Today's Washington Post has this , which
will Im'of lutoraftl to Tun HUB readers In the
old First district : "In a recent Isiuo of the
Peat appeared a telegram from Lincoln ,
Neb. , dving CoiiKiossnun Bryan u greater
and his i-opubllcHii opponent a lessor moas-
ro of pulltlcAl popularity than they respect
ively possessed in the recent contest. It wus
suggested that Mr. Bryan's popularity waste
to bo tested by the fact of his ro-otoctloa
in H district that WAS l.r.tU republican , luo
facts are qulto the rovorso. Two years ago
the seven counties gave a domooratlu major-
itv ot 8l'J. Ho Is now ro elected by the re
duced majority of about 140 bv the com
bined votes of his democratic fiio.ids and of
1,070 ot lho2UI : Independents in Lancaster
county who were ho badlv knoclted out
olsowhcro in the state. Mr. Uryan's oppo-
nort , Judge Hold , stood squurelv oppowd
to coining n 155 cent * silver dollar and for
protection , Mr. Brvan favoring the former
and for substantlaffrao tradu and because ol
his free silver heresy , Mr. llryan ohtalneii

retire the present bonded iadebtedncbs of

length of time to run , for the 4 per cent oonds
outstanding , nt the mnikot vnluo of each on
October 1 , 1S9J , the government could
have saved $ < i7 , Id 1,551. In addition lo

> In a chapter in regard to circulation tha
comptroller nays : Soiled paper money is
popularly believed to bo a potent means ol
disseminating contagious diseases. A note ,
with its accumulated tilth of circulation , Is
unlit for circulation and should bo redeemed.
National bank notoi constitute llttlo ovet
IU per cent of iho money In circulation.
Currency furnished by the government will
not commend Itself lo tbo taxpayers upon
tbo score of economy. The government can
not Issue money gratuitously ; it must bo on
exchange for borne vuluo. It cannot posses :
elasticity. . The practical working's has been
to arbitrarily increase or diminish the cur

WASIIIVOTOX , U. C. . Nov.a. " ) . Mr. Ulalno's
candltion was again the subject ot universal
interest today , made so by ttis publication of
sUtcmcntH that hts ullmont had taken a
turn for tha worse and lhat his life was in
imminent danger. It Mr. Ulatno's physician
and the mom tiers of bis family ara to bo be-
llovcd , such statemunts are misleading and
nro not warranted oy tha fuels. List
summer a year ago Mr , lilalna loft
the city to sea his daughter before
she . ' .ailed for H'jropj. ' It win on that
occasion that no fell ill and wai ramovod
to his cottage at Uar Harbor , where
ho passed too summer and early tall in
convalescent The catiio of his Illness was
then not an organic complaint , unless a pe
culiar sensitive stomach can be bO rcganlod.
In plain Kngltsh , ho ata what was not good
for htm vlr. : rich food , and ate very much
of It. Heine run down In health and mentally
fatipuod from the labors of his oftlco , the
affairs ot which were Ihon In a crlllcal slate ,
with the Chilian nna Italian ombrogllos
threatening lo assume a serious form , Mr.
lilnlue , who Is by no moans In Iho vigor of
youth , was made very III , nnu required sev
eral months time to rocupiralc.
Last summer ho had another attack , but
sttico liu return lo Washington ho has
bnen la a state of hsatth that nwy fairly uo
described as his normal condition and capa
ble ot earnest work , open nir rides , wnllts
and cheerful , but , withal , very sonslvtlvo lo
irregularities of diet and to sudden chances
of weather. It is said by persons familiar
with hts habits lhat for years ho has been
subject to slight lllnoss from these causes ,
nnd having a wtiolosomo belief In tbo olllcacy
of doctors and physicians , ho Is quick to note
Iho slIghlHst unfavorable symptoms , to take
to tils bed and to send for his physician.
CIIIIHO for Alimn.
As near as can bo learned , the lllnesi from
which Mr. Blnlno is now suffering Is moro
serious than these wnlch have preceded It.
He caucht cold and ho was imprudent in his
dlot. Some congestion followed and there
was fever in Its train. The stomach was
made torpid and Ihoro was dlniculty in dl-
gosllon. Notwithstanding reports to Iho
contrary , it can be said that Mr. Hlaino has
shown uo sign'of menial abbcratlou or de
lirium. There has bocn much difilculty
encounlcrcd lu the effort to got reliable
news as to Ins condition , and this
has fostered .tho oriKln and spread ot
exaggerated stories of Mr. Elaine's condi-
Uon. The reason for Ibis is two-fold. In the
first place James U. Hlnine , jr. , Is absent
from Washington , loading none of the family
t the house except Mrs. lilaino and Miss
larrlot IJlnlno. who do not lool rqual to the
ask of answering the numerous culls for In-
ormation. In Iho second place , tno attend-
.nt physician Is oppressed by a fooling thitt
. public statement of a patient's condition
vould bo u violation of professional etiquette
> y Iho physician.
In Iho morning it was slated bv iho at-
ondants who answered the boll lhat Mr.
Blalne hud passed u comfortable night and
vas reslini ; very easily. Tno attend-lot
.dded : "Tholamtly were much nurprised
o sec the highly cxngcera-od accounts of
lr. Blalue's sickness in the papers this
uornlng. Thay cannot understand hoyv
ucb reports could have obtained circulation
nd wish it stated tboy are without tounda-
1011. "
Ills Doctor's Story.
Later In Iho day Dr. W. W. Johnson , who
s In charge of the case , called at the bouse
md had a short consultation ' "ilh Dr.
lyatt , who has boon treating Mr. Blame
.poclallv . for a stubborn brpnlchaUjiffcclion.
Subsequently Dr. Johnson informed a ropre-
icutuliveof the Associated press that the
[ inblithcd reports that Mr. Blalno is scri-
msly ill are entirely without foundation.
-The fact is , " ho said , "tnero is nothing
eally serious the matter with him. The
.light . cold , with bccompanyliig fever , from
ivhicn lie suffered last week , has entirely
pas-sod away and he Is so much iiupiovocl
today that bo is u bio to bo dressed nnd tc
ir.ove freelv about his room. "
Dr. Johnson said ho did uot cure to talli
about the case , but in rcsnonse lo porslstoni
inquiries ho said ho felt sure Mr. Blaim
would bo able to go out of doors in a foil
Jays , and that ho Is well able even now K
H ami a Journey in case such u course u
deemed necessary for tno better troatincn
of his caso. It Is learned from another sourci
bat Mr. Blalnp will.soon bo removed lo semi
point in the couth with the hope that i
warmer climate will have a beneficial offoc
on his bronchial troubles , whichsoom lo bavi
been aggravated since tbo cold spoil sot it
liero.

Ohio Voters Miiilu ,11 Intakes lu
'Ilu-Ir Tlc-Jsnts.
Ci.nvci.VNi > , O. , Nov. 25. It now appears
as though Ohio may have intended to hnvo
gone for Cleveland oy a slight margin.
Tonight tlio stnto statisticians in Columbus
completed their election count upon indivi
dual presidential electors. It shows that
Lorenzo D. Vlckcrs , the republican elector
of tno Eleventh district , U defeated by James
Sovvard , whoso name appears first on the
list ot democratic electors. Setvard re
ceived -104,115 votes and Ylcuou lO'.llOO.
Il is thought tno reason why S&wttrd
obtained BO many more votes than
his follow electors lies in the Australian plan
of balloting. To vote a straight democratic
ticuot under this plan formerly it was neccs-
ossary only to place across opposite thn
name "democratic ticKCt" at the head of the
list of candidates. This year , owing to the
tendency nf voters lo drop down one line in
their marking and designate the naiao of the
lirst candidate , thus erroneously voting for
him , thn law was amended providing that
iho crosses for straight tickeus must
bo placed iu circles printed for that
purpose ut the tops of Iho ballotn. l
was feared from the ilm that many
would neglect to comply with the new regu-
Intlou and place their marks at tbo side of
the ticket ut thu lop , thinking lo vale It
slialghl. Seward's election is laVen as ovl-
denco that this 'error was mndo by many
votes. It Is argued thai Iho cross wus placed
beside his name by many who buoposod uini
tlieroby thov were voting the democratic
ticket , where they only votedforhun.
The abstracts of 11 vo counties hava been
sent back for coirection. and it is possible
that they may imperil two other republican
electors M. Stark of the Twentieth district
nnd Luther Allen of the Twenty-first-
whoso margin of plurality is slight.
