From the Fort Smith Times Democrat
The more the nomination of BRYAN
and Sewall is looked at from the various
points of view, the more does it appear
that destiny had q hand in shaping it,.
Bryan is the ideal free silver Democrat
full measure, 10 to / not shade or
wrinkle to mar the perfection of his
completeness. He can walk the craggy
cliffs of the mountain tops and battle in
the sunlight of American glory wrapped
in ribbons of rainbows, he can descend
with steady step to the low grounds of
honely sorrow, where the hungering
babe cries itself to sleep on its mother s
shrivelling breast. But Bryan S words
are not chosen for the ear, they are not
chosen at all-they come of their own
bidding TO carry conviction to those who
hear. Bryan S mouth is pre- eminently
Il John the Baptist mouth, and the
gospel 1t breaches and the spirit it
teaches is undefiled Democracy. A
better choice than Bryan could not have
been made-not in a Thousand years.
But how about Sewall2 1t was the
hand of destiny that reached away down
among the masts and yards of Maine
and picked out Arthur Sewall the rich
ship builder. Democracy is born of
Justice and equality-not of poverty and
suffering Democracy is not product
of western winds and southern climates.
Democracy does not wither by nature
on the shores of the east. Democracy
is not incompatible with wealth.
Arthur Sewall is the man of all men to
illustrate that Democracy thrives east
as well us west, that it grows 10 robust
ness in wealth as well as poverty that
the fitness of Democracy TO the needs of
the people in every part of this country
is recognized in every part of it az a
truth and not fiction. Ii may be hard
for rich man to get to heaven, but he
can get there with both feet il he is the
right kind of a Democrat. Arthur
Sewall is one. He is the man through
whom the slanderers who say that
Democracy is sectional, that Democracy
is anarchistic, that Democracy feeds
upon jealousy, hate and revenge. may
be refuted, smitten, parslyzed with
the lies in their mouth.

that Mckinley can carry the state. The
normal Republican majority is about
81. 600. That is the safe natural
Republican majority. There are about
80 600 Populist votes and 30 900

First Gun for Bryan and Sewall.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Aug. 4.-The
only question now concerning the
Alabama election is the size of the
Democratic majority. This is not fully
known yet, but the general estimate is
now SO 900. The Democrats will also
have, it is thought, two thirds of the
Legislature.
Incomplete returns from about half
the counties show that Johnston
certainly carried five counties that were
Populist two years ago, while six others
of the same class are so close as to
require the official count to decide.
The Democrats have not lost a county
so far as heard from, but Birmingham
is close.
The lowest estimated majority is 35.

leaders in Birmingham are beginning to
cry fraud claiming that thousands of
fictitious votes were cast in the black
belt and they threaten that if Goodwin
is not elected they will organize the
Populists Of the state against Bryan and
carry Alabama for Mckinley in
November. Nothing like official
returns can be had from the counties
until Saturday, when the official count
will be made by the Returning Boards
of the various counties, but there is no
doubt that this is the greatest Demo
cratic victory in state politics since 1890.

reports of complete Democratic
victory with surprisingly large gains.
The count in the big counties has been
slow, especially in the cities, but
official and estimated returns, the latter
based on reports received from a
majority of the boxes in the counties
reporting, show that Johnston and the
Democrats have certainly carried forty
five out of sixty six counties. Goodwin,
Populist, has fifteen counties. Six
others have either not been heard from
or are too close to be figured upon. Of
the last named, Johnston probably has
four and Goodwin two. 1t is believed
that the complete returns will sshow a

By the Transit which ar
rived on the 4th inst, we
received 100 Jewel stoves
and ranges lone large car
load direct from the factory
at Detroit.
This is our third shipment,
and we find that we have
only 4 stoves left from our
previous lot.
The excellence of these
stoves has already been
proved by the large sale, but
we will name three points:
First. Long lie from the
heavy high grade of iron
which is the same in the SI2
stove as in the $50 range.
Second. Economy in the
use of fuel.
Third Quick and even
bakers.
We propose leasing these
stoves on the following
terms:
When the stove is deliver
ed one-third of the price is
paid in cash, and the balance
monthly thereafter in five
equal payments.
If before the expiration OF
the five n onths, the lessee
wishes to pay off The balance
he will be entitled to a dis
count of five per cent. on the
amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy
outright, he gets five psi
cent. discount on the whole
amount.
Jewel stoves and ranges
can be had only of US.

FUNERAL OF A DOG.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.-Dr Amelia
V. Flentje lost her Skye. terrier Roy
Thursday, and as she was very much
attached to the dog, she decided that it
should have a funeral. She had the
dog embalmed, and all day Friday and
Saturday the remains lay in state in
her parlor. The coffin was made by
his mistress own hands, and was two
feet long by one wide. 1t was covered
with white goods, was trimmed with
ribbon and rested on a pedestal at the
foot Of which was a vase filled with
roses. The dogs head rested upon a
pillow of white crepon, edged with lace
and surrounded by flowers.
Crowds visited the place until the
lady was compelled to shut the door
The funeral took place yesterday after
noon. The remains were inferred near
Baltimore Cemetery, and a tom bstone
will mark the dogs resting place.

SERIOUS DAMAGES.
That is What Subsequent Reports Say
of the GaeIic's Accident Recently.
viii be Put on the Dry Dock al Yokohama
May Not be Here For
Some Time.

A brief inspection OF the hull of the
S. S. Gaelic as she now lies in the dock
at Tategami would conclusively show,
even to those with absoiu- ely no knowl-
edge of ship construction, that the
damages done to the vessel are far
more serious than previously reported,
says the Shipping List of the 31st ult.
Upon the starboard side, from her
bows to spot under the stoke hole,
the plates are more or less bent and
damaged, while in several places they
have been smashed in. Upon the port
side there is little damage visible, with
the exception of a rev started rivets
and an ugly looking dent just beneath
the boiler space. Roughly speaking,
about forty plates, nine frames ana
three bulkheads will require renewal
or repairs, and it may be accepted as
settled that the vessel will have to go
TO Hong Kong for these to be executed,
after being temporarily patched up
here Altogether the damage extends
from the vessels bow for about $50
feet aft, and the huge indentations in
the plates, on the starboard side es-
pecially, bear witness to the splendid
riveting work done by the builders,
Messrs Harland & Woolf. 1t appears
that at the point at which the impact
with the rocks was most severe num-
Der of bags of coffee with heavy general
cargo slowed on top of them acLed as
species of buffer, and took Off con-
siderable amount of strain 1fom the
frames; otherwise the damage would
have probably been much greaLer.
When the vessel first struck, the
mainstay, a heavy wire rope, was car
ried away. The reason for this was not
apparent at the time, as the heel OF the
mainmast was not shifted in any way.
1t now appears probable that when the
keel of the vessel near the boiler space
was struck the jar caused the mast to
jerk violently and thus carried away
the stay.
Just as the Gaelic was going into the
dock on Friday last she touched the
ground towards the south side of the
entrance. What caused this we do not
know, but we understand that the ship
was in the hands of the captain at the
time. Mr.. Grove, the dock master, had
just seen the Kokura Maru out and was
| going on board the Gaelic as she
grounded. Of course she was soon of
again, but had she stuck upon the sill
| of the dock the probability is that she
would have broken her back. The re-
| pairs to be executed here are not ex-
| pected to occupy more than few days
or week at most.-Japan Gaze.,e

Soldiers and Sailors

EDITOR HERALD: l request you to pub
lish this as favor and for a worthy cause.
At present there are on shore in these
United States 900 of eX-United States
seamen that served in our late civil war.
There is no home for the disabled mem
bers among them, but there are several
homes for the old soldiers, and our ex-sea-
men may go to these soldiers homes if
they wish. Now the army and navy of
any nation is entirely different in training
and discipline, and it is absurd to mix old
soldiers and sailors together. Why not set
aside one of these homes for the use of the
seam en- of our late volunteer navy? In all
nations seamen have separate homes.
I: 1t is not just to ask an ex-seaman to enter
a soldiers home, as by the terms required
of him he must submit to military disci.
pline and military rules, all of which are
entirely foreign to his former discipline.
Seamen should have home to themselves
and it should be governed by retired naval
officers with naval rules in force. l have
addressed letters to several members of
congress, requesting them to bring the
matter before the house of representatives.
have heard from the Hon. James G. Ma
puire and Hon. James McLachlan, mem
bers of congress, and they' promised to
bring the matter before the house. have
also written to Senator Perkins and the
secretary of the navy on this subject.

WAS He A COUN|ERFE|TER?
SHOT HIMSELF IN HIS CABIN, FEARING
HE WAS DISCOVERED
Ed Booth or Stanton Commits Suicide in
Lonely Hut-CrucibIes and Acids Found
Which Indicate That II Was Counter
feiter's Rendezvous

Coroner Campbell returned yesterday
from Ell Monte. where he held an inquest
on the body of the man who was found
dead in cabin near that place Friday
evening with bullet in his brain. From
all appearances it was case of suicide,
and one under most peculiar circumstan-
ces. The name of the deceased was Ed
Booth, or Stanton, and he had lived in the
house where found. alone, for nearly a
year. Booth came TO Ell Monte, a year
ago last September, and for some time
did odd jobs for the Cummings boys, now
under sentence of death for the murder of
L. G. Narramore. Last Saturday, while
Booth was away from his cabin at the
Cummings house, some one broke into
and robbed it of various articles.
He did not discover his loss until
Wednesday, when he told several parties
that the thieves had taken some papers
that should they fall into proper hands
would cause him trouble. Friday morning
he again visited the Cummings house and
while there secured the revolver with which
he took his life. He left note stating
that the gun belonged to West Cummings
and that he wished it to be returned to
him.
A diary was found by the coroner in
which was written the name of Edwin
Stanton and also various names of chemi-
Gals used in dissolving metals as well as
list of metals used by counterfeiters. This
was regarded AS suspicious and the sheriff
was notified. Deputies Martin Aguirre and
Guy Barnhill made a thorough search of
the cabin and found in one corner a cru
chile such as is used to melt metals and
several graduates used to measure and
