found himself the target OF revolvers In
the hands OF three men. The desperadoes
retreated rapidly as they fired and none
of their shots reached the intended mark.
Meanwhile Mr.. Nixon had taken hand
in the fusilade, but with no better sue
cess than the robbers. The robbers made
good their escape. leaving large lot OF
tools behind including heavy crow bar
and axe, a large lever and other imple-
ments the nature of which Indicated the
men were professionals.

Absorbed by Democracy.

News announcing the disorgani-
cation of the Silver Republican
party is one surprise even to the
casual observer of things political.
The term Silver Republican was a
misnomer. The wing of the. Re-
publican party who in 1896 went off
on the free Silver movement at first
professed Republicanism, except on
the money question, but since that
time the drift ofthe few who remain
ed was toward democracy, and in
the campaign just passed there was
no distinguished difference in the
party creeds. The name was main
tained for the effect it might have
on a few blind followers, but in pur-
pose, Towne, Dubois and others
have been absorbed in the ranks of
democracy. The official call mere
ly throws off the mask and merges
the stragglers into the Democratic
ranks. Ninty five per cent of the
Republicans who followed those
leaders have already returned to the
Republican party. A few others
will yet return, but Towne, Dubois,
Pettigrew and others will continue
in the Democratic party. Silver Re-
pnblicanism has gone the way of
all third party movements and dis
organized and disintegrated, its
followers will drift into other party
afiliations.-Lewiston ZekLer.-
