TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1896.

Germany seems to be quite anxious
to get into a muss with Great Bet
ain, no doubt thinking that Russia
and France would be opposed to Great
Britain on account of her opposition
in the Turkish adjustment. Now that
France and Russia stand with Great
Britain to force Turkey to more de-
cent attitude in the treatment of the
Cretans and Armenia, Germany may
wish that the studied insult that was
given to Great Britain at Zanzibar
had been put on ice until it cooled.
John Bull is bad man to fool with
when the peace of Europe depends
upon keeping him in good, everyday
hnmOr. :

The state candidates for Missouri
on the Republican ticket have reach
ed st. Louis on their rounds, and
after a vigorous canvass of three
weeks and using every means in their
power to correctly size up the situa-
ton, they report as absolutely with
out foundation the reports that there
have, been large defections from the
Republican ranks. Lewis, Republi-
can candidate for governor. has hosts
of friends among the free silverites
who would not mourn to see him
elected. .,-

New York calculations put Ken
lucky safely into the Republican cleo
etoral column, but only by a narrow
margin. The sound money Democrats
in that state put the figures for Nc
Kinley at least 10000 more than the
Republican managers count there.
This is at least gratifying, for it
shows that the figures given out by the
Republicans, are not extravaganza and
promise to be fully justified.

There is not a great deal of spread

TOO BIG A JOB.

We have more silver in our

mints of all the other great ma.

they have long since stopped ad.
ding silver to their currency.
The value of Silver has dDlin-

production has more than doub

and its relative value has droA ped

There is only one way TO cure the
itch for notoriety that some would be
party leaders of the Republican per-
suasion in Texas have so bad that
they are a nuisance to society, and
that would be TO shut them up in a
bolted room with a cactus plant and
let them scratch it out. Mullatto Nc
Donald is of this stripe, and should not
be mentioned. He only itches for
notoriety and is the most VIGOROUSLY
no count politician of the dark stripe
that the state is afflicted with. Suct
men should not be referred to, even
to show their worthlessness.

Straw votes were taken all last
week at the Illinois state fair, and
one vote for Mckinley over Bryan.
Saturday the free silverites endeay-
Ored to roll up vote and snow ur-
der the sound money men, but could
only muster $50 for the 1,472 cast for
Mckinley. If this is all that the far
mers can do where is Bryan to get
his votes.

Assurance is given upon the repu-
triton of some of the greatest Repub-'
lican cappaigners in North Dakota,
that state is not in the doubtful col
umn. Editor Jewell, of the Bismarck
Tribune, says that the state is going
to go for Mckinley and that he knows
it. He says that so confident is he
that the state will go Republican
that he will wager any reasonable
amount ON the result, also that he
has money to lrage amount put in
his hands for that purpose. North
Dakota is not big state it is true,

Hill does not offer any excuse for
dropping Bryan, but when he says

The air, and he knew it all, so quit
there is no use of looking farther.
Bryan will not be up so high in the
air after his balloon bursts early in
November. Neither will he be the
first gas bag rider that has lately come
to grief.

The New York betting ring will is
sue its declarations from time TO time
as to the probable outcome Of the
votes in the several states. There has
been little change for the past week,
the odds and even money offered on
Mckinley aggregating more than four
sevenths of the total vote in the cleo
etoral college. This places the Nc
Kinley vote as 275 and the daily re-
turns Justify the estimates.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
FOR CONGRESS-.

Being satisfied that at each recur-
fling election the people are more and
more outspoken in favor Of non-par-
tizan judiciary, and that the judicial
officers should not come in contact
with the strife and contention Of polit-
ical parties, we hereby submit our
name to the voters Of Bexar county,
Texas, irrespective OF party nominal
tons and make our announcement as a
candidate for the office Of county Judge
at the ensuing November election.

Bryan says that he knows little
about the banking business. SO do
the people and they do not intend to
bank on Bryan. Bryan had on de.
post in busted bank the sum of
$T3.06 and the bank held his paper
for $1,000 and holds it yet. Bryan
has the money and the, bank the ex-
perience. 1t would be the same way
if he is elected president, but lie will
not be.

Il cOuld not have a better

There Is not so much talk of Bryan
carrying the northwest with a whoop
as there was a month ago. 1t is now
conceded that the situation in Indiana
is past remedying for him, and that
it is not much better in Illinois. With
these states and Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Minnesota in the Mckinley
column, salt would not save Bryan.
There are not enough states left to
elect. unless he should carry New
York, orSPennsylvania, or Ohio, or
some>of the New England states. 1t
is not Bryan's game.
