AN INSTANCE OF
Z POLITICAL FEELING.
A Family of Democrats in the
West and Their Voting.

Edwin M. Ware, formerly of this
city, now OF st. Paul, Mimi, has
been visiting Bridgeton, and meeting
many of his friends with whom be
was most intimately acquainted.
- Mr.. Ware is engaged in the insur-
ance and real estate business with
his son Howard, and has been most
successful, and is now one of the sub
stantial business men of that -four
] ishing Western city. His younger
Nson, Edwin is President of flourish
ing financial 1nstitutfon of st. Paul.
When here, Mr.. Ware was engaged
in the grocery business with Ed. m.
Fithian, and later conducted the
same business on West Commerce
street, in the store where r. ESrl.er
& Son are located.
-a1Mr. Ware talks Interestingly of the
West, and it's wonderful growth and
the magnificent prosperity that is
enjoyed by it's people. What he says
of the political situation is of Ire
greatest interest, and illustrates
something of the feeling that the
Democrats of the country have in
the present national campaign. AS
is remembered by all who knew hil,
Mr.. Ware, and his sons. when hele,
were loyal, earnest Democrats, a
Mr.. Ware and his son Howard took
an active interest in politics. Taev
are still Democrats of the patriotic
school, but not one of the fan "
will vote for Mr.. Bryan. They will
do exactly the reverse, and vote
directly for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Mr.. Ware, in speaking of politics,
said, turning over the lapel of his
coat and showing underneath little
bow of old gold ribbon, "that signi-
fies an allegiance to President Nc
Kinley, and the principles of the Re-
publican party" Bantering, he ex-
planned that he, together with hun
dreds of Democrats of his personal
acquaintance, greatly feared the men
ace Of Organism, and in the interests
of business and the prosperity of the
country, would refuse to support him.
He explained the nature of his busi-
ness, and said thai it brought him in
contact personally with very large
number of people. and then he made
this emphatic declaration: 81 do
not know of single business man of
my acquaintance, East or West, who
will support William J. Bryan. On
the contrary, they greatly fear the
possibilities of his election, and to
insure his positive and overwhelming
defeat, will vote for President Nc
Kinley.''
Those who have known. Mr.. Ware
will realize something of the impor-
tance of this declaration. They
know him as a Democrat, and his
SONS the same. They know him in
his present position in the business
world and know that his acouain-
tanceship is large. They do not
know him as politician, for that he
is not and when he says he does not
know of one of his acquiantanceship
who will vote for Mr.. Bryan, it is az
once apparent that there is settled
conviction among the men of busi-
ness that the election of Mr. Bryaa
is positive menace to the prosperity
of the country.

PLENTIFUL ARE
THE OYSTERS.
Philadelphia Takes Million
Oysters Each Week.


Where do all the oysters 90? A
question often asked, and not easily
answered so that it is plainly under
stood. But there is always good
market for good oysters. The Phila-
delphia Inquirer presents a very in.
teresting news item regarding the
oysters used there. Here it is in
iull:
"Oysters will be abundant this sea-
son" was the prediction of the deal
er at the opening of the season, and
the large quantities on Delaware ave-
nue. and other places of oyster mart,
stamps the dealer an oyster prophet.
Lovers of the succulent bivalve, the
king-pi of all shellfsh, will have an
abundance of sweet and fat oysters.
This will be the season of the full
oyster pail.
Philadelphians are accredited the
greatest power in consuming oysters.
Over million come here each week
| during the season. About hundred
Thousand day are shipped from
here to less favored localities. They
are even exported to Europe from
this city. The freight charges to
Liverpool are no higher than the
railroad tariff to st. Louis, conse-
quently many thousands are shipped
across the Atlantic, every season.
Most of the varieties received in
this city now, are Cape May Salts.
Maurice River Coves, Cherrystones,
Rockaways, Shrewsburys, East River
Kills, Oak Islands, Blue Points and
Buzzard's Bays. Blue Points no long
er come from any particular spot,
| but signify large, long, tir m, sweet
| favored oyster emanating from vari-
GUS localities. e
Maurice River Coves, Blue Points
and Cape May Salts are the most
popular oysters sold in this city, and
Maurice River furnishes the local
market with the bulk of the supply.
While single female oyster will
yield from ten to sixty thousand
young, the infant mortality is most
awful. Up to April the oyster farm
er cultivates the growth of his pros
pective crop. Prior to that he has
procured his seed oysters, paying IS
cents buShel for from 1900 to 20O0
seed oysters. These seed oysters are
carefully planted in beds where old
oyster and scallop shells and small.
scaly rocs will afford them 'clutch''
or anchorage. They are planted at
the rate of about fifty bushels to the
acre.
The oyster dealer does not know
why this year the oyster crop should
be more abundant than the crop of
other years. 1t just happens that
way, is said by nearly all of them.
Very likely it is because the infant
mortality has decreased this year.
The same quantity of seed oysters
were planted this year, so the enor-
nous increase remains unsolved.
Down along Delaware avenue, from
Callowhill street to Dock, the bulk of
the oyster dealers in this city have
their headquarters. There are more
than two-score oyster sloops-plain,
floating structures. About hundred
sloops and schooners come up the
Delaware every day during the height
of the season.
