mans Chances for the Governor
ship Grows With Each Day.
Cincinnati, Ohio, October lit
would be extremely humiliating to
Mark Hanna if Governor Bushnell
should be reelected and the Demo-
Gratis should secure a majority in the
General Assembly. There are some in
dications that the pins are being set
up to bring about such result. The
Hanna-Cox legislative ticket in this
county is opposed by a set of fusion
nominees The county will return four
teen members of the Legislature and
the fusion ticket includes one Repub-
lican and three Democratic Senators
and four Republican and six Democrat
&c Representatives
ARE OPPOSED TO cox.
1t is not claimed that the Republic
cans on the ticket if elected, will vote
for Democrat for United States Sen
ator, but neither will they vote for
Mark Hanna They are opposed to the
rule Of George B. Cox, and in this town
to be antiCoX is to be anti-Hanna.
The situation in Hamilton county
presents opportunity for trading that
are rarely found in a political cam
paign. The Hanna-CoX legislative tick
ct will go on the official ballot in the
regular Republican column and it is not
likely that the followers Of the two
bosses will take the chances of having
their ballots thrown out by scratching
Bushnell, though they would shed no
tears over his defeat. The fusion tick
ct will go on the ballot in the Demo-
cratic column, but many of its support
ers among the Republican reformers
will vote for Bushnell for Governor
The Forakerites will of course, vote
solidly for Bushnell, but considera-
BILE number of them will cast their bal
lots for the fusion legislative ticket.
CHANCES FOR TRADING.
The overtures for trading will prob
ably come from the Foraker Republic
cans They are shrewd politicians as a
rule, and will hardly overlook the
chance to secure Democratic votes for
Bushnell in return Tor support given the
fusion legislative ticket. Thus, it may
come about that Bushnell will carry
the county, while the Republican local
ticket may be badly defeated

The Republican party of the country
is gradually making bold enough to
admit that the international agree
ment" clause in the Republican plat
form was and is intended only as a
trap for the UNIV airy, says the Nebraska
Independent. 1t is merely confidence
game. The Republican party would
make the people believe that it is for
the restoration of silver as a money
metal, and when given power will dis
criminate against it more than ever.
Concerning the probability of any
good for silver coming from the inter-
national agreement commission the st.
Paul Pioneer Press, one Of the Oldest
Republican papers on the northwest,
says:
"The report that the English govern
ment intends to give any sincere aid
to the establishment Of international
bimetallism is absurd. All representa-
tives of the kind, either in relation to
England or any of the principal coun-
tries of the continent, do not deserve
the serious attention of men at all
acquainted with the nature of Euro
pean opinion. So far as any sentiment
in favor of bimetallism exists at all it
exists outside Of business and govern
ment circles"
This Is partial uncovering of the
real intent Of the Republican party. It
is for the perpetuity of the gold stand
ard. nationally and internationally. 1t
is for the continued contraction of the
currency and the consequent decrease
in price Of all products. Under such
a system how can this country ever get
out of debt? Our products are to grow
LESS valuable and our obligations to
increase in amount by the accumula-
ton of interest. How will we ever
make both ends meet? r.flt|

Wealthy Glass Usually Wrong.

Bryce in his American Common.
wealth states the following deductions
from observed facts page 252):
Nearly all great political and social
causes have made their way first
among tie middle or humber classes.
The original impulse which has set
the cause in motion, the inspiring
ideas that have drawn nien to 1t, have
come from lofty and piercing minds,
and minds generally belonging to the
cultivated class. But the principles
and precepts these minds have deliv-
cred have waxed strong because the
common people received them gladly,
while the wealthy and educated
classes have frowned on or prosecuted
them The most striking instance of
all is to be found in the early history
Of Christianity.
And again he says: "The chief diff
ference between the so-called upper. or
Weather, and the humber strata Of
society is, that the former are less in
fluenced by notions, often erroneous, of
their own interest. Having something
to lose, they imagine dangers to their
property or their class ascendency.
Moving in more artificial society,
their sympathies are less readily ex-
cited. and they more frequently indulge
the tendency to cynicism natural to
those who lead life full of unreality
and conv entionalisms."

James Bryce in his American Com.
monwealth points to the fact page
3S1), that under the European legisla-
tive system, which may be dissolved,
and ministries which may be upset at
any moment" . the persons
who move in the inner sphere of poll
ties give unbroken attention to politi-
cal problems, always discussing them
both among themselves and before the
people" In the United States, with
its presidential election once in four
years, the education on matters OF
public policy is intermittent, and dur
ing the intervals not enough Is done
towards the formation Of political
thought and the solution of pplitical
problems. A little later in the. same
chapter he says that what Is wanted is
"a more sustained activity on the part
of the men of vigorously independent
minds, more sedulous effort on their
part to impress their views upon the
masses; and a disposition ON the part
Of the ordinary well-meaning but often
inattentive citizens to prefer the reali-
ties Of good administration to outworn

No man in the United States deserves
or enjoys the confidence of the Amer
lean people more than Judge Caldwell,
Of the United States Circuit court. 1t
is refreshing and instructing to listen
to his wise and patriotic remarks Just
at this time, and we call special atten-
ton to an interview which appeared
in the Denver News, and will be found
below:
Il have never for a moment doubted
the result of the silver fight, remarked
Judge Henry G. Caldwell, of the United
States Circuit court. 1.-The cause will
win. l do not say that it may win
but 1t will WIN added the distin-
guished juror, with an emphasis on the
will that resounded down the corri-
dor. The judge was sitting in the
private room Of Judge Hallett, where
he was engaged in friendly conversa-
ton with callers.
THE silver cause" said he, is a
righteous cause, and have an abiding
faith in the final judgment of the
American people. am not politician.
l have been on the bench too long to
think of ever taking an active part in
politics, but my sympathy is with Bry-
an and the cause he so nobly repre-
sents. In my opinion Bryan is one of
the most remarkable men of the times,
and so is Towne. If there is a more
eloquent and convincing orator in
America that that man Towne, have
certainly failed to hear him. Towne
leaves nothing further to be desired as
an orator."
Some people think you ought to go
into politics." remarked a listener to
the judge.
THAT would require an entire
change in my methods of life," replied
the judge, with an expression on his
face that indicated perhaps that the
suggestion might have been followed If
the person to whom it was addressed
were twenty-five years younger.
II have been very much interested in
watching the course of Bryan, and l do
not believe he has made any mistakes
since he was nominated last fall. He
seems to be growing stronger this year.
and I am glad to hear that he is maxi
ing money. He is man who will
make good use of money, and those
are the kind of men who ought to have
it. 1t requires brave man to take
the position Mr.. Bryan has assumed,
but he has never flinched. We need
never fear that the right kind of tim
Der will be found when the needs of
our country call for the material with
genuine ring about it. No intelligent
American citizen ought to doubt the
destiny which awaits this wonderful
country"

Chicago MARKET, OCT. 4.

The expected slump in Chicago
came to-day. At the opening Decem-
Der was quoted at 89aa Z I, but the last
named figure was the high point, and
a mass of selling orders sent the price
down rapidly to 8ss, May going a
quarter lower. A quick rebound above
88 followed, and for the next two
hours there was not much fuctuation,
88a being the top once more and 88
the low. It was expected that the
visible would show an increase of
100000 bushels, and when the fig
ures came l. ,651 900 there was some
buying which steadied the market.
The closing continental cables showed
Paris triae higher, while Antwerp
was unchanged. The clearances
we're light, wheat and -four amounting
to 29lJ 600 bushels. Primary receipts
we're not larger than looked for,
100000 bushels wheat against
l,623,O0O bushels a year ago, while
corn was 8l7 900 bushels as compared
with $4,000 the corresponding day in
1896. Corn became more in demand
after this showing and the feeling is
general that prices have seen their
worst on this crop.
The same is true of provisions.
There was better demand to-day in
all the options, purchases being made
chiefly through commission houses,
the pit traders selling. Friends of
provisions say the yellow fever is the
only thing in the way of higher prices
now. and after the first frosts which
cannot be far in the future, there will
be sharp advance, especially in ribs,
of which the south is great consum-
or.
Half an hour before the close there
was strong buying movement, prin-
cipally by shorts who ran on the re-
ported export of 100000 bushels. This
carried the price above 80.

RELICS OF THE PAST.
Asbestos and Gold Mines, Like In
dian Spots, Go 6Iimmering.


Some time ago local tourist con-

an interesting article on interesting
points west of here, including the
quarries, the asbestos and gold min

in part, as follows:
ave passed over the asbestos
property, where quantity of speci-
mems have been taken out but no fur

eye view of very fine stone quarry
where work was abandoned some
years ago on account of the distance
from the railroad.
"We then crossed the Minnesota
river and found ourselves in Renville
county, at the ruins of Browns old
castle.' Brown was an Indian trader
and built the stone structure which
we could see by the ruins must have
been very large. tits told of Brown
that he had eleven wives, all squaws,
and lived here before the outbreak.
At the time of the massacre Bro Nn
had narrow escape but was finally
saved through the efforts of a friendly
Indian and the ingenuity and cunning
of his squaw wives, but his home and
all his stock of furs was burned.

and were again in Redwood county.
Here, as we walked over the rocks, we
were shown what we might call the
"miIls of the gods" but were told that
they we're Indian mills. They are
large funnel-shaped holes in the rock,
from one to two feet deep, and it is
said that the Indians would put the
grain iuto these holes and with a rock
to grind or rub the corn, the mill was
complete.
