MIR. BRYAN ON A TOUR.
He Addresses Large Audiences in
Montpelier and Defiance.

Montpelier and Defiance.
Van Vert, o., Oct. N-W. j. Bryan be-
gan a short campaigning tour in Ohio this
morning. He travelled in a private car.
The first meeting was at Montpelier,
where an audience of 5000 persons from
all parts of the country had assembled.
Mr.. Bryan questioned the honesty of the
vote Of Ohio last year and then took up
the silver question.
He said the republican party promised
last year to do what 1t could to get rid Of
the gold standard. He then reviewed the
work of the monetary commission which
President Mckinley sent TO Europe, and
said its mission had failed because the
money changers were opposed to It,
Mr. Bryan attributed the improved finan-
cial condition of the United States to the
discovery of gold in Alaska and to the
famine in India, which, he said, the re-
the famine resulted in the loss of thcus-
ans OF lives
From Montpelier. the train was hurried
to Defiance, where an afternoon meeting
was held There was large crowd at the
depot as the train arrived in Defiance, and
crowds had assembled at the stations
along the way. An audience of 5000 peo-
pie, q majority of whom were republi-
cans, 1t Is said listened to the Defiance
speech, which did not differ materially
from that delivered at Montpelier. The
applause was liberal, though IL was appa-
rent that Mr.. Bryan was less of an attrac-
tion than when, as a presidential candi-
date, he visited Ohio last fall.

LOWS BOOM LEAKING GAS.
Tracy's Followers Think Their Man
Sure winner.

New York. Oct. 27.-Followng a long
caucus of republican district leaders to-
day, Chairman Qulgg of the republican
committee, gave out the following state
ments:
THE republican organization has care
fully canvassed the vote in every election
district of every borough in the new city.
Several assembly districts have been can
vassed twice, and some have been canvass
ed three times. Each of those repeated
canvasses shows that Tracy's strength is
growing. and that Lows support which
has never been large, becomes smaller
every day. There are only two assembly
districts I'm New York city Ia which Mr..
Low will have any substantial republican
support The net effect of Mr.. Lows can
didacy will be to increase the majorities
of tho republican party over Van Wyck.
Lows vote will be smaller than Van
Wycls in each district. We shall carry
New York for Tracy by just about the
plurality over Van Wyck, which was OBJ
tanned by Gov. Black last year over Por-
ter.
I'm Brooklyn the situation Is similar to
the situation in New York, but the pro-
portion OF democrats 10 IepuDHcuHS IN
Lows following will naturally be smaller
than it is here. There the proportion will
be about half and half, the plurality for
Tracy over Van Wyck win be greater in
Brooklyn than In New York, and Is likely
to reach 10000
lows vote VIII. feave the two great
parties as to comparative strength, in
just about their normal conditions, but
Georges vote viii so reduce Van Wyck 5
as to give us for Tracy a frst-rate plu-
rality. On the conditions as they exist
to-day, Low might have in Brooklyn as
many as 10000, or, to be liberal, 5000
votes. But his republican support is rap
idly falling away from him. There are
thousands of republicans who have been
misled by the New York Tribune and the
New York Mail and Express, into the idea
that Low has some chance of election.
They are finding out now that this idea
is preposterous, and that 1t is being cir
culated by these newspapers maliciously
and dishonesty. This fact Is getting
abroad throughout the wards in Brook
lyn, where the Low boom has been in
hated, with the natural result that the
gas is going out Of the boom, and the boom
Is colapsing.
Gen. Daniel e. Sickles to-day announce
ed that he would vote and work for Gen.
Tracy and the whole republican ticket"

NO FEVER IN FLORIDA.
The Land of Flowers Declared to BE
Free of the Disease.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. H.-Judging from
kilograms and letters received by officials
of transportation lines leading to Florida,
much erroneous opinion exists as to the
health conditions Of the state, owing to
the prevalence of yellow fever in other
states on the Gulf.
Florida is patrolled by yigilant and ac-
tive representatives of the state board of
health. and It can be stated upon the most
positive authority that not single symp-
tom or suspicious case of fever exists
within the Florida border.
A most rigid quarantine is in effect
against all infected points in states to the
west of Florida and not a sigle case OF
yellow fever has been recorded In the
state for a number of years, or since the
establishment of the methods adopted by
the state board.

a goodly number of grangers. The
deliciously prepared food and taste
fully arranged tables at this dinner
were good testimonials of the fact
that the sisters know how to cook, if
they do have a day in town for
Grange meeting every two weeks.
The program arranged by Ceres for

tions presented furnished thoughts
for the thoughtful. Good advice was
given by Worthy Master Campbell in
a selection, by |. 2. Booth in u few
we'll chosen remarks, and by Worthy
Secretary Small in an original paper.
Songs by Lulu Douglas, Alice Church
i'll and Mrs. Levi Gile, were very much
enjoyed, the latter being encored, re-
sponded with a temperance song, ac-
comparing herself on the autoharp.
One application for membership was
received.
Next evening meeting will be Fri
day, Nov. s.. The committee who
have had this in charge have spared
no pains to prepare a pleasing pro-
gram and for greater attraction ice
cream and cake will be conspicuous.

A slight turn from the long period

dynamo, as described to us, is capa-

nearer twice that number of lights

Would that all HalIOweens might
pass so nicely and really enjoyably,
as did last Saturday night, in Nor
risville. To be sure there vas a little
of this usual sort of thing in the line
of piIing up rubbish, changing signs,
etc, but not bad at that. AS the
chief and very unique and successful
attraction of the evening twenty or
more of the students in the Academy
made a solemn agreement, and by
the terms of that agreement twenty
Or more young men and young ladies
met at the home of Oscar Gates on
Park street.
The young ladies were to be al
lowed to depart from the above
named place at seven O'Clock, and at
eight O'Clock the Young men could
sally forth in search of the fair dam
sells, and if at nine O'Clock they had
not found them, the young men must
furnish the suppers. On the other
hand the young ladies must furnish
the suppers if they were found before
the clock struck nine. They were
not to enter any dwelling house, and
must remain hidden together in one
place and we're given territory slight
ly within the limits Of the village
corporation.
The program, as arranged, was
fully carried out, the young men
made frantic endeavOrs to unearth
the Misses, who, it must be admitted
were very sly, and very, very unusu-
ally quiet. 1t seems they sauntered
in one by one around the rear Of The
Randall, made for ii h~atchway door
left invitingly open, aud huddled to-
gether, whist as mice, in the base
ment under Waterman's store, com
ing forth like a cyclone upthe ladder,
out from the t%rap-dOOr and through
the store, after their hour had safely
passed and all much to the chagrin
of the young men, who had imagined
that they had a dead easy" thing
of It,.
Into The Randall they went and at
q little before ten O'Clock they were
seated at a sumptuOus repast pro-
vided by Landlord Randall. The
young men paid the bills and reg
istered as from "Wayback," while
the young women, immensely pleased
with their easy victory, registered as
from "Wayahead." The party was
