A proposition has been made to the
Republican national committee that
every whistle in the machine shops
factories and mills of Republican towns
be footed early on the morning Of
November Sd, to call the voters to the
polls. There won't be any need to adj
wise the blowing of whistles and toot-
ing of horns after the returns are in
that night.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Don't Read il. Mr.. SewaiI.
On. Y. Press

Mr.. Tuggeridge-Coxe of Thackeray-
an creation and humorous fame. whose
wife dressed him up in medieval toys
for her feet sham peter. is stadly
congruous spectacle compared with Mr..
Arthur Sewall in the tawdry trappings
OF cart-tail grandiloquence in which
the partner of his political joys and
sorrows has invested him.
This thing that Mr.. Bryan has done.
probably in the course of his trip to
Maine, is cruel thing Nor does it in
the least degree excuse him that Mr..
Sewall signed his letter of acceptance
without looking at it. Mr. Sewall
trusted Mr.. Bryan as implicitly as did
Mr.. Tuggeridge-CoXe trust Mrs Tug
geridge-Coxe. And Mr.. Bryan has
made glorious guy of him.
If Mr.. Sewall has not already read
his letter, we earnestly advise him not
to do so. He is, and he we'll knows
himself to be, respectable Down East
banker and shipowner, with safe full
OF gold freight contracts and United
states bonds-tO all of which he has
the high moral, legal and equitable
title either of descent or purchase. The
sight of that self ranting in the news
papers about arrogant money chang
ers, the monopoly of the power of
gold and our assault upon these in
trenchments" would be more likely to
induce hurried call for the services of
the family doctor than any other cause
short of strike of the $1.25 men in
the shipyard-that we can think Of
Gentlemen of Mr.. Sewall's age and
habit cannot face such shocks with
impunity,
