WkfmTr' * .joined together , regardless of differ
ences of opinion upon other subjects.
Democrats who believe in tariff reform
iand Republicans who believe in protection -
' tection are able to unite when both
j recognize that-the money question is
superior to the tariff question. A
Populist leader in this state well expressed -
; pressed the idea when he said that
i -while ho believed in Populist doc
trines , yet he was willing to lay some
1 -of them aside until be could get
-others. For instance , he said that
while he believed in the government
• ownership of railroads he did not
want the government to own the rail
roads as long as the Rothschilds
• owned the government It is this
willingness to lay aside minor differences -
• ences in hours of danger that charac
terizes our people and gives the surest
• • proof thatthcy are able to rise to the
-requirements of any emergency.
s "Sometimes they accuse us of rais
ing a sectional issue One of the best
• evidences that the platform adopted
at Chicago does not raise a sectional
issue is found in the language of the
platform adopted yesterday in New
\ York. Let me " read it to you. After
jl 'unreservedly indorsing the platform
I -and the candidates of the Chicago
• convention , the New York platform
• declares as its deliberate judgment
that never in the history of the Democratic -
, ocratic party has a platform been writ
ten which embodies more completely
' the interests of the whole people as distinguished -
\ • tinguished from those who seek legis-
f lation for private benefits than that
.given tc the country by the National
Democratic convention of 1896. There
-within the shadow of Wall street ,
against the combined opposition of
, those once leading Democrats of New
York who have left the Democratic
party and either gone over entirely to
the Republicans or stopped for a
moment at a half-way housethe Democracy -
-ocracy of New York declares the plat-
4 form adopted at Chicago is the most
Democratic platform ever put before
the country by a Democratic conven-
V tion. In the state of Connecticut
' ' "they have also indorsed our platform ,
and likewise in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. In other Eastern states
the Democracy is beginning to realize
that the Chicago platform presents to
• the American people those great is
sues around -which the people must
• cluster if thej' are goine to retain a
.government of , by and for the people.
"The three parties which have

LONDON BADLY SCARED.
Dynamite Attack * on Famous Building
Feared.
ijondox , sept. JO. as a results of
the disclosures said to have been
made in documents found in the
rooms in a Glasgow hotel occupied by
Edward J. Ivory , alias Edward Bell
of New York , who has been brought
here from Glasgow on the charge of
being concerned in the dynamite con
spiracy , the number of policemen on
duty in phtin clothes at the houses of
Parliament , the Mansion house , the
Royal exchange , the British museum ,
St Paul's cathedral , Westminster ab
bey and other public places , have
been doubled.
The war office has also taken addi
tional precautions here , besides doub
ling the force of police and sentinels
who are guarding the powder maga
zines at Woolwich.
The Irish home office took the nec
essary steps yesterday to secure the
extradition of Tynan.
M. Bossu , the deputy public prosecutor
cuter of Boulogne-sur-Mer in charge
of the case against Tynan , received a
violent letter to-day informing him ,
in the name of a committee of Invin-
cibles and the Anarchist brotherhood ,
that unless Tynan should be released
within twenty-four hours he , M.
Bossu , would be blown up with dyna
mite. The letter was writyen with a
red fluid , believed to be blood , was
dated Thursday , September 17 , and
was posted at Laon , capital of the de

Nevada , Mo. , Sept. 19. The com
mittee appointed by the Methodist
Episcopal church , South , to hear the
charges preferred against the Rev.
Neil Pugsley of Warrensburg by Miss
Eva Mullins of Columbia , Mo. , made

Moore , secretary. "
The committee was in session until
2 o'clock this morning. The woman
who preferred the charges did not ap
pear to prosecute.
Yesterday afternoon a resolution
was introduced and passed unani
mously , after some sharp remarks by
Presiding Elder Briggs and other

him by Southern Methodists.
CANTON'S BIG OPENING.
Thousands of Republicans Present Mc
Kinley in the Parude.
Canton. Ohio , Sept 19 To-day the
Republican campaign in the home
city of the Republican presidential
nominee was formally opened and
streets were strung with streamers
and banners and flags , arches with
welcoming mottoes spanned the thor
oughfares and buildings , public and
private , were draped with flags and
bunting , manj' shops and factories
were closed for the day , and most of
the business houses were open only
during the morning.
Major McKinley , the visiting speak
ers , the officers of the day and guests
of honor rode in open carriages at the
head of the parade. A short line of
march brought the paraders to a tent
with accommodations for 20,000 pee
ple. The addresses were made by

Thurston of Nebraska.
BRITAIN BACKS DOWN.
England Is Unwilling to Act Alone tc
Aid Armenians.
London , Sept 19. The foreign office
has given out the following semi
official note :
"The outburst of the continental
press against Great Britain , which is
accused of selfish designs in the East ,
has astonished official circles. Noth
ing that is being done , or contemplat
ed by the government , could give the
slightest color to such assertion ? . If
the powers cannot see their way to
adopt means to co-operate to end the
carnage , the only course open to
Great Britain is to stand aside and to
hope for a more satisfactory state of
affairs. "

THE MAINE ELECTION ,
REPUBLICANS SUCCESSFUL BY

The Result in Maine.
Augusta , We. , Sept 16. Maine has
given the Republican state ticket a
plurality of between 40,000 and 50,000.
Hon. T. B. Eeed is re-elected to the
house by over 10,000 plurality , The
returns show a majority of about 12-
OOo for Mr. Dingley Jor congressman
from the Second district ; over 12,000
for Mr. Millikea in the Third district ,
and practically the same for Mr. Bou-
telle in the Fourth district
In the state legislature the Demo
crats will apparently have less than
half a dozen of the representatives in
the house and not one in the senate.
The Populist and the Prohibitionist
votes have been received from only a
few towns , but it is evident that
neither party polled as large a vof-e as
two years ago.
Everywhere the most remarkable
gains are shown over two and four
years ago. Not only has the ftepub-
lican vote made great gains , but the
Democratic vote has fallen off , even
though the Democrats received great
accessions from the Populists , who
cast a light vote this year , preferring
to aid the Democrats rather than vote
their own ticket In many towns
more than a third of the former Dem-
cratic vote was cast for the Republican
ticket
Two hundred towns give Powers
52,950 ; Frank , 24,330 ; Republican
plurality , 28,620. The plurality of
375 for Powers , Republican , for gov
ernor , at Bath , is the largest plurality
ever given there. For Congress
Dingley gained 254 over his 1892 plur
ality. Bath is the home of Arthur
Sewall , Dpmo"atic candidate for vic8
president.
MAINE RETURNS.
t
Ihe Republican Plurality Will Bo Over
48,000 Estimates of the Total Vote.
Portland , Maine , Sept. 15. Returns
from remote towns and plantations
are coming in slowly , but it is almost
beyond question that the Republican
plurality will be over 48,000 aud it
may reach 50,000. This is at least 10- ,
000 over the before phenomenal plu
rality of 38.97S of 1694.
In every county of the state the Re
publican ticket was successful , and
almost every town showed a Replbli-
can gain. The Democratic vote is
about forty per cent less than in 1892.
About half of this went to the Re
publican ticket and the stay-at-homes
are responsible for the ether half.
The vote of the Populists and Prohi
bitionists throughout the state showed
a loss from 1692 of about twenty-six
per cent
The vote from 300 out of 519 cities ,
towns and plantations is 66,921 for
Powers and 27,143 for Frank. In the
last election in 1894 , when Cleaves
was elected by the then unprecedented
majority of 39,000 , these towns gave
the Republican ticket 56,409 and the
Democratic 24,230 , a Republican gain
in plurality of 2,913 this year. Esti
mating the vote of the missing towns
two years ago , if this proportion of
gain is kept up , the total vote will ba
124,000 in round numbers , of which
the Republican total is placed at 83-
160 ; the Democratic at 34,340 and scat
tering at 6,500 a Republican plural
ity of 4S.820. Anything more than a
rough estimate of the plurality based
on the figures of last year in missing
towns is impossible.
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN TALKS.
. Bo Declares Tiiat the Result Is Just
What Everybody Expected.
Bath , Me. , Sept. 16. George E.
Hughes , chairman of the Democratic
State committee , said :
"The result is just what everybody
expected. The only significant thing
about it is the large vote given for th&
Democratic candidate and free silver
after 6uch a short campaign.
"The Republican managers have
worked night and day , spent thou
sands of dollars and poured spell
binders from other States in upon us
by the score in an effort to secure a
majority that they could point to ns
and say : 'See what Maine has done ;
free silver is not wanted here. The
majority shows that the people do not
want iC- e
"The result indicates nothing defi
nite. Before the campaign opened'it
was evident that it was absolutely im-
possib-a to carry the state , and it
would have been the height of folly
to have made the attempt. There is
every reason to believe that the great
advance which free silver has made in
the state in the last few weeks will
continue , and you may be sure that
Maine will give a good account of her *
self in November. "
Coal Miners May Cut Their Wages.
Pittsburg , Pa. , Sept 16. The rail *
road coal miners of the Pittsburg dis
trict are in session here to consider
the advisability of voluntarily reduc
ing the mining rate to fifty cents , to
retaliate upon the non-union miners ,
who have been working at rates
lower than the district price , which
is seventy cents per ton. President
Ratchford of the Ohio Miners' Asso
ciation is here to prevent the pro
posed cut in rates , if possible , as it
will seriously affect the miners' wages
in Ohio and other Western states.
Balllngtoa Booth Becomes a Preacher.

Booth , formerly head of the Salvation

IV 1T T - T J- "ST.T 1 - T
. . . . . W T IV 5E ? ?
Washington , Sept. 20 , 1S96. If the
clarion note of this sermon , delivered
at the national capital , could sound
through Christendom , it would give
everything good a new start Dr. Tal-
mage's text was Romans , 13:12 : : "The
day is at hand. "
Back from the mountains and the
seaside , and the springs , , and the farm
house , your cheeka bronzed and your
spirits lighted , I hail you home again
with the words of Gehazi to the Shu-
nammite : "Is it well with thee ? Ja
it well with thy husband ? is it well
with the child ? " On some faces I see
the mark of recent grief , but all along
the track of tears I see the story of
resurrection and reunion when all
tears are done ; the deep ploughing of
the keel , followed by the flash of the
phosphorescence. Now that I have asked
you in regard to your welfare , you nat
urally ask how I am. Very well , thank
you. Whether it was the bracing air
of the mountains , or a bath in the surf
of Long Island beach , or whether it is
the joy of standing in this great group
of warm-hearted friends , or whether
it is a new appreciation of the goodness
of God , I cannot tell. I simply know
I am happy. It was said that John
'
Moffatt , the great Methodist prea cher ,
occasionally got fast in his sermon , and
to extricate himself would cry "Halle
lujah ! " I am in no such predicament
to-day , but I am full of the same rhap
sodic ejaculation. Starting out this
morning on a new ecclesiastical year.
I want to give you the keynote of my
next twelve months' ministry. I want
to set it to the tunes of "Antloch , "
"Ariel , " and "Coronation. " I want to
put a new trumpet stop into my ser
mons. We do wrong if we allow our
personal sorrows to interfere with the
glorious fact that the kingdom is com
ing. We are wicked if we allow appre
hension of national disaster to put
down our faith in God and in the mis
sion of our American people. The God
who hath been on the side of this na
tion since the Fourth of July , 1770 ,
will see to it that this nation shall not
commit suicide on November 3d , 189G.
By the time the unparalleled harvests
of this summer get down to the sea
board we shall be standing in a sun
burst of national prosperity that will
paralyze the pessimists who by their
evil prophecies are blaspheming the
God who hath blest this nation as he
hath blest no other.
In all our Christian work you and I
want more of the element of gladness.
No man had a right to say that Christ
never laughed. Do you suppose that he
was glum at the wedding in Cana of
Galilee ? Do you suppose that Christ was
unresponsive when the children clam
bered over his knee and shoulder at
his own invitation ? Do you suppose
that the Evangelist meant nothing
when he said of Christ : "He rejoiced
in spirit ? " Do you believe that the
Divine Christ who pours all the waters
over the rocks at Vernal Falls , Yosemite -
semite , does not believe in the sparkle
and gallop and tumultuous joy and
rusing raptures of human life ? I be
lieve not only that the morning laughs ,
and that the mountains laugh , and
that the seas laugh , and that the cas
cades laugh , but that Christ laughed.
Moreover , take a laugh and a tear into
an alembic , and assay them , and test
them , and analyze them , and you will
often find as much of the pure gold of
religion in a laugh as in a tear. Deep
spiritual joy always shows itself in fa
cial illumination. John Wesley r.aid
he was sure of a goc L religious im
pression being produced because of
what he calls the great gladness he saw
among the people. Godless merriment
is blasphemy anywhere , but expression
of Christian joy is appropriate every
where.
Moreover , the outlook of the world
ought to stir us to gladness. Astron
omers disturbed many people by telling
them that there was danger of stellar
collision. We were told by these as
tronomers that there are worlds com
ing very near together , and that we
shall have plagues , and wars , and tu
mults , and perhaps the world's destruc
tion. Do not b& scared. If you have
ever stood at a railroad center , where
ten , or twenty , or thirty rail tracks
cross each other , and seen that by the
movement of the switch one or two
inches the train shoots this way and
that , without colliding , then you may
understand how fifty worlds may come
within an inch of disaster , and that
inch be as good as a million miles. If
a human switch-tender can shoot the
trains this way and that without harm ,
cannot the hand that for thousands of
years has upheld the universe , keep
our little world out of harm's way ?
Christian geologists tell us that this
world was millions of years in build
ing. Well , now , I dfc not think God
would take millions of years to build
a house which was to last only six
thousand years. There is nothing in
the world or outside the world , terres
trial or astronomical , to excite dismay.
I wish that some stout gospel breeze
might scatter all the malaria of hu
man foreboding. The sun rose this
morning at about six o'clock , and i
tninK that is Just about tne hour In
the world's history. "The day is at
"
hand. "
The first ray of the dawn I see in
the gradual substitution of diplomatic
skill for human butchery : Within the
last twenty-five years there have been
international differences which would
have brought a shock of arms in any
other day , but which were peacefully
adjusted , the pen taking the place of
the sword. The Venezuelan contro
versy in any other age of the world
would have brought .shock of arms , but
now is being so quietly adjusted that
no one knows just how it is being set
tled. *
n * i . - . - t f w t . w , * . w ? > : a ? s.
I find another ray of dawn in the
compression of the world's distances.
What a slow , snail-like , almost Impos
sible thing would have been the world's
rectification with fourteen hundred
millions of population and .no facile
means of communication ; but now ,
through telegraphy for the eye and tel
ephonic intimacy for the ear , and
through stcamboating and railroading ,
the twenty-five thousand miles of the
world's circumference are shriveling
up into insignificant brevity ! Hong
Kong is nearer to New York than a few |
years ago New Haven was ; Bombay ,
Moscow , Madras , Melbourne within
speaking distance. Purchase a tele
graphic chart , and by blue lines sec the
telegraphs of the land , and by the red
lines the cables under the ocean. You
see what opportunity this is going to
give for the final movements of Chris
tianity.
One more ray of the dawn I see in
facts chronological and mathematical.
Come now , do not let us do another
stroke of work until we have settled
one matter. What is going to be the
final issue of this great contest between
sin and righteousness ? Which is going
to prove himself the stronger , God or
Diabolus ? Is this world going to be
all garden or all desert ? Now let us
have that matter settled. If we believe
Isaiah , and Ezekiel and Hosea , and Micah -
cah , and Malachi , and John , and Peter ,
and Paul , and the Lord himself , we
believe that it is going to be all garden.
But let us have it settled. Let us know
whether we are working on toward a
success or toward a dead failure. If
there is a child in your house sick , and
you are sure he is going to get well ,
you sympathize with present pains , but
all the foreboding is gone. If you are
in a cyclone off the Florida coast , and
the captain assures you the vessel is
staunch and the winds are changing for
a better quarter , and he is sure he will
bring you safe into the harbor , you
patiently submit to present distress
with the thought of safe arrival. Now
I want to know whether we are coming
on toward dismay , darkness and defeat ,
or on toward light and blessedness. You
and I believe the latter , and if so , every
year we spend is one year subtracted
from the world's woe , and every event
that passes , whether bright or dark , |
brings us one event nearer a happy (
consummation , and by all that is inexorable - i
exorable in chronology and mathemat
ics I commend you to good cheer and
courage. K there is anything in arith
metic , if you subtract two from five j
and leave three , then by every rolling j
sun we are coming on toward a mag
nificent terminus. Then every winter
passed is one severity less for our poor
world. Then every' summer gone by
brings us nearer unfading arboreacance. I
Put your algebra down on the top of I
your Bible and rejoice.
If it is nearer morning at three
o'clock than it is at two , if it is nearer
morning at four o'clock than it is at
three , then we are nearer the dawn oi
the world's deliverance. God's clock
seems to go very slowly , but the pendu
lum swings , and the hands move , and
it will yet strike noon. The sun and
the moon stood still once ; they will
never stand still again until they stop
forever. If you believe arithmetic as
well as your Bible , you must believe
we are.nearer the dawn. "The day if
at hand. "
Beloved people , I preach this sermon
because I want you to toil with the sun
light in your faces. I want you old
men to understand before you die
.that all the work you did for God while
yet your ear was alert and your foot
fleet is going to be counted up in the
final victories. I want all these young
er people to understand , that when
they toil for God they always win the
day ; that all prayers are answered and
all Christian work is in some way
effectual , and that the tide is setting
in the right direction , and that all
heaven is on our side saintly , cherub
ic , archangelic , omnipotent , chariot
and throne , doxology and procession ,
principalities and dominion , he who
hath the moon under his feet , and all
the armies of heaven on white horses.
Brother ! brother ! all I am afraid of
is , not that Christ will lose the battle ,
but that you and I will not get into it
quick enough to do something worthy
of our blood-bought immortality. O
Christ , how shall I meet thee , thou of
the scarred brow and the scarred back
and the scarred hand and the
scarred foot and the scarred breast ,
if I have no scars or wounds
gotten in thy service ? It shall not be
so. I step out to-day in front of the
battle. Come on , ye foes of God , I dare
you to the combat ! Come on , with
pens dipped in malignancy. Come on ,
with tonguas forked and viperine. Come
on with types soaked in the scum of
the eternal pit. I defy you ! Come on !
I bare my brow , I uncover my heart
Strike ! I cannot see my Lord until I
have been hurt for Christ. If we do
not suffer with him on earth , we can
not be glorified with him in heaven.
Take good heart. On ! On ! On ! See !
the skies have brightened ! See ! the
hour is about to come. Pick out all the .
cheeriest of the anthems. Let the or
chestra string their best instruments.
"The night is far spent , the day is al
hand. "
