who had done nothing but sew up the
seams of sleeves for four years was
taken off that particular job and was
asked to run up seams in the body

the change made her so nervous that
she could not work.
But what is the difference?" asked
the foreman. There is nothing but a

GEORGE w. LYTTON

Senator Hunter received dispatch
this afternoon that brought the news
that Mr.. George w. Lytton, one of
Ell1o's most esteemed and respected
citizens, died at Alameda, California,
this forenoon.
Mr.. and Mrs Lytton and their
daughter, Mrs. Mclaughlin, left here
OH No. 3 Thursday afternoon for
Alameda, where they intended to make
their home The trip was made in the
hope that change of climate would
benefit the old folks. A letter received
from them this morning stated that
they had arrived safely and that Mr..
Lytton had stood the trip we'll and was
i'll good spirit. The dispatch conveying
the news of his death was sudden and
severe shock to Mrs. Thomas Hunter,
his daughter, and to all his relatives
and old time friends
Mr.. Lytton was born in Kentucky and
had he lived until December he would
have reached his 80th birthday In 1878
he settled in Ell1N with his family and
resided here up until last Thursday.
During his long residence here, he took
an active part in public affairs and was
universally respected and esteemed by
all who knew him.
Mr.. Lytton's health has been gradual
ly failing for several years, and he was
quite feeble when he left here. No one,
however, expected that the summons
would come SO soon.
An aged widow, four daughters. Mrs.
Thomas Hunter of Elko, Mrs. Bixel of
Ca ada, and Mrs. Bilkey and Mrs. Nc
Laughlin, now at Alameda, and one son,
Commissioner E. B. Lytton of Lamoille,
survive him. To them the INDEpEN-
DENT extends its heartfelt SYMPATHY in
tn III bereavement.

resentative Of Democratic opinion
throughout the land. The intervention
of Federal power, the pernicious activ-
ity of Federal of6ce-holders, coercion of
any sort by any big stick, were not
factors By an overwhelming pre-
ponderancs of numbers the convention
was for Bryan because the desire for
Bryrn was genuinely preponderant.
His opponents were fairly met and
fairly overthrown. The Democratic
leader is to be congratulated upon this
remarkable demonstration of popular
ity apparently undiminished by his two
successive defeats. In this campaign
he stands for nothing but himself, his
own political following and his own
political theories and purposes As re-
CARDS the methods and machinery of
nomination, Denver affords contrast
which should be contemplated by Re
publicans generally with respectful and
regretful emotions.
