him at the head of Dawson's educational
system, He was not an applicant for
the superintendency. however, and

MIR. Quay,s confident Prediction.


The following statement was given out
at the Republican national headquarters
in New York Monday, after a conference
of the entire executive committee
"The election of Mckinley and Hobart
is an accomplished and assured fact. They
will receive 270 electoral votes. Bryan
will receive 10, and there are six states
having 67 electoral votes which are doubt
full, but the probabilities all point to the
fact that these 81 votes will go into the
Republican column and be added to the
270 now assured for Mckinley and Hobart.
This is the status today. We have the
election and will hold it. Our present eff
fort in the West is to this end only. The
opposition have abandoned the East"
This statement was signed by Senator
NJ. S. Quay of Pennsylvania. Politicians
who know Mr.. Quay's usual reticence and
conservatism when political contest is on
accept this statement as one founded on
rock-bottom facts. The Senator himself
refused to discuss the subject, or to say
how he had arrived at his conclusions.
His only answer to questions was, "The
figures are Trustworthy, and that is all
have to say at present."

Silver continues TO decline and wheat to
advance. On Tuesday silver fell to GA 5-S,
while wheat, for December delivery, rose
to IS rs, the highest point for a long
time. Since September l silver has de-
clined nearly 2 cents, while wheat has ad-
Vahced 10 3-S cents. This object lesson is
proving so embarrassing to the silver advo-
Gates that they are forced to charge that it
is all the result of manipulation, and that
Mark Hanna is using Republican money
to boom wheat and depress silver. So long
as the price of wheat declined along with
that of silver it was held to be a notable
argument that the change was due not to
an actual decline in the value of silver or
wheat, but to an increase in the value of
gold. That the market prices of these two
commodities " ere ruled by the law of sup
ply and demand is now abundantly DEM
onstrated, as wheat steadily rises in value
while silver falls. They have parted COM
pany, but gold cannot be both rising and
falling at the same time; therefore it is sill
yer and wheat whose values are changing,
measured by the standard, and not the
standard itself that is changing. No Won
der this demonstration embarrasses the
free silver leaders with the election less
than three weeks away.

The Remarkable Scenes in Canton.

The scenes which are being enacted
every day at Canton, Ohio, as they have
been for weeks past, are such as have new
er been witnessed in any previous political
campaign, or upon any other occasion in
this or any other country. Delegations,
often as many as a dozen in number, and
sometimes numbering more than a score in
single day, pour into the little city from
all sections of the country. They throng
the streets, the music of their bands fills
the air, they press about the Mckinley
residence, each is welcomed by a speech,
the individual members of each shake
Maj. McKinley's hand, and then the dele
cation gives way to another, and so on
through the day and through the week,
and week after week.
The most notable visit of all was that of
1000 Confederate veterans who came up
from the Shenandoah valley in Virginia last
Friday. No other delegation has shown so
much enthusiasm, and none has been well
coined with so much heartiness by the peo-
pie of Canton. The Union veterans of
Canton and 300 veterans from Cleveland
joined in giving the men who wore the gray
a royal welcome. Arm in arm they es-
corted the visitors to great public hall,
where dinner was served to them, and then
arm in arm they were escorted to the Nc
Kinley house, where its owner addressed
them with rare tact and appropriateness.
Saturday brought no less than 40 special
train loads. In all there were 30 delegations
re presenting ten different states, and the
number of strangers in the city was more
than 10000. MuraJ Halstead, the veteran
observer of political demonstrations, writes
of that days events that
"There never was upon the earth any
thing comparable with the exalted excite
ment and the demonstrations of personal
and patriotic devotion of the multitudes
overwhelming the city. The
coolest man to be seen was William Nc
Kinley. Though the delegations that call
ed upon him were each sufficient for a
mass-meeting, he had to insist upon
punching some of them, so that he only
gave 20 speeches to the 80 organizations.
The cleverest speeches of the day were
those that were delivered to the swarms of
citizens who came without announcement" !"
In spite of all this excitement and hard
work and the nerve strain which 1t in

to remain and is able TO render such effic-
lent and valuable, service as he has always
rendered.

The death of ex-Gov. Fuller took place

his strength gradually ebbed away. The
end came in perfect peace and quietness.
Levi Knight Fuller was born in West

President Grant at that time offered him
the appointment as a member of the board
of commissioners from the United States,
but realizing that this would interfere with
his proper attention to the business of the

the change. Secretary Carlisle goes home
