Questions ard Answers.
The Tribune gives the following
questions and answers which we
consider worthy a perusal by our
readers:
Editor Tribune: Having been
a subscriber to your paper for a
number Of years, will you, for the
information of some friends and
myself, answer the following:
l. Do the Presidential electors
go in body from all the States to
the electoral college, or do they
meet and simply send q represen-
tative?
2. Is an electorIobliged to vote
for the candidate be is elected for
or could he switch off?
B. Ii Bryan's name is on the
Democratic and Populi-t tickets
and the Democrats and Populists
run separate tickets, would Bryan
get the benefit of count of both
tickets in such State?
4. Do the electors elect a Presi-
dent and Vice-President on one
ballot or must they first elect the
President and then the Vice Presi-
dent?
5. Or could the Bryan and
Sewall and Bryan and Watson
men join hands and all vote for
either Sewall or Watson? Yours
respectfully. Subscriber.
l. The Presidential electors
meet in their respective States on
the second Monday in January
next following their election, at
such place in each State as the
Legislature shall direct. Their
vote as cast shall be certified and
forwarded to the Secretary of
State at Washington.
2. In honor he is bound to vote
for the candidate he stands for:
but this is q moral obligation of
good faith onl y; under the law he
could vote for any other candidate.
Such a betrayal of the people, how
ever, has never been known, and it
is to be hoped will never be seen.
3. Not if the name on the cleo
toral tickets were different.
4. They ballot first for presi-
dent, then for vice-president.
8. This question evidently con-
templates the election of Bryan
electors whose status on the vice.

HANDCART EXPERIENCE.

tod the fOllOWlng story concerning
the troubles she had passed through
during her absence from the train
She saw some wagon tracks turn
off from the main road and supposed
they would come to the road again
thinking that it was cut off. She
followed those tracks until she lost
her way entirely, and wandered on
until late at night, when she found
some men camped in tent, who
had a number OF horses herding.
They gave her something to eat,
and while she was eating they talked
all manner of meanness and what
they would do with her, until she
was nearly scared to death. They
were drinking and gambling. Fl
nally one young man made signs to
her and got her to go out and he
soon followed her. He put her on
horse with him and rode off with
her quite distance and put her on
a road that led to another camp
where, he told her, she would be
safe, and she would also be mach
nearer the road and also quite a
distance on her journey. She took
his advice and found the place as
described and also kind people who
fed her and kept her until they could
see the train from where they we're
camped and then put heron the
road. Thus the Lord had preserved
her, fed her and returned her safely
to her family. She arrived safely
in Salt Lake City with her family,
and lived principally in that place
until her death, which occurred about
the year 1898, she being over 90
years Of age.
AS we arrived one evening on the
Platte, near Fort Laramie, the cap
tain called a meeting of all the
people and told us our true condition,
that our provisions were very low,
and asked us if we were willing to
90 on half rations. One man rose
up and said he was glad that the
captain had asked this of us, as he
knew the Lord would bless the half
to us and we would feel better than
we would on full rations. But !
knew he had been begging all the
way, for the Captain to give him a
little more -four, and his rations
never lasted from one ration tC
another. and as the Captain had beer
very liberal to him, | was Of the
opinion that he thought this liber.
atty would continue, but he was
mistaken this time. We agreed that
as our provisions were so very shor,
it would be better to make the very
best we could of the little we haC
left. SO at the next days rationin2
we received pint of -four for two
of us instead of one for days ration
and very small amount of bacon
We travled on and came to very
large bed of the kind of cactus gen
orally kown as prickley pear, an(
and we tried many ways to cool
them so we could eat them. Som,
took the last morsel of bacon the,
had, peeled the prickly pears an(
fried them, others peeled and boile(
them, while others placed in the fir,
and roasted them, but all to no pur
pose. Some did eat very little o
them, but it was a failure in general

Bangor, Mich, Oct. 16.-As on yester-
day, William J. Bryan began his speech
making before breakfast this morning,
but it was in the broken light of o'clock
and not in the first peep of day that the
nominee addressed his first audience. His
train lay all night on a gravel siding
seven miles from Grand Rapids and be-
gan it's journeyings again at o'clock.
Muskegon, reached an hour later, was
not in the regular itinerary. but de-
tour to that place was made at the re-
quest of the people there. The members
of Mr.. Bryan's audience, 1000 in number,
gave him some very hearty cheers and
heard a short speech about the silver
question.
Mr.. Bryan found another big crowd at
Holland, where his train arrived at 8
o'clock. Like Muskegon. the little town
had out a brass band. Mr.. Bryan made
another speech, and at Fenville he talked
again.

SIMPLY AS BACK GROUND.
Negroes Allowed to Attend, but Barred
from the Platform.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 16.-The republi-
cans had one of the most unique and in
teresting mass meetings at the theater
here tonight that Savannah has seen In a
long time. 1t was composed of about 500
white and 1000 colored men, both republi-
cans and gold democrats having been in
vited to attend. Prominent business men
occupied the boxes and part of the Or
chestra. There were on the stage only
Maj. J. F. Hanson of Macon, president of
the Bibb Manufacturing company and an
elector-at-large on the republican ticket;
Mr.. W. R. Leaken, leading attorney;
Mr.. T. F. Johnson, prominent republi-
can, and Mr.. Joseph F. Doyle, republican
candidate for congress from the First
Congressional district. The negroes were
given to understand that they were all
right, but were not expected on the stage
or to take prominent part, and they let
the white men do most of the applauding.
Mr.. Leaken introduced Major Hanson
briefly, who made the speech of the even
ing, devoting his attention almost ex-
clusively to the money question from a
republican standpoint. Mr.. Doyle closed
with brief talk.

WIRE TIES.
As Made, They Are Too Stiff, but tho Defect
May Be Remedied.

Charleston, S. c., Oct. 16-Cotton men
throughout the south are familiar with
the war which certain alliances have
waged against what they call the "tie
trust" In South Carolina various wire
ties have been used In place of the old
band, and much trouble has been occa-
stoned thereby between Manager d. p.
Duncan of the Alliance Exchange and the
exporters of this city. The wire used In
many cases was alleged by the exporters
to be far too heavy and stiff to allow of
it's being handled in the congresses.
These complaints were submitted to Mr..
Duncan, and today after conference
with the manager of the Alliance Ex-
change, Mr.. F. w. Schultheiss, a repre-
sentative of the firm that made the wire
ties for the exchange, came to the city to
investigate the matter He was met by
leading exporters and compress men and
a practical demonstration was given of
the difficulty of handling cotton bound
with the wire ties in the congresses.
After witnessing these experiments Mr..
Schulthess said that he would admit
that the complaints against the ties were
justified. He said that the wire used was
far too stiff. He said, however, that he
felt certain that the defect could be reme-
died, and he would advise the company
to make tie that could be cut and
handled to advantage in the congresses
without losing any weight.

OATES AT PRATTVILLE.
The Governor Makes a Strong Speech for
the Chicago Platform and Nominees.

Montgomery, Oct. 16.-(speciaL)-Gov-
ernor Oates delivered practical, vote
catching speech to large audience at
Prattville last night, while Palmer and
Buckner were holding forth here. He
told the people that there was nothing in
the Chicago platform that should render
1t obnoxious to any democrat, and he said
the election of Mckinley would reopen
the tariff question and would leave the
silver question still unsettled, and that
for four years to come both these ques-
tions would agitate the people and injure
the business of the country; that Bry-
ans election would put the silver ques-
tion to test; that IL 1t proved successful
the country would experience a great
blessing and II it was found not to work,
the congress and the president would
hasten to repeal OF modify 1t.
Nothing short of the enactment of a
free silver law will satisfy the people"
said the governor, "and the sooner 1t Is
settled, the better for the country"
He said the bolters had an erroneous
idea of their duty towards the democratic
party, and were making grave mistake.
The speech was good one and vote
maker.

HARMONY GAME TOO LATE
Though They Chartered a Special Train tx
Carry the News.

New Orleans. Oct 16-After everybody
had given up all idea that they would
ever harmonize, the regulars and sugar
planter republicans finally settled their
differences today and chartered a special
train, upon which delegation went to
the state capital to inform the secretary
of state, In order that proper changes
might be made in printing the state bal
lots. The time to. make changes expired
at O'Clock this afternoon. On arriving
at Baton Rouge the reeonciled republican
factions were confronted by an unlocked
for obstacle to their wishes. The secre-
tary of state refused 20 permit the with
drawal of any of the tickets on the
ground that the legal time for such ac-
ton had expired. The delegation, there
fore, could do nothing. This will leave
the two full tickets in the field and lead
to inextricabIe confusion.
Captain Donnelly, chairman of the su-
gar planters campaign committee, says:
"The action of The secretary of state will
help rather than retard the polling of a
big joint republican vote, for the people
will now see that the Foster state gov
ernment wants to steal our votes"
The courts will be resorted to in the
morning, SO both factions say.

Inc t'uneral Services OF the Late Arch
bishop of Canterbury.
London, Oct. 16.-The funeral services
over the body of the Most Rev. Edward
White Benson, archbishop of Canterbury
and primate of all England, who was
stricken with appoplexy during the SER
vices in the Hawarden church last Sun
day morning and died almost Immediate
ly afterward, were held in the cathedral
at Canterbury this forenoon.
The great edifice was crowded with
people, among whom were the Duke of
York and Prince Charles of Denmark as
the representative of the Prince of Wales;
Duke of Connaught, Duke of Cambridge
and host of ecclesiastical, political and
social dignitaries. There were several
distinct services, the first one beginning
at o'clock in the morning.
The coffin containing the body of the
deceased archbishop was covered with a
white and gold embroidered pail, and was
placed in front of the altar surrounded
by lighted tapers. The Very Rev. f. Will
liam Farrar, d. D., dean of Canterbury,
opened the series Of services by celebrat-
ing the function of holy communion.
The weather was extremely disagreea-
BILE, a heavy rainfall, accompanied by
high winds, prevailing but this state of
things had no effect in keeping people
away from the cathedral. Everybody
present wore deep mourning, and the pri-
mates throne was heavily .draped with

Admission, Oct. 16.-(Special.)- Mrs s.
B. Causey, "a widow, aged Y years, COM
mitted suicide yesterday afternoon by
hanging herself to tree near her home,
five miles west Of this city. She is be-
lieved to have been insane on account of
worrying over the failure to regain $3.50
which she and her daughters, who
worked in the cotton mills here up to five
years ago. had accumulated by hard la
Dor and close economy. Five or six years
since they loaned it for few days to a
prominent man in this city, but it had
never been repaid.
Her last single child, a daughter, was
married yesterday, and rather than put
herself upon her married children for
support, she slipped away from the we'd
ding feast and took her own life.

Dun's Review

Dun's Review
New York. Oct. 16.-R G. Dun & Co.
will say tomorrow in their weekly review
of trade
Gold commands a small premium. The
most powerful force in business at pres
ent is conservative timidity, and the
foreign bankers who have been offering
for a small percentage to ensure people
against a premium on gold until Decem-
Der have made an easy and sure proht
out of prevalent apprehensions.
From Kansas, Nebraska and other
states where the silver agitation is said to
be strong come orders by many business
men to get them gold at small pre-
muium, and there has also been some de-
mand for boarding from individuals in
other states who are afraid even or their
own best judgment.
One commercial change, which more
than any other ensures better business in
the near future, is the excess of merchan-
disc exports over imports.
The heavy movement of grain is the
cornerstone.
Confidence as to the future makes trou-
BILE in some industries, because specula-
ton in materials raises prices so that de-
mand for finished products is checked.
Boot and shoe makers get very narrow
orders at old prices, or at an advance or
less than per cent. Difficulties threaten
the iron manufacturer for pig Is higher,
Bessemer at $1150 and grey forge at 1915
at Pittsburg, while plates, angles and
beams are weaker, and various combina-
tions hold prices only by leaving outside
competitors to take the market as far as
they can. Steel bars are largely sold at
cent while IL is demanded for iron. All
the nails that outsiders can produce are
sold at less than the association asks.
Billets are still sold for less than the pool
price and it's shipments in September ag-
gregated only $4,000 tons, mainly on sheet
and tin plate bars, and the demand for
rails is growing small.
Wool is stronger, with continued specu-
lative buying, but consigned wool has
been mostly withdrawn until after the
election. No gain is at present possible
in goods, and though the number of mills
starting for the week is fifteen, against
seven stopping, much of the work done
is in anticipation of a better demand than
now exists. The cotton manufacture has
also started more spindles, but the de-
mand for goods scarcely increases, and
print cloths sell at 2.56 cents
Failures for the week have been 1928 in
the United States, against 1853 last year,
and 40 in Canada, against 46 last year.

clipping from a republican, and, my
friends it is this attempt of the moneyed
aristocracy that is driving those men out
of the republican party to join with us in
restoring the money of the constitution
and put this government back in the
hands of the people, where 1t belongs
(Cheers)
There were large crowds at Niles and
Dowagiac. AT the latter place Congress-
man Bynum was to speak later in the
day, and Mr.. Bryan took occasion to
quote an utterance of his and make some
comments on it.
Mr.. Bryan began: att is because of
the shrinkage of values, as we'll as the
detriment of labor, that I raise my voice
and utter protest against a crusade that
has been in the past so successfully waged
in behalf of the moneyed interests to the
utter and most complete destruction OF
the welfare of the people. The people or
the west have been paying an exorbitant
interest into the east until they are i'm
poverished. They are energetic, laborious
and patriotic. During the days when the
nations body was bleeding from a hun
dred wounds and it's life trembling i'm the
balance they poured out their richest
blood and treasure that it might be
saved. "
Mr. Bryan had this to say in comment
''Those words were true then, and they
are true today. The people are as laborl-
Gus and energetic now as they were when
Mr. Bynum described them, and they are
suffering today as they suffered then; and
all they ask of the government now Is
what they asked then-that 1t will not
raise its arm and strike them down with
one blow to want and beggary-and yet
when they ask for this they are called
mob. 1 want you to understand that
those who are today--for some reason
which they may be able to explain
changed in their position, cannot change
the truth which they spoke then"

THE BEAM TIPS THIS WAY
The Balance of Trade Continues
in Our Favor.
A HEAVY GRAIN MOVEMENT
New Conditions Favorable to an EARLY Improve
ment in Trade.
BUT THERE is A TINGE OF TlMlDITY
Southern Pig Is 25 Cents Higher-Prices of
Staples Continue Their Upward Ten
dency-Failures Dozen Less
Than Last Week.
UT THERE is A TINGE OF TIMlDITY

New York, Oct. 16.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
While the volume of general trade has
not increased materially, new conditions
are favorable to an early Improvement.
Features of the business week are con-
tinued advance in price and strength of
wheat and the maintenance of a large
volume of wheat exports, notably to India
and Australia. While wool is no higher,
holders have sold enough to render them
Indifferent to immediate business, and
are holding stocks for full figures. While
new orders for iron and steel products
are not being placed freely, they would be
if makers would accept current quota
tions for 1897 delivery. Southern pig Is
25 cents higher, and, Notwithstanding the
growing export trade in iron and steel
has been checked by higher ocean freight
rates and cut prices by German steel ma
kers, it is anticipated that within three
weeks the domestic demand will meet ex-
pectations.
Cotton goods continue in unsatisfactory
demand. Mills are running on full time,
but stocks tend to increase again, and
jobbers and other wholesalers are slow
to pay the advance asked while having
lower priced stocks on hand. Depression
in wooden goods continues marked, the
mills running being on part time or on
samples
Prices continue the upward tendency
of several weeks past, shoes, leather
southern pig iron, wheat, wheat flour,
canned goods, Indian corn, oats, pork,
coffee and print cloths being higher; pc
troleum is lower, and cotton, anthracite
coal, lumber, sugar and various finished
products of iron and steel are unchanged
The total of bank clearings amount to
1894, 900, 900 this week, per cent less than
last week and 146 per cent less than In
the second week of October, 1895.
The total number of business failures
reported throughout the United States
this week is 279, twelve fewer than last
week and ten less than in the second week
of October, 1895.
