life. It also agrees to re- cognize the O. R. T., and it's members. The question of rules and salaries is to be taken up by the telegraphers and the five general uperintendents of the sys- tenn. The management glves assurance that justice will be done to all. It is understood also that no striker will be prosecuted" The o. R. T., regards this as material victory and the re- cognitiop of the order by the Canadian Pacific, it is believed, will undoubtedly result in the dispatchers and telegraph CTS securing contract governing rules and pay.
 A Winnipeg special to the Dispatch says 8 hitch has occurred here in the settlement of the telegraphers' strike. The company refuses to take back the men who have committed the gravest acts and a difficulty has arisen over what constitutes grave act. The com pany's definition is such that the strikers refuse to accept it and have sent to headquarters for instructions. They claim none of them are guilty of grave acts and all must be taken back without prejudice. There the matter rests at noon.

PATRICK AND FREE SILVER.
The Surveyor Returns From Mexico a
 Sound Money Man.


 H. R. Patrick, who for several months past has been employed on the Gulf, Rio Grande & Pacific railroad running from Juarez to Mazatlan, Mexico, as surveyor, returned yester- day to Phoenix.
 He is heartily glad to return from the land of manana and says Arizona is tine only place after all.
 When asked about affairs in Mexico he said the country was far from be- ing as prosperous as it might be. Everybody there has a great interest in the political situation in this country and would like to see Bryan elected but any man who goes there a silver man and sees the result of free silver he will return to the United States an ardent sound money man.
 When a merchant in that country he said, goes out on the first of the month to pay his bills he usually has to take servant along to carry his sack of silver, which is by no means alight job. He cited an instance where he stopped at an hotel one nigh1 while travelling and while there, three Mexicans entered, each bearing or his shoulders, blankets or serapes filled with silver. They laid the loads down on the floor and each counted his wealth of dobe dollars. The en l tire amount did not reach high sum but the combined loads of the three would be more than one man could carry.
 
 Patrick had. to have a bag made o1 purpose to carry his silver when h, traveled anywhere, and found thas hi. money constituted the largest ant most cumbersome part of his load. ''They can all howl about free sil yer, he said, 'fbut let any one wht wants to learn something go to Mex 1 ico and he will declare in favor O gold every time"

REPUBLICAN, SUCCESS CERTAIN.

It is now but twenty days until election. Never has campaign awakened such general interest; never have issues been more thoroughly studied. Never has pre-convention predictions been more completely full filled. It was a foregone conclusion months before the St. Louis conven- tion that whoever that convention nominated would be elected. Wise Republican leaders foresaw that a des- perate effort would be made by the Democrats to regain power by means of some popular fallacy that would have some connection with the word free. Having made a notorious failure of the free trade policy which was the means of giving US Grover and his ac- com mpamying object lessons, something g new would have to be, used. There was little doubt what the new word would be, accordingly the Republican National convention adopted a safe and conservative platform and made the financial plank of that platform one that would admit of no fallacies or humbugging.
 The Democrats did just what every one expected they would do They based their platform upon two words,
