refuse 10
occupy rooms with more than two guests
In them. This means that they VIII nave
10 pay double price. To this they Will not
object. as they are accustomed 10 paying
for what they get and getting what they
want. The larder OF the Bates and Dem
ison are always well stocked with grocer
les. canned goods and such articles as can
be carried in the store room. Meats, fruits,
vegetables and other perishables. however,
are purchased fresh from the markets
every day.
'Most of our meats said Mr.. Fulwell.
come from local dealers, as wei as our
fruits and vegetables. If for any cause the
local supply should give out, we are close
enough TO Chicago TO get anything we
want in a few hours"
The force OF help, cooks, walters, pen
boys, han boys and chambermaids has
been about doubled in both hotels. so that
there will be a large army of men and
women on hand next week to attend the
wants OF the hotel guests. Together they
will employ nearly a thousand people.
The amount of provisions used IN a large
hotel on occasions like the coming conven-
ton is enormous. Meat Is bought by the
ton. watermelons by the wagonioad ana
case after case of peaches, tomatoes, APP
piles and other seasonable fruit have 10 De
delivered each morning, when they are
stored away in large refrigerators for the
days consumption. Instead OF buying
beeves in the whole. choice rumps, sides
of ribs and shoulder cuts are bought In
pieces averaging from forty TO. nfty
pounds. 1t is impracticable to buy the en-
tire animal, as many portions are insult
able for the table of a first-class hosiery,
and there is even much refuse when moth
ing but the choicest cuts are taken.
Enough is left from this source alone TO
provide for the hundreds of men and
women under the general term of help. 1t
is interesting TO go through the store
rooms of hotels like the Bates, Denison
and Grand, where enough canned goods,
barrels of sugar. sacks OF coffee, barrels
of -four and provisions of other sorts are
kept on hand to stock n large-sized retail
store. Resources of the store room are gen.
orally sufficient to provide for an unusual
number of guests, and n t~elepohne at one
end of the room places the stewards In
instant communication with the wholesale
houses in case IL should be necessary TO
order barrels of sugar or other supplies.
Mr.. Fulwell says the local market here is
very good and that there is no trouble In
getting plenty of choice, fresh fruits and
vegetables.
