The report again comes from Atlanta
that the Populist national committee will
request Mr.. Watson to withdraw from
the Vice-Presidential race; but, as the
Georgia candidate is not of the withdraw
ing kind. nothing will come from the
movement. Besides, it is too late for ii
change to be made now. Had both
Messrs. Sewall and Watson withdrawn
some months ago. Il man might have been
selected as the Vice Presidential candi-
date upon whom Democrats, Populists
and silver Republicans could have united
with the best results. Mr.. Bryan is,
however, comparatively sure of election,
and his running mates will have to look
out for themselves.

ELECTION ESTIMATES.


can Congressional committee, says this
election is going to be a..landslde. He
has been West, he, says,ssand knows the
sentiment there. :, Mckinley, he--asserts,
! will not carry the country by any small
figure, but by an overwhelming majority.
-While Republicans Mt Washington are
thus whistling to keep up their courage
here is what comes from Democratic
headquarters at Chicago
The condition of the canvass of the so,
called doubtful States shows 'substan-
tial basis for the confidence expressed by
Chairman Jones that the election of Mr..
Bryan is now assured. Reports this
week from the alleged doubtful States of
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota
are all favorable. "Thess Democratic COM
mittee of Michigan" they say, " are as
confident that Bryan will carry Michigan
as that Colorado and Texas will cast
their electoral votes for Bryan. In Min
nesota the Democrats now speak with
confidence in majority for both Lind
and Bryan. In Asahana the conditions
are constantly approving, and the last
poll of the StatE shows, giving all the
doubtful votee for Mckinley, that Bryan
is safe to Garry the Stately 30,0OO.n
The Claim of Governor Altgeld chat
Bryan will sweep Illinois by,,a tremendous
majority is borne out by the recent re-
ports from the State committee and the
Cook county committee. Outside of Cook
county the defections from the .Republi-
cans have been great, land there have been
but few losses to the Democrats SufIi-
cient accessions have been received, in
the opinion of Chairman Hinrchsen and
Governor Altgeld, to warrant the-claim
that Bryan will come to Cook county
with large majority In Chicago it is
claimed that Bryan will get %, 000'out of
the 10000 votes cast by organized labor,
as every reputable labor organization in
the city is supporting him.
There is now complete fusion between
the Populists and Democrats The Pop-
ulists cast 80 900 votes in Chicago two
years ago. and there are at least 2j, 900 Re-
publicans in Chicago enrolled to-day III
Bryan clubs. No one places the detection
of gold Democrats above 10000. The
Scandinavians are coming over to-the
Bryan standard by the thousands, while
there is a noticeable change THE ranks
OF the German voters during the past two
weeks, and the probability"nis that Mr..
Bryan will receive very large proper
ton of that vote.
The Republican managers are trying to
d TT attention from Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Michigan, where their case is
hopeless, to States like Nebraska and
Kansas, which they now claim ARE in
doubt and turning to Mckinley while as
a matter of fact the Democratic and.free
silver polls show that both Kansas and
Nebraska will give Bryan majorities OF
not less than 25, 900 in the latter and 40
600 in the former
Chairman Jones and the Democratic
national managers feel greatly encour
| aged over the outlook, and confidently
assert that Bryan will be elected by an
! overwhelming majority of the electoral
| vote in November.

AKRON, Ohio, March 3O.-At late
hour last night a masked man entered
the farm house of Alvin NJ. Stone, near
Talmsdge, . few miles from this city.
and in q brief space of half an hour
committed . horrible butchery. When
he took his departure Stone and his
wife. both aged people, were lying
dead in bed, horribly mutilated. and
Ira Stiilson, the hired man, and Emma
Stone, the eldest of three daughters,
were unconscious from blows dealt ~
the murderer.
The murderer entered the house
by means Of ladder, which he raised
to an upstairs window. He hrst
passed through the room in which
Hattie and Flora Stone were sleeping
without awakening them. Going
quietly downstairs to the room in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Stone slept he at
tackled them with q blunt weapon OF
some sort, hitting both upon the head.
They were probably rendered uncor-
scious and possibly killed by the
blows, but the fiend, not satisfied with
that, proceeded to mutilate their
bodies with q knife. he cut of one
of Stones ears. slashed him across the
face and stabbed him in the back.
Then he laid Mrs. Stones cheek open
with the knife.
After satisfying his fiendish desires
downstairs, he proceeded to the room
of Stillson, upstairs. The hired man
heard the intruder apparently, for he
had arisen, when he was dealt stun
ming blow on the head. Next the muir
IL oft n
Stone. who slept in q room by herself.
screamed. That awakened the other
girls. who slept across the hall.
Hattie Stone arose to go to her SIS
ter's assistance, but as she entered the
Iatters room she was felied to the
floor by blow on the head. but for
tunately was not rendered uncon-
scious. Regaining her feet she ran to
her own room and locked the door.
Throwing bedquilt about her she
leaped from the window and ran
through the rain and mud to the
nearest neighbours quarter OF q
mile away. After he had struck
Hattie down the murderer returned to
Emma's room and struck her on the
head, leaving her unconscious. Then
ne CrlcQ the OOOr 10 the room III winch
Hattie had left her youngest sister,
Flora. when she jumped from the
window. Finding the door locked; he
battered it down. Finding only Flora
in the room. he asked where the other
girl was. When told that she had
gone for help, he hastily left the
house and made his escape.
Hattie, with the blood streaming
from the wound in her head. managed
to reach the neighbours house, told her
story and then tainted. After she had
been put to bed, the neighbor, calling
for help, went to the Stone house.
There the evidences of the butchery
were discovered. The only person in
the house who was able to speak was
Flora Stone, aged 16, and she was
badly frightened. For this reason all
she could tell was that the man who
the crime wore mask over
his face.
The crime is mystery. There is
no possible motive for the murders so
far as can be learned. Certainly the
was not bent on robbery,
for in a bureau drawer in Mr. Stones
room were two gold watches and some
and nothing had been taken.
