The Republicans came dangerously
near to being thrown into panic this
week by the unfavorable views they re-
ceived from Ohio and other states which
they had fancied to be sure for McKin-
ley. They are still quaking in private
but have mustered up sufficient courage
to resume their old game of claiming
everything in public, and notice has
been served upon their millionaie back
ers that more moncy-lots more-must
be at once raised and sent into Ohio and
other states without which Mckinley
cannot possibly be elected.

Here are some of the reasons. in the
shape of letters received at Democratic
headquarters in Washington, why the
Republicans are getting frightened
about Ohio. From Fullerton, the chair
man Of the Silver club writes: I'm our
backwoods town in the corner of Ohio,
where we usually poll nearly 200 Repub-
Iican to 10 or T. Democratic votes, we
have organized silver club, which now
has more than 90 members. There has
been a silver club organized in every
township around us, and from Redlield
the secretary of another Silver club
writes This precinct polled So Demo-

over 100 this fall"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washlngton. Octnher O.

Washington, October o, 1896.
Lawrence Gardner secretary of the
Democratic congressional campaign
committee. returned this week from IL G
convention of the National Association
of Democrats Clubs, Of which he is also
secretary. He says the convention was
the most largely attended and most
thoroughly enthusiastic of any conven-
tion of the kind ever held. and that
despite the hard times and the diScrimi-
nation Of the railroads there was a larger
attendance than was expected. Speak
ing of what he learned on the trip Mr.
Gardner said: while at st. Louis. and
on my way thther and back, consulta-
tions were had with delegates from all
parts of the country, and while | went
to St. Louis already satisfied that Mr.
Bryan would be elected. returned with
absolute certainty that nothing can be
done to stay the tide that will carry him
into the White House. Ihave rcfrained,
up to the present time, from expressing
my opinion for publication, but now,
feeling so absolutely confined to the re-
suit. state the sincere belief that Bryan's
election is assured. But as this is the
fight OF the people against the money
power of the world, we must be watchful
and keep up the fight until the results
are declared" p"

More than 300 enthusiastic LDcmo-
Gratis went out to Laurel to hear
Senator German make his first Bryan
and Sewall speech, and they were amply
paid for so doing. Senator Germans
statement of his own position on the
financial question was at once modSet
and forceful. He said: There are
some Democrats who have thought it
best to 20 slow on the question now be
fore the people, but when we submitted
our views at the highest court in this
land the national convention. there was
nothing left for the Democrats to do
but to accept the decision" The sena-
tor paid his respects to the boilers in a
few vigorous and characteristic words
and closed by assuring his hearers that
the Maryland voters could not be bought
in his own language: Il think |
know the people well enough to say that
all the banks, railroads and other cor
poratons will not be able to prevent
Maryland from casting her electoral vote
for Bryan and Sewall."

STEvENSON's COW.
1t Seemed Easy Enough TO Milk Her
Until the Attempt Was Made.


From Stevenson's Letters in St Nicholas.
This is to inform you that the Jersey cow
had an elegant little cow-calf Sunday last.
There was a great deal of rejoicing, of
course: but don't know whether or not
you remember the Jersey COW. Whatever
else she is. the Jersey cow is not good
natured, and Dimes, who was UP here on
some other business, went down to the
paddock. to get hood and to milk her.
The hood is little wooden board with two
holes in it, by which it is hung from her
horns. L donstsknow how he got it on, and
1 don't believe he does. Anyway, in the
middle of the operation, in. came Bull
Bazett, with his. head down, and roaring
Nike the last trumpet. Dimes and all his
merry men hid behind trees in the pad
dock and skipped. Dimes then got upon a
horse, piled his spurs and cleared for Apia.
The next time he is asked to NEEDLE with
our cows he will probably want to know
the reason why. Meanwhile, there was the
COW, with the board over her eyes. left tied
by a pretty long rope to small tree in the
paddock. and who was to milk her? She
roared-I was going to say like a bull, but
it was BaZett who did that, walking up
and down. switching his tail. and the noise
of the pair of them was perfectly dreadful.
Palema went UP to the Bush to call
Lloyd; and Lloyd came down in one of his
know all-about-it moods 1T was perfect
ly simple" he said. THE COW was hooded;
was to draw her up to the tree, and get a
hitch atout it So he emitted the cow and
drew her up close to the tree, and got
hitch about IT right enough. And then the
COW brought her intellect to bear on the
subject, and proceeded to walk round the
tree to get the hitch off.
Now this is geometry, which you'll have
to learn some day. The tree is the center
of two circles. The cow had a radius" Of
about two feet, and &ent leisurely round a
small circle; the man had a radius OF
about thirty feet, and either he must let
the COW get the hitch unwound or else he
must take UP his two feet to about the
height Of his eyes, and race round big
circle This was racing and chasing.
The cow walked quietly round and round
the tree to unwind herself; and first Lloyd
and then Palema, and then Lloyd again,
scampered ronld the big circle, and fell.
and got up again, end bounded like deer
TO keep her hitched.
1t was funny to see, but We couldn't
laugh with a good heart; for every now
and then (when the man who was running
tumbied down. the COW would get bit
anead; and / promise You there was then
no sound of any laughter, but We Jther
edged away toward the gate, looking to see
the crazy beast loose and charging us. To
add 10 her attractions, the board had fallen
partly off and only covered one eye, CIV
| ing her the look of a crazy old woman in
sydney slum. Meanwhile, the calf stood
| looking on, little perpleXed, and seemed
| to he saving: 'Weil, now, is this life? 1t
| doesn't seem as If ii was all ii was cracked
| up to be- And is this my mamma? What

Reserved Seat. I'm Theaters.

Judge Wilson of Cincinnati has rendered
an opinion of much interest to theater-
going people and proprietors Of amusement
houses 1t says speculation in theater tick
cts is unlawful, and holds that reserved
seat tickets cannot be sold for a certain
performance after the theater doors are
open for that certain performance. In
other words, a person buying a ticket for
general admission after the doors are open
for ? certain performance is entitled to any
seat in the house not then reserved. This
is in accordance with an ordinance passed
in Cincinnati i'm 1872, but which has been
regarded as a dead letter. The court, I'm
setting out the intent of the ordinance.
said that any person who offers reserved
seats after the doors are open comes within
the meaning OF the ordinance. even though
he has no connection with the theater. He
| must show, if charged under this provision.
that the seats be purchased were for his
own private use.
