A NORTHERN boiling plutocrat says
Bryan studied the Constitution under
the teachings of Jefferson Davis"
Well, if he did, which is doubt
full, he could not, in all the
land, have found among the teachers of
that instrument, one who understood it
more correctly and more thoroughly
comprehended the ideas and intentions
of those who framed it; and to the dis
regard of whose teachings, and those Of
others who taught US as he did, is due
all the evil that has resulted from the
legislation of this country.

ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS are
never noticed in the Offices OF newspa-
pers that have anything else to print
The fact, therefore, that the Richmond
Times, the organ of the gold boilers in
that city, should publish whole columns
of them, endorsing the course OF
Governor O'Ferrall in boiling the dem
ocratic conventions of both Staunton
and Chicago, is observable at least,
and suggests the idea that, though
it prints them, it is ashamed
of the writer's, and thinks the publicity
of their names would do its cause, that
of Mr.. Mckinley, more harm than
good.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 2S-The con-

has b,en postponed until after election
day. Options on the stock held By the

That the opposition of the boilers to

THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIM.

Chairman Campeau, of the demo-
cratic national campaign committee, in
Chicago, received yesterday, in re-
Spouse to instructions issued some time
ago, Geographic reports from thirty.two
democratic State chairmen, giving es
Inmates as to how the States will record
their votes next Tuesday, based on the
latest information received by the State
committees. This is the last formal re-
port that will be made by the State
chairman.
After compiling the advices received
Chairman Campeau made the following
statement to the United Associated
Press:
1.-The democratic national committee
awaits The result ofnext weeks election
with serene confidence. William Jen-
nings Bryan will be elected by the
largest popular majority given any
President in quarter of century.
He will have more than 800 votes in
the electoral college.
1.-The following States will give their
votes for Bryan without the shadow of
doubt.
alabama, California, Florida, Idaho,
Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North
Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Utah, Washington, Wyoming. Arkan-
sas. Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mis-.
souri,, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ore
gon, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia,
West Virginia. Total electoral votes
2S3.
In addition to this, our chances of
success in the following States are bet
ter than those of the republicans :: Della
ware, Ohio, Wisconsin; total IS elector-
al votes.
"The brag and buster of the repub-
lican national committee in claiming
$50 electoral votes is shown in the in
clusion in their estimates of such States
as Texas, Utah, Idaho, and Montana,
where the majority for Bryan can only
be measured by considering almost The
whole voting population for him. 1t is
time that the people understood plain
" that Mr.. Mckinley will not carry
the country"

Mr.. ROOSEVELT, rank republican,
but Mr.. Cleveland's great admirer, and
a famous civil service reformer, made a
speech in New York last night, in which
he exhibited his animus to the great
agricultural element of the country, by
saying:
"Mr. Bryan and his adherents have
appealed to the basest set in the land,
the farmers. If they are not so, then
why do they belive that he can make
81 out OF so cents. He tells them it
can be brought about by free royalty

the interference of the police.

In ONE of his speeches at Chicago
last night Mr.. Bryan said: "Iou will
not find in our political history another
instance where a President las been
thrown overheard by his own party
only to be caught up and idolized by
the opposing party. Yet that is what
you find to-day. The only people who
are commenting the policy of Grover
Cleveland are the men who are trying
to elect republican President" Yes,
the republicans idolize MIR. Cleveland
now, but only for effect upon the cleo
ton. After that none of them will
feel himself SO poor as to do him rev.
erence.

them that if their employers insisV

An examiner at Edinburgh university
had made himself obnoxious by wsrn-
ing the students against putting their
hats on his desk. The university In the
Scottish capital Is remarkable for q
scarcity Of cloak rooms, and In the ex-
citement Of examinations hats are. or
used to be, flung down anywhere.
The examiner announced one day
that II he ever found another hat on his
desk he would rip II up. The next day
no hats were laid there when the stu
dents assembled. Presently, however.
the examiner was called out Of the
room. Then some naughty undergradu-
ate slipped from his seat, got the ex-
aminer's own hat, and placed It on his
desk. When the examiner reentered
the hall every eye was hxed upon him.
He observed the hat and CLEAN Of tri-
umph shot across his face.
Gentlemen" he said, II told you
what would happen v this occurred
again"
Thsn b took hts penknifs from his
pocket. opened It and blandly cut the
hat In pieces. amidst prolonged sp-

August n ID the anniversary Of the
battle Of Long Island. It was day OF
defeat, but not Of dishonor, for the pa
triots. The American left was defeated
during long contest from daylight un-
III noon. Tho right under Putnam form
Cd its lines on Greenwood heights.
whore the British advanced boldly until
stopped By Lord Sterling with 1900
southcrnefs. When the battle ended On
the American left CORVALLIS ordered
forward ths British right and the troops
Of General Grant assailed the lines at
Greenwood. With 6e American left
broken, Stirling saw the hopelessness
Of winning the battle, but determined
to save the army by retreat across
0ovanus creek. To this end It was
necessary TO force the fighting upon
CORVALLIS with o handful. and cover
the escape Of the main body. As the
stream was affected by the tide. which
was rapidly rising. there was no time to
be lost. Among the forces at hand and
not closely engaged with Grant was q
battalion Of Smallwood's Maryland
regiment, composed OF the flower Of
youth In that colony Of patricians.
They were 200 strong and represented
the -Four Hundred" In high blood and
lineage. Heading this small band as
Q forlorn hope Sterling rushed upon
Cornvaliis' ranks with an impetuosity
like that displayed By the Old Guard
Of Napoleon. For twenty minutes the
conflict Was terrible. and CORVALLIS
line was beaten back from the creek,
across which all Of sterling's force, ex-
cept the Marylanders, retreated. After
the ranks had been sadly thinned the
noble leader made stirring appeal to
the remnant to 30 forward. There was
. cheer and charge and CORVALLIS
guns at the main battery were lost.
Three tmes the gallant 400 was driven
back and three times rallied for the
bloody advance.
Stirling was finally compelled TO
yield, but not until $50 Of the Mary
land phalanx had perished by the bull
lets or bayonets Of CORVALLIS grena-
diers. CORVALLIS received the sword
Of the noble Scot and sent him on board
Lord Howe's flagship. He lived to
fight his old enemy on countless
delds and to aid In his overthrow at
yorktown. ...-
The one hundred and eighteenth an
niyersary Of the battle will be observed
