Judge Holman, of Indiana, the great
''Objector," is likely to return to the
Fifty fifth Congress. The old district,
which he represented for nearly a quarter
OF a century, has been cut up by redis-
1licting; but Judge Holman has been left
in an overwhelming Democratic district.
1t is said that his nomination will be
made by reclamation; and his election
will probably follow. He WAS very
strong in his old district, and nothing
but the tidal wave of 1894 could have
disturbed him.

Hamilton Fish and Public Works Su-
perintendent Aldridge of New York are
doubtless pondering upon the fickleness
and delusion of political fortune. They
were the two leading candidates for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination in
the Empire state, but they killed off each
other and Frank S. Black was nominated.
This has not ended their i'll fortune. When
Black made his speech in Rochester last
week Mr.. Aldridge, as the leading Repub-
lican of the city, presided. His local enc
mics seem to be numerous and they had
the bad taste to attend this meeting for the
purpose of humiliating him in the pres
ence of Mr.. Black. They hissed and hoot-
ed at him, and even the applause of his
friends could not drown the hostile demon
stration. The case of Mr. Fish is even
more deplorable. His own assembly dis
trict has turned him down. Defeated for
the gubernatorial nomination, he cannot
even continue as speaker of the assembly,
and so, for the time being, at least, he
passes out Of public life. Two picturesque
figures in the Democratic ranks in Massa-
chusetts have fallen by the wayside. Coax
ley has been defeated for nomination for a
legislative term in his Boston ward, and j.
ii. Mellen was beaten in the Worcester
caucus by stenographer. The latter has
been member of the Massachusetts, legis-
lature for the past 10 years. He announces
that he will bolt the caucus and run against
the regular nominee. His opponents
point to the plank in the Chicago platform
against life tenure of cGHSe and then to his
term of 10 consecutive years.

certainty as to how the cityl will go, but
Edward Lauterbach, the gold Democrat,
claims it for sound money.
The managers of the national campaign
regard the election Of Mckinley as assured,
but no efforts will be spared to make Bry-
ans defeat as decisive as possible, and the
fight will be conducted exactly as if Nc
Kinley's defeat were feared. The cleo
ton of Mckinley will carry with it Re-
publican House, but the campaign is be-
ing conducted so as to make the sound
money majority there as large as possible.
A determined effort will also be made to
insure a sound money majority in the SEN
ate, which is the citadel of free silver.
The chief fear of the Republican man
ayers is overconfdence. They dread the
eff acts of that more than the efforts of the
Bryan campaigners. This is the reason
why reports of doubtful nature concern
ing the outlook in some of the western
states find their way into the public press.
They are intended to keep the workers at
work and the purse strings united. Theo-
dore Roosevelt of New York voices the
genei al sentiment when he says: 81 feel
that the only danger we have is overconf-
dence. The belief high and low, is that
we are going to win sweeping victory. If
we strain every nerve think we can make
this belief good, but we must not let up for
a moment. The tide is all our way, but in
the interest of decent government we must
settle this business once for ALL"

The Gold Imports.

Last week the imports of gold amounted
to 81, ,7SS, 900, making The total since the
movement began $42, ,724,550. Other en-
gagements will swell the total TO s47, $780,
500, which is the sum of the present gold
importations, the advance in rates of ex-
change making further shipments to this
country improbable for the time being
The imports come when most needed. They
have restored the treasury reserve to up
wards of $3.50, 100000. They have in a
measure restored confidence and stopped
boarding. 1t is expected, however, that
there will be some boarding this month be-
cause timid people are nervous over the sit
uation, notwithstanding the growing con-
viction that Mckinley will be elected.

The Political Battle Ground.

The battle ground of the campaign is now
in the Central Western and Northwestern
states, especially Illinois and Michigan, and
in Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee. The seaboard states
from Maine to Maryland are believed TO be
safe for Mckinley by overwhelming major
tiles. Work, however, will be continued in
them in order to make assurance doubly
sure, but the best speakers and the most
complete canvass will be in the doubtful
western and southern states, which hold
Il balance of power in this election. In
these states the battle will be very hot
this month. Bryan, abandoning his tours
into "the enemy's country" will now con-
fine his effort to the states where his
voice. and presence will be apt to do the
most good. 1t is noticeable that the lead
ing sound money speakers insist upon be-
ing sent to these places, where they can do
the most effective work. They don't want
to waste their ammunition. This is the
only condition upon which such men as
Harrison and Reed, Cochran and Schurz
will speak at all. General Harrison went
Monday to Virginia and spoke before a
large audience in the evening Cochran
has spoken in West Virginia, and The Re
publican managers have put some of their
very best men into that state. Bryan
spoke to large crowds in West Virginia,
but his tour was really more for the ad-
vantage of the railroads than anything else.
The railroads advertised his meetings and
ran excursion trains with special rates,
and thus attracted large crowds. Bourke
Cockran's speeches in answer to Bryan
and in favor of sound money and the elec-
tion of Mckinley have been printed and
thousands of copies are being distributed
His New York speech is being translated
into Polish and %, 200 copies of it in that
language will be printed.

A light vote was cast at the state cleo
ton in Florida Tuesday and the indica-
tions are that the Democratic ticket will
have majority of not over 10000. The
Democrats, Populists and Republicans had
complete tickets, and the Prohibitionists
a candidate for governor. The Republi-
cans had not taken part in state election
before since 1888, and they elected several
members of the legislature. 1t is thought
that Senator Call will be defeated, but that
his successor will be a silver Democrat.

The hypocritical and malodorous Breck-
enridge seems likely to be resurrected for
second congressional career. Judge Dem
ny, his Republican opponent in the Seventh
Kentucky district, has withdrawn from the
contest, leaving Breckenridge with the
support of the gold-standard voters of both
parties. 1t is a matter of national regret
that Breckenridge's defeat two years ago
did not mean his permanent retirement.
The man, with wife and grown-up chill
dren, who pushed heresy charges against
Presbyterian clergymen who were simply
true to their convictions in refusing to ac-
cept certain tenets of the established faith,
and who was at the same time seducing a
girl at school young enough to be his
daughter, is hardly the model of consist
ency or of morals to grace the national
halls of legislation.

Elections were held Monday in all but
few of the larger towns in Connecticut. The
Republicans made large gains over year
ago, when high-water mark seemed TO have
been reached, the Republicans then having
nearly doubled their list of towns as it
stood in 1898. 1t is estimated by the Re
publican state committee that the result
means that at the November election Nc
Kinley and Hobart will have plurality of
more than 10000. The significance of
these figures is great when one recalls the
fact that Connecticut gave Cleveland over
5000 plurality four years ago.

Bryan will be the worst beaten candidate
who ever ran in this country. "The Eng

them, but they also believe that the cleo

Republican Estimates on the Election

hepubncan Estimates on the EiectlOn'
Republicans throughout the West have
either just completed or are engaged in
taking polls of the various states, and the
figures have been sent to the various state
capitals. Tabulated from the most con-
servative claims, the Republican leaders
declare these states for sound money by
the figures given: Illinois, $1,000; Iowa,
$4,000; Minnesota, 5000; North Dakota,
$500; South Dakota, 10000; Indiana,
$4,000; Kentucky, 5000; Michigan, 4O,-

Figures are not given on Ohio, but the
vote of the state for Mckinley is assured.

The record of September shows it to have
been a month of exceeding moisture in all
parts of New England The weather bu-
reau at Boston reports the total precipita-
tion for September as $40 inches against
an average for 20 years of 3.15 inches. In
the 26 years since the weather bureau be-
gan to keep its record the precipitation of
September, 1896, was exceeded but twice
in September, 1882, when the rainfall was
1923 inches, and in the same month of
1888, when the record was GIT. Even with
this downpour of rain, there was at mid
night, Sept 30, deficiency of precipita-

Der has evidently started in to bring the
average of the year to the proper place.

~ do not pretend to know" was Sena-
tor Teller's reply 10 the question recently
put to him whether in his opinion free
silver act would be followed by panic
Froman, the English bimetallist, who
landed in New York last week, is more
frank. He admitted that free silver meant
a panic in this country. Mr. Bryan, in his
first speeches after his nomination, frankly
said that he thought free-silver triumph
would be followed by business panic, and
he justified inviting such an event by add
ing that "severe diseases call for severe
remedies" But of late, cautioned by his
campaign managers, he has grown careful
about making such a fatal admission.
