The Wheat Market.

New YORK Oct 24-After the unsettled
and lower opening there was a slight rise OF
4.a3sc. At 11:3O May was quoted at S0l2
and December at 779s In the last half hour
prices again fell off and the lowest tig1rcs OF
the day were reached. Compared with last
nights cose tho loss is 3l2 cents Beyond
question the difficulty in getting money ac-
ccmmodations exercises most influence in the
market. and this has been the main feature
in most of the reactions recently. Unloading
was general west as well AS here, while buy.
ers are getting scarce, especially among out
sidcrs. Sales for the day we're 5 295, COO
bushels. December closed at 1865 and May
at 1875.
CHICAGO, Oct 24-The wheat market be-
came psnic.stricken about IL o'clock, prices
dropping like q fash. The people who played
for a bull turn this morning early, found
themselves on thin ground, and in endeavor-
ing to put themselves on firmer footing
precipitated the second break of the
day. December wheat fell away from 705,,
where it vas hanging after the opening con.
fusion to SO, within five minutes.
D tliculty i'll obtaining money to carry grain
is still reported, hence the anxiety TO SELL 1t
WAS believed that Cudahy sold wheat on the
last break to-day, how much be parted with,
being matter of conjecture to the trade.
December wheat closed ut 693ic, net loss of
33sc for tie day.

elected U. S. Senator by the votes of the
two populist members of the Illinois
legislature on promise that he would
support free silver-boasted that when
the famous peace conference" OF
which he was member, met in Wash
ington, just before war was declared
against the South, he had grossly and
basely deceived the Southern members
ofthat conference by promising things
he would not have supported, and
which he knew would not be accept
ed" how any Southern man can be led
by him into the ranks of the republi-
can party, is what old time Southern
people cannot understand, though some
of the new issue seem able to do so.

Chained in the Flames.

WILL1AMsPoRT, Pa, Oct. 24.-The
small frame house of Martin Morse, at
Canton, was discovered on fire yester-
day. The doors were fastened, and
upon breaking them down, the neigh
bors found Mrs. Leroy, ninety years old,
alone and chained to the wall. The
chains were broken and the frantic wo-
man carried from the building as the
roof fell in. Mrs. Leroy made her
home with her daughter and son-in-law,
both of whom were away from the house
when the fire occurred. Mr.. Morse was
working in the field nearby and later
the wife returned from neighbours
house, after the building had been con-
sumed. Mr.. and Mrs. Morse, whose
reputation is good, say that the old lady
is childish, and to keep her out of mis-,
chief they chained her when they went
away from home. The fire began in
the top floor and Mrs. Leroy was chain
ed down stairs.

Four MONTHS ago Mr.. Cleveland had
so demoralized snd disorganized the
democratic party that it's most sanguine
friends had abandoned all hope OF its
success at the coming election. Now,
however, all that has been changed,
and so strong is the belief that the
party has good chance of victory that
large sums of money are being risked
upon the issue. In such condition 1t
seems almost impossible to believe that
men calling themselves democrats, es-
pecially Southern men, should now,
when their party is engaged in life
and death struggle, desert it, and go
over to the enemy, who is opposed to all
democratic principles and policies, and
whose candidate for President both
spoke and voted for the force bill, and
who boasts that he was with Sheridan
in the Valley of Virginia.

THE COUNTY and city judges and at
torneys, or, if they fail to do 80, the
democratic committees thereof, should
see to it that the States officers be
properly instructed in respect Of the
election laws, so that those engaged in
the attempt at tally keeping by others
than the segally appointed election off,
GERS, or in any other scheme for pre-
venting the complete and entire Sc
crecy of. the ballot, may be arrested and
jailed at once, to be tried after the close
of the polls. 1t is bad enough for the
popular will to be counteracted by
bribery and intimidation, before the
election; too much, to have the laws
and constitution of the State set at open
defiance at the polls.

BORON HAS DROPPED OUT.-The
Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch writes: "The truth Of
the matter is that the bottom has fallen
out of the gold standard Sound
money movement in Virginia. Mum
bers of business people, who were at
the beginning very much in favor of the
so .called "sound-money' movement,
nave been changed by the disclosures OF
the peculiar tactics adopted by its self
constituted leaders in Virginia, and by
the arguments made for free silver dur
ing the canvass The honest election
methods of the 'sound-money' men, the
importation of Pinkerton's thugs, the
lavish use by them of Hanna's "bar'I,' u
and other little things that have
recently cropped out, have opened the
eyes of the white democrats, and with
rare exceptions they are back again
in the rank of the regular democracy
and ready to vote for Bryan and Sewall
on the Sd OF next month. They have
learned the true inwardness of the in
terest displayed by the railroads, banks
aud other institutions engaged in the
fight of the moneyed powers against
the people, and they have come down
to the conclusion that the so-called
'sound-money,' 'honest-elections' peo-
pie at the bead of the Mckinley move
ment in Virginia are nothing more than
bogus patriots, wearing the mask OF
Mark Hanna.
Virginia is safe for Bryan by a ma
jority of over 10000, and she will send
g solid silver delegation to the next
House.
