feel certain of this" Thus said Sena-
tor Edward Murphy, Jr., to Anthony
n. Brady and number Of friends.

"It is my purpose to devote my time

three speeches in Georgia for the state
and national ticket, but the time nee

trip from Lincoln to Chicago" said q
Chicago reporter the other day. They
even, submitted their copy to him be-
fore filing it. The representative of
the New York Sur received a. tele-.

Cay says: "a man. went, into q. local
lawyers Office to borrow $1,000, Of
fering as security q mortgage on S10,-
900 property. The lender demanded
that the words payable in.gold' be in
serted in the mortgage. The borrower
said he did not object. After the
mortgage was drafted the lender drew
up check for $4,000. The borrower
scanned it, handing it back, demanded
thatit be made payable in gold, saying,
since he was obliged to pay back in
gold, he thought it justice that he
should be paid in gold. The lender
said his banker would not cash the
check in gold, whereupon he tore up
his mortgage and the lender tore up
his check. The deal could not be
made. The borrower had no difficulty,
however, in getting So, 900 on a SIC, 900

- 1t is not at all unlikely that COM
bination ticket will be put in the field
by the Republicans, National Gold
Democrats and Populists, says dis.
patch from Indianapolis, Ind. The
executive committee of the National
Democracy is in receipt of PROPOSE
VlOuS lOOhluS w euio Cu0 hotb ]hio-
bama, Texas and Florida, and is very
much inclined to look upon them with
favor. The leaders of these parties
in the south have not yet discussed
matters of detail in the proposed fusion,
but it is probable that if it is carried
out they will fuse on the state tickets
as nearly as possible in proportion to
the strength that each one possesses
and that electoral tickets will be made
of men pledged to vote against Bryan
and Sewall. In all three of the states
mentioned the Populists have declined
to enter into fusion with the Demo
Gratis.

Augusta Chronicle writes as follows

York says that it is currently reported
there that the Republicans and the
sound money Democrats are raising
the greatest campaign fund that was
ever known in the history Of the
world. The price that wealthy Ro-
mans used to pay to the armies for the
imperial crown was but baubls to
the enormous sum which Colonel Mark
Hanna is raising. They say that he
