A brAss band is being organized among the inmates of the state institu tion at Beatrice which will have for its leader a gentleman recently engaged as one of the department inspectors. A lively and rather unusual episode disturbed the usual quietude of the Berlin schools recently, when a rattle snake was discovered under a pupil's desk. The reptile was soon dis patched. Four members of the Guilford fam ily of Aurora have died of typhoid fever, supposed to have been caused by impure water, as the well contained tome dead frogs and other refuse. Two married brothers, one child and the aged mother have died. J. J. Johxsox, a stranger.from Ham ilton, Ma, was held up at Lincoln and robbed of SI S3. The affair occurred at a point near 220 North Seventh street at about 9 o'clock. There were two of his assailants, and in the struggle John son's clothes were nearly torn off. A jury in the federal court has found judgment for the government in a case brought by the United States district attorney to enforce the forfeiture bonds of Joel W. Hale. He had eight con tracts to carry the mail on routes in the vicinity of Edgar. Hale abandoned the contracts, and the jury gave the plain tiff $6,400. The ferry across the river at Platts xnouth, which has heretofore been maintained by the Plattsmouth mer chants for the purpose of inducing Iowa farmers living near the river to bring their produce to the Plattsmouth market, was discontinued last week, some of the merchants failing to pay their assessments. The Valentine house was destroyed by fire at Valentine. The building be longed to Frank Fischer, whose loss is about 54,000, having no insurance.

Ix Omaha last Sunday night Ida Gas kill was enticed into a vacant building, outraged and choked to death. She was the only daughter of a widowed mother. One Morgan, an ex-penitentiary convict, has been arrested as the supposed guilty party. There seems little doubt that he committed the deed and to save him from the hands of a mob he has been temporarily taken to the penitentiary. Ex-Sexator Maxdersox of Ne braska, general solicitor for the Bur lington lines west of the Missouri river, went to Washington last week to at tend the hearing of the case of the Commercial club of Omaha against cer tain railroads centering in Omaha and Council Bluffs. While in Washington Senator Manderson will present his argument on appeal to the secretary of. the treasury from the beet sugar grow ers of the country against the decision of the comptroller of the treasury in the sugar bounty case. The opposition to the 810,000 bond is tue for water works improvement at Hastings cast a big vote against the proposition, defeating it by a large ma jority. This leaves the council to find other means for paying for the im provement contracted for and now under way. Hon. John M. Ragan, who was bitterly opposed to the issue, has made the open assertion that he will have the council enjoined if they Tat tempt to use the money of other funds to pay for the work, claiming it was contracted without authority. The Tecumseh public library has been in existence one year. During the year 2,006 volumes were taken out for perusal. - Unknown parties entered the barn on William Hilgenkamp's farm .the other nicht, hitched his best team to his car riage and drove away. William Ossexkop was found dead in bis bed at Lousville from heart dis ease. Mr. Ossenkop was ' an early set tler in the county. He made a trip to California before railroads were built, had crossed the plains, going via New York and the isthmus, and returning, purchased a farm adjoining Louisville, where he has resided ever since. Sufur Beet Growers Complain. A correspondent writing from Fre mont complains of the growers' wrongs, thus: The sugar factory representa tives throughout the entire state visit ed every hamlet portraying the beau ties and profit of raising sugar beets. They were very successful in this par ticular line, for hundreds at their earn est solicitation invested every dollar they had, and not being content with this even went so far as to encumber themselves by mortgaging, some even their household effects, in order to make a complete success. Why not? Five dollars per ton and twenty tons per acre and no danger of drouth. It's simply like finding money. Oh, no. It's a deplorable fact, considered in its entirety. We have never witnessed a more gross misrepresentation. The facts and results are simply this: We have hundreds of acres of beets on hand, and are confronted daily with a reply, "We will notify you when to ship, as they do not come up to the require ments of our contract." We might be content with this particular phase of the situation if some of the favored few did not get to ship forty to fifty cars, while other adjoining fields planted on the same day and under like conditions receive no orders at all, only "Silo or dispose of them if you can." Stop and reflect a moment. When you consider winter is staring these ' poor unfortu nates in the face and not an available dollar to meet its exigencies. It is no uncommon fight to see tears trickle down the cheeks of the brawny sons of toil. And well may them weep, for it 11 1 a . . . is a wen Known tact mat n every man should receive an order to ship at once they could not harvest this immense crop of beets before frost would inter fere; hence the eagerness for the. longed for word, "Ship." Kloplng Girls Return. A Waverly dispatch says: Miss Ward, one of the young women who eloped from here last week, has returned and gives full details of the case. She states that there were a number in the plot and some acted as accomplices, one of whom was bribed with a fine present. He was about to give the snap away when he was threatened. The party left Lincoln on the 2 o'clock train for Omaha, but paid the conduc tor to let them off at a suburb of Omaha. They then took a dummy for Council Bluffs. , In a few hours they were joyfully on their way for Kansas City, at which place the young women realized their situation and concluded to proceed no further. Druggist Vin ing left at once with them for their home. Before they started back Dr. McCandless had Miss Miller return the watch that he had presented her. When the party reached St. Joseph on the return trip Miss Miller stopped, meeting a friend there. Vining and Miss Ward came on to Greenwood, from which place she notified her par ents here yesterday afternoon by letter and then by telephone that she would return home at once if received with out any punishment or rebuke, and that she and Vining would be married as soon as a divorce could be procured through the Arizona courts This afternoon J. M. Miller received a mes sage from the manager of the St. Joseph Herald, asking if Miss Miller could return to the parental roof, to which he wired "Yes" at once. The parents of the girls are greatly relieved at the outcome and shed tears of joy 'nstead of sadness. Encouraging Beet Producer. The Oxnard beet sugar company ax Grand Island has offered to take those beets which do not come up to the standard in purity and saccharine con tents, in the following circular: "We have been asked by several committees representing beet growers if we would accept beets below 12 per cent sugar and 80 per cent purity at a reduced price, with the object of saving as much as possible of the crop. We are disposed to do this, after we have worked up beets coming up to the re quirement of our contract, for which we pay S5, in compliance with the law passed by the late legislature. We are not able today to say what we can pay for such low test beets, but after care fully investigating the whole subject we will, within one week, name you a price which you can afford to pay for all beets containing less than 10 per eent sugar and 70 per cent purity. The season is advanced and when you har vest your crop, which we think it wise now to do, be careful in tapping your beets to cut off all the frozen part, that they may be well preserved in the si los." Since there are always some beets which will not come up to the require ments, and which therefore are fed to stock, this offer, if the prices to be named later are reasonable, will no doubt be accepted with satisfaction to the producers, especially since in Hall county there is an abundance of other bod for wintering stock. Ida GaskiU'a Murderer. Blair dispatch: Morgan, who is ac cused of a criminal assault upon and murder of Ida Gaskill, is known here, and he was jailed here on the charge of attempting a criminal assault but was released. His release was because the jury thought the evidence not strong enough to convict. His intended victim, as charged, was a girl 7 years old. He had tried coaxing a number of girls to go out walking with him but failed and was watched. When he enticed this girl out of town and had gone about a quarter of a mile her sis ter and a young man overtook them, and feeling certain that his designs were evil, they rescued the girl and had Morgan arrested. That was two years ago. Not long after Morgan was convicted of burglary of Arndt's cigar factory and saloon and sent to the pen Hcntiarv. Dorsey Most Pay. Judge Shiras today, says a Lincoln dispatch, rendered his decision in the case wherein Albert Watkins, as re ceiver for the Ponca National bank, sought to have a transfer of stock by G. W. E. Dorsey to Frank Dorsey set aside. The receiver alleged that Frank Dorsey was insolvent and the transfer just before the failure of the bank was to protect G. W. II Dorsey from liabil ity to assessment The court set aside the transfer, and the judgment recites that G. W. E. Dorsey must pay the as sessments, which amount to 100 per cent SILVER LEADERS FIRM THEY ARE NOT DISMAYED OYER THE ELECTION RESULTS. SENATOR JONES' VIEWS- The Nevada Senator Strongly of the Opinion That There Will Be a Separ ate Silver Party In the Campaign Next Tear Split In Alabama Between General Oates and the Senators. San Francisco, Nov. 11. United States Senator John P. Jones of Ne vada is strongly of the opinion that there will be a separate silver party in the campaign of next year, the forma tion of such a party growing" out of the silver conference at Chicago, to be held some time near the Christmas hol idays. A call is now being- prepared by the executive committee, which grew out of the Memphis conference of last summer. This committee consists of Congressman J. II. Acklen of Tennes see, M. W. Eusk of Cojorado and Jo seph Batallal of Vermont. The Amer ican Bimetallic league, of which Gen eral A. J. Warner is chairman, with headquarters at Washington, and the National Bimetallic union of Salt Lake, 11. C Chambers chairman, are working- in conjunction with it. Secretary George P. Keeney of the local branch of the American League has had frequent conferences with Senator Jones since he has been here and he stated that Mr. Jones, since the result of the elections in the East has become known, is particularly anx ious for the conference, Mr. Jones expressing- himself as follows on the outcome of the elections: "I think that the elections just held have dem onstrated beyond the possibility of any doubt whatever that the issue in the campaign of 189G will be flatly be tween the champions of gold and silver; that finance and not tariff is to De the only question, ana that it can no longer be settled within party lines. The gold and sil ver men knifed each other in these elections regardless of party. It is an object lesson to silver men all over the nation. It is the battle be tween metals to be forced now on a straight issue and along unmistabable lines. The gold brokers of London and New York will dominate the gov ernment of the country for the next four years also, whichever of the two old parties win. The best thing for the silver men to do is to get together at Chicago and outline a plan of or ganization for a completely separate and independent party. The people have been pretty well educated and they know quite well what free and unlimited coinage of silver means to their business interets. In my opinion a distinctively silver party could win. IN ALABAMA. Open Split Between Governor Oates and the Two Senators. i Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 11. Demo cratic harmony in Alabama went into pieces when Governor Oates announced his intention to again lead the South ern Democrats in the state campaign on the sound money issue, and Sen ators Morgan and Pugh, Congressman Bankhead and several other silver Democrats, as the result of a confer ence held here yesterday, decided to make a hot silver campaign inside of the party. The conference adopted Senator Morgan's suggestion that each county Democratic authority fix the qualifica tion of voters in primaries as a declar ation to support the nominee. The state committee has heretofore denied admission to the primaries all who , failed to support the nominee in the previous election. The Morgan plan lets in Populists, who will help, to nominate a silver Democrat for gov ernor. Congressman Underwood and his followers were for party harmony, and the temporary regulation of silver to the rear, but were voted out. Senators Morgan and Pugh will stamp the state for silver, beginning at Tuscaloosa to-day. It is practically conceded that they will support Joseph F.Johnson of Birmingham, who was defeated by Oates in 1891 Not a Rich Man's Bad Son. St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 11. The body of the burglar killed at Newmarket by Dr. II ale and buried at Weston, has again been exhumed. It was at first identified by a St. Louis detective as that of Harry Hugueley, the son of a Boston millionaire. Colonel II. C. Whitley, formerly chief of the United States secret service, who now lives at Emporia, Kan., went to Weston and at the request of young Hugueley's father had the body exhumed again, lie said at once that it was not Hugueley's body. He knew the young. r Hugueley from childhood and was a close friend of his father. Young Hugueley is now living in Indiana, Whitley says. , Chinese 8oldlers Mutiny. ( Shanghai, Nov. 1L The Mercury reports that a mutiny has broken out among the soldiers of Kin Kiang, and that they are defying the officials who seem powerless, as they refuse to sur render their arms. Affairs are in a very critical state and a panic exists among the natives and the wealthier classes are leaving. The foreign resi dents are armed, having been warned and prepared for any emergency. Fatally Wounded at a Dance. Nebraska City, Neb., Novll. Last night at 1:30 o'clock Tom Maher, a character about town, who had been drinking heavily, became enraged at the sight of Miss Maude Fessler pre-, paring to go home from a dance under the escort of another, man, drew his revolver and shot her twice. Fred Plattner received two bullets in his cheek while attempting to disarm Maher. NEBRASKA SILVER MEN. They Are Not Satisfied With Their Show ing at the Election. Omaha, Neb.. Nov. il. Much inter est has been created among- Nebraska Democrats as a result of election re turns, showing the relative vote of the two wings; Mahoney, administration candidate for Supreme court, received 14,500, and Phelps, silver man, 8,000. Both went on the ticket under the Su preme court ruling, as Democrats, and the silver men claim that this was un fair to their interests, and that it was not a proper test. The silver men no w suggest that the silver question be submitted to a primary election in Nebraska, the regular Democratic committee and the bolting Democratic committee to agree upon primaries to be held at the same time and at the same places, and each voter to be called upon to express himself on the money question, and the State con vention to instruct its delegates ac cordingly. It a majority of the Dem ocrats of Nebraska are in favor of a 10 to ! plank in the next national con vention they are to be entitled to the delegation. If the majority of the Democrats in Nebraska are in favor of the present financial policy, then these Democrats to have a right to represent the State in the national conventian. This matter, they say, can only be determined by a primary election and the silver Democrats say they are not afraid of such an expression from the voters. They assert that if the gold men refuse to submit the question to to a primary election they will be stopped from claiming to represent a majority of the Democratic voters. The opponents of the white metal have little to say on the subject, as serting that the election results indi cate clearly that the silver Democrats are outnumbered two to one in Ne braska, and they think they have nothing to fear in future contests. SYMPATHY FOR CUBA. Great Enthusiasm Displayed at a Mass Meeting In New York. ! New York. Nov. 11. The Cuban sympathizers in New York held a mass meeting last night at the Murray Hill Lyceum, which was a great display of enthusiasm. Juan Fraga presided. On the platform with him were Senors Tomas Estrada Pal ma, who was recently appointed pleni potentiary delegate abroad for the Cuban revolutionary party; Enrique Trujillo, editor of El Porvenir; Gonzalo De Quesada, secre tary of the Cuban junta, and Senors Terreforte, Rivas and Checon. In the balcony were Senora Cespedes and her daughter, and Senora Trujillo, presi dent of the club, Hyas De Cuba. Senor Trujillo was the first speaker, and predicted that the liberation of Cuba is now only a question of a few months. Senor Quesada paid a glow ing tribute to the memory of young Cespedes. The speaker's reference to Maximo Gomez evoked prolonged ap plause, as did also his recital of the deeds of valor of the insurgents WALLER DYING. The Ex-Consul Writes His Last Letter to His Family. New York, Nov. 11. A special from Washington says the family of ex-Consul John M. Waller believe that his health has been permanently broken by his confinement in French prisons. His letters are all written in a most despondent tone. In letters dated September 30, from Clairvaux prison, just received, Mr Waller writes that he never expects to see his family again, and states that this may be the last letter they will ever re ceive from him. It is evident that his health is extremely bad, for the French authorities have transferred him from Clairvaux to Nimes and have placed him on hospital diet and allow ance. It is expected that the State department will tace some decisive action in the case before Congress meets, as Mr. Waller's attorneys have been instructed to file ' their brief at once. WRECK ON THE SANTA FE. Five Persons Injured, One of Whom Is Likely to Die. Gibard, Kan., Nov. 11. A discon nected part of a Santa Fe local ran into an extra freight on a grade ten miles north of Girard last night, smashing up a coach of the local and five cars. Five persons were injured, one of whom may die. The crews escaped by jumping. Those injured are: C. W. French, drummer of Chi cago; Charles Abend, drummer of Cin cinnati, Ohio; Messrs. Armstrong and Soloman and an unknown man who was working on the Santa Fe bridge gang. NICARAGUA CANAL It Will Be Constructed With New York and London Capital. Chicago, Nov. 11. The Evening Post asserts that the Nicaragua canal is to be built; that New York and London capital will foot the bills and American contractors do the work. It is also said Chicago engineers and drainage canal contractors will have a leading part in the construction. War Cloud at Tahlequah. Vinita, Ind. Ter., Nov. 11. A mes sage from Tahlequah states that much excitement and intense feeling be tween political factions is prevailing and bloodshed will result unless com promised. The conditions are similar to those of eiffht years ago when many men were killed. The National party is contesting the election of Sam Mayes as chief on the Downing ticket, and the Indians are collecting . in the capital armed to the teeth, determined to aid their friends. Colored Man Elected Judge. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 11. James C Matthews, colored, recorder of deeds at Washington in President Cleve land's first administration, has been elected judge of the Recorder's court of this city; which office carries with it powers of a Supreme court judge. His majority is over 2,000. He was nominated and elected on the regular Democratic ticket. It is the highest judicial office ever held by a man of his race in this country. MUCHLY REPUBLICAN. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ONE WAY POLITICALLY. Republicans Take All There Was in Sight Even Maryland and Kentucky Wheel Into Republican Line Democrats and Populists Not In It to Any Extent. Results of the Elections. Elections were held on the 5th in twelve states and one territory in the United States. The territory is Utah, and the 6tates are Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mary land, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vir ginia. The election in most of the states was upon local issues pure and simple or upon other questions which do not divide the two great national parties. Returns received from vari ous points are as follows: NEBRASKA. Omaha, Nov. 7. Latest and almost complete returns from the city and county sustain, with few exceptions, the estimate of the result of the elec tion as printed. Broatch's plurality for mayor over Brown is 985 and all the city offices will be filled by men named at the repub lican convention. Complete returns have been received from every voting district in the city on city officers showing all republicans elected. The same is true regarding the school board. Two of the county commissioaers on the citizens' ticket were successful. For sheriff the re publican candidate was elected. The returns on the state judicialiick et so far as received indicate a very close election, in fact, the result is so much in doubt that both republicans and populists are claiming the victory. Chairman Hainer of the republican state central committee, while admit ting that upon the surface of the situa tion the contest is a close one, refuses to admit for a moment that Judge Ner val has not been re-elected by a safe plurality. Returns practically complete from the Fourth judicial district show that the citizens elect two judges, Keysor and Duffie, while the republicans elect Baker, Dickinson, Powell Scott and Slabaugh. It is possible that the miss ing precinct in the Eighth ward of Omaha may elect Ferguson instead of Dufne, but Fawcett of the republican ticket is out of the race by 500 votes. Omaha, Nov. Nov. 8. Official returns from Nebraska are being made up very slowly, but as far as received they in dicate the re-election of Chief Justice Norval by a plurality of somewhere in the neighborhood of 6,000. From returns at hand the World Herald feels safe in giving the follow ing as the list of district judgs elected: First District Stull and Latton, reps. Second District Ramsey, dem. Third District Hall and Holmes, present incumbents, and Cornish, all reps. Fourtli District Keysor and Scott, present incumbents, and Baker, Dick inson, Fawcett, Powell and Slabaugh, all reps. Fifth District Bates, present incum bent, pop, and Sedgwick, rep. Sixth District Marshall, rep, and Sullivan, dem, present incumbent. Seventh District Hastings, present incumbent, dem. Eighth District Evans, rep. Ninth District Robinson, present in cumbent, pop. Tenth District Beall, present incum bent, pop. Eleventh District Kendall, rep., and Thompson, dem., present incumbent. Twelfth District Greene, pop. Thirteenth District Grimes, rep. Fourteenth District Norris, rep. Fifteenth District Kinkaid, rep., present incumbent, and Westover, pop. This makes a net gain to the repub licans of four judges, losing three and gaining seven. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, Nov. 7. Corrected returns now at hand show that Governor Green halge is re-elected by 63,444 plurality, which is 1,933 votes above his plurality last year. Municipal suffrage for wo men was defeated by a majority esti mated at over 75,000. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, Nov. 5. Returns re ceived up to midnight indicate that Benjamin J. Hay ward, republican, has been elected state treasurer by about 150,000 plurality, a republican gain over 1893, which was also an off year, of about 15,000. This state also elects seven judges of the new superior court. Of these the six republicans nominated are elected. The seventh man on the ticket is in doubt. KANSAS. Kansas Crrr, Nov. 7. Kansas re turns today show that the republicans made practically a clean sweep of the state, carrying a majority of the coun ties entire, and electing many of the officers of the others. C K. Holliday, independent candidate for chief justice, admits David Martin, his republican opponent, will have 40,000 majority. IOWA. Des Moines, November 6. The re publican state committee now claim 70,000 for Drake as the least figure. Indications are that Drake will run slightly behind the rest of the state ticket. The entire state has cast a light vote but the republicans show a net gam over last year in spite of this. The populists also show heavy gains. Last year they polled 34,000 in the state; it will be about doubled this year. The legislature will be overwhelm ingly republican, the best estimate be ing sixty-seven republican members of the house to thirty-three democrats, and thirty-five republican senators to fifteen democrats. - . Washington, Nov. 7. Asa result of the latest election returns the repub licans gain five United States senators, two from Utah and one from Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland, and the democrats lose three senators, one each from Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio. None of these changes become effective, how ever, until March 4, 1897, except in the case of the two Utah senators who will take their seats as soon as chosen. Thereafter the numerical strength in the senate will be as follows: Repub licans, forty-four; democrats, thirty nine; populists, six; vacant (Delaware), one; total, eighty-eigh vIf the ware vacancy isni it will give a repv repu- NEW YORK. New Yobk, Nov. 7. The total unofS cial vote for secretary of state is: King, democrat, 505,590; Palmer, republican 572,525. This makes Palmer's plurality 66,535. The vote in 1893 wa.s: Palmer, 545,098; Myer, 520,614; Palmer's plural ity, 24,484. OHIO. Columbus, Nov. 7. Chairman Ander son concedes the state to the republi cans by 90,000. Chairman Kurts saya Bushnel's plurality will not be lesa than 100, 000. The vote for Coxey, pop ulist, will be about 15,000 lesa than last year. At present the senate will stand: Republicans, thirty; democrats, six; fusion populist, one. In the house tha republicans have eighty-seven and the democrats twenty-five. MARYLAND. Baltimore. Nov. 7. Returns from, every county in the state, partly esti mated, give Lloyd Lowndes, republi can, a majority'over E. Hurst demo crat, for governor of 19,715. Not only have the republicans elected their en tire state and city ticket, but they have carried the legislature, which, accord ing to figures at hand now, will stand, in the house, sixtv-eight republicans to twenty-four democrats, and in the sen ate fifteen democrats to eleven repub licans. ILLINOIS. Springfield, 111., Nov. 7. It is tht belief of Governor Altgeld that the greater republican landslide of yester day was brought about chiefly through the treachery of the national adminis tration and the goldbug wing of the democracy in Wall street. Democratic conventions in many states, he says, were packed by postmasters and meni als of the administration who forced the administration or Cleveland's policy on the money question. The state has gone largely republican. new jersey. Newark, Nov. 7. The election oi Griggs was known to be a certainty at 10 o'clock last night, but at that hour 12,000 and 14,000 were all that the lead ers of the republican party claimed. Later they advanced their claims under the influence of the press returns to 22,000. The results in the counties as filed show that Griggs received 26,9C0 plurality over McGilL The republi cans from one end of the state to the other were celebrating today and boast ing that this time next jear will find New Jersey safely in the republican ranks. KENTUCKY. Washington, Nov. 7. The hopeless condition presented by the Kentucky democracy is regarded as a rebuke to the free silver democrats, and the pres ident and Secretary Carlisle have con fidently expected the defeat of Hardin and Blackburn, or their election by ma jorities so meager as to amount practi cally to defeat. UTAH. Svlt Lake, Nov. 7. The republican have elected the state ticket and car ried the legislature by a safe majority. Republicans elect twenty-nine repre sentatives, democrats seven, with nine still in doubt. Three judges of the su preme court are elected. REPUBLICANS MAKE GAINS IN COLORADO. Denver, Nov. 7. Party lines were not closely drawn in the Colorado coun ty elections, but the republicans claim to have made gains outside cf Denver. In this (Arapahoe) county the election was very close, and the result being still in doubt as to some of the offices. Two candidates on the taxpayers' tick et (General Frank Hall for treasurer and Willard L. Ames for assessor) ap pear on the returns so far received as having been certainly elected. The re publicans probably hold all the other officers. The result is regarded as a. defeat of the tramway company and the Denver Union Water company, which fought Ames bitterly on account of his efforts as an alderman to secure a reduction of water rates. INCERSOLL ON POLITICS. Criticises Cleveland and Predict Repub lican Snccess In 1891. PlTTBURG, Pa., Nov. 8. Discussing the result of the elections, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll said: "Cleveland's administration is a failure, a succession of blunders. The Democrats are dissatisfied with Cleve land. He is obstinate, unsocial, ego tistic, asks no advice and tales none. He is utterly indifferent as to the ad vice of others. He imagines that he is the whole Democratic party, with something left over. No party can carry that load." "Roosevelt and Strong and Park- hurst gave New York city back to Tammany. The people wanted a lit tle liberty, and were not willing to go back to the days of Cotton Mather. Ohio settled Brice; that is good. Mary land murdered Gorman; that is good. Kentucky went Republican. I know of no expression that will suit that; it is too good. AU this shows what is to happen in 1896. "I think the issues of the next presi dential contest will be just the same as they are this year. Both parties will be for good ruoney, and consequently the tariff will take the lead. Of course, the Democratic party will make sever al blunders before the next election. After all, protection is the issue. We want more revenue, and the people do not want more tax on beer or stamps on checks and contracts. They do not want internal taxation. They Jrrant to raise the money for the most part at the custom house. It may be that the Democrats will advo cate State banks. If they do, that will be enough to kill their party. We want no more State bank monev in this country. We want our paper to be as good as gold equal always to the best mpney in the world. Harri son is not in the presidential race. Allison is somewhat dangerous, but I imagine it will be between Reod and McKinley. Whoever is nominated will be elected Frailer Insurance Case Settled. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8. The celebrated Fraker insurance case was finally compromised in the Federal court yesterday afternoon and effect ually disposed of. By the term of the compromise the companies will secure the return of $3o,557.55, or something over eighty per cent of the amouirt in volved. Grlggt' Hlg Fiaralltj'. . Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 8.
