MAJOR M'KlNLEY
Signs a Batch of Letters and Tells Them
How it All Happened-Snow
in Canton.

Canton, O., Nov. 13.-Maj. Mckinley
devoted a great deal of time this after
noon to the task of signing letters There
are great piles of letters awaiting his
signature. For the last month he has
been able to answer none but the most
pressing epistles.
Snow fell all afternoon and the chill of
the winter was in the air. Callers were
few and Maj. Mckinley for the first time
since his election had two or three hours
of uninterrupted toll. This evening a
number of the neighbors and friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Mckinley spent the even
ing by special invitation at the house of
the President-elect. Mrs. Mckinley had
SO far recovered her health as to be able
to receive her guests. This was the first
social event that has taken place at the
Mckinley house since the election.
Gen. Vim. Osborne went to Cleveland
this afternoon to see Mr.. Hanna. 1t is
likely that Chairman Hanna will come
to Canton in a day or two to have long
talk with Mr.. Mckinley. Mr. Mckinley
said tonight he would not be able to at
tend the banquet of the Home Market
club in Boston on the oath inst.
A local paper says tonight: "Col Geo.
r. Guyger, of the Eighth regiment, Ohio
national guard, was in the city today in
consulta ton with Maj Mckinley rela-
tive to the matter of his regiment acting
as escort at his Inauguration. Although
the President-elect has not stated whom
he will give the honor to, the Eighth regi-
confidence in the belief that they will be
favored and the railroad authorities are
after them relative to transporting
them"

DRIVEN TO HIS GRAVE.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 13.-It was stat
ed today that Peter M. Wertemberg, of
this city, who committed suicide by
drowning at Atlantic City, N j., several
days ago and whose identity was estab-
lished by a tax receipt found upon him,
lost his reason over the result of the cleo
ton. When the police investigated the
case, in response to message from At
lantic City, they learned from neighbors
of Wertemberg that he was intensely in
terested in the success of Bryan and Alt
geld for Governor His wife informed
Special Policeman Hartridge that he be-
came violent upon learning the result of
the election. He says the money power
was holding back the returns from the
west. He became more violent as the
facts were forced upon him and his wife
considered that he had lost his reason
over the result. On Sunday he told her
that he was disguised with the country
and intended to kill himself and wanted
his body given to the students. He left
the house and she heard no more from
him until notified by the police of his
fate at Atlantic City.

vert the food into solid flesh and blood.
OF all the means that medical skill has
ever discovered for recruiting the ex-
hausted energy of the worn-Out system,
Paine's celery compound is far in adj
vance. The pallid face, the pinched fea-
lures. the growing thinness and the
nerveless movements that tell the story
of badly impoverished nerves and brain
all these forebodings of approaching dis
ease disappear with the profound nour-
fishing that Paine's celery compound al
ways provides throughout the body, even
to the minutest nerve filaments and blood
capillaries.
David Hirsch, the well-known Broad
way merchant, New York CITY, writes as
follows to Wells. Richardson & Co.:
Il am advocating Paine's celery COM
pound among my many friends, because
it has done me so much good in a very
short space of time. 1 have been suffer-
ing for years from indigestion and all its
consequent ills, sleeplessness included I
had lost about thirty pounds in weight,
and was getting weaker and more nerv-
exertions of any kind, and l used con-
veyances for every short distance.
After taking two bottles of Paine's
celery compound I feel in every respect
better, stronger, more cheerful and will
ing to live. will certainly never forget
the effects of Paine's celery compound
upon my system, and l wish to state that
l am now past 6S years of age. I have
Travelled most all over the world, and
now I feel can keep on doing 1t and also
enjoy it."
Paine,s celery compound has done as
much for thousands of others. ...,.

HERE'S MORE TROUBLE.


Private Stockholders of the A. & N. C..
Don't Want to Lease the Road.
Raleigh, N. c., Nov 13.--It has been ar
ranged that private stockholders of the
Atlantic and North Carolina railway, in
which the state owns two-thirds interest
should meet today to ratify its lease to a
Goldsboro syndicate for term of years
at 21h per cent. per annum, on three mil
lions of capital stock, but private stock
holders secured a restraining order and
this is to be heard Dec l. In the appli-
cation for the order it is alleged that the
attempted lease is a conspiracy and that
the charter does not permit it, The state
has always operated the road and the
latter has never paid over 2 per cent.
dividend Republicans allege that the
democratic administration is attempting
to make the lease so as to prevent the
incoming administration from controlling
the roads. Democrats assert that the
lease is good financial policy

Nigger-LOvcr Pharr.

Captain Pharr, the nominee of the
spotted combine for governor, according
to his own account of his life, was ouce
an overseer or NEGRO puncher.' We
guarantee that there are scores of old
gray-headed negroes in South Louisiana
who can testify to the terrors OF a bull
whip lash welded by his lusty arms
TO listen to his hypocritical professions
OF love for the negro is disgusting. His
willy statement as to the docility and
general goodness Of tho darkies, we sup
pose. is based upon his experience in
controlling them with club. Let some
OF tho old-time slaves be heard about
Pharr's gentlencss and kindness for the
black man, and We will warrant they
will laugh at his professions now.

The managers of the Pharr circus in
Grant parish have been spending good
deal of their time Of late explaining
things. They explain that they didn't
have any brass band on the 10Th ultimo,
when everybody knows it. They explain
that the unjust charge and ceosure
against them OF going into that dicker
with impure motives is under considers
tion and bids fair to terminate harmoni-
ously-of course. They explain that
they would like for the Democrats to
repudiate their party autonomy, over
ride all precedent, recognize their So
called party organization, and join them
In lilly white" primary. Well, we told
the boys they were going to have sweet
time Of it explaining to the people, and
they might as we'll set in to keep this
sort of thing up from row until the elec-
ton.

Judge George Wear.

1t IL With pleasure we present the name
OF Judge George Wear for consideration
OF the voters of the Fourth Judicial Dis
trict, IN connection with the judgeship
ms announcement appearing elsewhere
in our columns.
Judge Wear is too well-known aud an.
preciatcd to require eulogy at our hands,
his record as a just and upright judge
standing pre- minently before our people,
Dignified, upright, conscientious and
courteous in his department and deal.
ings as Judge and as an individual. and
sound, impartial and positive in the dis
charge Of his legal duties, judge Wear
has won the respect and confidence of ali
who know him best, and has left an i'm
press of Judicial worth on the annals of
the 4th district, second TO none. The
true Judgment on a mans worth and
capabilities in his profession is that pass
ed by liberal and unbiased minds OF his
class. Recently we heard an attorney
who resides and practices in neighbor-
ing district, and whose legal ability is
unquestioned, remark that it would in
deed be a great misfortune to the 4th
judicial district should Judge Wear fail
OF election. This is a true estimate of
the mans worth and will find repose
in the minds of all thinking people.
While others labor in the fence corner
and at the cross road to win suffrage. the
dignity and onerous duties OF Judge
Wear IS position will not permit him to
avail himself of public campaign meth
DDS, and we feel sure his self-denial and
adherence to duty. and his splendid rec
ord as judge, coupled with his estim-
able personality, will serve to retain the
esteem and confidence he deserves at the
hands OF our people, who will ultimately
pronounce the commentator: well
done thou good and faithful servant

The Republican-Po Pops Of Grant parish
must feel somewhat guilty of the charge
OF bulldozing that they say is being cir
culated against them in jackson and
Caldwell parishes, or they would not
have felt called upon to examine into
and report on the same. They denouDce
the whole thing as false, and then wind
mp by admitting that there is some truth
in it by saying:
I'VE do find that the white laborers at
mills in eastern Grant parish object to
competition with colored people, but
even in thoee localities the colored peo-
pie are allowed to 60 wherever business
calls them without molestation."

A Prominent Populist Kicks

Editor Democrat-Journal tMansfeld):
Some one seems to have been running
very fast Of late. 1t appears that the
executive committee of the Peoples par.
ty IN Louisiana is about the fastest nag
in the race. IT it had not jumped the
railing and flown the track, it might
have come out in the lead, but some
young animals will act the fool at times.
Now, we believe in the Omaha plat
form as it was adopted on the Attn of
July, 1892, at Omaha. We believe it is
possible for another convention to as
semble, composed OK just as smart men
as composed the Omaha convention, but
we do not believe more patriotic body
ever assembled on the American contin-
ent. That convention came direct from
the great wealth producers of the coun-
try. The farmers and mechanics first
formulated their demands at home. They
tried to get the powers that were, to en-
act them into laws, but they would not;
the overburdened and oppressed masses
met in their alliances and labor halls and
discussed the situation until they were
perfectly satisfied there was no relief pos
sibIe from either OF the old parties.
This Omaha platform was thoroughly
discussed in every Deighborhood, at al
most every fireside-every plank, every
clause, every sentence and every word.
1t was submitted to the farmers in their
alliances, to the mechanics in their labor
unions; We met each other as We went to
our daily toll; we leaned ON our plow
handles and discussed this matter with
our neighbors. We studied the
situation from every standpoint, and the
more We studied the more we became
convinced that these demands were right
and just, and that if they did not prevail
American liberty would soon be a thing
OF the past. We believed that
the platform ought to be crystalized into
laws; We believed that if this was done
the laborer would reap the just reward
of his labor, and that equal justice to all
classes would be the result. and yet be
lieve it.
These principles have been discussed
by the horny handed farmers all over the
land, aDd they say this is what We want,
that nothing short of this will give us
the relief our necessities demand, there
fore We do not propose to give up any Of
our principles As well might you take
from the Christian creed the immortality
OF the soul and expect them to worship
at its shrine as to take from the Omaha
platform one of its principles and expect
the Farmers Alliance men to vote for il.
No, sir. we hsve been fooled too often
