WV YORK SAFE.

A gentleman WhO has recently re-
turned from a trip to New York bears
most eueOuraging news for the demo-
erals. He WIS In the city for . num-
Der Of days and me, many Of the most
prominent men Of the state. His tes-
timony Is unbiased and coming from a
nan We all know Is more valuable than
eurreHt newspaper report.
In talking with him be said; al
End the conditions in New York most
encouraging for the democratic parry.
In talking to many Of the conservative
business men Of the city | ind that the
sentiment Is largely for Bryan and il Is
conceded that the city viii 60 demo-
cratic by al least 100, 900 majority. 1t
is estimated that the republicans wall
come TO the city with 6 majority Of
$1,000, thus leaviSg a clear majority
for the democratic ticket Of $4,000.
This lis 4 very conservative estimate
and many place the msjonty for the
democrats At much higher figures.
The greatest change I notice is In
the change of sentiment among con-
sentative men. In 1896 these men
were all for Mckinley and looked upon
Bryan as = dangerous q Now the
conditions are reversed and Bryan has
the cordial support of nearly every on
sentative man with whom | talked.
Bryan is looked upon as an honest and
patriotic man and Mckinley's attitude
on the Philippine question And the
trusts is looked upon with dread. The
party in New York Is united and leAv-
ing nothing undone that al be done to
carry the state for Bryan. All local
differences have been patched up or
put on the shelf until some future date
and there a be no doubt about New
York. 1t is no longer q doubtful state,
bat will assurely cast It's Sc votes for
Bryan.
Not only is this true 10 New York
but 1t is true all through the east.
That is no longer the enemy's territory,
nor even neutral ground. II is decide
ly democratic. The strike in PepDsyl-
yania will have large influence In that
part Of the county and is making votes
for Bryan at . marvellous rate. Know
ing this would be the case Il has leaked
out in New York that the Republican
national committee sent several prom
inent republicans to see the coal oper-
stors and begged them to patch up q
truce with the miners until after the
election. While It will not make Penn
q democratic or even q doubt
ful state, ii will aus q remarkable
decrease in the usual republican
majority.

KANSAS CITY DEMOCRACY


The state committee met IN Kansa.
City this week and made an attempt 10
unraEel the iangle that has resulted
from the recent nominating convention
10 tina. county. 10 order that every
thing might be fair a new primary was
ordered and neither side given q de-
cision. This primary is 10 be conduct
ed under the direction Of the state
committee and its returns will be abso-
lutely reliable and unbiased. There
was no other way out Of the difficulty
and both sides should be content 10 &C
cept the verdict.
But the Shannon faction has de.
clared It's intention Of carrying this
matter into court and refuses to abide
By the results of the new primary. An
attempt will be made to place their
ticket on the official ballot, despite the
state committee. The Pendergast fac
ton, on the other hand, agrees to the
new election. We know nothing Of
either faction and only have an interest
10 their troubles in so far as 1t affects
this district. To an outsider It looks as
though the Pendergast faction is
acting in good faith and is more de-
serving the sympathy Of the people
and the party but, however that may
be, the democrats Of Lafayette county
have a special right to be heard in
this matter and we take this means Of
expressing what we know TO be the
sentiment Of a large proportion Of our
people.
The democratic party Is bigger than
either Shannon or Pendergast and
while we would not feel the loss OF
either or both Of them we cannot
afford 10 LET them be the cause Of a
defeat IN this congressional district.
We don't & whether Jackson county
cuts itself out OF democratic officials
or not, but we do care whether It cuts
the 9Th district out Of a congressman.
Mr.. cowherd IL worth more than all
the ShannonS and Pendergasts you
could put in a ten acre lot and The
democracy Of Lafayette county,
democracy that is always loyal, that
never shirks and always rolls up a
democratic majority has a right TO de-
mand and does demand that these men
and factions settle their differences be-
tween themselves. y.
Lafayette county is not enamored Of
her position IN this district, at best,
Jackson makes the nominations and
has everything else her own way and
about all We can say for her Is that she
has given Us a good Congressman. So
far as be is concerned there Is no de-
sire for a change. but we object to
jackson county turning round and de.
festing her own nominee. n the party
Is not big enough for Joe Shaonon and
Jim Pendergast, turn 'em out, and IL
there are any Others 10 the same fix,

Il should be noticed thai In thsil
fantastic stories Of wage advances IN.
der Mckinley the republican organ
and orators are not quoting the indus.
trial statistics OF Massachusetts, Anc
Pennsylvania, the two great protect.
ed states. The oversight is singular.
For in Massachusetts, and Pennsyl.
vania these statistics are gathered BY
republican officials from republican,
sources and II the figures be colored ii
all they a hardly be suspected Of a
democratic tinge. Yet singularly
enough they bear out the general dem
ocratie contention that the tremend-
Gus advance IN wages proclaimed by
the prosperity shoulers Is q pure fc-
ton.
For Illustration let US briefly refer
to the Pennsylvania report Of 1898. II
was issued by the department Of H.
ternal affairs and that department is
wholly under republican control. All
It's agents are republican and nearly
all the people from whom it gained lie
information are republicans. The re-
port Of 1898 gives comparative stats.
tics for s0l identical establishments,
representing lOl industries, for the
years 1896, 1897 and 1898. 1t gives
also statistics for a smaller number Of
identical establishments for each year
since 1892. For the sol establish
ments the following figures are given.
1896. 1897. 1898.
Average days
operation, ssS s7s 2ss
Average anil
earnings. s4O4.99 sa-s AZ ssos.Os
Average daily

This shows that 10 these sol repre-
sentative establishments The employees,
though working on an average is
more days in 1898 than 10 1896, drew
$1,000 less pay. The statistics Of S5s
establishments since 1892 are even
more Illuminating. The figures follow.
