crowded from sunrise to sunset with
speakers and their listeners; that the
silver men haye hired halls which are
kept open continuously, and ia when
argument aud controversy never
cease; that the farmers pay for their
own mtTsic and demonstrations ana
find their enthusiasm only spurred by
the poverty OF the Democratic com
mittecs and the display of wealth made
by MIR Mark Hanna. We do not under
stand these things here at the East,
They are outside of our experience.
We sit calmly in our luxurious homes
and do not even distautly imagine tine

upruar of the agitation beyond the AL
leghenjes The situation exists, how
ever. as we have described it. The bat
tie RACES with gigantic tumult Party
lines are broken down. Presidents
90 for nothing. We have no past upon
hich to base am argument for to-day.
What we know is that the Mckinley
managers are not struggling like men
who feel confident of the result, but
rather like warriors who know that the
issue hangs upon the merest chance.
How. then, and upon what grounds
does the Herald base its complacent
appropriation of Indiana, Illinois, and
Kentucky? Upon the observation of
its bright young men" sent out from
the metropolis? Great Scott!
1T seems to us that the tone of our
Eastern contemporaries has undergone
a curious change Within the past two
months. Then it was a tone of ridicule.
Then we heard of ''Llittle Willie" and
the "Boy Orator." and so on. Now
we hear liar" thief" ''conspirator,
''incendiary," and such things. Hard
ly day passes but some great me-
itropolitan daily" tells us of a Western
State which six weeks ago seemed
doubtful but is now quite SAFE There
has been a "revulsion of feeling" etc.
Yet. when we look back over the files
of those great metropolitan dailies, we
find that six weeks ago they had
claimed the States in question and
pooh-poohed the bare idea of their be-
ING doubtful. Finally, to come back to
the Herald, we see this foaming cham
pion of Mckinley, which at the outset
of the campaign predicted an over
whelming defeat for the "Popocralts' -
an uprising of the common people
against their would1be betrayers-we
see the Herald electing Mckinley on
an estimate, electing him by bare
scratch, and depending upon Indiana,
Illinois, Maryland, Kentucky, and
Delaware to make its forecast good!
Certainly the fight grows hotter and
more perplexing every day.

The loss, therefore, of either Illinois
or Indiana would defeat Mckinley.
The loss of Kentucky and Delaware
would defeat him. The loss of Ken
lucky and Maryland would defeat
him. And it is a significant fact that
in these five States, especially in
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Mary
land, the Republicans are spending
time, effort and money with a species
of desperation that argues anything
but confidence on their part. The
Herald aiIily assigns all five to Nc
KinIey, but does Mr.. Hanna feel sure
about it? Is he willing to accept the
Herald's Canvass" and turn his ener-
gies elsewhere? We think not 1t is
impossible to imagine, at This distance
from the scene of the real struggle
the excitement, the .ceaseless endeavor,
the overwhelming interest that prevail
in the Middle Western States. Those
who read the local newspapers, the
county organs, throughout Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois, realize that the peo-
ple are aroused TO an extent unpar-
alleled in the history of the country
since 1861. They know that men meet
and discuss the issue in every town,
hamlet and rural neighborhood; that
the streets of the smaller cibies arc

Washington, Oct 6.-(Special) MIR.
J. Earl Wagner, President of the Wash
ington Baseball Club, whose home is
in Philadelphia, is an ardent Repub-
hcaR, who earnestly hopes to see Maj
Mckinley elected, but who is not of
the number who regard the election as
already settled.
II ain firmly of the opinion" said
he last night to a Post reporter, that
the Republican party will have the
fight of its life to win. The man who
says Maj. Mckinley has a walkover
does not understand the situation.
Over in my State there are many Re-
publicans who are predicting that
Pennsylvania will go for Mckinley by
10000 majority. This is absurd. He
will carry the State, but the party may
consider itself lucky if its majority
reaches $4,000. / have never known a
political year when the workingmen
seemed so thoroughly united upon one
man as they are now upon Bryan.
find this particularly true in the city
of Philadelphia Bryan is a strong
candidate, and / confess that | am by
no means sanguine of the Presidential
result in November
Ex-President Harrison was here to-
day. He said the outlook for Mckinley
was favorable, but added that in one or
two Western States, which appear
pivotal, the results were somewhat un-
certain, and there must be unceasing,
vigorous work on the part of the Re-
publicans in order to insure success.
The swagger and confidence displayed
by Republicans few weeks ago has
gone. They realize THAT they have lost
with the people. They hope that
Doodle will buy the pivotal States.
Otherwise they realize that they are
gone.

its edition of Sunday, the 4th of Oc-

Washington Notes.

SECRETARY BOWLING OF the National
League of Republican Clubs, whose head
quarters are at Chicago, is in Washington
on league business. His position gives him
excellent facilities for knowing the trend Of
sentiment among the rank and file of repub-
licans, and he says that nearly ali the re-
quests for political literature, which are
now being received from every section OF
the country at the league headquarters, ask
for tariff speeches and say that the most i'm
portant question of the campaign will be
protection. He says that comparatively
few requests are received for financial lit
erature. One Of Mr.. Dowling's objects in
visiting Washington is to arrange for sup
ply Of congressional speeches for distribu-
ton,
The last appropriation bill is now fare
the house and will probably be passed this
week. Then the house will only have to
act on the senate amendments to those ap-
preparation bills which have not yet been
finally disposed of before being ready for
adjournment. Republicans in the house
have no fear of Senator Germans threat
that the present congress will be arraigned
on the stump as do-nothng body. In
fact they hope the democrats will make such
an attempt. The record of the present
house has never been excelled for business
like procedure, and the more the demo
Gratis say about the failure OF congress to re-.
lieve the treasury, the more creditable will
appear the action of the house in promptly
passing the revenue tariff bill that failed
in the 81 nate.

Congressional Proceedings.

SATURDAY, April 1S.-The debate on the
bond resolution proct eded in the senate,
Mr. Hill continuing his speech in opposi-
ton. An exciting episode occurred con-
corning Pacific railroad affairs. Mr.. Gear,
chairman of the Pacific railroad committee,
presented bill proposing an adjustment of
the railroad debt. This led Mr. Allen of
Nebraska to criticise the committee for al
legged Partially to" Coils p. Huntington
and his lobby" A bitter personal alterca-
ton between Messrs. Gear and Allen fol.
lowed, durilg which Mr. Allen declared
that Mr.. Gear had uttered a falsehood con-
corning General Weaver of Iowa. Mr..
Hoar called Mr.. Allen to order and de-
manded that his words be taken down. Mr..
Allen was obliged to take his seat, but on q
motion of Mr.. Faulkner was allowed to pro-
coed in order. - In the house, Mr.. Can
non OF Illinois reported the general def
cheney appropriation bill, and gave notice
that he would ask the house to consider 1t
at the earliest practicable moment The
afternoon was devoted to eulogies upon the
late General Cogswell, representative from
the sixth Massachusetts district The ora
tors were Messrs. Moody, Walker, Morse,
Draper, Gillett of Massachusetts, Hender-
son OF Iowa, Dockery of Missouri and
Tucker of Virginia. Those outside the
Massachusetts delegation who spoke were
iimpelled to do 80 by their personal affection
for dead comrade, and what they said was
marked by an earnestness and a depth OF
feeling which was very impressive.

has already advanced the price twenty per
cent, and since April 8 not an order has
been booked at the old quotation. 1t is
proposed to limit the output to 400 900 dozens

try's demand. None of the plants in the
trust will be permitted to increase its out
put, and should one sell more than it manu-
features, the privilege OF placing the order
must be purchased from the trust.
