Chief Interest in the Election There
is in the Sheriff

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-Reports from
all over Pennsylvania are to the effect
that the finest kind of election weather
prevaiIs-clear, cool and bracing, and
that a very heavy vote came out in the
morning hours. In this city the princi-
pal interest centers in the fight for the
sherif's office between the rival Repub-
Hcan factions. The administration can
didate is Samuel H. Ashbridge, and the
anita dnainisrrati ton faction is repre-
scented by Alexander Grow. The latter
is supported by the Democrats. Crow
is developing unexpected strength in
wards claimed by the Ashbridge leaders
and the early indications point to his
election if the ratio Of votes in his favor
continues until the polls close.

With pouted lips, "Just one, she said

Then how she laughed-the dainty sprite-
And srnoothed my seowling browi

And yet twas better far I'm sure,
Than if our lips had met,
For in remern hrance viii endure

A Churn That Churns in One
Minute.

1 have been in the dairy bushes IS
all my life and have many times
charmed for an hour before butter
would appear, so when ! heard of a
cnurn that would churn in a minute
/ concluded to try it. Every day for
week l used it, and not only could
chnrn in a minute, but L got more and
better butter than with the common
churn. This is very important infor-
nation to butter makers. The churn
works easily, and will churn an ordi-
nary churning in less than 60 seconds.
| have sold two dozen of these churns
in the past month. Every butter
maker that has seen me churn in less
than minute has bought one. You
can obtain al desired information re-
garding the churn by addressing j. f.
Casey Il Co., St. Louis, and they will
give you prompt and courteous atten-
lion. A DAIRY MAN.

Speaking OF the burning of the
Burns factory, Mr.. Bryan said: "No
political reason can excuse an attack
on person or property" and the Cour-
ier-Journal demonstrates its mate
meanuess by all unmanley and mean
criticism. How does it know that
some of Mr.. Bryan's supporters applied
the torch. Men bold to stand tor their
rights are not sneak thieves who re-
sorts TO arson as an avenging method.
We have as just license to say Burns
was party to the burning. That it
was to counteract the enthusiasm for
Bryan, to confirm their charges of an
archv, and that from Hanna's cam

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage says dur
ing the last six Presidential campaigns
he has been urged to enter the politi
cal arena. He insists that such work is
not included in his call to the minis
try.
This statement was followed by a
reference to the depression now pre-
vailing throughout the country, and
he said that never within his memory
had $50 many people literally starved
to death as in the past few months"
He believed the country was better of
after every crisis, and that the AL
mighty would settle the coatrversy of

Col. A. II. Wood was in Louisville
last week. aud the first thing ne knew
after talking to very bright young
fellow was when a Commercial had
been handed him and he found that
he had been interviewed. s
The Col. was eXtravagant about the
boilers here. He had said that the
bushes were fu of them, when the
fact is when Winchester was here he
began talking in the Opera House to
81 boilers and Republicans, Winches-
ter being one of the boilers. He had
also said that threats had been made
to howl Breckenridge down should be
attempt to speak, and that, when no
man had ever been treated disrespect-
fully here That reporter had alsomade
it appear that the Col. wanted to bet
that five Republicans could be found
in the county who would vote for
Bryan. We know the Col. makes
some. far away guesses, but that
slick newspaper reporter got it in
padded little too heavy for him,
we have no doubt. After this when
a stranger approaches Col. Wood he
may be on his guard.

One OF the statements of the Repub-
lican party, echoed by the Mckinley
Aid Society is this: In the event OF
bimetallism our gold would go &c
England. For arguments sake adj
nit it, and let's see what would follow
Our gold then would, as a necessity,
produce gold imitation; with initiation
follows high prices and with high pri-
ces, our exporters would become the
benefciaries. We to, as soon as mon
ey could return, would have a greater
volume which would likewise increase
prices here and the benefits to us
would be both from exports and home
markets. We are credited with $500
100000 of gold and history is proof
that, with this volume added to an
other country's initiation would follow
bringing with it favorable results.
We have no foreboding on account of
an increase or money, neither do we
believe that alone the United States
would live long under bimetallism
should she declare for it. 1t was Mr..
Whitney who said that other foreign
countrie', except England are ready
for bimetallsm and that she is will
ling to consider il. If Mr.. Whitney is
authority--we believe with a great
country like ours in the initiatory in
such movement--an International
agreement would follow, and that we
would have an expression before the
Fourth of March next. Not because
England or our own dear Wall Street
really wanted it, but because the mon
ey powers of the world would not be
able to Withstand the people of the
world. Latter day shouters for inter-
national agreement are not sincere.
Scratch them and you will find them
yellow underneath.

Remembering that Congress has
the power to coin money and regulate
the value thereof, it is important that
Democrats send to Congress men who
are in favor of Democratic system of
finance. which will be for the best in
terest of the greatest number of our
people, and which will, we trust, DO
violence to man or corporation of men,
who seek by industry, economy and
honest dealing to make an honest liv-
ing. as they strive to develop the great
resources of our country. 1t would
be difficult to enact laws which would
please all men in all professions and
enterprises. In this campaign the
issue of paramount Importance is the
financial Issue. Is the single gold
standard to be continued, or is bimet-
allsm to be restored If the truth
h been told by individual Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, if the press of
the country has set forth the real con-
dition of the people, there is need of
some change in money matters. 1t
is difficult, if not impossible, to legis-
lale meanness and dishonesty out of
men who If able will uot pay their just
debts but laws can be enacted which
will affect the financial condition of
men, who desire to do unto others as
they would have others do to them.
We favor such laws as will give to
silver the same powers attributed to |
gold. We propose to help send to
Congress from this district. Thos. Y
Fitzpatrick, who will vote for the free
aud unlimited coinage of silver on
with gold.
Democrats, now is thestime to be up
and doing. If Democrats will 60 the
polls, Thos. Y. Fitzpatrick will be our
next Congressman, and tie electoral
vote of Ky. will be cast for VIM. j.
Bryan for President of the United
States, country able to dictate its
own financial policy without the aid
or consent of other nations.
