NATIONAL CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The political prophets continue
to tell us just how the election is
to turn, and the public gen
orally must be anxious for the
sort of assurances these predic-
tons give, as it pays the newspa-
pers to give up space to them.
Mr.. Hanna, who.stands nearest to
the Republican candidate, and
may be supposed to reflect his ex-
pectations, counts 800 votes for
being seventy-eigbt
in excess of a majority. This
looks hopeful for the Republican
ticket; but when we look closer at
this list we find hat he claims
California 8, Delaware 3, Ken
lucky 13. Kansas 10, Maryland
s, Nebraska s, North Dakota 8,
South Dakota 4, Oregon 4, Wash
ington 4, West Virginia 6, and
Wyoming 3, for Mckinley. AS all
these are reasonably certain
to vote for Mr.. Bryan, we have
to deduct from the Republican
column their seventy FIVE votes,
leaving Mckinley a majority of
three votes in case he carries all
the really doubtful States, namely,
Ohio, %. Indiana Is, Illinois "a,
Iowa ID, Michigan IA, and Mime
sofa 8. And nobody better knows
than Mark Hanna that it is a very
large contract to keep this group
of Republican States in the party
line this year. 1t is indeed be-
cause he has so little hope of do
ing it that he wanders off into the
border States and claims Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington,
as we'll as Kansas.

COUNTY CAMPAIGN.


The Democratic county cardi>
dates were greeted by a large
gathering at Saulston Monday
That township is more alive and
energetic for Democratic sue
cess than in years. The
people over there-as every
where else throughout the coun-
ty, do not relish negro Justices
of the Peace, negro Congress-
men, and gold bugs all along the
line. They are for free silver and
white supremacy.
At Providence precinct, in
Brogden township, Monday, the
Rep-Pop fusion county combine
held forth to a small gathering of
neighborhood voters. They had
the same old cant--election frauds,
&c, &c. And yet in, the face of
this threadbare lie-this empty
charge against the Democrats,
that is this combines stock in
trade during this campaign,
stands the fact, that with all the
election machinery in the hands of
the Democrats two years ago the
fusion combine carried the State
and we're given the Offices by
Democratic returning boards in all
cases where the votes entitled
them to the same. And yet the
Office hunters of this unhalfowed
combine continue to
pirate in the face of an intelligent
and mindful people about Demo
cratic election frauds" They
make no argument on the great
issue of the day, Free Silver-they
are opposed to a joint canvass,
they are opposed to truth and
honesty, they are opposed to
supremacy. They are in
favor of the gold standard, they
ire in favor of White fol Congress,
are in favor ssof trusts and
,ombines-one of whom they are
they trust one another and
ire combined together for office
hey are in favor of negro Justices
# the Peace in Wayne county.

ng speakers was George Winn, a

heir ticket all over the county.
But they will all die the death on

NEWS FROM
The Increased Registration is
Largely Democratic.

The reports of registration re-
ceived at Democratic headquar~
tiers revealed the fact that in
creased registration is largely
Democratic. That there was a
large stay-at~home vote of DEM
ocrats in 1894 there can be no
doubt. Ex-chairman Pou esti-
mates that 10000 Democrats did
not vote. These Democrats are
enthused this year and every
mothers son of them will vote.
This fact has given much en-
enlargement to Chairman Manly
and his advisors. Every return
of registration from the different
counties records an increase,
and in nearly every instance the
increase is in favor of the Dem>
ocrats. Chairman Manly says
that at least three per cent OF
tie registration is illegal, and
will be whipped out. OF course,
this is almost a total Republican
loss.
Russell's election is out of the
question if the Democratic vo~
tiers will record their votes on
election day. This statement is
based on facts, but Chairman
Manly. totally unlike his Repub-
lican friends, is not conducting a
brag and buster campaign.

Lived 116 Years,

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. Is.
-Cathrine Cushenberry, colored,
died at Chlllicothe to-day at the
remarkable age of 116 years. She
was born in Fauquier county,
Virginia, in 1880, and the records
of the county show that, in 1892,
at the age of II years, she was
purchased by a man named Graf
gen; living near Moorfield, in what
is now West Virginia. She passed
through a number of hands after
that until she was the property of
Mrs. Sarah Dyer, of Pendleton
county, West Virginia. Previous
to that time she had twelve chill
dren, and one of them, George
Herbert, had purchased his free
dom and moved to Chillicothe.
In 1862, after a long search,
he located bis mother in Pendle-
ton county. and. purchased her
freedom for 1925. She has lived
in that city ever since with two
of her sons. The whereabouts
of all Of her other children are
unknown. She had been entire
ly blind for thirty years, but re.
tanned her mental faculties to a
remarkable degree up to within
the past three months.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed co ldition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf imed you
have q rumbling sound Or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and

for the purpose of solidifying til,

at an end to-day by Mr.. Wash
burn, in an interview with the re-
porter of the Southern Associated

mittees, particularly the silver
Democracy of Georgia and Ten
nessee, are blamed for the failure
of the negotiations. Mr.. Watson
will spend the remainder of the
campaign practically in silent dis
gust and his interesting letter of
acceptance will likewise not appear
in public to hurt the candidacy of
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Washburn said:
The negotiations which were
pending between Senator Jones
and myself are alt off now. There
will be no further negotiations,
and whether our people and
candidates have been recog-
nized to'the extent to the. ex-
tent that they should have been
or not, our committee desires that
every F'opulists shall prove his
patriotism in helping at the
polls to elect Bryan just as they
did in nominating him at ST.
Louis. This is no time for the
settlement of differences. Our
duty is to secure the triumph of
silver. and every Populist should
do his share and settle party diff
after the election.
Twill Mr.. Watson make a

Il do not think he will. He
has promised to make a few

Col. Fisk ON the Silver Question.


The silver question is one of hui
manity versus selfshness, truth
versus error, Every statesman
and political economist has laid
down as a political axiom that the
values of property are determined
by the volume of money, proper
tionate to the volume of trade
transactions. The declarations of
the great thinkers upon the topic,
briefly stated, may be summarized
us follows: Double the volume
of money, you double the prices
of products; divide the volume Of
money, you divide the prices of
products, double the volume of
IN ney y, V lie the deLt; you
divide the volume Of money, you
double the debt.
At the close of the war, the
paper money volume was more
than 50, 600, 900, 900 for a popu-
lation of only $4,000, 900 people
at least S57 per capita. Money
was plenty and times prosperous
and there was no occasion to Dor
row..
On April II. 1866, at the die
tation of the money changers,
Congress passed a law which au
thorized the Secretary of the
to dispose of bonds for
lawful money of the United
States, the proceeds thereof, to
be used for retiring the Treas
ury notes. From 1866 to
1917 the currency was contracted
$1.41S, 511,377. The wealth
of the nation was at that time
$50, 900 900, 900. as two-thirds of
the peoples money had been de
stroyed that represents a pro-
amount of decrease in
Dvalue~, this decrease
amounting to over $50, 900, O0O,
900. The struggle no going on
between the money power and
the people is in the volume Of
tender money. The usur-
ers desire scarce money-conse-
quently dear money which COM
pels the people to borrow, and as
the volume controls prices and
debt must be paid in pruducts at
half their value.
ThiS-iS the result of the con
traction of the currency and the
of silver, which
has caused a decline in the

This enormous balance is paid

while her imports are nearly

5000, 900 900 in gold Cor the $500,

900. 900 in silver for the 500,
900, 900 goods sold and coins the

see how it works with silver bas
is countries. Take Japan-whose
exports under the bounty caused
by the par of exchange are in>
creasing enormously every year
suppose that country exports
$500, OOO. O00 and imports $780,
900 600. For her exports she re-
ceives $4OO. 600, 900 gold, which
is converted into $500, 900. 900 OF
debt-paying money in Japan. She
pays 5000. OOO. 900 of Japan mon
ey for the 500. 900, 600 imports.
She has, therefore, gained $780,
600, 900 and Lost 800, OOO, 900. The

to silver basis countries more
than we import we are the los
