Strength Nearly Doubled In thu Min-
ing states within the Last
Two Years.

The mining group of states is usually
made to Include Colorado, Nevada. Utah.
Montana and Idaho. Colorado, Nevada
ceeds all others in the product of cop
per, and Idaho ranks second among the
states in the product of lead. The re-
lation of minerals to one another under
modern methods OF mining is such that
the production of one metal goes hand
in hand necessarily with that of anoth-
CIR, and as n consequence both Idaho
and Montana have large silver prod
ucts. All five OF these states In the ST.
Louis republican convention of 1896
were favorable TO the consideration of n
silver plank in Difference TO their local
interests. and in them there was a
formidable revolt of the silver repub-
leans, as they call themselves. In that
convention the votes of these five states
were east solidly against the platform
adopted, and on the balloting for pres
ident the Colorado delegates, the Idaho
delegates and some of the Nevada.
Utah and Montana delegates refused TO
participate, withdrawing 10 take part
In the silver republican convention,
which Endorsed the nomination of Bry-
an and Sewall. In rhe election succeed
ing Bryan carried Colorado by $4,000
majority; Idaho by 10000 In total
vote OF less than 10000; Nevada by $500
in total vote OF 10000; Montana by
30, 900 in a total vote of $4,000, and Utah
by a plurality of $1,000 in total OF
06, 600
These five states, under such condi-
tions, did not furnish very encourage
ing outlook for the republican party at
succeeding elections, the first detection
of populists from the republicans hay-
ing been followed by n subsequent and
larger detection OF republicans TO the
silver republican party, the votes OF
which made possible the large majori-
ties in the presidential election OF 1896.
Though without influence upon the re-
suit OF the presidential election Of 1896,
these five states have ten Of the United
States senator's, besides six representa-
tives in congress in the lower house.
The obstacles to republican success in
them seemed two years ago 10 be nj
most insurmountable, but the republic
ans, adhering TO determination 10 re-
gain the ground which they had lost,
set themselves about the task OF re-
storing their broken column by recov-
ering former supporters or gaining
new recruits. In Colorado there was,
In 1897, an election for judicial Office
only. hi Idaho there was no contest.
In Montana there was no election in
1897; neither was there one in Nevada
or Utah. The republicans had therefore
two years 10 recover lost ground, and
how we'll they did it is TO be seen In the
following table OF votes in these five
states, comparing the republican vote
in each in the presidential election

Mortem Examination.

Chicago, Feb. 2.--George Rogers, who
was known in the vicinity in which he
lived as the "bogie man." died Wednes-
day in the county hospital Of a rare dis
ease which the physicians have called
acromegaly dwelling of the bones)
His hands and feet were greatly swollen
ard his jaw was over four times the
formal length. The distance from the
frontal bone to the chin in the ordi-
nary man Is eight TO ten inches, and in
Rogers this had grown TO 20 inches.
Although refined and educated man,
he was so sensitive over his appearance
that he withdrew from his friends and
family and lived in barn in an obscure
part Of the city. He was taken from
the barn to the hospital in a starving
condition, and after his death his broth
er-in-law, at Rogers request caused his
body to be cremated in order that the
doctors might not hold postmortem
examination.

SENATOR GRAY ON M'KINLEY
A Handsome Tribute To the President
from Democratic
Statesman.

Some democrats have sneered at
and reviled the president. They have
not been as bitter and malignant, how
ever, as the mugwumps. They declare
OF Mckinley that there Is no good in
him" Some Of them call him feeble, +"

holder men. Others charge him with

course fatal TO the liberties of the re.

warded. In pleasing contrast 10 oil
this abuse is the statement concerning
the president made by Senator Gray in
his remarks at Wilmington n few days
ago. Tie was one OF the commissioners
who negotiated the treaty OF Paris.
That brought him into close relations
with the president. As n result OF his
intimate knowledge OF the man he says:

A gain from $4,000 TO 10000 is very
nearly, though not quite, 100 per cent.
in two years. When this gain is con-
sidered in connection with the fact that
the election OF 1896 was n presidential
contest, at which full vote was polled.
and that the election OF 1898 was a
state contest, at which congressman
were the only federal officers voted
for, Il will be seen that the republican
vote was even more important than 81

determination OF the republican lead

suffered most severely from the silver

their party associates before the next
national presidential election, and in
advance of the next republican national
conventions; and they have done so in
