Mr.. Payne was asked wnat was the

The trend of the reports was extraor-
Never in all my political experience
f1av such manifestations been made of
keen interest in the outcome so early in
the campaign. The interest Is general,
as the reports showed US. 1t is confined
to no section. l don't believe there has

Did the reports show more interest in
the money question than you had ex-

Il cannot say that more interest seems
to be taken in the money question than

a great deal of interest in it,
ssWill the enlightenment of the people
on the money question be one of the chief

plenty of light on the subject. Not that
the tariff is to be side-traclxed The peo-
pie are realizing, that they made a mis-

much attention to it as to the money
issue On that issue. we will make the
fight so hot for our friends, the enemy.
that they will be glad when we open on

tariff as an issue be ignored--not by any
means-but at the beginning of the cam

This was the state of things several
weeks ago. and matters have remained in
statu quo until this morning. Last night
Mr. Martin notified Kohler, his painter,
to send squad of ten men to paint the
remaining side, and work was begun at
ten O'clock. BURNLEY became enraged
and summoned a squad Of police to stop
the intruding painters, who in the mean
while had lifted their. scaffold to the roof
and all was quiet when the police ar
rived.
The work did not cease however. The
painters obtained long poles, to which
they fastened their brushes. and painted
from the edge of Martins roof. Burn

and demanding that the work be stopped
but the crowd of about two hundred peo-
pie which had gathered, readily applauded
the skill of the painters and the work
