Convincing Testimony.
IS from 1893 to 1908. inclusive:

The Democratic depression of 1893
and 1894, to which the campaign book
inadvertently directs attention; was
marked by a falling off in deposits of
over $37 100000 in one year. Between
1893 and 1903 the average due each
depositor increased from 1860 to SALT.
More significant than the increase in
deposits is the fact that in 1903 there
were 2,474,629 absolutely new savings
bank depositors in the United States,
marking an increase of nearly so per
cent during a period when the total
population only increased "a per cent.
Col. WriGht's Summary.
Turning now to the direct comparison
of the advance in wages and cost of liv-
ing during the period under review, the
Democrats affect the greatest contempt
for the government statistics, which,
under the able conscientious and I'M
biased direction of Carroll d. Wright,
present the following instructive sum

:. da,eeations from outside precincts

:.a the day there were several develop
r,ents in the way Of new material Tor
.o,rtv offices but nothing seriously
noterial has been suggested in either
- the cases. 1t was stated this morn
;,a that A. ]. Showalter Of Spalding
would not refuse the nomination for
sheriff and it is reported that some ac-
,;vs work is being done in his behalf.
paoardless of this fact, however. 1t is
believed that Geo. Henderson of Guide
sac has the strength oft he country for
the nomination for sheriff and the wise
mes are predicting his nomination. 1t
was stated also this morning that the
friends of c. F. Leland would present
his name for that of sheriff but this
could not be confirmed.
The situation in regards to the treas
urership seems to be practically the
same with possibly a slight advantage
in favor of Fred King securing the
nomination. 1t is understood that he
had gained considerable strength dur
ing the day from the country and that
he would go into the convention tomor-
row with a little the best of the race
The friends of both j. E. Kincaid and
Judge w. B. Reese are persistently
claiming that their favorites will take
the nomination but it is very probable
that no accurate forecast on the vote
by precincts can be made until the bal
lot is taken in the convention. All three
candidates have many friends amons
the delegates and it is believed that th
question as to the strength of the re
spective candidates as vote getter
will have an important bearing on tn
result.
There seems to be no change in tn
situation over the contest for count
attorney. Both candidates D. Needhar
and S. L. Mcfarland are confident G
success. 1t is understood that caucuse
will be held this evening for the pur
pose of determining the line of actio
with reference to organizing the cor

will be no serious contest over the ten
porary craftsmanship. There will prof
