HOPE FOR DEMOCRATS.
Crumbs of Comfort Extracted
From the Defeat of Bryan.
New Yark v 1rld.

In 1895 Mr.. Bryan was defeat
ed by & popular plurality of 601,-
S54. In 1900 he was defeated by
q popular plurality Of $40, 100.
This year the popular plurality
against him runs upward of L.
100, 900.
Mr.. Bryan said, in the formal
statement issued yesterday: If
l could regard the defeat as q
purely personal one, | would con-
slider it a blessing rather than q
misfortune. - The defeat was
so largely personal that Mr.. Bry-
an need not hesitate about re-
garding it as a blessing. The re-
turns indicate that there are not
half a dozen States in which he
has not run behind the Democra.
tic candidate for Governor.
While Mr.. Tatt's popular plu-
rality is more than LOO, 600, it
is estimated that the combined
pluaraliJies against the Democra-
tic State tickets are little more
than 400,0O0-a difference of
100000 against Mr.. Bryan per
sonally.
There are few States in which
he did as we'll as in 1900. He
has brought Nebraska, with eight
electoral votes, into the Demo-
cratic column. but seems to have
lost Missouri, with eighteen cleo
toral votes. although in 1900 he
carried Missouri by 81, 900. Even
the Southern States. which are
responsible for Mr.. Bryan's S nomi-
nation this year, were not great
ly interested in voting for him.
Only Kentucky gives him an in
creased plurality over 1900. In
the others. except Maryland.
where the electoral vote will
probably be split, there is a Bry-
an slump varying from hundreds
10 many thousands.
In the Eastern States Mr.. Bry-
an Jared worse than in 1900. In
, New York he lost the city, which
he carried eight years ago, and
Taft's plurality in the State ex.
ceeds McKinley's 1900 plurality
by $1,000. The Pacific coast
States followed the Atlantic coasr
States in increasing their anti
Bryan pluralides. In the middle
! West Mr.. Bryan averaged only {
! little better than in 1900. Wha

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infiam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
ard this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
er; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.

USUAL POOR
GARD SHOWN
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

The card for this afternoon is up to
usual poor mid-week presentation and
there are plenty of cheap horses carded
race that was carded as the fourth
event did not fill and the third was
split and the good end slated as the
fourth. Most of the good horses are
suffering from some ailment or other
and Secretary Smith finds it anything
but an easy task to get up a good pro-
gram. AS Is usual in selling races,
they generally result in close finishes
and keen sport. and that is what the
.race-going public wants.
A fair lot of three-year-olds are to
start in the opening race, a five and
d half furlong dash. Harcourt is due,
as he has been second so often; Jockey
Schlling will act as pilot All Alone
has a world of early speed and this
distance suits him nicely. Macias is
"A grand looking colt and ran some
good races. Had a short let up and
should go to the races a fresh horse
BOland will ride him. BraWney Lad,
Lackfoot and IIalaca are consistent
performers.
A mixed lot of baby selling platers
Will furnish the sport in the second
number. Lucky Mate has been run
ming in better company than he meets
today. Bell of Brass ran a good race
Monday; is a good locker. Pops was
left his only start and should run bet
ter today. Thelma Thompson ran 4
fair race her last out.
Ordinary Lot in Third
An ordinary lot is in the third race
and it is a hard guessing contest, as
there is little class. Little Minister
won his last race and is in good form
now. Search Me likes the distance and
Toller took Bribery into camp his last
start. San Nicholas does not seem to
run to his old time form. Is probably
due soon; today, / think.
Such good ones as Merrill, Canique,
Prince Frederick, Stoney Lee Giovan-
nj Balerio, Silverskin and many others
make up the fourth race and it is an
evenly matched lot. Riders and past
positions will have to be considered.
The fifth race is part of the original
third race, as the one slated as the
fifth did not fill. Bon Vivant won his
last out easily, showing him to be
good now, and he has a lot of speed.
Royal Rogue is the class and is fit and
ready. Leash is the dark one and is
overdue. Perry Wicks and Grandita
do well in their workouts i'm the morn
ing. The balance can go for the end
book.
Some good selling platers, notably
Merlingo, Gateway, Daruma and Kill
ter will fight out the issue i'm the
closing event of the day and there
should be a battle royal for the long
end of the purse.
