Two Sets of Bryan Electors.

A sensation developed yesterday in Bos-
ton at the meeting of the committee ap-
pointed by the Faneuil Hall democratic
convention on September 26 to nominate
the balance of the state ticket after the
nomination of George Fred Williams to be
candidate for governor had been accom-
plished. This committee met at democratic
state headquarters. They had not been in
session long when Mr.. BOardman Hall, rep
resenting Mr.. Williams, appeared and
asked that the committee substitute for the
electors at-large nominated at Faneuil Hall
those nominated by the Music Hall con-
vention, in order that the vote for Bryan
and SewaIl might not be divided. After the
proposition had been r 'eived John II. Sui
livan for the committte said that the COM
mittee had no right to withdraw any can
didates nominated by the convention. "If
the nominees see fit to withdraw they can
do SO, and if any vacancies should be found
we shall see that they are filled.
II cannot see what the committee to fill
the vacancies would do about substituting
the electors -at-large of the Music Hall con-
vention in the vacancies If the electors-at-
large on the Faneuil Hall ticket should re-
sign" The ticket of the Faneuil Hall con-
vention was filed with the secretary of
state yesterday.
After the ticket is filed there are seventy
two hours given under the law for the
withdrawal Of candidates from the ticket,
and if the candidates desire to do so, they
can have their names withdrawn from the
ticket.

CONNECTICUT TOWN ELECTIONS
said 10 Indicate 10000 Mckinley
MntOritN Next Month,

IoWn elections were held all over the
state OF Connecticut yesterday, excepting
at Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport An
sonia, Derby and Naugatuck and the re-
suits show a decided gain in republican
strength, and it is believed TO De an index
to the greater political battle which will
be waged at the polls four weeks from to-
day, and the extreme satisfaction with ;he
result expressed by Lieutenant Governor
Cooke, the republican gubernatorial nom
inee, found a reiteration at the headcuar-
ters OF the republican state central com
mlttee where il was stated last night that
Mckinley and Hobart would ge. upward
of 10000 majority at the November election
Though yesterdays elections present
many local issues, which com2licates the
efforts to arrive at intelligent idea of
the leading parties strength, in the few
towns that had both gold and silver dem
ocrauc tickets in the field the gold men
were greatly in the majority. The wealth
er conditions were decidedly unfavorable
for a large vote, but the leaders of bot h
parties realized that upon the result of
the elections an estimate for the proba ole
majority in Connecticut in November would
be formed, and an effort was ma lie in al
most every town to get out the fullest pos
Slble vote

4 DEMOCRATIC OHIO COUNTY.
FaImcr Who Attribute Their Hard
Times to Gold Standard.
l,ecial Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
NEWARK, Ohio, October 3. 1896
Licking county is the largest wool-pro-
dUcing county in Ohio, but its glory is
rapidly departing. 1t gave Mr.. Cleveland
and free trade majority of 1,5d0. and thus
is largely responsible for the present con-
dition of its affairs. From a woo, product
of S93. 400 pounds il has come down TO less
than half of that amount and wor.f. half
per pound, making d reduction in dollars
and cents of ~ per cent. As each sheep
eats a bushel and a naf of corn a year,
the reduction of ~ per cent in the sheep
means a like shrinkage in the consump-
tion of corn. AS the sheep raiser usually
bought this corn of his neighbor farmer,
the effect on the corn planter is noticeable.
The experience of the past four years has
taught the farmers of Licking county
something about protection to home in
dustries. and l found several of them who
We're willing to return to the McKinley
tariff. But L found others who attribute
the low price of wool to :he high price of
gold,' and they will try free silver TO
bring gold down and put wool up. There
are 800 popuiists in Licking county who
voted for the man who scared the citizens
of Washington into a spasm two years
ago. / mean Mr.. CoNey. These reformers
will vote for Mr.. Bryan for President,
and there are $3.50 more of them in Ohio
who will do the same thing. 1t IS this
populist vote that makes the situation in
Ohio interesting this year. 1t relieves it
of that one-sidedness which 1t would other
wise have. The assessed value OF property
in Licking county is about $30.0oo,op0, more
than half Of which is on farm lands The
county was originally settled by people
from North and South Carolina
Maryland and Virginia and to this
is probably due its uniformly demo-
cratic sentiments. There is not likely to
be any change in irs vote :his year. Some
prominent democrats are working fer Nc
Kinley, and others are for Palmer. but
t.ese "flors'' will be offset py the silver
republicans. If some one coul1 convince
the farmers of Licking that the price of
wool is due to the effects of foreign COM
petition rather than to the high price of
gold. the county could be male safely re-
publican.

TWO OHIO COUNTIES.
strong Sound Money Sentiment in
Belmont and Guernsey.

-sbeAmOnt ana Guernaey.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
CAMBRIDGE. Ohio. October 4. 1896.
have just finished a careful canvass of
Belmont and Guernsey counties, Ohio, dur
Ing which have interviewed a number of
farmers in the country stores and have
talked with the tradesmen in the smaller
towns, with view of getting an impartial
view of the political situation in this sec
tion Of the state. Both of these counties are
republican by from 1,5OO to 1900 plur ality,
and, while they comprise rich agricultural
country, they depend largely on manufac-
turing industries attracted here by the
proximity of coal mines In Belmont county
there is one of the oldest and largest settle
ments of Quakers in the country, and while
they are divided on the tariff issue, they
are almost unanimously for the gold stand
ard. They are holding their annual confer
ence at Barnesville, and l had an oppor-
tunity to get an expression from many Of
them on the subject.
The only appreciable detection from the
republican ranks is among the farmers.
and the movement is not as extensive with
them AS l expected to find it from the re-
ports in circulation.
On the other hand, the local bank Off
Gals and the managers of the manufacture
ing concerns, many of whom have hereto
fcre been democrats, are now almost solid
for sound money, and, in some instances,
ale doing the most effective campaign
work. In Guernsey county the president OF
the Central National Bank and two promi-
nent attorneys, all of whom have been life
long democrats. are doing active work oil

HYPNOTIsTs RESPONSIBLE.
Must Pay for Damage Caused h,
Their Subfecfa

If the ruling Of Judge Foute of Atlanta,
Ga, holds, hypnotists will have to be very
careful what they order their subjects to
do. The judge holds that the hypnot,st is
directly respor sible for the acts of his sub
jects.
During a performance at a local theater
the subject of hypnotist imagined he was
a monkey. He grabbed hat from a man
in the audience and bit piece out of it.
The professor and his business manager
declined to make good the cost of the hat.
and the hypnotist was prosecuted before
Judge Foute upon a charge of malicious
mischief.
The judge sustained the charge and bound
