TAMMANY'S CLEVER BLUFF
Crcker Thought to Bo Playing n Deep
Political Game.
TIGER HAS ITS EYE FIXED ON FUTURE
AMU lurr (ilrrfullr When It linn Ac-t-oiniillnlied
the ln
Iiik of Mr.
Ilrj nn.
"New York Is as safely republican this
year as either Vermont or Pennsylvania,"
ald Hon. W. 11. Clark of Cortland, N. Y.,
yestorduy. "I do not entertain tho
-slightest doubt that wc will give McKlnley
nnd Itoosevelt a handsome inojorlty, elect
a full stato ticket and secure both houses
of tho legislature. Of course, I don't ex
pect we can make It unanimous, but we will
havo a majority larse enough to enact
Home needed reform legislation for which
he republicans have been clamoring for
some time, and which would havo found
a place on the statute books of tho state
last nr had thcro been time to carry It
through. 1 am not looking for such n
landslide os occurred four years ago, but
you may hat Jt down that we will
-arry thu stato by 60,000, or else I nm
Jill st fault lu reading the signs nt
present."
"Hut It Is reported out here that Mr.
Crokcr I" using all the machinery of Tam
many Hall and tho municipal government
of Greater Now York In favor of Mr. Uryan.
if that Is true, will he not be able to roll
up a majority that It will be Impossible
to overcome In tho rtjral districts?" ho was
asked.
1 "1 think not. Kvcn granting that Crokcr
nnd his associates nro doing what you say.
It does not follow that they mil poll cnoug.i
votes to ov'er.otuo tho majority with which
wo can go down to Harlem bridge. As n
matter of fact, I am Inclined to think that
outsiders grcat'y magnify Mr. Crokor's In
fluence. Out In tho rounlry he stands fo
everything that Is undesirable In Amer
ican politics. Ho Is a spoilsman of tho
vorst typo, n grafter without a ronsclcncc,
tho avatar of everything that tends to ruin
In a country governed like ours. In my
own county tho fa-t that Mr. Crokcr Is
hand In glove with Mr. Bryan Is Ktifllclcnt
to turn the farmer democrats against the
fusion candidate. Then, too, there nrc
thousands of voters In New York who nr?
tired of C'rokorlsm and all that It implies.
They may bo found ostensibly supporting
him, but when they ml Into the booths to
cast their ballots they may not vote as ho
thinks they aro going to.
'In in in ii n 'n (iniur of It luff.
"Fur I her than this, has It ever occurred
to you that Tammany may be only pultlug
up a munumental bluff? Four years ngo
the support that organization gave to Mr
Hryan was of tho most perfunctory kind.
It was an open secret that It did not want
to soo him elected. What hns occurred
during the lr.st four years to change the
tiger's spots' I do not bellevo Tammany
wanfn .Mr. Hryan for president any more
today. than It did four years ago."
"Then why this extraordinary activity on
the part of the organization?" was asked.
"I'll tell you. The leaders saw thnt Mr.
llryan's nomination wns Inevitable at the
Kansas City convention. To have opposed
It would have put them In nn unfavorable
light before the country. They acquiesced
because tl),ere was nothing elso to do. It
wns tho force of circumstances that com
pelled them to do ns thoy did. If they had
sidked In their tents after the convention
was over they would havo won tho con
tempt and hate of tho thousands of other
domocratH'fbrouKhout the United States who
are. really anxious to Beo Mr. Hryan elected,
and that body would havo had hut little
Influence In natlonnl affairs for some years
to come.
Wimtn t i Kllniluntr Ilrynn.
"I may bo nil wrong, hut tho way I figure
It nut Is something like this. Tammany
Hall Is as anxious to eliminate Mr. Hryan
from American rolltlcs as It over was. At
tho same time It has prescience enough
to see that If It bolts the ticket or gives
it a lukewarm support Its influenco will be
reduced to a point whero It can havo no
weight In tint convention four years hence.
Accordingly, It Is working, to all Intents, an
hard as It possibly can to carry the state
for tho deniocrnttc nominee nnd It Is doing
this solely to maintain Its prestige In tho
democratic ranks. My guess Is that the
day before the votes aro cast Mr. Croker
will pais the word nlong tho lino that he
will not he heart-broken If Mr. Hryan does
not carry tho city and stato of New York
and his followers will .-.now bow to In
terpret bis meaning. Tho 100,000 majority
that Is being claimed In Greater Now
York will be divided by three and will be
wiped out by the up-country vote. Hut
Tammany Hall, like Macboth, can then
ay, 'Thou canst not say I did It.' It will
havo accomplished, then, the two alms for
which I bellovo It Is striving, viz., tho
downfall of Mr. Hryan and his dangerous
theories and tho maintenance of Its own
prestige. 1 may possibly havo another
guess coming, but I believe you will find
that I am not far from right."
Farmer .Not CliunitliiK Tills Year.
"It Is said, Mr. Clark, that tho farmers
In central New York will vote the domd
cratlc ticket largely this fall. What Is
your opinion?"
"Don't you bellevo it. 1 will admit that
two months ago there were rumors to that
effect, nnd for my own information I made
Inquiries In tho country towns within
radius of fifty miles Bround Cortland by
means of correspondence with persons
whom I know to bo reliable, and in closo
touch with tho sentiment In tho communi
ties In which thoy live. I asked for n
list of all tho voters who wcro golug to
change this year cither way, and with tho
understanding that tho reports were to be
entirely confidential. Names wero asked
for, togother with postofllce addresses,
Kvcry man to whom I wroto responded and
their communications to mn bore proof
of having been prepared with tho utmost
caro. The result showed that the defec
tions to Hryan wero almost nothing, and
wcro counterbalanced three to ono by
democrats who will vote for McKlnley. This
talk about tho farmer voto of Now York
being cast for Tlryan Is bosh pure and
Mmplo and Is gotten up for campaign pur-

by property owmrs In paving district No. 3
to restrain tho collection of tho tax. The
suit Involves the special levy for fifteen

It is based on tho finding that tho petitions
for the paving were not signed by the own
ers of a majority of the frontage, nnd that
tho city council never equalized tho as

CULLED from the FSeSd of POLITICS
Chicago follows New York in demonstrat
ing by Increased registration that tho
forces of apathy havo been routed. Equally
significant Is the fact in Chicago a J In
Now York. The bulk of tho lccrj..o In
registered voters Is In ward3 hitherto
strongholds of republlcucUm. Compared
with lBOi thero Is a gain of CO.000 votes.
Tho Increased registration removes Illi
nois from even the ik-raocratle spcculatlvo
list. The maximum claim mado by any
democrat a3 shown by tho rcturnt Is a
majority of 20,000 In tho city and 10,000 In
Cook eouuty. Conccdln;; tho democrats
the majority claimed in Cook county, thty
will still lose Illinois. Keu beta nro
offered by republicans thst McKlnley will
carry tho city of Chicago.
Tho significance of tho marked Increase
lu registration In tho Umpire state is ex
plained by "Holland," a notcci correspond
ent of tho Philadelphia Presu. "Tho regla
trattons lu other republican cent:rs in New
York stnte," writes Holland, "point to ths
saute result that the registration of New

everybody has been mistaken and that Tf

With what favor Omaha people look upon
the auditorium project U Indicated by the
liberality of the subscriptions already made
tho enterprise. At tho meeting of tho
exccutlvo committee held Thursday evening
ut tho Her Grand, tho fund for tho erec
tion of the auditorium was reported as
having been swelled o tho splendid pro
portions of 147,725. Tho director aro par
ticularly gratified over this showing, In
view of tho fact that but little effort has
thus far been mado toward securing sub
scriptions. All that hao been mado up
to dato have been virtually voluntary on
tho part of tho subscribers.
Tho tiecleus now on hand Is such that
the directors will start at once on an ac
tive campaign for subscriptions, encour
aged with tho outlook far beyond their ex
pectations. Not the slightest difficulty Is
anticipated In raising the minimum fund
of 200,000 and so mo of tho more optimistic
directors hold tho opinion that this amount
will bo considerably swelled.
George A. Joslyn, president of tho West
ern Newspaper union, bears the distinction
of making the largest individual subscrip
tion to tho auditorium fund up to the
present time. President Sanborn reported
last night that he had a conference with
Mr. Joslyn, remarkable becatiitc of Its
brevity, nnd that gentleman without hesi
tation or urging subscribed 55,000. This
Information wns greeted with a storm of
applauso from tho directors which Indi
cated how greatly appreciated was Mr.
Joslyn's generosity.

GERMAN AMERICANS MEET

Tho German Republican club held an en
thusiastic and largely attended meeting last
ulght at Oermanla hall. It. O. Fink pro
Bided and after tho Initiation of thirty new
members Introduced tho speakers of the
evening, Fred M. Youngs nnd A. S.MUtchlc.
"My experience In politics has been
wholly along Industrial lines and therefore
it Is Industrial Issues upon which I will ad
dress you," said Mr. Youngs, "Tho masses
are interested In politics today as they never
wero before. All voters think aud study for
themselves In our age. Kvery thinking man
realizes that tho needs of the masecs must
be supplied through legislation and the re
publican parly has always been the party
of legislation.
"Tho republican party enacted tho federal
eight-hour Inw and has dono nil that was
ever done for tho wage-enrner. 1 nm a
supporter of that party because I believe In
the Justness of the Issues It advocates anil
because it is tho party of action and pro
gression." Mr. Ritchie's speech wns a denunciation
of tho bugaboo of militarism, with which
the democrnts are trying to frighten the
German voters. "Everybody is Interested
In tho German vote and there Is much spec
ulation ns to where It will go. Tho German
Is a thinking voter and he will not be
frightened by any such make-believe Issues
as Imperialism and militarism. Germans
respect and admire a well drilled army.
They aro proud of tho records of the Ger
man soldiery In tho Franco-Prussian war
and do not caro to live In a country which
will not defend Its flag. In Germany thcro
Is n patriotism which cannot be matched In
tho United States. Hryan nnd Poynter and
their kind aro no better than anarchists.
They are attempting to array class against
class. They urged McKlnley Into the war
with Spain nnd then they crltlc-lc rl the re
sults. In conclusion Mr. Ritchie urged all Ger
man voters to support Kdward llosowater
for United States senator. "Through thick
and thin," said Mr. Ritchie, "ho has stood
for everything that Is dear to tho hart of
every German. Tho principles of religious
and civil liberty have been championed by
Mr. Rosewater as by no other man In Ne
braska and every German voter should
glvo him liberal support."

"If you'll only do tho right thing In
Douglas and Lancaster counties wo havo
no cause for uneasiness about the state."
said General James D. C.ago of Mllford.
"I have Just the same report to glvo you
about Franklin county as you have had
from every other In tho outlying portion
of the state." General Ongo was a cumnila
Bloned officer In the First Rhodo Island
cavalry during tho war and has since
served as department commander In Ne
braska of tho Grand Army of the Republic.
"Of course, we have a majority of 300 to
overcome In tho county, but wo havo bten

wo hnve had good crops and high prices.
Wo may not win out, but wo will make the

MODERN MISERS.
Mon Who Starve Tkomaclvcs
to Acoumulato Monoy.
There is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the.
past. The money they accumulated was
of no more practlcat value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight a:ul use of r.irti and in silence
and sscret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gathet it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and fire to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not a few coses died
of starvation. That was the old-time
miser. The modern raiser resembles
this man of the past in the particular
that lie frequently dis of starvation,
In his eagerness "to gather money he
pays small heed to the claims of health,
lie eats anything, anyhow, aitywheti,
nnd anywhere. He doesn't eat crunta
by anv means nor spare his purse to fill
Ins stomach. The mistake he makes ii
in thinkinx that when a man lias filled
liis stomach, that is the cud of the busi
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the leginnitifj.
There is no value in food unless it ts
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the liclthfulness of the stomach
and the other org.vs of digestion aud
nutrition. When these organs are dis
cased'they cftiinot extract the nutrition
from the fowl received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
lack of nourishment. One day this
"weakness" begins to find a special de
velopment in some chief orgatij heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., to which the
man succumbs. The doctor's certificate
reads "heart disease," "kidney disease,"
as the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED TO DEATH,
The truth of this statement is appar
ent. The body is sustained by food
digested and assimilated. But the body
is made up of its parts and organs, and
when the stomach is "weak," digestion
impesfect, and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, tht result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. I?or this rea'son
no man is stronger than his stomach,
and no organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefo-e when we hear of " weak "
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
to hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak"
lungs, "weak" kidneys, or weakness of
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things leln true when a
man has heart "trouble," liver "trouble,"

"I suffered for four
years with pain in my

I couldn't work nor cat,"
writes Mr. Frank Smith, of
Granite, ChaiTee Co., Colo.
" I wrote to you ubout my

I only used four bottles

"I was troubled with
malarial fever of about three years'

of Purmleysvillc, Wayne County, Ky.
"They had almost given me up, and my
stillenng was very great. My pulse was
weak, breath short and 1 had severe pains '
in back, head and legs. Had palpitation
of heart, and from June 1st, 1895, to
May 1st, 1898, I was not nblc to do a
day's work. I purchased live bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
and before I bad finished taking the first
two bottles 1 was very much better of
my disease of three years' standing. I
continued taking the medicine, and by
the time the fifth bottle was gone I was

"In 1898, one of my daughters was
suffering on account of a severe cough,
hectic fever, wasting of flesh nnd other
symptoms of diseased lungs," writes Rev.

Iredell Co., N. C. "I promptly gave her
Dr. K. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
