Mason, Pro SOU Slgrniund Zeisler, Gold Dem. 037 Sound money Democrats of the Sixth Conr gressional District are called upon by leading members of their party not to vote for Vincent H. Perkins, nominee of the free silver Democracy. The address given herewith was issued yesterday and distributed in large numbers through the mails: To Our Fellow-Democrats of the Sixth Congressional District: The undersigned. Democrats of the Sixth Congressional District, urge upon their fellow-Democrats to refrain from voting for Vincent H.

Perkins, the Democratic Congressional candidate, at the special election Nov. 23. And they urge this for the following reasons: 1. That the election turns not upon a question of candidates, but upon a great and controlling question of policy. Mr.

Perkins stands In this campaign for 1C to 1 free silver. Let those who believe In a 40-cent dollar vote for It: but how can men who believe In 100-cent dollars vote for a 16 to 1 silver man? If this issue could be considered for one moment a subordinate one if it were possible to make it a matter of comparative Indifference personal considerations might have a place. But this issue is fundamental in our politics. And how can we juggle with it? Last year was made one of the most critical In the history of our nation by reason of this great issue. Shall we forget or neglect so grave a concern of the public in a single year? 2.

The election of Mr. Perkins on a 16 to 1 platform in a conservative district like ours a district which a year ago gave a very large majority for honest and sound money would be heralded throughout America as a great triumph for free silver. Such an election would do incalculable harm to the just cause for which we all fought In 1806 and for which we must continue to fight until all opposition is subdued. That great cause was triumphant; and It only needs steadfastness to render it henceforth impregnable. We Democrats who believe In It must not let It fail In the Sixth District; nor let the nation get any uncertain sound from us.

3. If we allow free silver to again strengthen Its hold upon the Democratic organization we shall only encourage the dissensions and the separations of Democrats. The free silver heresy is losing Its hold, and the chances are growing that it will drop out and make possible the reunion of Democrats on the old Democratic platform. These chances will be defeated if such experiments as the present are allowed to succeed. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Democratic organization, as well as for the great policy of sound money and for the honor of our district, let us stand steadfastly by our honest and sound money colors, and refuse to vote for a man who stands for 16 to 1 free silver.

Two hundred men plied saw and hammer with haste yesterday at the south end of tho elevated station platform at Madison street and Wabash avenue, and by night the bridge connecting the loop with Schlesinger Mayer's store was completed. Commissioner McGann stopped the work on the bridge at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon and the workmen suspended operations temporarily. At midnight a big force went on and rushed the work in order to complete it on Sunday before an injunction could be served. The city has threatened to tear down the structure if It was completed, and Mr. McGann' action is awaited with Interest.

Meanwhile Levy Mayer, attorney for Schlesinger Mayer, has intimated that the compensation clause in the loop ordinance would be used to prevent any attack on the bridge. Commissioner McGann Is Wroth. Commissioner McGann, when informed" last night of the completion of the store bridge, said he was astonished to hear that Schlesinger Mayer had finished the work after he had served formal notice on them on Saturday to cease. He said they stopped as ordered and told him they would not proceed with the bridge until further action by the Council. I am not disposed to show the firm any mercy," he said.

They were properly served with notice to stop work and they deliberately violated my orders." "Will you tear down the bridge?" was asked. I most certainly shall, if the city law department thinks that under the circumstances, considering the Council's order and the fact that I gave the firm positive instructions not to go on ith the work, I can legally do so. I shall go to the law department the first thing in the morning." Mr. Mayer holds that under the ordinance the bridge into Schlesinger Mayer's was New York, Nov. 21.

General Albert Ord-way died at 7 :15 o'clock tonight at the Hoffman House in this city. When death came the General's wife, his sister. Miss Emma Ordway, Dr. Pease, the attending physician, and Lieutenant Very, a close friend and business associate, were at his bedside. General Ordway and his wife returned from Europe last Wednesday.

They engaged rooms at the Hoffman House. Next day the General was taken sick and he continued to grow weaker and weaker until 7:15 this evening, when he passed away. The General's death was doubtless hastened by the sad and recent events in connection with his wayward daughter, Bet-tlna Girard. The latter, a complete wreck, was a day or two ago transferred to a private sanitarium from Bellevue Hospital. Owing to the pleading of his wife, who had become reconciled to her daughter.

General Ordway finally consented to the return of the prodigal, and a reunion of the family in Washington was arranged. General Ordway's death is attributed by the attending physician to jaundice and pleurisy, which developed from a cold contracted in Paris. General Albert Ordway was born in Boston in February, 1S43. At the beginning of the civil war he was a student in the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard University. He entered the Forty-eight Battalion of Massachusetts militia in April, 1S61, and was made a First Lieutenant in the same year in the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry.

Although the youngest officer in his regiment, he was soon mada Adjutant of the regiment. General Ordway jartieipated in the campaigns in North Carolina in 1SC2. After this he was made an of General Princess' staff and in 1S2 joined the Army of the Potomac. In the spring of 1S04. having accompanied his regiment to Virginia, he was appointed ordnance officer of General Terry's division and served through the campaign of the Army of the James in 1864 as a member of General Terry's staff.

During this period General Ordway rose successively from the rank of Lieutenant to that of Lieutenant Colonel and was given command of a regiment. Later he was made Provost Marshal of the State of Virginia and held this position through a good portion of the reconstruction period. He was one of the last of the volunteer officers to be mustered out of the service and was offered a commission as Major in the regular army. This, however, he declined, preferring to reenter civil life. General Ordway engaged in business in Richmond, after leaving the army and in 1877 took up his permanent residence in Washington.

He maintained at ail times an interest In military matters and upon the organization of the District of Columbia Nominal Guard was commissioned a Brigadier General and placed In command. Jndtfe Thomas Nelson. Worcester, Nov. 21. Judge Thomas Leverett Nelson of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts died this morning at his home in this city after a long illness, aged 70 years.

Judge Nelson was born in Haverhill, N. and educated at Dartmouth College and the University of Vermont. He spent five years In the practice of his original profession, that of a civil engineer. An accident to his knee compelled him to give up engineering, and during the time which elapsed before he was able to be about again he studied law. He was admitted to the bar and acquired a large practice, and was associated with Senator George F.

Hoar. In 1897 he was appointed United States District Judge for Massachusetts. "Sir Charles Edward Pollock. London, Nov. 22.

Sir Charles Edward Pollock, Baron of the Queen's Bench, Division of the High Court of Justice, died this morning in his 75th year. Baron Pollock was born Oct. 31. 1823, the fourth son of the Rt. Hon.

Second Chief Baron Pollock. He was educated at St. Paul's School. From 1841 to 1844 he was private secretary of his father, then Attorney General. In 1847 he was admitted as a barrister of the Inner Temple.

He was made a Queen's Counsel in 18K6, Baron of the Exchequer in 1873, Justice of the Exchequer Division of the High Court of Justice in 1875, and in 1879 was appointed to the Queen's Bench Division, with the rank of Baron of the Court. Henry E. Molser. Henry E. Molser died of Bright's disease yesterday at his home, 2128 Laflln street.

He was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1S22, and has lived in Chicago since 1849. He is the second person to join the Salvation Army in this city. He was mustered In twelve j-ears ago. The army will aave charge of the funeral, at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Princess Rink, on West Madison street. properly built, and that any attempt to remove it would be the abrogation of a contract, freeing the loop company from lta obligation to pay compensation to the city.

Levy Mayer's Views. The Council granted the company th desired ordinance," Mr. Mayer said. It is too late to undo the work, now that the chickens have come home to roost. Tha ordinance either constitutes a contract or it does not.

If it does, then its obligations are inviolable and its terms as unbreakable as the federal constitution Itself. The United States Supreme Court and the higher tribunals of this and other States have uniformly held that an ordinance, when once accepted, cannot be altered, changed, or modified by the City Council without the consent of the company to which it was granted. The ordinance expressly gives the company the right, with the consent of the abutting property occupants to build stations, bridges, and passageways. Take away any part of that right and the fabric upon which the company's obligation to the city rests crumbles." David Mayer Is Told. David Mayer was not in the city yesterday, but gave his views over the long-distance telephone from Milwaukee.

President D. H. Louderback of the Union Loop company talked to him over the telephone at 5 o'clock. Mr. Louderback said he could say nothing; more than had been said by Levy Mayer.

The fight against the new bridge, the first one to be completed along the line of the loop, promises to be exceedingly lively. Almost all the property-owners in the vicinity have joined in a petition to the Council to have the structure removed. vv auuui a. xuuill.ll oia. She came into the world at the home maternal grandmother, Mrs.

Collin. I6o East Thirty-sixth street. She is the Princess Illyuda, her mother being Queen ilialie, who was Miss Ella Collin of New ork. About six years ago John F. Hobbs, a citizen of South Carolina, was cast upon the Island of Illika.

He lived among the natives, for he could not get away then. He taught the uncivilized people many things and instructed them in arts unknown to them. So, when a year later their King died, he was chosen to rule over the four islands. Mr. Hobbs had a commission to the World's Fair and to the Atlanta exposition.

While in New York last year in May on his way to Australia and his far-off kingdom, he met Miss Ella Collin and made her his wife, wife of King Oumalea of Illika. and postponed his trip to this kingdom. But now, as soon as the tiny Princess Is able to go, the royal family will begin the journey. The natives of the Island of Illika are akin to the Samoans. It is said Mr.

Hobbs once refused an offer by England of 13,000 and a Knighthood for his little kingdom. Dr. Carleton Simon of this city believes that at last he has discovered the real secret of sleep. The little Heal nerve cells at the Secret of base of our brain contract when we are Sleep. tired, and thU3 the connection between them Is lost.

Just as electric action ceases when the current is turned off. Sleep follows. After a while, when the nerve cells have rested, their shrunken bodies are filled with a new vitality and connection is reestablished. Then we wake. In discussing his discovery Dr.

Simon said: It was Rabi-Runald. a German experimenter, who first enlightened, in the scientific world with the fact that he had discovered that the nerve cell, or what might be termed more properly the ganglionic bodies of the nervous system, had an independent or amebboid movement. This was doubted at first but was verified by others, and latterly by Dercum. It was suggested by the latter that this might be a cause of sleep. This "suggestion was taken up by myself, and I believe I can show by physiological experiment that this theory is true.

These cells, or neurons as they are called, are throughout the entire nervous system. They are most active in the resti-form tract of the medulla oblongata, or base of the brain. I believe, with Dercum. that the functions of these cells, aside from their influence on metabolism, are a means of conveying mental impression upon cur physical body. And when they coalesce with each other they produce a chain, as it were, through which means a current or vibration may be sent through to the desired point.

Should they, however, contract so that their sides do not touch each other, a break takes place and continuation of any impulse is interfered with. Thus it is possible that the nerve force of cells being used up by the function of nerve transmission and metabolism, it would be but natural that they would shrink and contact with each other no longer be established. After the cell has again regained its full strength by rest and Inactivity It grows and contact is reestablished. Thus, after a good rest, is the cellular nerve force recruited, and increased activity, both mental and physical, results. The fact of this especial action alone would not make It apparent, and nerve cell connection or disconnection is the cause for sleep, for it does not sufficiently explain complete unconsciousness of motor and sensory being.

When, however, I found that in the medulla oblongata those cells were more abundant and active I came to the conclusion that here in the medulla oblongata was the true seat of sleep, the neurons, however, being the means and cause of producing this condition primarily here. The medulla oblongata being the termination of the true brain, in which our consciousness of self reposes, and that here being the center of all physical power, it is here that the greatest effect is felt of these neurons, and sleep results."

The Rev. Dr. Henry Frank of Dover. N. a week or two ago made a tour among some of the churches In Goes to Greater New York.

He went in the garb CAiUicn of a me- DisTlised. chanic to see whether any wealthy church would receive him cordially. In one church he stood seventeen minutes and then went out and no usher offered him a seat. In another church he took a seat, but very soon a large man laid a heavy hand upon his shoulder and brusquely demanded to know what right he had there, and ordered him cut. He visited five churches and was treated similarly In all.

Dr. Frank preached to his congregation today In Dover on the subject of his experiences in New York, saying that after fully satisfying himself of the rpirit that governs these churches he pronounces them to be uncivil, devoid of human sympathy, hardhearted, and Insolent. He denounced their prayers as brazen acts of mockery and their worship as glaring hypocrisy. Rupture cured 100 if fall htJd Dr. Parker.

68 Stkte-itX Chici. 30 years' exixarUJics. The movement to have the official conduct of Assessor It. C. Gunning reviewed by the grand jury has by this time grown much beyond the direction of the Taxpayers' Defense league.

It seems now there are scores of taxpayers in the South Town who are eager to have the inquiry reach a positive result in indictment against whosoever shall prove to be responsible for the Injustices and the alleged extortions. For the present, however, all efforts will be turned towards establishing a charge of malfeasance in office. Men who are pushing the inquiry declare that nothing beyond the records of the court and of the South Town office is necessarv to convince the grand jury that the South Town Assessor nullified the requirements of the revenue law by his action in adjourning the Board of Review before property-owners had the privilege allowed them by law to learn what the assessments on their property were and to protest against them in cases where they were unfair. Provision of the Law. This provision, of the law.

according to Section 86 of Chapter 120 of the Revised Statutes, is: In counties under township organization the Assessor, Clerk, and Supervisor of the town shall meet on the fourth Monday of June for purpose of revising the assessment of property in such town. And on the application of any person considering himself aggrieved, or who shall complain that the property of another is assessed too 'ow, they shall revise the same as may seem to them just. And they shall adjourn from day to day. upon notifying those present of the date to which they adjourn, until they shall have finished the hearing of all cases presented to'them." A provision in the criminal code is quoted as a complement to it. It is Section 08 of Chapter 38, which reads: Every person holding any public office (whether State, county, or municipal), trust, or employment, who shall be guilty of any palpable omission of duty, or who shall be guilty of willful or corrupt oppression of malfeasance where no specific provision shall have been made for the punishment thereof, shall be fined not exceeding $10,000, and may be removed from his office, trust, or employment." The position taken by those who now criticise the action of Assessor Gunning is that this statute plainly contemplates that all assessments on real or personal property shall have been made prior to the time of meeting of the Board of Review.

It Is held, also, that the intention of the law was that the Assessor's books would be produced at the meeting of the board. Books Not Produced. That Gunning did not produce his books, these taxpayers say, can be shown by the records of the court, by Gunning's own statement, and by the testimony of muio property-owners in the South Town The fact also that Gunning nullified the order of Judge Payne by taking an appeal is counted as against him. The case of John T. McKane, a Supervisor at Gravesend, N.

is cited in this connection. He refused to produce a poll list so that citizens might review it, and disobeyed the order of the court. The principal evidence against him was this single fact, that he "had set the order of the court at naught. In one instance in New York there is on record a case where the entire Board of Excise Commissioners were convicted because, after hearing a complaint against an exceedingly high assessment, they deferred action on it until their decision would afford the aggrieved man no relief. As pertinent against Gunning's procedure his er.emies now quote an opinion once given by Ju.lge Sidney Breese of the Supreme Court, which has to do with the section of the law quoted.

Of this he once said that it was a constitutional provision, calculated to give redress to those who furnish the revenue by which towns, cities, States, and the republic itself is sustained," and that the violation of any of the provisions of the law so sacred and valuable to the citizen should be visited by swift and condign punishment." Citizens Denied Bedress. It is said that citizens were denied this redress against the South Town Assessor's office by the refusal of the privilege of inspecting the assessment books, and so of making an appeal to the Town Board of Review, which is the foundation for a later appeal to the County Board of Review. As to the facts themselves there is no dispute. On June 28 Gunning, Clerk Barnett. and Supervisor Sheehan met as a board of review.

Sheehan, who then had the assistance of Barnett, proposed to allow complaints to be heard, and ordered Gunning to produce his books. Gunning said that he would not, and. in fact, that he had made no assessments on real estate and only a few on personal property. There were 300 objections then on file, and an adjournment was taken to the next day. In the meantime Barnett was brought over to Gunning's side.

With the majority in his favor it was voted that the books should not be produced, and the board adjourned. The same program was carried through on June 30 and July 1 and 2, although the protesting property-owners were on hand eacn day clamoring for an opportunity to make their legal protest to the assessment. Gunning refused to recognize any owner of real estate, and set every protest at naught. Judge Payne Issues an Order. Supervisor Sheehan carried the matter to Judge Payne, and obtained an order commanding Gunning to obey the section of the law quoted, and to continue the sessions of the Board of Review until the taxpayers had a chance to be heard.

From this decision Gunning appealed, and from that time gave the taxpayers no opportunity to be heard except behind closed doors. It is charged by many that the South Town was swarming with go-betweens," and those men who did not accept their proffered assistance in getting their assessments reduced were taxed from three to four times as much as their neighbors. IL J. Furber is one of this number. He said last night: A number of men came to me and offered to fix my assessment, but I declined to have anything to do with them.

My tenants in the Columbus Memorial Building were similarly accosted. I told them all to have nothing to do with these men. And now I believe I have the honor of paying the largest personal tax of any man In Chicago. It is larger even than that of Marshall Field." S. M.

Nickerson. President of the First National Bank, said: I myself was not approached, but I understand some of the officers of the bank were. We refused to do business with them, and our assessment Is much larger than it was last year." W. D. Messinger of the firm of W.

D. Messlnger Co. said: "A couple of months ago I had in my possession evidence enough to convict several of these go-betweens. But they were not the ones I was after. I wanted Gunning.

If the grand jury- is In earnest I will do anything I can to aid it." MRS. ELM IRA ARMITAGE IS DEAD Old Uesident Succumbs at St. Elizabeth's Hospital to Burns from an Explosion.

BOSLEYS AGREE TO DISAGREE. New York. Nov. 21. Special.

William F. Burden, the rich clubman and society man of Newport and New York, died very suddenly at the Astoria tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Burden had come from their ummer home in Newport to attend the horse show, and to spend the winter in this city.

Mr. Burden, who always looked the picture of a healthy man. never felt better than he did today. He and Mrs. Burden had just ordered dinner.

They were about to leave their apartments in the Astoria to go down to the dining-room when Mr. Burden complained of a pain in the stomach. Almost before Mrs. Burden could reach her husband's-side he gasped once twice and fell. In four minutes he was dead.

Physicians said the cause of death was heart disease. Mr. Burden owned a magnificent house in Ocean avenue. He was a member of many clubs, including at Newport the Reading-Room. Casino, and Spouting Rock Beach association, and in this city the Union, Williams' Alumni association.

University, Reform, and Manhattan. It has been practically decided by the Democratic leaders that there will Be no public demonstration Van Wyck -when Mayor-elect 1 Simple Van wyck is ofScial- ly Installed in cflice Inaugural. Jan. l. This will be disappointing news to many Democrats of Greater New York, who have flooded Judge Van Wyck's political friends with demands for a big inaugural celebration.

In which the rank and file might participate. The Mayor-elect, however, has himself discouraged the idea, and his friends believe if it came to the point of positive refusal he wouldt not hesitate to refuse. It is said his Inaugural address will be as brief as possible. Sealskin has rone out. Persian baby lamb has come in.

Every woman with any pretension to smart dressing has a bit of Persian baby lamb Woman somewhere about her Newest ttreas- very ex pensive. A Persian Cruelty. blouse of Persian baby lamb costs $300, and It will wear decently about two years. It Is made from the skin of the unborn lambs. The ewes are fed on certain foods which stimulate the delicacy of the fur, and then the ewe Is killed and the little unborn lamb is skinned.

The skin Is not much bigger than the breadth of a pair of decently sized hands. It Is the finest and most delicate fur In the world. Two women with the little silver cross of the King's Daughters pinned upon their gowns bought a baby lamb coat apiece up at a Fifth avenue shop the other day. And a woman who belongs to two societies for ethical culture and the Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals bought twenty-five of the skins to make her daughter's skating dress pretty. Several prominent women have been asked to give their opinions of this species of cruelty which fashionable women indirectly abet.

Mrs. John A. Logan says: I am heartily In sympathy with the Humane and Audubon societies in their efforts to bring about a reform in the personal adornment of the fairer sex. It Is undoubtedly true that the demand governs the supply, yet the fault rests largely with the dealers who make such tempting displays of brilliant plumage and furs in their large windows. Women in the aggregate are more apt to Indulge their fancy in this line through ignorance of the methods used in obtaining such adornments than through thoughtless cruelty.

I venture to assert that were the truth known not one in ten would care to Indulge at the expense of such wanton cruelty. Personally, I am in favor of sacrificing a little vanity for the preservation of animal life In all of its forms." Mrs. John Sherman, wife of the Secretary of State says: "I am heart and soul in favor of a cessation of the wanton slaughter necessitated by the love of personal adornment among my sex. It Is simply a case of Inexcusable ignorance on the part of the majority. I am convinced that were the case placed fairly and clearly before them there would be no hesitation in choosing between vanity and common humanity.

The cruel murder of the mother sheep to secure the skin of the unborn lamb, that adds to the market value of the costly Persian lambskin, seems to me too horrible to contemplate. Every woman with a heart in her bosom or a spark of Justice in her character must unhesitatingly condemn this double destruction of life, no matter at what personal cost. I have always endeavored to live up to my convictions. The Secretary also entertains the same views and never hesitates to express his disapproval of the wearing of birds as adornments. Even wings that have been obtained through less torturesome means are objectionable to him." Mrs.

Rainsford. wife of the Rev. Dr. W. S.

Ralnsford of this city, says: I do not believe that women are cruel. Most of them are simply ignorant. I think it Is the duty of every woman who knows about this wretched business of the Persian baby lamb to tell the women -who do not know about it the truth. I know many women who wear Persian baby lamb coats who would go to" any amount of trouble to save any one or any animal even an instant's pain. They w-ear this Persian lamb because it is fashionable and because it is pretty and If they had the faintest idea that a living creature died in horrible agony to furnish the fleece for that fur they would not be cajoled into wearing it for one moment.

Persian baby lamb will go out of fashion. I believe it will when women know the truth about it." These ladies all expressed themselves as op-Posed to vivisection. ani Mrs. John Sherman even Inclined to the abandonment of meat eating. The microbe of common baldness has been discovered.

This announcement is made by Dr. E. Sabourand in Microbe a very lengthy and i 0 technical article In the Annals de Derma-Baldness, tologie. the leading French periodical in this department of medical science, which has just reached here. Dr.

Sabourand states in the first place that common baldness calvitie vulgaire. he calls it is usually accompanied by oily seborrhoea. This is an affection of the scalp In which there is an excessive flow of sebum, an oily fluid de-sjpied to moisten the scalp. This seborrhoea is caused by a microbe, or, to be more technical, a micro-bacillus. Lr.

Sabourand has observed that the colony of microbes insinuates itself in a fine stream into the minute opening between the hair and the epidermis of the scalp. It causes an irritation, which is shown by the formation of successive horny Jarers which encyst the microbe colony. This cyst does not surround the hair, but pressesagainst it literally. Then begins the Process of infection of the hair ollicle. which Ir.

Sabourand divides into four stages and describes minutely. The first is the excessive sebaceous secretion. The excessive secretion is soon followed by glandular hypertrophy, or excessive growth of the gland. In time new glandular lobules form and the gland becomes enormous. The third stage is progressive decay of the Infected hair follicle.

derangement of the coloring process of COUNTY DEMOCRACY AT ODDS. Organization Names Ticket of Ofacers, Dropping Van Praag and Others Sharp Arguments. The annual election of the County Democracy will be held a week from next Sunday. It became evident that a sharp ftght will occur at that time at the regular meeting of the organization yesterday, when the Nominating committee reported the renlar ticket. With three or four minor exceptions, the ticket embraced the present list of officers, and it is because of this and the fact that South Town Assessor Gunning was substituted in the place of one of the South Side Executive committeemen that the regular ticket is to be contested.

The ticket reported is as follows: President John Powers. Vice Presidents J. H. Brunjes, Robert E. Burke.

Miles J. Devine. Secretary James J. Gray. Financial Secretary A.

J. Sabath. Treasurer James C. Dooley. Marshal James H.

Farrell. Quartermaster Dennis Galvin. Assistant Quartermaster John G. Hoeger. Executive committee South Side: R.

C. Gunning, W. J. O'Brien, A. J.

Toolen. North Side: Walter Magnus, J. H. Sullivan, P. E.

Shirley. West Side: John H. Dullard. Dr. D.

G. Moore, James R. Pyne, James McAndrews. Country towns Thomas J. Powers.

Gunning and A. J. Toolen were substituted in the places of Sol Van Praug and James Cummings on the South Side, Dennis Galvin was named as Quartermaster in the place of August Schweim, and City Attorney Devine was given the position of Vice President in the place of Justice La Buy. There has been a steadily growing feeling in the organization for a considerable time past that its affairs were being run by an exclusive few, and it was charged at the time the Nominating committee was appointed that it was named for the purpose of continuing the present officers and clique in power. Sol Van Praag took no part in the debate which arose over the proposed naming of judges and clerks for the election, the opposition to the regular ticket desiring representation thereon, but after the meeting he strongly denounced the regular ticket.

After a spirited debate the ru.ming of the judges and clerks of election was postponed, President Powers being authorized to name such as seemed necessary, the understanding being that the opposition would be granted representation. The opposition was also given a week to prepare its ticket and report at a meeting of the organization to be held next Sunday. It was decided after some debate to hold an annual ball, the date being set for Feb. 21, and the place the First Regiment Armory. A sharp debate arose as to whether it should be a dress or masquerade balL The dress ball was finally chosen.

Resolutions of thanks to Tammany Hall for the reception extended to the Cook County Democracy at its recent visit to New Tork and rejoicing upon its victory in the recent Mayoralty contest were adopted.

Editor of The Tribune. So far as meetings and speech making go the campaign is at an end. The work remaining to be done rests with those who have been delegated to see that the voters turn out on election day and do their duty. Everything now rests with the voters. The verdict is in their hands.

The indications for my election are most favorable. The results of the campaign convince me that the people of this district are more strongly in favor of sound money than ever before. That they firmly believe in protection for American industries has been shown by the enthusiastic manner in which discussion of this question has been received. In many respects It has been a remarkable campaign. Our meetings have been surprisingly large, thus proving that the people of the Sixth District are aroused to the importance of the election.

This fact gives me reason to predict that the vote will be large and the majority in our favor a good one. Henry Sherman Boctell, Republican candidate. Statement by Mr. Perkins. Chicago, Nov.

21. Editor of The Tribune. There is not much I can say that has not already been said. The talking part of this campaign virtually ended last night. It now rests with the voters to decide whom they will have to represent them in Congress.

I believe the verdict is going to be in my favor. I base my prediction of course upon the crowds that have attended and the interest shown by the people at our meetings, as well as upon daily conversations had with hundreds of citizens. The fight has been a clean one, and I feel that I have had the best of it all along. This will be shown when the ballots are counted next Tuesday and give me a majority to the tune of 3.000 or more. Vincent H.

Perkins, Democratic candidate. Stewart Confident for Boutell. Chicago. Nov. 21.

Editor of The Tribune. This fight will not be permitted to lag until the ballot boxes close on ejection day, but from now on all our efforts will be directed to getting out as large a vote as possible. With anything like fair weather I believe the total vote will be big enough to elect Mr. Boutell by from 3.O00 to 4,000 majority. We have left nothing undone to arouse the Republicans as well as all other friends of sound money and good government to the importance of placing a man in the seat left vacant by the death cf Edward D.

Cooke who can be of some benefit to our district. Everything considered, it has been a remarkable campaign. I have been surprised at the interest shown in our meetings. Every hall has been filled to overflowing by as enthusiastic crowds as attended the great rallies for McKinley, sound money and protection last fall. Graeme Stewart.

Chairman Republican Campaign committee. Fitzgerald Sure for Perkins. Chicago, Nov. 21. Editor of The Tribune.

I predict that our candidate, Mr Perkins, will be elected by a handsome majority. We have made a thorough campaign, and have reason to believe a majority of the voters are with us. The organization Is In good condition for getting out a big vote. We depend upon the people who work for a living, and who have been told by the Republicans that prosperity has been brought to them. They know better, and will repudiate the pretense with their ballots next Tuesday.

If there are any Indications in meetings why, we are sure to win. All our meetings have been largely attended, and Mr. Perkins has made friends everywhere. John E. Fitzgerald, Secretary Democratic Campaign Committee.

It all rests with the voters now to say whom they will send to Congress from the Sixth District. They have had all the evidence of both sides presented to them and heard the arguments. Their minds must be made up. The important thing remaining for them to do. therefore, is to go to the polls tomorrow and cast their ballots.

Extensive plans have been completed and set In operation to keep them constantly reminded of this. Approximately It is estimated there are 47.000 voters residing in the district. Last Saturday night the Republican Campaign committee sent to each one of them through the mails a notice of the special election tomorrow, together with a specimen copy of the ballot. Those who did not receive these notices yesterday will get them this morn-Ins. Work at the Polls.

There are thousands of men who Valley View, Nov. 21. Special. Dora Richardson Clay, the child wife, today asserted that she was undecided as to when she would return to the home of her husband.

General Cassius Marcellus Clay, at Whitehall. Said she. naively: You see I was very young when I married Mr. Clay and I scarcely knew what I was doing. I don't think I would ever have married him had it not beeen for my brother Clell, who begged me time and again to consent to become Mr.

Clay's wife. I knew he was far above me and I could not see how he could love a little, ignorant girl like me, but Clell kept on insisting and at last I gave up and we got married. He told me that Mr. Clay would educate me and give me all the nice dresses I could wear, and that I would be a lady. I was afraid he would not do what Clell said he would, but I believe he intended to do It all the time.

He has had a number of teachers for me, but I soon got tired of them and do not care to keep on trying to read them old books. He tried to have me taught music, but it was so much practice that I don't believe I will ever make a musician. Yes, he bought me a piano and a banjo, but there is one instrument that nobody seems to have heard of and that is the accordlan. He bought me one of the nicest ones you ever saw, and I can play on It some, too. Yes, I think Mr.

Clay Is a great man. but it's so lonesome there with him. Here is his picture when he was 35 years old. Wasn't he handsome? Here another picture of him when he was United States Minister to Russia. Look how fine he was.

See his uniform. Isn't it pretty? Isn't he grand looking?" Then she produced a picture of the General taken a few months ago, and, with a siph, she said: But that is the way he looks now. He is so old. It's a pity; don't you think so? We got along very well until Mr. Clay went to Cincinnati several months to have his eyes treated.

While he was gone he got Nannie Blggerstaff. the daughter of a neighbor, to stay with me. The young men who called upon Nannie of course would talk to me. When Mr. Clay came home somebody told him that I had not conducted myself right while he was away.

I told him the people wore telling him lies about me and he said he thought so too. From that time on I was not altogether happy." Anthropologists Elect Officers.

21. Special. Editor B. Blackburn of the Daily Commercial announces himself for Congress from the Fifth District, to succeed Colonel Livingston. As will be seen by his announcement, he adds very important matter of his own make to the national Democratic platform.

I am a candidate for Congress," says he. I am always frank. I believe a Democrat having some ideas of his own. For instance. I am in favor of lynching brutes for the usual crime, because I believe that It is our religious duty to keep Southern homes pure and undefined.

I am a Southern Democrat and I don't want Maine to dictate principles to me. I never have, so help me God, I never will hedge on Southern sentiment. I believe the South was right In the '60s. and I believe the sentiment of its people will sustain me today." IRON BRIGADE IN A RALLY.
