Teller For Bryan.

Senator Teller has written letter to
MIR. Bryan, congratulating him and the
country on his nomination which ne says
was more than satisfactory to me. II
think we shall be able to consolidate all
the friends of free silver in your sup
port. and if we do this believe You Will
be elected, although ] do not overlook
the tremendous power that vii be put
against us in this campaign.
.'All the power of money and organ
lied wealth corporations and monopo-
lies of all kinds will be against us. JUS
tice is on our side, and this is the cause
of the people. 1t is a contest for IN
dustrial independence and for freedom
from the domination of foreign powers
and foreign capitalists. and it does not
seem possible that in such contest be-
fore the American people that justice
should fail and wrong prevail. do not
believe we shall fail.
IL think can promise you the cor
dial support of the western silver men
who have heretofore acted with the Re-
publican party.

From the Toronto, (Ont.) World
Great Britain need no longer lose any
sleep over the threats of Americans.
They carry within themselves germs of
self-destruction. The republic is honey
eombed with pestilencial microbes. The
nation that is i'm cold blood debating
whethea or not it will pay its just OBJ
legations, is pretty far advanced in de-
cline. While the demand of the silver
ties may be turned aside this time, we
may rest assured that the horse-thief
party will keep at it until they have
consummated the villiany they have in
view. Let us no longer lose any sleep
over the threats of the United States.
They are themselves on the verge OF dis
truction. Within 20 years we may see
the octopus split up into two, or even
three republics, and then there will be
so much fighting between themselves
that they will have no desire to twist the
lions tail or infusiate the Canadian
beaver.

What They are Like.

Persons not familiar with travel on
the transcontinental lines do not
understand what the tourist cars are
really like. Those in use on the
Great Northern Railway are built on
the same plan as the regular sleepers
but have not the same ornate finish.
They have however, similar berths
and bedding, toilet accessories and
competent porters. In addition
there is a complete kitchen range
with ample facilities for its use, and
an adjustable table for each section.
The Great Northern Railway runs
these cars daily from st. Paul to

the building having been borne by
them, at cost of 1882 for the build

lures costing about $3.50 more. This

w. f. Odell OF Des Moines, attorney
for Iowa Deposit and Loan Company,
arrived in Cresco, Saturday, for the
purpose of stitfening the vertebra of
John McHugh. Somehow the impress
ion has got out that Johns accumu-
lation OF property is SO mixed with
that of other persons that John
had to do something, and he confessed
before the arrival of Odell, by trans
fer OF all his worldly possessions to
his wife and daughter. The proba-
bilities are that not one dollar of what
he had was honestly obtained, hence
as he could not retain what was not
his, he made the transfer to battle
those who might rightfully claim it.
Another link in the chain of fraud that
has marked his checkered career
from the cradle to the grave. The
wrongful possessor of others thous-
ands, he will make exit from life with
the fact self confessed in this trans
action in view OF pending complica-
lions and disclosures. Such fence
for stolen property is not usually sue
cessful and will not be in this, the
purchasers having had notice that
there were other claimants.
