persons familiar with such records the fact that
they kept in a most !amentable condition. with
out uniformity and often without any protection
from fire. In the investigation of the records Of
town clerks it was found that many towns do not
have sufficient safe room for the accommodation
Of documents or record books. Records were found
stored away in boxes, in sheds and in barns, and
some town clerks keep the record book in current
in their own homes, where there is absolutely
n protection from fire. The condition of the pro-

The returns of the votes of the Presbyteries as
presented to this committee indicated
First-That there Is wish TO abandon the
Westminster Confession, since only fifteen out of
232 Presbyteries desire substitute creed.
Second-That large. number. 124 others out of
232, desire some supplementary explanatory
statement Of certain doctrines.
Third-That large number desire no action or a
dismissal the whole subject, SO out of 22 being

chiefly from ministers, and not from elders men,

HANNA IN INDIANA.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. Ex-senator
Hanna, chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, arrived from Chicago
on a special train today and addressed a
large crowd. The Senator was escorted
from the station to the speakers stand
by regiment of Rough Riders. He spoke
about fifty minutes Most of the factor
les of the city were closed for an hour
to enable the employees to hear Senator
Hanna. At 1'2O he left for Goshen.
LOCKPORT, n. Y, oct. 3l.-At Medina,
where his train stopped for twenty min
utes, Governor Roosevelt stepped from his
car to Il temporary platform. The rain
had ceased and the Governor occupied the
full time in addressing the crowd. He
devoted most of his attention to impe-
rialsm and militarism.
While the Governor was talking a man
in the audience said: Governor, l would
like to have you explain the trust ques-
ton"
What about the coal employees in
Pennsylvania asked another.
lone at time" said the Governor. "As
to the coal employees in Pennsylvania,
they have won a strike for an increase of
wages. DO you think they would have
won that strike four years ago?'
mo, no." shouted the crowd.
The Governor then discussed the trust
question at length, referring to Mr.. Bry-
ticles used by the trusts and the remedy
of the Republican party to get at the
evil by constitutional amendment.
In speaking of militarism, the Govern
or referred to the posts located near Os-
wego and Buffalo and said the sentiment
there was rather for an increase of the
soldiers stationed there. He cited the
fact that regulars had been stationed at
the forts around New York for lis years
and said:
Some little time ago a number of our
citizens got up petition to the War De-
partment to increase the number of sol
diers in these forts, because the existing
number was not enough to keep the big
guns Clean
II want TO ask" said he at the conclu-
sion of his remarks, ''if any OF you here
have ever seen single imperialist? l
n curtains to the Atlantic coast. l have
met lots of expansonists; j am one my
self"
Reaching Lockport. Governor Roosevelt
was driven In carriage TO the opera
house, which was filled, while hundreds
had been unable to gain admission. The
Governors address here was devoted In
large part to the question OF prosperity.
Now, as to Mr., Bryan's prophecies,
said the Governor. Here is exactly what
Mr. Bryan said In his Minneapolis
speech: The gold standard means dearer
money, cheaper property, harder times,
more people out OF work, more people des-
titute, more people desperate. and more
crime
Now look around In your own city, In
your own State, and compare with those

any better judges of the popular DRIFT

cry city and county and because of
close contact with all political leaders

touch with the trend of popular senti-
ment. For that reason the opinions OF
such newspapers, given at time when
pretty nearly every man has made up
his mind as. to how he is going to vote,
are of exceptional value. The Tribune

BRYAN'S GREENBACK IDEA.
IL Ii Similar to the National Debt
Paying Scheme Away Back
in 1868.

The Bryan financial scheme is appar-
emily the grand old idea that carried
the democracy of Ohio off their feet in
1868, and that was simply to print
enough greenbacks to pay of the ma
tional debt and have done with it.
This beautiful thought had a majority
In the convention that nominated Sey-
mour and Blair. The actual converse
ton referred to was this:
Energetic Greenbacker opened the
talk by saying: "Hello, you, here; don't
you think you want some more money?
Don't you think we all ought to have
some more money!"
Second Citizen Speaking mildly
Well, yes, think I'd like to have some
more money, and
Energetic Citizen and Leading Dem
ocrat-Well, then, why don't you help
us have it? What are you standing
around for? Why don't you come and
60 with us? You want more money,
and l want more money. If we all say
80 we can have it, can't we? Amt the
people going to rule this country any
more? If we say print the money
they'll print it, won't they? You be-
long right with us.
Second Citizen-But how about re-
deeming t? How about paying it upP
Stalward Democrat (again)-Redeem
I'll What the devil do you want to re-
deem it for? Let it wear out, and print
more of it!
Now, that was the grand old way of
paying the national debt in '5s. It
doesn't look unlikely that Mr.. Bryan
will have to make that the paramount
issue in this campaign after all, for
there will be wildfire in the woods
about the protectorate in the Philip
pines and the Monroe doctrine in Asia.
