CHANGES FROM 1892 VOTE.

The curious phase of these campaign
figures is that the Popocrats officially
concede that 10000 Democrats are
against Bryan. They accept the sound
money figures, but insist that on the
presidential vote of 1892 they can still
win. That vote gave Democratic
plurality of 40,O20.. Add to that the
Populist vote of 23,5O0 and the Repuh-
leans are 63,520 votes behind. On that
basis the 10000 sound money Demo
Gratis could all go to Mckinley and yet
Bryan would be ahead.
Much has happened in Kentucky.

FROM REGISTRATION FIGURES.

ROM REGlS1IAIlON F1GU RES.
Another way to illustrate the feeling
here may be found in the registration.
in kentucky the voter declares his
principles when he registers. in order
that he may participate in the prima-
ries of his party. Last year the regis
tration in this city showed 5000 Demo-
cratic majority, and yet the county
went Republican on election day by
1000 This year the registration in
Louisville shows 1900 Republican ma
jority, which means Mckinley ma jor-
ity of $4,000 at least. Sound money
Democrats it must be remembered, reg
lister as Democrats, whether Mckinley
men or not, so they do not show in the
Republican increase. Lexington shows
a gain in registration of 700. Henderson
a gain of 562. and Greensboro. Coving-
ton and Newport in proportion.
The canvass shows many other in
tereStinS and significant features. Joe
Blackburn's home county. Woodford,
has 149 outspoken gold Democrats. 1t
went 300 Democratic last year, and will
give at least 100 sound money ma jority
next month. Mercer county in which
Wat Hardin lives, will also turn to
sound money, and Senator Lindsay
looks for over 400 Mckinley majority

good results are expected is Shelby. in
the center of the state. 1t is rock

Bryan type. There are nearly 800 gold
Democrats there, and the county will
go for Mckinley. Campbell county. in

IL were, Into air or water as they pro-
coed from the great magnet, thereby
losing force. But there is nothing to
hinder the planting of a line of these
great magnets across the entrance to a
harbor several miles at sea, and mag
etizing them through cables from
the shore at short notice. They could
be sunk to the bottom of the sea and
would act just as efficiently under wat
er as on land.
For instance, take the entrance to
New York harbor. The chart here, as
you see, shows that the channel is
very narrow, and that is one great ad-
vantage. If we should take a few old
cannon barrels and make magnets Of
them, like Colonel Kings, they could be
dropped in line across the channel a

there around Sandy Hook, connecting
them each with a powerful battery on
