WHY HE Is FOR BRYAN.
a Travelling Man Tells How the To-
buccO Trust Crushed Him.


BALTIMORE. Oct 13.-T. ]. Bloeher,
who resides at sc South Fulton Avenue,
says: 81 was for thirteen years one of the
travelling men employed By the P. j. Sarg
Company. Midd1etown. Ohio. manufactur-
ers Of plug tobacco. This company had
the third largest factory of its kind in the
United States. At the last meeting Of
the travelling men of the company eighty
five assembled from all parts of the coun-
try. The company paid our expenses and
entertained US while we met They gave
US great 'send-off' for the work We were
doing, and urged US to continue our activ-
ity in pushing the sale of the company 3
product. 1t was hardly more than year
when the Continental Tobacco Company
absorbed our factory.
This company is the twin company of
the American Tobacco Company and con-
trolls the plug tobacco manufacture, WhNe
the latter controls other branches OF tie
business
The first intimation that our factory
had been gobbled by the trust was in the
discharge of seyenty-eight of our eighty
FIVE travelling men. was one Of the sew
en- retained.
Not long after this four more were
dropped and only three were kept out of
four to CO. We were not given much of
a chance to get other work. We could not
go into the same line of business, for that
was shut off from US by the trust o. the
400 travelling men who were dropped by
the four leading plug tobacco factories
most Of them were not even given the
courtesy of a notification of their dis
charge by letter. short telegram was
all that they got to let them know that
the avenue Of employment, for which to fit
themselves they had spent years Of hard
work. had been forever closed to them.
Before the trust took possession of the
business l was able TO earn $4,000 a year
out of which l paid my expenses and had
about 81 800 left. This was S150 month.
Now the trust employs what are termed
missionaries to work up business and pays
them $50 q month Even with this enor-
nous reduction in operating expenses the
dealers pay as much, il not more. for their
goods
There are others who are sufferers
through the trusts policy. The railroads
lose a big and profitable business. the ho
tells miss the best class of their customers.
and the cities all over the country that
benefited in some way from the visits OF
the hustling travelling man are out Of

goods. And there are thousands just like
myself in every part OF the country. Trav-
cling men know how 20 hustle and win
things and they are out strong for the
election of the Democratic ticket
Mr. Blocher Travelled for his company in
Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. He was
born in Cumberland. and since his en-
forced retirement from the work to which
he devoted most OF his business career, he
has been keeping a small tobacco store at
SIS North Howard Street.

Stultz. OF this place has sent to Mr. Bry-
an the left hindfoot of a graveyard rabbit.
Mr. StuItz killed the rabbit himself in the
graveyard at TazeweIl at sundown within
ten steps of the spot where. in 1892. he
killed a rabbit. the left hindfoot of which
he sent to Mr. Cleveland prior to his cleo
tion.
Tho little gift for Mr. Bryan was tied
with a blue ribbon by Miss Ella Hawkins
in the same room where. in 1892 her sis
ter tied a similar ribbon on the rabbit s
foot which was then sent TO Mr. Cleve-
land Mr.. Stuitz is a thorough believer in
the good luck attributed to the left hind
foot Of a graveyard rabbit and thinks that
his good luck in finding the rabbit within
four minutes after he entered the grave
yard is a sure sign Of success for Mr. Bry-
an, just as his success in getting the rab-
bit eight years ago was an omen OF CleYe-
lands success.

PosTMEN ELEcTIoNEERING.
One Makes Regular Campaign
Speech at a Local Hotel.


Complaints are being received from
citizens. that the mail carriers have at
tempted to do campaign work in connec-
tion with their duties in delivering let
ters. 1t is asserted that carriers have
gone out OF their way in haranging patrons
OF the service, and have carried on
regular propaganda in the interests OF the
Republican party The thing has become
a nuisance TO many people who believe
that the action Of the carriers has been
inspired by the Republican campaign man
ayers. II is felt that the carriers would
not consent to make themselves obnoxious
unless some strong political influence has
compelled them 10 do so.
One case in particular is cited, where,
IT is alleged. carrier delivering mail TO
hote; has been accustomed to stand
around in the lobby and make stump
speeches for Mckinley so long as he can
get listeners. II is declared that he has
gone so far as to call the guests together
in the parlor, and fguratiyely holds them
down while he told them the beauties of
Republican policy, and the desirability of
keeping Mr.. Mckinley in power His
hearers were at first amused at the spell
binding, but later were annoyed at the
insistence OF the carrier He seemed to
have no limits to his garrulity, and was
ready to continue his Spelling as long
as q single auditor renamed. Guests OF
the hotel are not SO much inclined to
blame the carrier as to censure the cam
paign bosses who inspired him.

NO MARRIED woMEN AS CLERKS
They Cannot vote. and Out They
Must Go.

They Cannot vote. and Out They
Must Go.
The purpose of the present Adminfstra-
tion to force 'votnen clerks out CT thu
service of the government on being mar
ried has been iLstaneed. The latest suf-
ferer is Mrs. John j. Williams. one CT the
clerks in the postoffice at indianapolis.
The young woman was postmfstress at
Irvington, one Of the suburbs of the HOO
sier capital, until that office was aboi-
ished several months ago Then she was
given a clerkship in the Indianapolis Of
ice. Three weeks ago she was married
to John ]. Williams. The Republican au-
thori.ies heard OF it at once. and in view
of the political uncertainty in Indiana
they lost 10 tir1@ in demanding that she
be dis.harged, in order to give place to
some voter who could be depended upon
to cast his ticket for Mckinley. Pest
master McGinnis. who had high opinion
of Mrs. Williams ability, tried in vain to
retain her in her position. The depart
ment authorities here ruled that she
must get out at once.
The nominal reason that has bsen as
signed by the Postofhee authorities for
their action is that on being married
every woman clerk should look to her
husband for support. and is not jus lied
IN remaining in the Government service.
They point to a case in Lexington. KY,
where as it happened two of the clerks
were married. The woman was charged
with being SO trained by her husband
that she was quite beyond the control of
the postmaster. In that way the disci-
pline OF the office was impaired. In or
der to correct the alleged abuse. the OIL
Gals decided on the arbitrary method of
making all women clerks resign after
entering married life.
The rule was the creation OF Perry
Heath, former First Assistant Postmas-
ter General The ruling was upheld by
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith Mr. Smith, who, even at that
date, was casting his eye forward to the
present campaign, had little use for en-
ployes who were not able to vote, and he
was on the alert to replace them with
Republican partisans whose ballots could
be depended upon. His order requ-r ng
resignation after marriage was part of
that scheme.
