(New York Journal.)

Arkansas has answered Vermont. a
Republican majority of forty thousand
in the Green Mountains is met by Il
Democratic majority of 10000 on the
Mississippi.
OF course. the Republican managers
have tried to explain away this defeat.
as the Democratic leaders tried TO ex
plain away their own in Vermont. But
one Is as significant us the other Yer
mont showed that Bryan and Scwall
could look for no votes In Northern
New England. and Maine will doubt
less repeat the same lesson even more
impressively next week. Arkansas has
proved that Mckinley can count on no
votes in the South. Following the sim
liar Democratic victory in Alabama, It
puts the solidity of the South beyond
reasonable question. Thus the battle
ground has become contracted. Instead
of the whole Union OF doubtful States
that seemed To confront us after the
Chicago Convention, the arena I'm which
the contest is now to be fought to n
finish has shrunk to the Central West,
with side ring I'm New York and it's

1t Is pity that the struggle has taken
so sectional turn. 1t would have been
well If the Democratic vote had been
smaller in Arkansas ana larger in Yer

pretend that the verdict of one of those

Governor Jenkins carried about $780,
900 of the States money to New York,
where he deposited 1t to pay the public
debt. He also carried the great seal OF
the State with him, and returned 1t after
the Democrats had regained control OF
affairs.
1t was trying ordeal, but the Govern
or and Treasurer Jones made the best Of
1t. and their conduct was heartily en-
dorsed by the people.
Governor Kruger made a very conser-

was glad enough when the newly elected

General returned to his military duties
and his abilities steadily advanced

That right of silver, stolen from the
people while thep slept, and so stolen
to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer, should in justice be restored.
and he is sadly mistaken or a scoundrel
who opposes such restoration.
For the first time at st. Louis, Mo-,
the Republican party, under the lash of
Wall street, this year resolved in favor
of the present gold standard, going back
on their Minneapolis plank of 1892. Lit
tie did we think at Jackson, in 1854,
when we saw the Republican party born
and christened, and started on it's grand
and humane course, that it would be-
come SO wretchedly demoralized in 1896
that it would have to go to st. Louis

it. and therefore did not go, and so am
supporting the Republican financial BIZ

They were lamentably wrong in their
st. Louis effort to take care of the ricn
and leave the toiling, needy common
people to sink into want and suffering.
Hence my opposition to them, and may

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
A Letter from One of the Godfathers Of
the Republican Party.

The following very interesting cor
respondence has been handed to The
Herald for publications:
PASADENA, Cal, Sept. Is, 1896.
Hon. Albert Williams, Ionia, Mich
Although 1 am thousands of miles away
from my old stamping ground yet the
good news comes to me that my Old
friend, Albert Williams, has again put
on his arnor ana is in battle array on
the side of peace, prosperity and hap
pines3 of the American people, and
against the moneyed autocrats who have
10, these many years slowly but surely
absorbed the wealth of the country,
and are now trying to rivet the chains
of a single gold standard upon the ma
ton for years to come, and thus accom-
plish the financial enslavement of the
people.
When you and I were younger, AL
bert, we believed in the financial prin-
pies then advocated by John Sher-
man, Thad Stevens, and scores of other
prominent Republicans, and as prac-
cally the same issue is now before the
people, it does my very soul good to
learn that as you believed then, so you
do now. And is it not fitting that one
who first assisted in holding the first
Republican flag to the breeze under the
old oaks at Jackson" should again,
when these same principles are in dam
ger from far more powerful foe, stand
by the same old flag when it is in dam
ger from the Shylocks who have grown
rich at the expense of the people?
This is a crisis in the principles of self
government of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people, and woe unto
the people unless that power comes
back into their own hands.
l had long since given up the idea
that the people were capable of self gov
eminent, as 1 have seen the encroach-
ment of the money power gaining their
hold on public sentiment year by year
through party ties and false issues;
but the downtrodden have at last real
lied their situation. and the same patri-
otism that aroused our forefathers in
1776 and again in 1861, is alive today,
and if the people succeed in their eman-
cipation from those who have grown
fat and arrogant by robbing the people,

Nrs. Fannie Wylie Attempts Suicide on
the Day of Her Husbands Funeral.
She Will Probably Recover.

When Mrs. Fannie Wylie, or Fannie
Mcbride. made the remark at the cor

husband or lover last Wednesday night
that she would soon follow him to the
grave, she evidently meant what she
said. Yesterday morning little after

On the witness stand at the coroner's
inquest upon Wylie's body the womdH
gave her name under oath as Fannie
Mcbride, and upon being asked the di-
rect question as to whether or not she
had ever been legally married to Wy
lie replied that she had not, although
che had lived with him for three years.
Il is now claimed by Mrs. Leonhardt,
at whose residence at 451 Los Angeles
street the woman has been stopping,
that in her trunk Mrs. Mcbride or Wy
lie has papers which prove her to be the
lawfully welded wife of the suicide.
Since Wylie's death Tuesday night in
the Hotel Louise, Mrs. Wylie has been
distraught with grief. She has been
stopping with Mrs Leonhardt at night
and the latter has been doing every
thing in her power to cheer and comfort
the despairing woman. On Friday Mrs.
Wylie showed to Mrs. Leonhardt the
empty morphine bottle found under
Wyles bed, and made the remark,
"This bottle sealed my darling's lips,
and shall seal mine" 1t is supposed
that she had the bottle refilled, and yes

alarmed and asked her If che had taken

answer, but asked permission to lie

suffering woman for a reply. Finally.
after begging her not to leave her. but
to stay with her till she died, Mrs. wy

both Mckinley and Bryan, who avoid

He then launched into the question of

He showed how IL to IL a great moral

were working over the unconscious

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS

Here is another patient who for years
had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold
seemed to stay longer than former colds,
and he noticed that his ears stopped up
and his hearing became duller and duller
and there was ringing and buzzing
noises in his ears. The catarrh had
passed upward and backward from the
throat along the eustachian tube lead
ing from the throat into the ear. He had
visited doctors without relief In this
condition we find him inhaling the
neverfailing medicine and soon he no
tees a change. The noises in the ears
stop, there is no more discharge, the
hearing gets better, and finally the tubes
of the ears open up and something seems
to give way in his head. His hearing has
completely returned. No wonder he con-
siders the result q marvel
