There is not a labor paper in the
United States supporting Mckinley.
The farmers of Iowa and Nebraska
will not allow gold standard sportsmen
to shoot prairie chickens on their
premises.
A canvass of the compositors en-
ployed by the goldbug newspapers of
Chicago resulted as follows: For Nc
Kinley, 2; for Bryan, 6S3.
So far as can be learned there is but
one agricultural paper in the United
States supporting Mckinley, and that
journal was recently purchased out
right by the Mark Hanna corruption
fund.
A poll of the employees Of the Illinois
Steel company resulted as follows:
Bryan, 2,2l7; Mckinley, 237. 1t is pre-
dicted that Mckinley will not get 100
votes from these workmen on Novem-
Der 3.
Philip Armour started to make apoll
of his employees, but he quit after hear
ing the result from one of his houses.
He had an Australian ballot booth
erected and the vote was perfectly
fair. The vote resulted: Mckinley,
1926; Bryan, 675.
The Chicago newspapers state that a
poll Of the Elgin Watch company
showed the following result: McKin.
ley, sol; Bryan, 8. The poll was taken
by the superintendent and foremen
An actual vote taken with great care
by fellow workmen in whom the men
had confidence gave the following re-
suit: Bryan, 4S6; Mckinley, 244; un
decided, 10.

Items of News Regarding the Progress
of the National Campaign.
The demand for country newspa-
pers and daily papers published in
small cities and towns throughout the
democratic headquarters is something
marvellous. Gov. Altgeld expresses
entire confidence that Bryan and the
entire democratic state ticket will
carry Illinois by a rousing majority
The farmers throughout the state, he
says, are almost unit for silver.
They ride 90 and 30 miles to hear free
silver orator, and the enthusiasm Is
intense.
Beside the laboring man and the la
Dor organizations and the regular
democratic vote in Chicago there are
over 100 silver republican clubs, en-
bracing q total membership In Chicago
OF between $4,000 and 20, 900, all pledged
to Bryan and free silver. This, with
$4,000 populist votes, which are a unit
for Bryan, will undoubtedly carry this
city for Bryan and free silver by an
overwhelming majority.
In the Twelfth ward alone there is a
silver republican club of 326 members,
every one of whom has heretofore been
a lifelong republican. This club
holds nightly meetings and the MEM
bership is increasing daily.

Chinese physician named Sun Vat Sen,
belonging In Hong Kong as he was
passing the Chinese embassy on Oct.

detained in the embassy ever since.
In explanation of this act, the Globe
says that i'm November, 1895, con-
spiracy was formed to depcse the Tar
tar dynasty in China. beginning with
the seizure of the Viceroy at Canton.
For this purpose 400 coolies were i'm
ported into Canton from Kong Kong.
The existence of the conspiracy leaked
out and the authorities seized AMI he
headed fifteen of the leaders, but The
others managed to make their escape,
among them Sun Vat Sen, who went
to America, passed through that cOun-
try and finally came to England and
has since been i'm London. ACCORDING Z
to the Globe, friends of the kidnapped
man say that a ship has already been
chartered by the Chinese embassy to
take him back to China. The British
authorities are noweriass 20 rescue the
man from the embassy, as the law does

Peru, Ind, Oct. 22.-This morning at

The first stop was at Decatur. at S.0j

was very marked.
At Market. small number heard him
and at Huntington. he addressed
gathering of 1000 for ten minutes. The

Now, my friends, this Is a business

can defend by quotations from the most
prominent Republicans of the country. |

are simply declaring that that bimeta!l-
ism which the Republican party of ls9.
declared was good for the American peo-
pie Is good for them in 1896 aeo. (Great
cheering) Now, my friends, the Republi-
can party holds out the dcluSive hope
of International b!metallism and yet the
candid Republican papers OF your state
tell you that so far as International BIZ
nctallsm is concerned ii Is an impoSsi-
bility. | believe that one of them said 1t

character of Katherine, in Shakes
peare's charming comedy. flaming the
Shrew." Miss Rehan will be supported
by Augustin Daly's company, and the
production will be given in the same
sumptuous manner as at his New York
theater. Miss Rehan is a consummate
artistic. She can finger delicately and
harmonously every key in the gamut
of comedy from the eXuberant farce to
the tender and lovely Shakespcarean
idyls. Several American actresses still
living have won applause but she Is
easily without peer as a versatile por-
trayer of Rosalind, Viola. Katherine.
Julia and Lady Teazle. Mr.. DAILY will
come to Scranton to personally direct
the production. The sale of seats has
been enormous and one of the largest
and most brilliant audiences that has
ever assembled in Scranton can be safe

with much grace, poetic feeling and
dramatic force" The Press: I'VE see
in James Young fitting successor to
our great American tragedian." The
Star: "a face speaking with intelli-
gence, large expressive eyes. a graceful
figure and rich voice joined with rare

to be given for specified Republican gain.
1t has been found impossible to buy

is to be tampered with. Our information
