THE SAME OLD ENEMY.
Hon. Joseph H. Manley's Letter To
Commercial Travellers.

New York, October 23.-There was a
large gathering at the noon meeting to-
day of the commercial Travellers Sound
Money league Many OF those present

that the principal speaker would be
Hon, Joseph H. Manley Of Maine.
Pressing engagements in connection with
the Republican campaign In other locali-

being present. A letter OF regret was
read in which he says In part;
'This year we are lighting the same
old enemy, the same old candidate, the
same old party with the same old issues.
For one, rejoice that belong to party
that does not nurse every disappoint-
ment, that does not rejoice over flood,
hurricane, tornado, failure Of crops,
strikes, panics, bankruptcy and general
disasters that does not feed on palsy,
plague and fever all combined, but rather
to party that Is full of faith and hope"

''All three men were drowned on the

This is the tenth anniversary of the

land or Queen Cathrine's Of Russia.
She found the man Of her choice, and
asked him to be hers, and he is, albeit
not particularly happy over it as the
