WIN. L. WILSON SUGGESTED

As the Logical Candidate to Oppose Nc
Einley FOR the Presidency.
To the Editor of the Register
Sir.-MaiOr McKiuley's nomination
as the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent being an assured fact. I would sug-
gest that YOU begin TO boom with all
the fervor and zeal at your command
the only logical candidate whom the
Democracy can pit against him, and
that is Postmaster General William l..
Wilson. of our Little Mountain State.
who is the favorite amongst the me-
Chanics of this country. | can speak
intelGEentlv on this matter. as I am a
mechanic myself. and I am confident I
represent and express their views when
I advocate the nomination of William
L. Wilson. of this State. by the Democ-
racy of this great and glorious union of
ours for President TO oppose William
Mckinley. of Ohio. One represents
broad views and craftsmanship while
the other narrow mindedness and bieot-
ry. You viii find that the
geographical opposition to him
amounts to nothing as COM
pared TO the mild form Of protectiOnists'
opposition to protection. Run Major
Mckinley. and our William L. is as
popular i'm the State of New York as
Whitney or Cleveland or any other
State where we have tried and true
Democrats for leaders. who are good
old Grover Cleveland tariff reformers.
Advocate Wilson. Boom Wilson. He
is our logical candidate.
Yours I'm united Democracy.

GOT STAMPS FROM THE CZAR.
A Youngsters Scheme Which Panned
Out in Great shape.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Some time ago the attention Of a
Philadelphia mother was attracted to
her little boy by the fact that he lay at
full length on the library floor. evidently
deeply involved in the intricacies of let
ter writing. All inquiries as to the pur-
port and proposed destination of the la
borious production failed to elicit fur
ther remark than an advice to wait
while" At last the missive ended with
a scrawling superscription and an i'm
mcnse sigh of relief, and it was proudiy
borne to the father and mother. that
they might be afforded an opportunity
of expressing their entire appreciation,
which was evidently expected.
Imagine their surprise when their
eyes fell upon the following:
Dear Czar:-Since the death of your
father you must have received a great
deal of foreign postage stamps on let
ters from your friends who We're sorry
for you. lam collecting postage stamps
and If you will please send me a good
lot of yours l will send you some Amer
can ones in return"
The parents at first laughed at the
" pleased with the idea Of his young
brain that they finally determined to
allow him to mail it, never imagining
that it would really fall beneath the
royal gaze.
With both the parents and the child
the thing was already fast becoming
thing of the forgotten past, when the
mail of few mornings ago brought the
young fellow a rather bulky envelope.
bearing upon it the seal and arms of the
royal house of Russia. To the little fell
lows delight he found. on opening it,
that it was packed with stamps of all
nationalities.
The labored missive had evidently
reached its destination, and had spelled
out TO the heart of the man, in all the
excitement of his coronation cere-
monies, such a message of childish in
nocence as made refusal impossible.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall street Review

New York, Aug. 17.-During the ear
ly trading at the Stock Exchange today
the market was feverish and irregular
owing to lower cables from London and
a belief that money rates would work
higher in the near future: Later sugar
was bought on large scale by brokers
said to be acting for leading bear,
and the stock was advanced from 1927
to l05M. A week ago today the stock
brought 95. The announcement that
refined sugar had been reduced u a
3-16 per pound had no influence on the
stock. The strength of sugar impart~
ed firm tone to the general list and
late in the day when call loans instead
of advancing fell to 2A per cent and
Sterling exchange displayed weakness
the market for stocks showed positive
strength. In the final transactions
speculation was quiet and firm except
for Manhattan which was a shade
lower Net changes show gains of 4
n per cent. Total sales were 1881
