A Large Majority.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-If the national cleo
tion were to be held tomorrow, says
the Democratic managers, Illinois
would give William j. Bryan and Jno.
p. Altgeld over $4,000 majority. At
the present rate the majority may
reach 100000 by November 3D.. These
figures were gathered by 1900 Demo-
cratic voters under the direction of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
Every county in the State has been
heard from and in two-thirds of the
counties every school district has been
polled. Unless the shrewdest Demo
crats are at fault, Illinois can no longer
be classified among the doubtful States;
the Legislature will be Democratic this
year; majority of Illinois represents
tives in Congress will be Democratic
and Senator John Nj. Palmer will be
succeeded in the United States Senate
by Democrat.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 7.-Governor
Matthews Of Indiana has written the
Richmond State as follows regarding
the political situation in his state: SIN
reply to yours Of the 30th ult.. which
have just read, / am glad TO say that
after quite an extended canvass OF the
state have no doubt of the result.
Bryan will carry Indiana by tremen-
dous majority. Our people, especially
in the country districts, are thoroughly
aroused TO the Importance of the issue
My advices lead me to believe that Illi
nois will be for Bryan and Ohio may be
put In the doubtful list. Well informed
gentlemen from Kentucky feel satisfied
that Kentucky win return to the ole
faith in the Democratic column again

UntangIing Themselves.

After the November election there
will be lots o. fun watching the fusion
lists OF Idaho, untangling themselves
one from the other. Some of them will
be In hard knot.
You see, they are tied up In this style;
Democrats with Populists; Democrats
with Silver Republicans and Democrats
straight. Populists with Democrats;
Populists with Silver Republicans and
Populists straight. Silver Republicans
with Democrats; Silver Republicans
with Populists; Silver Republicans
with Mckinley Republicans and Silver
Republicans straight. Mckinley Re-
publicans with Silver Republicans and
Mckinley Republicans straight. Pro-
hibitionists straight.
This is the status Of the political sit
nation In the different counties of the
State. In such mixture there can be
no party organizations and the bes'
thing for the average voter to do is e
select his men and vote according I,
the dictates of his conscience and hi
best judgement.

Lazy Joe and the Reservation.

Lazy Joe, our Indian spokesman, sat
on Quantrell's lumber pile Wednesday
afternoon as sedate-looking and contem-

ruins OF Carthage.
THE NEWS devil thought he was in

eloped with another buck, and ap-
preached him TO learn Of his heartaches

"what's the matter Joe?" asked the
devil, "You heap sick?"
"Kai,n was the monosyllabic answer.
"Your squaw run away with another

favor it?"

"But you see, added the devil. "if YOU
take your 40 acres in severalty you will
have farm of your own,
A cat and a cow.

And You must work for your bread
Or perish stone dead"
Then Joe awoke from his dreamy con
temptations. "Work for bread,n arous

eloquence of his tribe and said:
"Me want no little bitty farm, m,
want the range. Me want the noun

treaty.
"Hope for Indians will bid the worlt
