Notes Of the Campaign.

President Cleveland has appointed a sue
cessor to John II. Lewis, postmaster at
PA p ilHeE Falls. Wisconsin, whom he removed
for failure to observe the Presidents order
in regard TO postmasters taking an active
part in the campaign this year.
Senator Peterson, of Minnesota, declares
that Mckinley will carry that state by from
5000 to $4,000 majority.
Archbishop Katzer of Milwaukee adds
his testimony TO that of Archbishop Ire
land of St. Paul: ~ have made a careful
study of the question, and have read all of
Mr.. Bryan's silver arguments, but have
not found a single point in favor of the
cial revolution following its adoption"
Last Saturdays demonstration at Can
ton probably marked the climax in the re-
markable campaign scenes which are being
enacted there. There were "a, 900 visitors,
and it required so special trains to carry
them. Maj. Mckinley made 20 speeches
during the day. Sunday morning when he
looked out and saw the first snow fall OF
the season he remarked that it was fortu-
nate that it had not come the day before.
The "Union generals" train arrived at
Canton early in the morning, bearing Gems.
Alger, Sckles, Stewart, o. o. Howard and
others. The party dined with Maj. Nc
Kinley and spent the afternoon with him.
Early Monday morning they left on trip
through the Western Reserve. This week
the routine daily reception of delegations
from far and near at the Mckinley home
stead goes on Just as 1t has done for many
previous weeks.
Leslie's Weekly, New York, printed the
statement last week, supported by an aft
davit, that William J. Bryan wrote a let
ter last January applying to the manager
OF the Herald Square theatre, New York,
for a position as press agent of his COM
pany. The New York Tribune took up
the story Saturday and amplified it, adding
the apparently reliable information that
Mr.. Bryan renewed his application only
three weeks before the Chicago conven-
ton and his nomination for the presiden-
cy. Mr.. Bryan has thought it worth while
to deny the truth of the story, adding that
at the time in question he was writing arti-
Giles for his newspaper and making free
silver speeches. The statement in Leslie's
Weekly was so explicit, however, that fur
ther developments may be expected. There
is no discredit in connection with a re-
spectacle theatrical company, but it is inn
possible not to regard as grotesque the idea
of the candidacy for President of the United
States of a man who rated his abilities and
success as lawyer, newspaper man and
member OF Congress so low that he was
anxious to act as advance agent for such
company.

Along with the enthusiastic claims OF
overwhelming Republican success in all
the great states of the middle West II is
we'll to put the estimate Of the situation in
Indiana, made by one of the most careful
of experienced observers in the country.
This writer believes the vote OF Indiana
will be given to Mckinley, "but the victory
for sound money can be won only by per
sistent and intelligent labor, skillful man.
agement and stubborn fighting until the
Sd of November" From a similar source
comes an estimate of the general situation,
which is TO the effect that, while the re-
ports do not justify the more extravagant
Republican claims, "they do warrant ex-
preston of the belief that Major Mckinley
has now not only clear majority Of votes
of the electoral college, but at least 30 "a
spare

THE POLITICAL DRIFT.
RspnhIIoan Forecasts.


The latest estimate sent out by Gen.
Grosvenor Of Ohio gives 202 electoral votes
as assured for Mckinley. In this list are
included all the Eastern states, Maryland,
Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wlscon-
sin, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Oregon, Wash
ington and California.
Estimates from sources independent of
the national committee claim that Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
will give Mckinley larger majorities than
they have ever given any presidential can
didate. These states alone, with the states
of the East and Ohio, insure McKinley's
election. everywhere in the middle West
the Bryanites are downcast and all that Is
necessary is to keep in operation the ma
chinery which is now at work and which
accomplished such good results"
In Illinois the Republican poll shows a
plurality of 90, 900 for Mckinley in Cook
county (Chicago) and $1,000 in the state
outside-maklng a total Of 17S,00O. Iowa,
too, is claimed by record breaking major
ity. Indiana is claimed by 100000 ma
jority. The Minnesota figures are put
down at $4,000 majority for Mckinley. In
that state Archbishop Ireland's letter has
destroyed the last hope Of the Bryanites.
They are now panic-stricken and have
practically abandoned the canvass"
This is the drift Of the weeks dispatches
from Republican sources. The estimates
are undoubtedly founded on canvasses &C
tually made, and represent the actual be-
lief OF the Republican leaders in an over
whelming victory for sound money, but
the time when everybody will draw long
breath of relief will be on Wednesday
morning, Nov 4, after the votes have been
cast and the count comes out on the right

Mrs. Anna c. stoEen OF South Weymouth,
Mass, In acknowledging receipt OF $4,000, for
value OF policy on the life Of her husband, re-
Gently deceased, writes State Agent James T.
Phelps follows: II wish TO acknowledge the
prompt settlement OF the insurance under my
husbands policy 81, 00l, and also to take this op
portunity Of expressing TO the company my sin-
cere appreciation OF the way in which have been
treated. That any of my friends may understand
dition OF Affairs. premium was que on Mr.
Stowells policy April 30, 1926. This was not paid,
and since his death we find that the company
sent a second notice on May :, and third notice
stating that the insurance had lapsed, but would
be reinstAted II premium was paid and health
certificate given. Later still a letter conveying
the same information was sent, all these papers
having been In Mr.. Stowell's possession. In
pocket Of an ONCE coat we found a check made
by Mr. Stowell for this premium and dated May
5. Mr.. Stowell's accident occurred June %. and
he died June y. By the terms OF the policy l
should have been entitled TO $500, but am CRATE
full that the company, while recognizing that
have still seen fit TO pay the face Of the policy,
$4,000" The generosity OF the National Life in
paying the face-value of the policy under the
above circumstance, is but in keeping with its
general policy. Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to see that their hus
bands pay the premiums on their policies when
they fall due, as companies not obliged TO pay
been pail. Mrs. Stowell's words OF appreciation
are nj ne too strong for the kind and generous
treatment accorded her by the National Life.
