Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
TOLEDO, Ohio. September Z, 1896.
Candidate Bryan likes Ohio so well that
he is going to dip into it two or three
times again between now and November
BY election day he will have campaiSned
his rivals state quite thoroughly. Mr.
Bryan thinks there is politics in this work
and some things lend encouragement to his
belief that Ohio may be classed along with
the middle west as missionary ground Tor
free silver 1t would be a leading question
to ask whether Mr.. Bryan really has any
notion that he can carry the state, and no
is not answering leading questions of that
sort.
1t may fairly he said that so far as sur
face indications go there has been no reac-
tion against Bryan and free silver since he
cross ed the state on his way to New York
last month. Then lie made no stop at any
Of the big cities This time he has taken
IN Cleveland, Columbus, Springfield and
Toledo but the way stations have also had
Il chance to see and hear him. and the
gatherings az these places have been quite
as enthusiastic as any that he has SEEN
Mr.. BrydnS interesting personality and
tie curiosity to see him are playing so large
d part in his canvass that 1t is still diff
cult to determine just how much free silver
sentiment is back of all these demonstra-
tions. The crowds which greet him at all
points are un1uestionably as great as any
presidential candidate has ever met. The
addition or subtraction OF a few thousand
people by the partisan newspapers is not
important. Everybody who can do 80
seems 20 turn cut to hear Bryan, and the
crow ds stand and waiI patiently for hours.
Brynn's Cool Head.
Mr.. Bryan is too experienced a cam
Taigner to let himself be carried away by
the demonstrations with which he Is re-
ceived. He knows how largely the ele-
ment of curiosity is mixed up with polti-
cal meetings. Nevertheless, he seems TO
feel there Is more in these Ohio meetings
than in most gatherings of the kind At
Cleveland he expressed himself with good
deal of genuine feeling, and for the first
1iIae talked of the prospect of a popular
uprising landing him in the White House.

can make her child's life happy and success

it by making and keeping herself perfectly

The efforts Of the democratic and popu-
list executive committees in session at
Clarksburg September 3 and 4 to agree on
fusion were futile. After four fruitless
conferences each committee filed out its
state and electoral tickets and decided to
keep in the middle Of the road" I. C.
Ralphsnyder, who was nominated for gov
ernor some weeks ago by the populists,
sent letter to the populist committee,
thanking them for the honor, and stating
that as he was a candidate also before the
democratic convention and was beaten, he
must abide by the result, and declined to
make the race. The declination was ac-
cepted, and Col Nat Fitzgerald of Preston
county was made the nominee for COVER
nor For electors at-large James Basseu
of Upshur and H. l. Houston of Greenbrier
were named. The democrats completed
their electoral ticket by nominating Gen.
j. w. st. Clair Of Fayette county and Sam
uel ". Woods Of Barbour county. The
story is afioat that the withdrawal of
Ralphsnyder was Influenced by an ambition
to some day sit in the United States Sem
ate. He is alleged to be endeavoring to get
himself into the good graces of the demo-

YELLOW FEVER IN Cuba.
A Malignant Type OF the Disease
Playing Havoc With the Spar mia rsis.


Playing Havoc With the Spar in rsis.
Yellow fever in Cuba is increasing and
most malignant type OF that disease is
playing havoc with the Spanish troops.
according to reports received from sanitary
inspectors OF the United States marine
hospital service. These reports show sew
enty-one deaths in Havana for the week
ending August %. fifty-one of these being
in the military hospital, at which 122 new
cases were under treatment: twenty-five
in MatanZas; the same number in Santi-
ago, twenty-five at Sagua la Grande, with
100 new cases. and similar conditions i'm
all other sections where the Spanish forces
are massed. The inspector at Havana. in
a special report, says the fever is badly
epidemic and is increasing among civilians
there. At Santiago Col. Nallerpin of The
Spanish engineers died August -, after an
illness of only forty-eight hours, which the
United States inspector declares is very
unusual in yellow fever. The disease has
also spread to the French island of Mar. in
ique. according to a consular report. Hhe
consular agent at Mazanillo. Cuba, reports
yellow fever there, but says disease sta
tistics are neither published nor recorded
in office there since the revolution broke
out.
