Hanna's Way,
Governor Altgeld, after six weeks
stumping tour Of tho middle west' said
in Now York: "Wo have discovered
q plot engineered by Mark Hanna and
othor Republican campaign managers
to buy up tho eloction officers in tho
doubtful states particularly in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Despite
this conspiracy and despite the raising
of from $25, 900, 600 to $50, 900, 600 to
carry it into effeot, | sincerely bolievo
that Bryan and Stevenson will sweep
the country, and that Mckinley will
lose his own states of Ohio, by at least
5O, 600 plurality. In the west tho Mo-
Kinley- Hanna managers are aeeking to
bribe election ofioors to falsify the
returns. You will reoall that in 1898
thoro we're returned from tho state of
Odio over "a, ,00C moro votos than there
were males Of twonty-one years Of ago

Of Ohio four years ago. But he will
not bo robbed this year. The Demo.

that there is on honest ballot and fair
count thoro and elsewhere, regardless
OF the hugo corruption fund collected
by Mark Hanna and his agents."

Engineer Charles E. Combs, of Chari-

popular engineers running through Leon
on the Charlton and st. Joe branch of
the @, met with serious and what
might have been a fatal accident while
out hunting Friday. He was out by
himself and when going through barb
ed wire fence the gun exploded and dis
charged the entire load into his left arm
just below the shoulder. A farmer boy
who was mending fence in the neigh.
borhood heard the shot and saw him
fall. He ran to his assistance and got
him home, where the doctors examined
his arm and found the bone shattered
to fragments and advised amputation.
Mr.. Combs finally consented to the
operation being performed and is now
doing as nicely as could be expected.
If the shot had struck a tride to the
right it would have killed him.
