on trying out. Case and Dickey and
Des Moines has made proposition
to OLeary.
Seelee is to give Graham trial in

the land bill victory in which he says:
ireland, in the passage of the land pur-
chase bill, has achieved a brilliant and
also a substantial victory; but the greater
victory is yet to be won. Al the commercial

The defeat Of Zimmerman in Ohio will
prove a very severe blow to the anti-Bryan
element in the Democratic party. not only
because il loses to them a State with a large
vote in the next Democratic national con-
vention. but because of the moral effect of
the defeat in Indiana and other neighboring
States, where they are making hard fight
to regain control of the party organization,
swept out OF their hands by the wave of
1896 The determining factor in the Ohio
contest was the fact that the Bryan-JohD-
son faction had control of the old organiza-
ton, and the state committee determined
questions of contest in its favor. The new
organization is of the same color and will
probably be able to control next years con-
vention.
The thing falls like q wet blanket on the
''reorganizers'' in Indiana. who have thus
far seemed TO have the best of it, though
the only opportunity they have thus far
had TO show their strength has been in In
dianapolis. Here. however, they won easily
and were bold enough to put at the head Of
the city committee frankly avowed gold
Democrat and tell the others to get in line
or fall out, as they pleased. They have not
talked nearly much about what they
were doing in the State as have the silver
people. but there is ample evidence that
they are preparing everywhere for the reor-
ganization meetings in January.
The Johnson victory makes it increasingly
difficult to see how the Democratic party
can pull itself together for anything like a
united fight next year. Evidently the great
body of the Democrats in the West still
cling to Organism. and 1t is even more evil
dent that. both East and West. there Is a
very large minority of the party that will
never vote for any Of the dead issues that
looked SO dangerous in 1896. The Bryan
element may be able to hold the national
organization, but the other people have
votes enough to prevent the election of a
Democrat nominated on such a platform
and will use them.

No news has been received in official cir
cles to-day from the interior of Macedonia.
The revolutionists at Kischevo are reported
to have six quick-firing guns. In a fight
which has just occurred in that district the
insurgents defeated and slaughtered an en-
tire detachment of eighty soldiers. A Turk

for the payment of the troops has been cap

up an iron bridge over a deep ravine on the
high road between Los Engrad and De-
mirdgehand.
An immense mass meeting of Macedoni-
ans took place here to-day. The proceed
ings were most enthusiastic. 1t was re-
solved that memorandum should be pre-
sented TO the representatives of the great
powers at Sofia urging their governments
to take action. The secret visit of the Rus
sian squadron to Turkish waters was much
commented on at the meeting. 1t was de-
scribed as "a moment of sunshine which
quickly passed" The speakers impassion-
ately appealed for the immediate interven-
ton of the powers in Macedonia, declaring
that if pouring out of blood in Macedonia
continues another fortnight Europe would
find nobody there to save. The Bulgarian
ministers were urged not to stand by while
their brethren were dying in Macedonia.
Resolutions also were adopted thanking
the publicists who have defended the cause
of the Macedonians, regretting the hesita-
ton on the part of Europe to take steps to
ameliorate the lot of the Christians in Tur-
key, demanding the appointment of Chris
tan Governor who would insure security
for the country and inviting all Bulgarians
TO aid In securing the triumph of the work
