The Popular Vote.

We give below the total vote re-
ceiyed by the two leading candidates
This is not the complete official vote
as several states will not be heard
from for sonc weeks yet but little
change will be made in these figures
by the official returns from them.
Mr.. Bryan's vote will probably be
increased by the addition of the
Bryan and Watson vote, while to the
total will be added some 100000
votes, representing the Prohibition,
Socialist, and scattering vote. The
total vote will not vary much from
13,500,000, or an increase from the
vote of 1892 of 100000 The vote
given the two leading candidates
was as follows:
William Mckinley 6,954, 842
William J. Bryan 6,358,423
McKinley's majority 500, 419
This majority does not reach the
figures claimed by the Republicans
and goldites Immediately after cleo
ton, when nothing less than mil
lion or a million and half would
satisfy them. Mr.. Bryan receives
801, sos votes more than Mr.. Cleve-
land got in 1892; he carries It's of
the 447 electorrl votes; he carries %
of the As states, with one divided
and % for Mckinley; he carries 13
of the old southern states and 8 of
the northern. A change of less than
$4,000 votes in seven states. every
one of which the Democrats would
have carried had it not been for in
timidation, money and the treachery
of the boltocrats, would have given
Mr.. Bryan 224 electoral votes, the
number necessary to eject.
With such a showing of strength,
and against such tremendous and
unparalleled plutocratic odds as con
fronted the Democratic party-rep-
resenting colossal political trust
made up of corporations and monop-
olies-we think no Democrat should
be discouraged by the political stu
alton. They were defeated by the
skillful handling of the negro and
the foreign vote, and it is admitted
carried for Bryan large majority
of the native born white voters of the
United States. This Is the ruling
element of American politics, and if
it misses fire sometimes is sure tc
win in the end. And it will win on
the free silver issue, which is nc
more dead than was the slavery is
sue in 1852, when both the Wing and
Democratic parties went into the
presidential contest with the decla.

eliminated from American politics

Friday evening, l had the pleasure of
preaching to an audience which completely
filled the building, many being compelled
to stand. Several were at the altar, seek
ing salvation. At the Quarterly Con-
ference held preceding the service, the re-
ports were of most gratifying character
showing excellent work upon the part of
pastor and people. The new church is
nearing completion. 1t is beautiful
structure, seating over 300, and will be
dedicated soon after Conference.
OnSunday evening the house was again
crowded, not only the pews being filled
but many sat upon the floor, and stood
in the aisles during the entire service.
The altar was filled with penitents cry
ing for mercy. Bro. Budd, the popular
pastor, is abundant in labors, and in
defatigable in pushing forward the various
enterprises of the church. This new stat
ion has made wonderful growth in the last
three years, and is destined to become one
of our best charges.
Bro. Harding is pushing the work on
Charlestown circuit and is confident of
victory. He il universally esteemed for
his spotless christian character and excellent
preaching ability. At this time he is
holding extra services at Charlestown,
with good prospects. Notwithstanding
the hard times the circuit Will make a
creditaple showing when the general roll
is called,
was kindly entertained on this trip by
Bro. j. A. Boyd, ex-Sheriff of Cecil county
who placed himself and team at my dis
posal; he lives about half mile from
Perryville. At Principle; where the con
ference for Charlestown circuit was held.
| was entertained at the hospitable man
sion of Sister Mary Whitaker, who is a
devoted and consistent member of our
Church at that place. Went home with
Bro. Harding to dinner on Sunday, and in
the afternoon preached at Charlestown.
Excellent music was rendered by three
brethren from Principle, who came with
violin, claronette, and cornet. Miss
Florence Harding, daughter of the pastor
who is a skillful performer and fine singer
presided at the organ. In the evening. at
Perryville, went home with Mr.. Arthur
Owens, and at his pleasant home had q
good nights rest, after hard days work.

Seems as il consumption always picks ont
the brightest and best. Fully one-sixth OF
all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. Many things
were once considered impossible 1t would
be strange if medical science did not make
some progress. The telegraph and tele-
phone, the monograph, the electric light
all were once impossible, and once it
was impossible to cure consumption That
was before the time of DR.. Pierce's Medi-
cal Discovery. Taken according to direc-
tions this standard remedy will cure %
per cent. of all cases of consumption. Con-
sumption is caused and fostered by i'm T.,
purity in the blood. 1t is cured by purity
and richness in the blood-surely, certainly
cured by the "Medical Discovery" 1t

strength.

proviso which became the central article in
the creed of the Free Soil party of 1885
and of the Republican party which was
formed in the latter year. George W. Julian.
OF Indiana the only Free Soil leader still
alive, and Charles Allen, of Massachu-
sets. This little band of ant.slaveryites
did grand work for the cause Of freedom in
that Congress. Chase's speech against the
compromise OF 1850 was the most notable
male on that side in the Senate except that
OF the Wing Seward, the 'higher law than
the Constitution" speech, which called out
as many cries of "treason!' from the South
as Patrick Henry's Caesar. CHARLES I-George
Ill speech did from the loyalists in the
Virginia Legislature.
The handful of men on DR.. Townshend's
side impressed themselves powerfully on
the affairs of their time. The 10000 votes
in New York by Birney's Liberty party in
1914 as protest against Henry Clay's
campaign surrender to the slavery interest
beat Clay for the Presidency by taking
enough votes from him in that State, which
was pivotal in that year rs often since
to give the State to James X. Polk and the
Democracy. Four years later the Charm
burners element of the Free Sellers turned
the scale in the same State against the
Democrats and gave the Wings the Presi-
dency. The anti-slavery men of the pre-.
Republican days did not win many polti-
cal prizes for themselves, hut they exerted
powerful influence on politics Much Of
what they lacked in numbers they made up
in courage, resourcefulness and persistence
Most of their leaders. except Gd,liuus,
Hale, Julian and few others who served
in Congress, were unknown to the great
masses OF the people even during the days
OF their activity, yet they left their mark
on history.-St. Louis Globe. D.moclat.

OBSCURE MEN WHO MAKE
HISTORY.

DIR. n. :. Townshend who has Just died
in Ohio, and who is dismissed with two or
three lines by the few papers outside of his
State who mentioned his death at all, was
a man who helped to make history without
making himself known to any considerable
number of his fellow-countrymen. In the
Ohio Legislature of 1919, which had a
Senator to elect, there were just two Free
Soil members, Of whom DR.. Townshend
. was one, and those two dictated the choice
OF the Senator. They were enabled to do
this because the Wings and Democrats in
the Legislature were so nearly tied that
these two votes held the balance. The two
Free Sellers, making better terms with the
Democrats than they could with the Wings,
helped the Democrats in their plans, in
eturn for the Democratic vote for Salmon
p. Chase, then Free Soil leader This
election started Chase on his national
career.
Chase's election at that time was partio-
II arly opportune both for Chase himself
and for the anti-slavery cause. His entrance
into the Senate in 1S49 was welcome
reinforcement to John p. Hale, Of New
Ham pshire, the solitary Free Soiler in that
body, who went in two years earlier than
Chase. In the House of 1849 81 the Free
Sellers had ten or twelve representatives,
among them being Joshua Il. Gddings and
J. M. Rott, of Chase's State; David Wilmot,
Of Pennsylvania, the author Of the famous
