Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, in
speech at Sioux Falls on Monday night,
said he would give Mckinley full support
in demonstrating that the trouble of the
country was the result of improper tariff
legislation rather than bad financial policy,
but he wanted it understood that he would
oppose every section of tariff bill that
provided for duty on any article con-
trolled by trust. Mr.. Pettigrew is a
Republican, but he is standing on good
Democratic ground on the tariff.

Keep Up Your Organisations.

We would suggest to the Democratic
clubs of Carroll to keep up their organiza-
tions
Another important campaign will be on
next year, and there is nothing that so
contributes to success as club organizations.
Through the means of clubs registration
can be looked after, and closer union Of
Democrats can be maintained.
Keep up your clubs. Send to the AID
vocArE list of officers, so that there can
be official communication to clubs when
ever necessary. Send in lists at once.

A Out Instead of a Raise.

AUBURN, Me-, Nov. 5th.-Notices to the
effect that if Mckinley were elected employees
of the Asa Cusbman Shoe Manufacturing
Company would get more work and better
wages were posted in the shops several days
before election. Today the vampers wages
were reduced from eight to six cents a case,
and the best men who have been earning
SLIGO, will now average Sl.20 day.
This work paid from fifteen cents to twenty
cents case four years ago, and today's cut
OF twenty-five per cent. is very discouraging to
the men.

If only the white vote is considered,
Maryland went for Bryan on the Sd by

the state, except Garrett, went for Bryan,
and but for the colored vote he would have
been elected by large electoral and pop

The battleship Texas was sunk in the mud
alongside one Of the docks at the Brooklyn
