a denomination for second place. He
said that silver would he leading is

Hicks Forecasts for November.

Falling barometer, warmer, south
erly winds, ending in cloudiness and
rain, may be expected from 1st to 3rd
reaching crisis of high temperature
and storminess about time of new
moon on 3rd. Close following these
storms a cold wave AND snow will
dominate most of the country up to
about the 9Th. During the 18th and
9Th a reaction from boreal, anti storm
conditions will set in-warmer wealth
er will spread from west to east, the
barometer will fall and more rain,
turning to snow will visit many Sec
tions over central and northern states.
Heavy autumnal storms and gales
probable between the 18th and 14th.
Full moon On the 17th-the 18th to 10th
being reactionary storm period. A
November blizzard of sleet and snow,
over the northern half of the country
will prevail about these dates. A gen.
eral cold wave should be looked for at
the elimination of this period, lasting
up to about the 23rd.
During the Vulcan storm period, ex-
tending from the 2Srd to the 9th, the
barometer will again fall. and all the
conditions of precipitation and stormi-
ness will return. The low barometer
and warmth will eliminate, especially
southwark, in lightning and thunder
on and next to the 18th, after which
high winds and cold will rush down
from the north and west. The last
two days of the month will bring re-
turn of falling barometer, higher tenn
perature and tendency to general rain
and snow.

HANNA'S PLATFORM FOR 1900.

Mark Hanna says the issue in 1860
will be "full dinner buckets, protection,
an unchanged currency and expan-
slon." AS Mark claims the country
is more prosperous than ever in its his
tory, we are surprised that he would
compromise on dinner buckets"
Why not substitute baskets, or let the
working man 60 home to dinner? Are
we to have full ''dinner buckets" with
no provision for breakfast and supper?
On the other hand how can he expect
the men in his immediate employ to
have full ''dinner buckets when he
pays them such poor wages. "Un-
changed currency" is very timt ly, be
cause the Republican party was elect
ed on platform pledged to change it
and this they have refused to do. Pro-
lection also fits the case, as it means
to protect the trusts 10 the detriment
OF the people AS to expansion, Mark
had better get his own party in line
On this issue, before he orders it in the
platform next year. Mark may con,

we are here to tell him that there are
others just as warm.

Senator John w. Daniel, who is and

From an Arkansas newspaper We
gather the information that the Deaf

that State, which was burned some
time ago, did not have dollar g worth
of insurance on it and that the loss of
$3.50, 900 by the fire is a total one. We
are also advised in this same paper
that at the last session of the Legisla
ture in Arkansas bill was offered to
appropriate 81, 900 annually to insure
the deaf and blind building, but that
it was defeated by penny wise states

SENATOR DANIEL NOT FOR BRYAN.

We reproduce in this issue of The
SPECTATOR a statement from Senator
John W. Daniel relating to the next
nominee for the presidency by the
Democratic party. Senator Daniel,
according to this interview, creates
the impression that if Kentucky and
Ohio 60 Republican Mr.. Bryan will
not be the logical candidate in 1900.
This is a most remarkable utterance
for Senator Daniel to make. when 1t is
known that Ohio is Republican State
ard seldom, if ever, goes Democratic
Does the Senator mean to say that he
will forsake the noble champion of the
plain people in case Republican State
goes Republican? We can hardly be-
lieve that this is the John w. Daniel
of 1892 and 1896. In the first named
year there were very few States that
favored David 3. Hill over Mr.. Cleve-
land as the Democratic candidate, but
Notwithstanding this our senior sena-
tor fought for Mr.. Hill night and day.
He did not then rely on the decision of
one State to decide whether he and his
friends should stick to Hill OF go to
Cleveland. Then, too, in 1896 our
"idclized SENATOR was one of the
leaders, who were instr umental in
shaping the platform and naming Mr..
Bryan. We ask him in all candor 10
make an explanation and give the PEG
pie reason why they should forsake
Mr.. Bryan simply because Mark Hanna
is able to purchase the venal vote in
his State and throw it in line with the
administration. The columns of THE
SPECTATOR are open to Senator Daniel
for statement.

TALKING THROUGH ITS HAT.

Last Monday Congressman Swanson
showed up at Staunton, ostensibly to
speak for Bryan and Democracy, but
really to open his campaign for the
Governorship two years hence and to
serve notice no doubt ON Lieutenant
Governor Echols that he Swanson, is
in the Gubernatorial nomination and
to defy EchOls and all others. From
the short notice of Swanson's speech,
published elsewhere, it would seem to
be an endorsement of the Democrats
in this State and of the Republicans in
the nation.
The above is an editorial paragraph
from the Fredericksburg Free Lance,
a newspaper tina. boasts over its policy
to print the truth and nothing but the
truth, yet this item has about as much
truth and reasoniinit as Mark. Hanna
Ohio platform on trusts. Mr$ Swan
son came to Staunton solely for the
purpose of speaking for Todd ana
Churchman. the Democratic candi-
dates for the Legislature, and that,
too, over his protest, as he was anx-
ious to be In Judge Mann's senatoriai
district on the day he was here. as
Judge Mann has q fight on his hands,
while In Augusta the opposition to the
Democratic party has about the same
show for success as did Palmer aud
Buckner in 1896. Regarding the stu
alton in this ligSt and being a Demo-
crat Mr.. Swanson wanted to SO where
there is a battle, but our people pre-
vailed upon his coming and he came,
He had no notice TO serve on Mr.,
Echols, because that gentleman has
not stated whether he will be n can
didate for governor, nor has Mr..
Swanson, himself, decided to enter the
contest for governor. The brilliant
young congressman informed THE
SPECTATOR, in reply to the direct
question, that be had not made up his
mind regarding the contest for COVER
nor, nor would he consider the matter
for a year hence.
Coming to what the Free Lance says
of Mr.. Swanson's speech We must say
that there was not word spoken in
praise of the Republican party, or any
person belonging thereto. He gave
out facts touching the admirable man.
ner in which the Democratic party
had managed State affairs, and closed
his able address with an endorsement
of Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. He arraigned the Republican
party, as it deserved, and rebuked all
this gush OF Mckinley about trade fol-
lowing the flag by declaring that trade
followed the price list. The Free Lance
is simply off its base.
