BRABSTER MEST,S LETTER.

Prospects are Good Tor Bryan, But Doodle
Will Have to tie Fought
We refOrmers in Washington are
pestered with jocular inquiries from
gOldbugs and cuckoos as to our
choice for Vice President. They
wish, or affect to wish, to know
whether we favor Sewall or Watson.
Doubtless the venal and ignorant
throughout the country fire the
same inquiry at reformers, and
think that they have pronounced Il
question which is poser. All your
readers should reply as / do, that Il
higher power is running this cam
paign for financial Independence and
the rights of men, and He will take
care of the Vice residential mud
die, while meanwhile all refOrmers,
whether Populists, silver Democrats,
or silver Republicans, will devote
all their time and energy to the cleo
ton of Bryan.
After all, the matter of the Vice
Presidency is comparatively unim-
portant. TO the government, the
presiding officer Of the Senate is
about as important as the fly which
gets into the cab Of an engine is to a
locomotive. Let us elect Bryan
president, which will give us con
troll of the Treasury, the Army, and
the Navy, and we will hold a hand
which will rake in the pot.
The Republicans are badly scared
by the marvellous revivificatiOn of
the spirit of l776. The people have
for so long permitted themselves to
be humbugged, have so long been
content to eat at the swill-barrel
while the usurers and politicians

Must Have It Full.

A well known scientist was walking
along the street when he came across an
itinerant astronomer who was inviting the
passersby TO gaze through his telescope at
the moon at halfpenny time. The
scientist was speculative enough to ven
ture halfpcnny, and on applying his eye
to the instrument was astonished to see a
beautiful picture of a full moon although
at the time the moon was only In her sec
ond quarter
Puzzled by the circumstance, he exam
ined the instrument and found that it was
not a telescope at all, but simply u tube
with a small hole where the eyepiece
should be and a transparent photograph of
full moon with a light behind it at the
other end On the scientist asking the ex-
hibitor how he could so cheat the public
the man simply remarked;
Sits all right, sir People like a lot for
their money nowadays. l used to have a
proper Scope once, but turned it up for
this after Scotchman rowed me for show
ing him only 'arf a moon. This way pays
better and gives more satisfaction. Lon

At the election last Monday in
Alabama, Joseph J. Johnson, the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
was elected by a majority of about
$4,000, which is more than 1900
above the majority received by
Gov. Oates two years ago. The
Republicans and Populists COM
bined on a. Y. Goodwin for Gov
ernor, but they could make no
Roadway against the great Demo-
cratic wave. This is the first state
election since the conventions, and
it is encouraging to Democrats all
over the country. The Populist be-
gan to cry fraud before the polls
were closed, but this sort of a whine
was expected. The Democrats are
stronger than ever in Alabama.
They made large gains in the white
counties, which are the principal
strongholds of the Populist party.
The Democrats also elected about
80 of the 100 members of the House,
and % Of the 80 Senators, in the
State Legislature. More than three
fourths of the Democrats in both
houses are free silver men, and a
Democratic free silver Senator will
be elected to succeed Senator Pugh
in the Senate Of the United States.
Senator Pugh, who has been an
earnest advocate of the free coin
age of silver, will probably succeed
himself
