Report on Gern,n yotc.-an of,ei

Report on German yotc.-An official
of the Administration of high standing
made some Submissions yesterday of i'm
portance with regard to that indeiermina-
BILE factor called the German vote. This
official. it seems was charged by Presl-
dent Mckinley himself a few weeks ago
with a special Emission to make careful
investigation no the German vote and
report results as soon as possible. 1t is
said that he is now formulating a report
for the Presidents exclusive perusal. The
gentleman is supposed TO have unusual IA
cilities for the work assigned MIN. and
has made something of specially of the
subject. His value in that line OF work was
abundantly demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of Mr. Hanna AMI the other
party managers in the last campaign.
Therefore, what this gentleman says on
this particular subject may be considered
almost ex cathedral The importance Of his
conclusions from the Democratic viewpoint
is that they indicate more pronounced in
disposition among GermanAmericans to
cooperate with the Republicans than has
ever before had to be commended with by
the managers of that party. In brief, the
Presidents special commissioner reports
that the main reliance of the party on the
servatism in the broad sense of that term.
He admits that they are very greatly
stirred up by the issues Of imperialism
and militarism, but expresses the conf
dent belief that the old bogy of 16 to l
will keep in line the great bulk of Ger
man Americans whose natural predilec-
tons are Republican. This is what he
means by their conservatism. He has
taken no account of the vitality important
fact that nearly the whole OF the German
press is now. for the first time, arrayed on
the side of the Democrats. This assertion
does not apply to the dailies OF the big
cities of the middle West, which have al
ways been Republican, but to that vastly
more influential section of the German
press published in the smaller towns. with
an aggregate circulation much larger than
that of all the city papers combined. On
the whole, however, there is mucn en-
enlargement to Democrats in the results
OF the investigation made by Mr.. McKin-
ley's chosen agent. They show distinctly
and undeniably that for the first time the
Republican national managers are terribly
uneasy about the German vote. II 80 per
cent of the German vote cast for Mckinley
in the pivotal States OF the middle West
four years ago comes over to Bryan in No.
vember the Democrats Will sweep the
country with a larger electoral majority
than Mckinley received in 1896.

Third Ticket in View York-It he

Third Ticket in New YorI.-It be-
gins to look as if there will be a powerful
third party movement in New York. The
Hon. Bird s Coler has projected himself
into the situation in way wholly unex-
pected. He declares boldly and emphat-
ically that he and his large following are
going to ask both the Democrats and Re-
publicans to adopt an anti Ramapo plat
form and win support only that party
which complies with their request in an
honest. straightforward spirit. The i'm
plication plainly is that the gubernatorial
nominee of each party will have to fit the
platform. By that is meant that if plat
form declaration merely is made against
the Ramapo scheme of robbery and the
nominee is suspected Of being under the
influence of the powerful interests back
of that scheme OF public plumber the Coler
people will not Sbe propitiated. The Re-
publicans are boldly defying Coler and
his movement. and the Plat machine still
is insisting upon the nomination of Lob
byist Odell for Governor The Hon. Richard
Croker seems to be determined to defect
the Democratic gubernatoriaI nomination
from Coler. II Cookers fiat becomes the
law of the Democratic State Convention,
then it appears quite evident that Coler will
pendent movement. Some of the Democratic
national managers DO not view this pros
pect wholly with misgivings. They contend
that Colers candidacy on the distinct is
sue OF opposition to corporation rapacity
and lawlessness would very greatly aid tbs
Bryan cause in New York. II is confidently
believed that Coler would draw mary
thousand votes from the Republicans as
well as the Democrats, and that With a
breach thus made in the Republican lines
Mr.. Bryan would stand a better show in
New York that he would if the voters were
left with only two tickets to choose be-
tween. Then. too, the Coler candidacy
would educate the people on the evils of
corporation control OF politics and open
their eyes to the Intimate relations be-
tween the Hanna organization and the
trusts. II probably would also withhold
from Mr.. Mckinley the bulk of Gold Dem
ocratic votes that may go to him if there is
no means by which this element gradually
can be brought around to the support OF
Mr. BRYAN

To Help Senator EIkins

To Help Senator EIkins.-Wfth a loud
shout of joy the Hon. Stephen Benton Ell
kins announces that President Mckinley
is to make a number OF speeches in West
Virginia after the campaign gets we'll IN
der way. The ostensible reason Cor the
President deciding to break his rule of
dignined silence is his earnest desire 10
see Mr.. EIkins returned to the Senate
The West Virginia statesman stands a
mighty poor show. and If the President can
pull him through, the performance will
be little short of the marvellous. In real
fy, however it is known that the Presi-
dent is going TO make speeches in West
Virginia because he is uneasy about his
own interests in that State. Mr.. McKin-
ley could carry the State by fifteen thous-
and and still the Democrats could save
the Legislature. The last legislative ger
rymander has practically assured that re-
suit. But the Presidents chances are
dwindling there daily. He carried It four
years ago by only a little over / / 900 plu
rality. A change OF six thousand votes
in total poll OF more than two hundred
thousand is never an improbable occur
renee. Recent elections in West Virginia
have shown plainly that there has been
a healthy growth of Democratic sentiment
in the State since 1896 and that the party
is in good shape. The State is normally
Democratic by a safe majority. 1t is only
by fiuke that 1t gees Republican. Mr..
McKinleys manifest anxiety over West
Virginia shows that he realizes tina. he
has a hard fight ahead. When he de-
scends from his pedestal ard makes per-
sonal appeal for six electoral votes 1t is
considered evident that he feels the pre-
monitOry shudders of a groundswell. l.
Is argued that II Mr. Mckinley regards +
rropnr mr. uappSCary IN ctItrar, Wegf Vi--
ginia he cannot refuse the calls OF the dis
tressel brethren in other parts OF the
country for his services. Hence it is
thought that the President will not con-
fine himself 10 the front porch of the lit
tie frame cottage at Canton much longer,
but that he soon will be swinging around
the circle Al a lively gait.

Mahogany hunting Is one of the best pay

grow in clusters, but are scattered through
the forests and hidden in a dense growth Of
underbrush, vines and creepers, and 1t re-
quires a skillful and experienced woods
man to find them. The mahogany Is one
Of the largest and tallest Of trees. and the
hunter, seeking the highest ground, climbs
to the top Of the taiiest tree and surveys
the surrounding country. His practiced
eye soon detects the mahogany by It's pa
