LOCATED THE wANDERER.
baltimore Veteran, Missing for
Il Week, Is in Milwaukee.

The Washington Times has again located
a missing man for the headquarters detec-
tives. Several days ago an article was
published in these columns stating that
Inspector Hullinhcrger WAS searching high
andlow for George Michael Kanz a veteran,
who had come to this city and was thought
to have been murdered.
The detectives, acting under Inspector
liollinbergcr's orders, searched the records
OF the morgue, the police department, and
hospitals, but no trace could be found of
the man. His daughter, who resides in
Baltimore, wrote that her father left that
city and started for Washington. Since
then she had received information that
the old man had met with foul play
here.
Today Inspector Hollinberger received in
formation from two persons both OF whom
had read the article in The Times. They
both stated that Veteran kanZ was safely
ensconced in the Soldiers Home at Mil
waUkee- The news was Mt once communi-
Gated To the anxious daughter and other
relatives in Baltimore.

secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Mr.. Crittenton replied warmly to their
generous welcome, and general and in
formal reception followed
An hour and half after the close of
the reception the evangelist took his place
on the platform at the Metror rOlitan Church
A portion of the choir sat on the platform
with him and Dr. JGhnst tona and the audience
was led in singing by il. The only ac-
compartment was small organ at the
fCos of the rostrum.
THE SERIES OF MEETINGS.
Mr.. Crittenton's secretary made the an
nouncements after there had been prayer
and plenty of singing and called particular
attention 10 the afternoon meetings. The
subject for the first one this afternoon
will be "A assurance" and Mr.. Crittenton
will be the speaker. There Will he n chill
dren's meeting next Saturday afternt on,
and in this line, it is said, the powers OF
the evangelist are displayed to their best
advantage.
Then the secretary asked for a oollcc-
ton and it was given while the portion of
the choir sang "Thcre Will be Il objection
every night" said the secretary, land l
want you to give literally. for there will
not be one penny of the money carried away
with us. Mr.. Crittenton pays all our ex-
penses from his own pocket"
Mr.. Crittenton is man of middle age
and robust and healthful in appearance
He has well rounded features that are
adorned with heavy mustache. inclined
TO be gray. His smooth black hair parts
| from the middle and approaches curl
at either side.
He is an extremely rapid talker. In
| fact, he speaks so fast that it is often
difficult for his audience to follow him
and the thread of his discourse is lost.
He is spontaneous in his expressions and
liberal in his gestures.
After Mr.. Perry, who travels in the
| philanthropist's gospel car. had sung a
solo, Mr.. Crittenton began with the Scrip.
tural quotation. Il thought on my way and
| / turned from it,"
Then he related parable after parable
| and drew moral from every one. He
told of the rich man and the poor man.
, and said that the world was today as it
twas when the gospef writer's inscribed
| their stories. He recited the parable -oi
| the prodigal son and went on to paint
word pictures of the erring sons of the
| present day.
He related what he had seen and ex.
| perieuced on the Bowery and in the slums
| of many of the large cities OF the country

ELECTORAL FUSION.

Many people do not know what e!ecto"
raj iusiop is. We do not claim to know,
but will give cur opinion. The voters at
the polls do not vote directly for the pres
ident and president, but for electors,
and they, vote for the president. Ihere
are as many electors as there are con"
ore ssman and senators in the state FOR
instance in this state, we have III elec"
tors They are nominated just as the
governor ard other candidates. Iheir
names are all on the ticket. The cleo
tors at the polls for this year have al'
ready been nominated. Now say that
we have Electoral Fusion, what does II
mean? 1t means that some of the eleven
M ust be taken down and PoPulists put IN
their places. Let Us say that Populists
will be put up and 4 Democrats taken
down. At the polls every Democrat that
does not scratch the ticket will vote for
the 4 Populist electors and for the Dem
ocratic electors. Each State will have to
carry il out in the same way, if fusion Is
brought about. When the election is
over aud time comes to elect president
and a vice president the eleven electors
will cast solid vote for Bryan. But
Sewall will get the z Democratic elector-
al votes and Watson will get the Pop.
ulist votes. If the Populst electoral
vote is stronger than the Democratic
Watson will be elected If Sewall leads
in the fusion ticket he " ill be elected
that is if the fusion between the Demo
Gratis and Populists be strong enoug b te
out vote the Republicans.

the issre. It is very likely that Mr..
Blaine spoke as be is quoted above, and
if he did 80 speak he, of course, uttered
the conclusions of one of the most pros
found and brilliant intellects of modern
times. 1t must be considered, however,
that the conditions prevailing In 1851
we're different from those that prevail
now. Mr.. Blaine spoke of things as they
were then. The question is whether ne
would entertain the same opinions and
utter the same language to-day.
We do not believe that this controversy
ca be intelligently conducted except
upon the basis of the existing state on at-
fairs. Fifteen years ago. even ten years
ago. it was q purely academic DEBATE.
I'll, re- was at that time no probe bility Of
the country's adopting the policy of free
and unlimited silver coinage Now the
prospect stares US in the face. We have
to think, therefore, Of facts, not theories.
The gold men, who, by the way, say
great many foolish and unwarrsnted
things, insist that ruin, dishonor. poverty
and degradation will follow the triumph
of the silver men. The others insist, with
equal vehempnce. that we are already on
the high road to all those evils under the
operation OF the single gold stanoafu.
No sensible man believes either OF these
propositions, but sensible men are puz-
zIed as to what propositions they shall
believe. OF what avail, then. is the dec>
lara,ion made by Mr.. Blaine, sixteen
years age? Was he prophet? If 80, the
quotation above given throws lig ht upon
the mystery. lfhe was not q prophet,
the utterance is of no value in 1896. At
the time at which Blaine spoke, or is said
to have spoken, many men now promi-
nent as gold advocates thought with him.
Carlisle, Herbert, Hoke Smith, Sterling
Morton, hundreds of leading men and
newspapers advocated silver coinage and
the double standard. Conditions have
changed and men have changed with
them. Vhere would Mr.. Blaine stand
to day, were he aIiveP That is the real
question.
