nto power il overthrew the Republi-
san policies which had given national
security. confidence and progress. and
paralyzed business like the blight OF
an autumn frost. For four years the
country suffered stagnation and de-
preston which caused wide spread dis
tress. Hundreds of mills were stopped
or ran on half time. Three millions
of workingmen were out of employ
ment. You could not altogether stop
production in this great country but
II was so checked as to cause a period
Of hard times. II you have forgotten
those conditions which existed only six
years ago you may make the mistake
OF voting to return to them. But no
man who remembers them in contrast
with the magnificent prosperity of the
last six years can vote to run any risk
Of changing back to the situation from
1898 to 1897 without displaying reck-
lessness which is incomprehensible."
PROSPERITY AND REPUBLI-
CANISM.
''In 1896 the people voted to get out
of the slough of despondency by elect
ing VIM. Mckinley president. AS the
election of 1892 had been the turning
point from prosperity to disaster, SO
the election of 1896 was the turning
point from gloom and depression to a
new era Of prosperity and advancement
beyond anything the world has ever
seen.
Never before has this country stood
on such heights of prosperity and
greatness and every step in this mag
nificent progress has been taken win
the opposition or the criticism Of the
Democratic party. In the light of this
experience shall Pennsylvania falter
in her Republicanism or pronounce a
verdict which would weaken the ma
tional administration in carrying for
ward the great work to which it is de-
voted?"

GIVE CREDIT TO G0PHERS
Chicago Writers Must Be Reckoned
With in Settling the West
ern Championship.

Chicago football writer's give Minnesota
full credit for her victory over Illinois.
The following dispatch from the windy
city indicates the feeling Of outsiders:
OF the games Saturday few furnished surprises.
The principal contest in the west was, Of course,
the game between Illinois and Minnesota, at
Minneapolis The gophers won, and by score
sufficiently large to entitle them to serious con-
nine.
As general thing, Minnesota's victory over
the team from Champaign was no surprise. The
gOphers strong favorites and proved them
selves worthy Of the confidence placed in them.
1t was rather expected that Illinois would get
away with the victory, but Coach Hollis men
were up against too hard proposition.
OF course, the question is now, what will Min
nesOta be able to do with Wisconsin and Michi-
gan? A fine mix up in the football world would
be brought about If the gophers were able to de-
nesota would naturally be conceded the cham
pionship Of the west. Nebraska would, of
course step in at once with counter claim.
The whole hope of the corn huskers Is based
all the rfest OF the games 1t has on Its, Bched-
ule, then Nebraska will come forward with its
feated next Saturday, Nebraska will have moth.
ing to say except that it also was able to win
from Coach Williams players. 1t likely
that Minnesota has the best eleven it has ever
put the gridiron. And from now the gophers
| must be most seriously considered. Their reputa.
| ton is now based on something more than a
| game with a minor eleven. Since its defeat by
| Chicago. Illinois has not been talked much
about, but it must be remembered that the team
| which faced Minnesota was undoubtedly stronger
than the eleven that lined up against the ma.
roons Besides that, Illinois probably has an
eleven which is stronger this year. than the
| team usually turned out by the state univer.
sity.
Everything considered, Minnesota deserves
| plenty of credit for its victory Saturday. The
| gophers may not be able to win from either Mich
igan or Wisconsin. but both those elevens had
| better beware. Williams and his men want
the championship of the big nine; they are after
| it and they will work hard to get it.

head. The injury was severe but not ap-
parently mortal, and Russell was able to

against Mccarthy, and to protect him
Russell went to a notary and made an
affidavit generating Mccarthy. A few
days later lie died. Mccarthy pleaded
guilty on his attorneys advice, and got
fourteen years. The story Of the affidavit

He did not get the money. Mccarthy s
attorneys got affldavlts from the wit
nesses, declaring the existence Of the
original affidavit. These were accepted
as proof by the board Of pardons to-day,
and Mccarthy will walk out of prison to-
day.

Strike Is Unlikely.

The Brotherhood Of Railway 1ralnmen
has voted to strike in case the railroads In
the Chicago district refuse an increase OF
more than 2k cents an hour IN wages:
1t is probable that as soon as the result OF
the vote is announced another conference
will be held At this conference it is ex-
pected that an increase will be offered and
this offer will be accepted.
F. r. Hawley, grand master OF the
switchmen's Union, says that his organ

3h cents an hour for foremen and IN for
