ESTABLISHED 1831. A BIG WAGER, OFFER OF $10,000 ON M'KINLEY Is There a Taker for This Offer Harrisburg or Vicinity? in Is there an admirer of Bryan who wants to wager $10,000 that the Boy Orator will be elected President of the United States? If so, he can find a taker right In, this city of Harrisburg. Bring on your $10,000 and back your belief. Great day, but the Democrats are getting desperate. They know that they are sure to lose, and they are starting all sorts of stories about the wicked Republicans.

The latest is to the effect that Mark IlaiMia. is going to spend millions of dollars during the last days of the, campaign. That is very funny, but the funniest fun of the campaign is the story that close Stater are to be colonized with Re publicains from Pennsylvania and the New England States. What utter rot and nonsense. To be sure, we could spare a couple of hundred thousand Republican voters from Pennsylvania, and then, still give the largest Republican majority of any State, but there is no necessity for that sort of thing and starting stories of that character is only done that the Popocrats may have something to fall back upon when they are defeated.

The colonization! charge is an old one. Pour years ago it was started in New York by democrats who said that repeaters from Philadelphia were to be taken to New York on election day and voted for Harrison. Of course there was nothing of the kind done, and there will be nothing of the kind done this year. Major McKinley will not be elected by colonized votes. He will be elected by honest votes and if predictions made after a careful canvass come true he will have three hundred electors for him when the votes are counted.

That he will have a majority of all the electors no sane man at this time doubts the only question now is the size of his majority in the electoral college. A priest in charge of a Brooklyn parochial school collected about a thousand motto buttons from the scholars and made a bon fire of them. This reminds Gossip of something he saw recently in a street car. A very pretty girl, evidently a scholar ira the public schools, as she had several books in her hand and hailed the car just at a point where a school was being dismissed, got on the oar and waved her hand to the girls on the sidewalk. She opened one of the books and was conning it studiously at the same time caressing absent mindedly a button fastened in her wrap.

Gossip was curious enough to read button or buttons, rather, for there were two of them and this is what he read: "If you love me, grim" That was a nice button for a young lady to wear, but the other was equal to it in point of flippancy. It read: "Here's your hat what's your hurry?" Gossip could not help but think that these buttons were sadly out of place. There could be a button bon fire in this city with, good results. Yes, indeed, long haired freaks are plentiful. The jay youth who apes the foot ball players and college men now lets his hair grow to a length that is the despair of the barber and the delight of the snort haired fellow the delight insofar as he pleases to guy the long haired fellow.

What is a sadder sight than to see a youth with hair resting on his. collar surmounted by one of those little dinkey caps? It is a sight to make the gods weep. And when you add a cigarette to the combination the spectacle is one to make a mam feel around in his hip pocket for something to annihilate something. A Harrisburg gentleman who saw Senator Quay in New York last week tells Gossip that the Senator says that Major McKinley will be elected beyond a doubt, but that no effort will be spared to carry as many States as possible. Senator Quay is never at any time an enthusiastic man, but his predictions of victory were made in the most confident manner, so that there is no doubt that be fully believes McKinley will win.

The baggage man no more delights In smashing trunks so trim, For now the bicycle Invites So much more fun for lilm. PKHSONAL. PARAGRAPHS. Brief Mention of the Movement of Vonr Vrlendi and Acquaintance. Mr.

District Court, at Pittsburg, spent Sunday in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Hoffman left today on a trip to New York, Boston, and Providence, R. I.

Mrs. Louis Dingier, of York, passed through this city last night an her way to Laporte, to attend the wedding of her son, Charles, to Miss Anna C. Pusch, on Wednesday.

She was met at this point by her son. Cards are out announcing the wedding on Thursday evening, October 29th, at 8, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Nunemaeher, No. 2225 North Third street, of their daughter, Viola Augusta Nunemacher and Mr.

Goodyear, of Buffalo, N. who, up to the time when President Cleveland appointed Mr. Bis sell to be Postmaster General, was his law partner. Having read in the "Telegraph" the speech delivered by Hon. M.

E. Olmsted before the McKinley Union Veteran League, he writes to say that he considers it "a very clear and able presentation of the views of all intelligent men on the issues involved inl this campaign. I regard it as one of the best that has been delivered during the present political contest. I read the speech of Mr. Carl Schurz, delivered in Chicago, and I beg leave to say that Mr.

Olmsted's does not suffer in comparison with that very able statesman's in any particular, in my judgment." Mr. Goodyear has never voted anything but the straight Democratic ticket. He was an ardent supporter of President Cleveland, and has always been a heavy contributor to the Democratic campaign fund, but he is so disgusted with the results of even partial free trade, but more particularly with the proposed free coinage of silver, that he will vote for McKinley.

Those Steelton Juaiiors sort of evened up on Saturday afternoon for the two previous defeats alt the hands of the High School eleven, inflicting a bad defeat on the local kickers in the presence of about 400 spectators.

The visitors showed their superiority over the home team in every department of the game and were heavier people besides. In justice to the High School eleven it must be said that it was weakened by the enforced absence of Captain Foose, who is laid up with an injured ankle, and several others who were unable to play alt the last moment. Early in the first 'half it was seen that the locals were paying little attention to the signals of their temporary captain, and their support of the runners was spiritless at times. The Steelton men played a strong game and had rolled up a score of 16 to 0 at the end of the first half, which was increased to 28 to 0 when the second half ended. Quarter back Morris did very well.

The High School eleven must not be judged by its first game under the circumstances, and even if a little lisrht. cam be depended upon to give a much bet ter account of themselves before the sea son is very far advanced. The summary follows: Touchdowns, Morris, Orris, Spalding. 1: Nebrnger. 1: sroals from touchdowns.

nONOGBNARUN'S ANNIVERSARY. John Early's Relatives Help Celebrate the Occasion Saturday. On Saturday lst, in Londonderry township, near Bindnagle's Church, Lebanon county, occurred the 90th birthday anniversary celebration of John Early, and a reunion of his brothers and sisters and his children and their descendants. Although he was the oldest in years, in the evidences of the enjoyment of the occasion he was the most youthful. He was born October 10th, 1806, on one of his ancestor's farms, between Palmyra and Campbellstown, and was the son of 'Squire William Early and Catharine Hershey.

Mr. Early at the age of 14 years 1820 was engaged as a clerk in Mr. Baurn's store in Hummelstown, from there he served a short while with the late Joseph Hummel in his store, and then as a clerk in Felix Landis' store, at Spring Creek (Derry Church) and then a clerk at John Wolfersberger's store in Palmyra, and from there to Fontana as a half partner with Philip Moyer in merchandising. Then he formed a partnership with Joseph Bowman ini the general store business in Palmyra and then bought out the Bowman interest and the store of John Wolf ersberger and united the two stores in one and removed the goods to the old Deininger store bouse, where he contin1 ued a number of years, when he sold the same to David Earnest and David Wit mer and they were succeeded by Martin Early, who continued the business for more than a half century. John Early removed from Palmyra in the year 1845 to the Annville factory near the mouth of the Quitapahilla, on the Swatara, where he kept store, farmed, run a distillery and mill and also operated the New Market forge.

Here he resided until the year 1859, when he removed to Union Water Works, where he succeeded Daniel Maulfair in keeping store, and from here he removed to the place where he resides now and which farm is part of a larger tract his ancestor settled on in 1755. In connection with farming he engaged in the manufacturing of iron at Union Deposit. It was while engaged in this business he was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln assessor of internal revenue for Lebanon and Schuylkill counties. This is the only official position Mr. Early ever held, although at one time he was the political boss and leader of Lebanon county.

He preferred at all times to be a leader and give the spoils to his lieutenants. He married Magdalena Suavely, of Franklin county, Pa. She died seventeen years ago and left him the following children: Louisa Early, widow of Henry Light, of Lebanon, Pa. She was present with her children and grand children, Samuel Light and wife and children, Frederick and Margaret; Mary, widow of William Bresslin, and children Daisey and William; Lizzie and husband, John Roberts and their child, Irene; Abraham and wife and children Leigh, Early and Chester; William and wife and children, Leroy and Mary, Leander; Jacob Early, of Illinois, not present; Benjamin Early, of Florida, not present. Joseph Sweeney Early and wife, of Hummelstown, were present, their children as follows: Mary, wife of Chas.

Orowbeyer, of Philadelphia, and child, Joseph Early; Virgie, wife of Norman Helff and child. Norman; Bessie, Ethel; Mary Early, wife of William Shauffer and children, Lueretia and Edna; Lucre Annie, wife of Adaim Reigert, and child, Ezra Early and wife, of Lebanon, and children; Miller, John, Owen, Joseph, Irene. His brother, Joshua Early, aged 78 years, and his son, William, and wife, and their four children and one great grandchild, and his daughter, Anna Keill and children, were present. His brother, Martin Early, aged 76 years, and wife and son, Martin Hummel, of New York city, were present, they having the evening previous celebrated their golden wedding. His sister, Christina Goetz, 75 years old; Daniel Early, aged 68 years, and wife, of Harrisburg, and their daughter, Clara, and her husband, E.

W. S. Parthemore, and their son, D. S. Eanly Parthemore; Mary Wolfers berger, daughter of his sister, Catharine.

From Mechanicsburg came Mrs. Mary Giveler, who remembered the old gentleman as a young man as her father's clerk in the store when she was a little tot. From Hummelstown came Dr. Thomas G. Fox and Adam, Strickler, who remem bered him as an active clerk and business man when they were small boys, although thejvare now men that are bordering on three score and ten years.

When the noon hour came all were invited to the dining room, where the tables were ladened with the good things of earth. After the dinner had been partaken of 'assembled in the parlors to hear an historical address by E. W. S. Partlhemore, of this city, and several pieces being desired by grandchildren and great grandchildren, when the services were brought to a close with an address by Mr.

John Early's brother, Daniel. Mr. Early was the recipient of many useful presents. During the day many walked to old Bindnagle's Church and viewed the interior of the old church, which was erected in the year 1803, and others amused themselves in the old graveyard, which was formed after 1756, reading the quaint inscriptions and telling the reader who the 'Scotch Irish 'had for neighbors one hundred and fifty years ago. FAREWELL TO MR.

WE.VDKL, A Popular German Pastor Goes to Trenton. Rev. Hugo Wendel, of the German Zion Lutheran Church, yesterday held his farewell services previous to going to Trenton, N. J. For the past nine years Mr.

Wendel has satisfactorily filled the pulpit of this church, the congregation of which was loth to see 'Mm go. A large audience was present. His sermon was preached from the 13th chapter of Isaiah, 8th verse. He said he considered this the most appropriate farewell text, and from it preached a powerful sermon, which very much affected those present. After the services the church officers presented Mr.

Wendel with a series of resolutions of thanks which had been adopted by the congregation, and Secretary Dapp, on behalf of the congregation, presented him with a handsome silver baptismal font. At the close he personally bade good bye to each person present. After he retired to the lower room he met with another surprise, Secretary Dapp. presenting him, on behalf of the congregation, with a handsome silver tea set. The good man was so surprised that he could scarce express his thanks.

Mr. Wendel will leave to morrow morning for Trenton. While here he endeared himself to the congregation and the people of Harrisburg, and many regret that he has ceased to be a citizen of Harrisburg. The best wishes of all follow Mm to his new home. Court Brief.

In the case of E. S. Landis vs. Adelie R. Hoffer et a motion for new trial has been refused and judgment directed on the verdict.

In the case of P. S. Light vs. J. W.

Swartz, motion for a new trial, the verdict having been for the plaintiff, Judge McPherson says: This is not the verdict I would have supported, if I had been a juror, but as a judge cannot deny that the evidence was nearly balanced, and that another mind might with equal reason hold a different view. Of a controversy thus doubtful a jury is the final arbiter. New trial is refused and judgment directed on the verdict." Case of motion for new trial in the Peter Bernheisel vs. Simon Smothers et was put down for argument. A Home Wedding.

'A nice home wedding took place at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at 019 Race street, the happy couple being Edward G. Mentzer and Annie M. Sawyer, both of this city. The bridesmaid was Miss Bertha Sawyer, sister of the bride, and the best man was Joseph H. Dare, of the Five and Ten Cent Store.

HEISASTATE OFFICER JUDGE McPHERSON'S DECISION Candidate for Assembly Must be Certified to the State Department. The question raised in the morning papers in relation to the place where the certificates of nomination for Representatives in the General Assembly should be filed, is settled by the court of this county in a case reported in 3 Pennsylvania District Reports, and known, as Page and others against the County Commissioners. The Court, in its opinion, says: "It seems superfluous to discuss the question submitted for decision by this case stated. A member of the Legislature, whose official duty it is to share in the making of laws, and who thus may exercise power over the whole area of the State, and may affect every resident and every property interest therein is certainly not a county or a district officer. He is so obviously an officer of the State that argument would only cloud the certainty with) which the mind assents to this propositioni.

But even if he were not a State officer, section 5 of the ballot law of 1891, P. L. 351, requires his certificate of nomination! or his nomination paper, as the case may be, to be filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and this statutory requirement would of itself be decisive. Judgment is directed to be entered in' favor of the defendants." It is manif est that Judge McPherson regarded the omission of the word "representatives" in the act of 1893 as of no significance, and that the provisions of the act of 1891 are root repealed by the provisions of the act of 1893. He finds that a member of the Legislature is an officer of the State, and that, being a State officer, a certificate of nomination of such member of the Legislature must be filed with' the Secretary ot the Commonwealth, and not with the county commissioners of the respective counties.

The opinion was rendered by Judge McPherson in August, 1894, more than a year after the passage of the act of 1893. A' OTHEU QUKSriO i Robert Snodgrass, Files Objections to Nomination Papers to Get a Baling by the Court. In court to day Robert Snodgrass, counsel for Laubach and Heisler, Republican candidates for the Legislature in the Twenty seventh legislative district, of Philadelphia, filed objections to the nomination papers of their rivals inthe district, Sterr and Boger, his purpose being to get a ruling by the Court on the question that is now agitating politicians in Philadelphia. He wants to know whether nomination papersfiled by two candidates in the same district under the same party appellation is legal, and if so, which one is entitled to priority. The Secretary of the Commonwealth, has decided that where two candidates in a district file nomination papers under the same party name neither will be certified.

It is for the purpose of 'having the Court give a decision that will guide the Secretary of the Commonwealth that Mr. Snodgrass has filed objections. The Court is asked to rule that Laubach and Heisler having filed their nomination papers first under the political appellation of the McKinley Citizens party are entitled to priority and that the other paper is invalid, so far as the use of the party name is concerned. CRANE A NERVY CUSS. He Pleads for Comrades With Another Alan's atch In His Pocket.

James Flanagan', a comparative stranger in town, went into Kobler's saloon, on Pennsylvania avenue, Saturday evening, and pushed a bucket over the bar with the request that it be filled with "beer, and not too muchi suds, either." Mr. Kobler, who was standing near, enjoined his bartender not to sell the fellow the stuff, wherupom the Irishman eot huffy and was finally ejected by Kobler. Ha followed the proprietor back into the place and dealt him a couple "stunners," decorating both eyes. Flanagan faced tine Mayor this morning and heard the latter say "thirty days." Henry Walde, a hard working Pennsylvania shopman, residing at No. 1995 North Seventh street, made the, mistake Saturday evening of drinking the contents of a "growler can" with a crowd of young fellows, on Reily street, near Third, one of whom he did not know.

He was a tall, raw boned Irishman named Mike Crane, who said he bailed from New York, and was hunting for work. Crane did the "rushing" act, and when the crowd dispersed Walde reached for his vest pocket to learni the time of night. But Ms silver watch wasi not there. Neither was the best part of his chain. Walde reported the matter to the police department and Detective Taylor was detailed on the case.

He arrested members of the gang separately and they were examined at the station house. While undergoing examination Crane happened in and protested loudly and at some length that neither of the men in the gang took Walde's watch. He seemed to be so intensely interested in the case that Detective Taylor's suspicions were aroused. These he communicated to Chief Westen, and Crane was placed in the dock after no little resistance, during which he made an effort to strike the Chief. Sure enough Taylor's suspicions were correct.

In one of Crane's hip pockets was found the stolen watch and chain. He railed at and cursed his accusers, but all to no, purpose, and he will stay in jail until court unless he cam find somebody willing to put up $500 bail for his release. It is said that Crane but recently finished a term in Greensburg jail. UVSCAA'A'ON'S JBIG TIME. Two Enthusiastic Republican ass meetings and Parade Saturday.

The motion to adopt the committee report was overwhelmingly defeated and a new commit tee was appointed to further inouire into the troubles and report at the next meet ing or l'resbytery. A GREAT STORM.

It Ripped Things to Pieces on the Atlantic Coast. PMladelphia, Oct 12. A tropical storm which sprang np in the early hours of yesterday morning, rushed along th upper Atlantic coast and inflicted considerable damage on shipping, besides causing the loss of at least three lives north of Cape Henlopen. Late on Saturday afternoon the Government sent out orders to have all the danger signals displayed announcing the advance of the storm and vessels which had cleared and were ready to sail remained at their piers rather than take chances of meeting with a big blow. A Schooner lost.

'Lewes, Oct. 11. The schooner Luther A. Roby, from ScMverie, N. consigned to Souder Philadelphia, with plaster, came ashore at daybreak this morning in a heavy northeast gale prevailing along the point of Cape Henlopen, and almost immediately went to pieces.

Three of the crew were lost and five saved. Since yesterday a fierce northeast gale has been blowing along the coast. The life saving crews have been on the alert, and all last night patrolled the beach on the lookout for vessels in distress. In the early dawn the schooner was seen driving toward the beach. The life savers hastened toward the snot she was heading but she struck before they came op posite to ner.

jserore the crew could get their apparatus in working order the vessel pounded to pieces in the heavy surf. The wind blew a gale all day, and every vessel in the harbor sought refuge behind the Breakwater. Not a pilot boat ventured to sea. The bark Alice, which was anchored a mile west of the Breakwater, began to drag her anchor to day, but two tugs went to her assistance and towed her to a safe anchorage in the harbor. The wind is blowing a fearful gale from the northeast to night and the tide is pil ing up on me snore, it is reared that at high water to nightthe life saving stations on the snore may De swept away.

Gloucester, Oct. 11. Schooner Alsatian, sixty nine tons, of and from Bath, lumber laden, for Boston, capsized off Baker Island this afternoon, and is a total loss. According to Capt. Oliver the Alsatian left Bath Saturday, and at 3 o'clock this morning the wind freshened and the sea increased so that the heavy wind "shifted the deck load and opened the water ways.

A Schooner Ashore. Boston, Oct. 11. The four masted schooner Mabel Jordan, of Thomaston. Thomas Hickborne, bound in from Philadelphia, in ballast, went ashore between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning, on False Pit, a short distance east of Bug Light.

On the Jersey Coast, New York, Oct. 11. Although the wind blew at a hurricane rate this afternoon and night along the New coast very little damage has been reported so far. Throughout the country districts of New Jersey nothing more than telegraph poles and trees are reported down. Accompanying the wind storm was a heavy rain, which in many parts fell in torrents tor hours.

At Asbury Park and Long Branch most of the damage was done by the great waves which were dashed up alonsr the piers and beaches, but as preparations had been made for the storm the damage was not heavy. At these places the wind attained a velocity of fifty miles an hour, and those who watched the ocean from the shore said they had never seen an angrier sea or more terrific waves. At andy Hook the gale was experi enced at its worst. It blew great guns all day and continued throughout the night. Several coastwise steamers, which sailed On Saturday, returned to day and anchored in the Horseshoe to ride out the storm.

At A tlantlc City. Atlantic City. Oct. 11. The storm which struck this place early tMs morning is the severest experienced here for a long time.

The wind blew all day with hurricane force. The rain at times fell in torrents, and cut like hail when the storm was faced. Considerable damage was done in and about the city. At high tide this morning the wreck of the schooner Metcalf, which came ashore one year ago, ana nas oeen lying imbedded in the sand above Massachusetts avenue, was torn from its sandy bed by the force of the waves and dashed with great violence against the iron pier. About one hundred teet ot the pier was knocked down, the inron posts being wi enched from their foundations and the heavy braces broken like strings.

The wreckage is strewn along the beach for several blocks. 1 he storm flooded the meadows back of Atlantic City and at other points along the New Jersey coast yesterday, and interfered somewhat with railroad travel. The old Camden Atlantic tracks across the meadows were completely inundated, and all Atlantic City trains were run over tne west Jersey tracks. There is a washout on the Ocean City Railroad, making it impossible to run trains to that point yesterday, and owing to the tracks on the Anglesea and Holly Beach Branch being covered with water and possibly washed away at many points, and no attempts were made to move trains to those points yesterday. Should the tides subside to day the railroad authorities believe they will have all lines in running order before night.

Still Blowing. Atlantic Citv. N. Oct. 12.

Un to 11 o'clock this morning no damage has re sulted from the storm further than that reported in last night's dispatches. There is no diminution, however, in the storm's iury. j.ne wind is blowing gaie ana the sea is1 very rough and beating the big breakers high up on the beach. Hose Over the Meadows. Cape May, Oct.

12. The tide rose over Cape May meadows last night five feet deep, accompanied by a heavy beating sea. At South Cape May the sea carried away the beach bulwarks and a large section of the avenue road bed and jeopardizing several cottages on its border. The trolley road for several hundred feet was undermined by the surf. Cape May proper has escaped with a few hundred dollars damage.

The storm is the worst for five years. Telegraphic communication, is seriously interrupted and no news has been received from the other "cape shore resort. REGlMEKTAL REUNION. The Gallant Thirteenth Will Hold Its First Here Friday. Friday next the lirst annual reunion of the Thirteenth regiment, Pennsylvania Cavalry, will be held in this city.

There are several hundred survivors of this regiment, and the representation at the reunion ought to be large. The comrades will assemble in business session in the hall of Post 58, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and organize a regimental association. In the evening there will be a big camphre in the Supreme Court room, at which addresses will be delivered by several State officials and members of the organization. Captain Bricker, chief clerk in the Auditor General's Department, was identified with this coniaimiid, which enjoyed the distinction of being the only Pennsylvania cavalry regiment serving with the armies of the Poormne, West Virginia and Sherman. The regiment seived with Sherman tlu ee months after the surrender of Lee.

ive companies of the command were recruited in 1861. and the remaining seven companies in August, 1802. Five of the companies were from Philadelphia and vicinity, and one from Cumberland county. The regiment has heretofore been participating in battalion reunions, but it has been thought best to have a regimental association and annual reunions. A history of the regiment is to be compiled.

A SURE VICTORY, GLAD TIDINGS FROM THE WEST A Claim of 300 Electors for M'Kinley Will be Made Good. Correspondence Philadelphia Record. Chicago, 111., Oct. 11. The Republican national campaigners are banking on 300 of the 447 elctoral votes for McKinley.

They estimate that this will represent as crushing a defeat for Bryian as the defeat of Greely in 1872, when' there was but 352 votes in the electoral college. With the increased apportionment and thie increased number of electoral votes the Republican national campaigners declare that 300 electoral votes for McKinley will represent the greatest victory given to any Presidential candidate in many years. Some of the folks of the Eastern States, so intense Is the interest in the result of thie Presidential battle, have become nervous at times over the evidences of activity in the Middle West ern and Northwestern States in the closing weeks of the campaign. If McKinley is a winner they say, why are Chairman II anna and his associates and the Sound Money Democrats hustling for dear life as they never hustled before? Cause of the Activity. Well, the explanation is as simple as one, two, three.

Candidate Bryan himself is responsible for most of the activity. He has declared over and over again in his speeches: "Even if I am defeated, the issues I represent will still live and they will sro on." The Republicans and the Sound Money Democrats do not propose, they say, to have these demagogic issues live for an intsant after election day. It is declared that these demagogic issues must oe sent into eternal oblivion by an overwhelming defeat on election day. They must be crushed out of all recognition, stamped upon and trampled upon by an indignant people, and that sentiment is the one which the Republican and Sound Money Demo cratic campaigners. M'Kinley Must be Free.

All the work that is How beine dnno in all the States, "Middle, Western, Northwestern or any of the other States, has for its purpose the eomnlete overthrow of Bryanism. McKinley must have a clear swing in Washington. He must have a sound money House of Representatives and a sound money Senate. This job must be mode complete. These are the sayings heard on all sides in thh? citv.

where all the national political camps are centerea. uia political correspondents and old campaigners are in the depths of admiration over the vast machinery in operation at Republican national head quarters. Every department is run with rapiaity, thoroughness and tireless en ergy. Hvery town and hamlet in the Middle North and far Western States is instantly reached by a vast system of direct telegraph wires. The constantly moving army of 400 sneakers and the thousands of agents and silent campaigners are in quick and complete communication with headquarters.

Hanna's Handiwork. Nothing is left to "hearsay" or "they say." Every step in the campaign is known and the information is direct and authentic. All tMs led one of Chairman Hanna's friends to say to him at the Auditorium Hotel to day: "Hanma, you missed your calling. You oueht to have been a general. You would make a Han nibal or a Caesar or a ellington." Hanna blushed like a schoolboy over the compliment.

Xhe Other Mde. Truly, the pace has been, set for na tional campaigners. At Popocratic head quarters things are far different. It is with no desire to be critically offensive when it 'is recorded that everything: per taining to those headquarters has a shif less appearance that is positively distress ing, x'nere aoes not appear to ie system for anything or anybody. It is a go as you please headquarters.

There is always a nautrai simile lor every thing in existence, and it is not going too far to say that the Popocratic headquar ters as compared to the Kepublican JNa tonal Headquarters are very much like a junk shop to lOOton Corliss engine. Mine Owners Won't I'lay. Chairman Hanna is nervy, soringv and determined. Chairman Jones is listless, dreamy and uncertain. Talk with Hanna and you hnd him chock full of vim and fire.

Talk with Jones and you find Mm timid and 'hesitating. He has a faraway look. Hanna is forceful and 'brimful of confidence. Jones acts very much like a man who has been hit with a brick and who is on the lookout for more bricks. It is a positive fact that some of the silver mine owners from whom contributions were expected have closed up their pockets and one of their friends declared to the Record correspondent to day: The mine owners are tired of their speculation.

Bryan is wilful and Shoots around the country in strong McKinley fetates ana has wasted much time. His wou'l'd be national managers aire incompe tent, and as 1 sand, the mine owners are tired of their speculation." Teller Ulves Up Minnesota and Illinois. Senator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado. and Senator "Pitchfork" Tillman, of bourn Carolina, were only a few feet away when this was said.

A moment later Senator Tillman said he was to go to Oregon. Senator Teller said he was to do some stumping in Illinois. Senator Tillman was grim and silent. Senator Teller was downcast, and he talked heavy hearted MjrOing to Minnesota. Senator he was asked.

"Ah, no." replied Mr. Teller. "I have given that State to McKinley all during the campaign. I Lave brother who is running for Congress in one of the South ern Illinois districts. I expect he is to be beaten 14,000 or 15,000, or something like that, but still I want to make a speech for Mm." Senator Money, of Missouri, is to make several speeches for Bryan.

Money, Teller and Tillman are. therefore, only three of the Senatorial Combine who ap pear to be at all in evidence for Bryan. Folks are asking to day what has become of Daniel, White, Cockrell, Vest, Turpie, Harris, Bate and other members of the Senatorial Combine, which precipitated Bryan and the Chicago platform upon the campaign. Voorhees is too ill to talk. His days on earth are numbered.

Not Peep From Bland. Then, too, not a peep has been heard from Richard P. Bland. He has not been heard from since he accompanied Bryan to New York on that trip which ended in the fiasco at Madison Square Garden. Bland worked the silver issue for twenty years, only to be overthrown at Chicago by the catch phrase speech of Bryan.

It is one of the inner secrets of the Popocratic camp that Bryan on that first trip to New York affronted and snubbed Bland. It is 'also known that Mrs. Bryan was very pronounced in her utterances to Mrs. Bland, who is a very gentle and motherly spoken woman. It was on that trip that the Bryans refused to allow Senator Gorman to become a member of the Popocratic Campaign Commiilee.

much to the chagrin ot" Chairman Jones. Senator orman did not attend the Chicago convention. He has made one speech for Mr. Bryan at Ms home in Maryland. Senator Hill remains silent.

Governor John Pardon Altgeld, with Jones, Teller and Tillman, are therefore, as it was remarked, "the main Pops in the Popocratic fight." Must Beat Altgeld. Speaking of Altgeld, Henry C. Paine, of the Republican National Committee, next in command to Chairman Hanna, said tonight: "Beat Altgeld, sure. This job would not be half done if Altgeld is not beaten." Altgeld owns the Unity Building in this city. Like Senator Stewart, he inserts a clause in his leases requiring all rents to be paid in gold.

Altgeld, who wants to be Governor again, may be for free silver, for riot, for twenty other different things, but his tenants vote as they pay rent. They are overwhelmingly for the gold standard. A canvass of the Unity Building shows that 273 of the tenants will vote for McKinley, 87 for Bryan, 24 for Palmer, are doubtful and 12 are non committal. Altgeld has been averse all along to a canvass of his tenants being made; in fact he has taken steps several times to prevent it. In all the other big buildings in Chicago the intentions of the voters doing business there have been asked, and in many of them the answers have been posted in the rotundas in the shape of bulletins.

But every man entering the Unity Building for the purpose of making such a canvass got into trouble at once. Big janitors chased Mm out and elevator men refused to carry him. In short, he found himself classed with "beggars, peddlars and book agents," as the signs read, and he was treated accordingly. Ontwltted by Insiders. The National Sound Money League sent a man over to poll the tenants, but ho was thrown out.

So far as it lay in the power of the owner of the big building, the polities of the tenants was kept as secret as a vote under the Australian, ballot. But fortresses which can defy an outside foe often fall as the result of inside dwellers. While the big janitor at the door could keep strangers with suspicious looking note books out, he could not prevent the tenants themselves from asking questions and counting noses for the edification of a waiting world. A Picture of Altgeld. They speak right out in meeting about Altgeld here in Illinois.

Gen. Dan Sickles in his speech at Rockford yesterday for McKinley and John R. Tanner, the Republican candidate for Governor, said: "If there is anybody in tMs crowd who feels disposed to do me a personal favor I want you to help Tanner skin Altgeld. Bryan is an ass. Watson is a mule.

Sewall is a donkey. Then there is Altgeld he is a wolf. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing four years ago, and so he humbugged the Democrats into making him Governor. Your man has skinned him and taken off Ms Mde, and now he is a skinned wolf. A wolf with his skin is ugly enough, but when you take his skin off and you, have nothing left but his ugly, ravenous teeth and envious eyes, what a beautiful picture it is to represent the State of Illinois." Getting In Last Whacks.

For the next three weeks the efforts in Illinois are to be directed toward crushing Altgeld. The sons of Maine are coming right to the front. Congressman Dingley is here on his way back to Michigan. Congressman Boutelle is oni his way to California, Washington and Oregon. He is to remain on the Pacific coast until election day.

Speaker Reed is to labor in Indiana. Senator Thurston, Senator Cul lom and a dozen other speakers are to make the fur fly in Nebraska. In fact, the three States now under special attention are Indiana, Nebraska and Kansas. A MEXICAN ADVISES COLD. The Governor or Sonora's Strong Argument Against Free Sliver.

Cleveland, Oct. 11. Senor Ramon Carral, Governor of the State of Sonora, Mexico, accompanied by his wife and several members of his staff, spent Friday in Cleveland. The governor and his friends are touring the United States for pleasure, and left at 1 o'clock for Niagara Falls. When the Governor, who lives in a free silver country, was asked for his opinion on the political situation in tMs country, he said: "I have given this subject considerable attention, and I really cannot' sec how any person up here can be other than for McKinley and the present standard.

"Free silver is an excellent thing for a poor, undeveloped but growing country like Mexico, but in my opinion would certainly be disastrous to a prosperous nation like the United States, which stands on a footing with the first nations of the world, and has extensive trade relations with all, which would be disrupted if not absolutely destroyed by a change of the monetary standard. On the other hand, the present standard of the United States has been an excellent thing for Mexico, as well as for your country. Practically all our exports come to this country, and we receive payment in gold, which is equivalent to twice the amount in our money, and these high prices enable us to pay your excessive duties on many commodoties and still make a profit. "If, however, you adopt a silver standard and retain your present tariff, your money will, of course, drop to a parity with ours, and we should receive payment for exports in money worth no more than our own, and, of course, under those conditions, with no reduction in your tariff, we should be obliged to either reduce the wages of our working people, which are already ruinously low, or our manufacturers would be obliged to see their profits cut to so close a margin that it would not pay them to continue the operation of their work. "In short, the ultimate result of the adoption of a.

silver standard in the United States would be to compel Mexico to find a new morket in England or some other free trade country for our goods, or else see all her commercial industries hopelessly stagnated. "You will see from this that the certain destruction of your industries is not the only thing to be feared from free silver, for if Mexican industries are ruined you will suffer indirectly, for nearly all such enterprises, as well as our railroads, are operated by capitalists in the Umted States, to whom we have given, and are still giving, every concession they desire in order to induce them to develop Mexico as well as your own country." POSTAL CARD ELECTION. The Bryan Vote About al Ptr Cent, ot tne total Vote so Far Cast, Chicago, Oct. 12. The total vote so far counted in the Chicago Record's postal card election now reaches nearly 37,000 and the mails are larger every day.

The Bryan vote is now about 21 per cent, of the total vote so far cast, wMch is virtually the same position it showed at the close of the first and second days' counting. Since that time it has fluctuated to 24 per cent, and 22 per cent. This is the result of the latest count: Bryan, McKinley, Palmer, 747. Mailing of ballots throughout the country continues rapidly, and before the end of this week every voter whose name is on the poll list of April, 1896, will have a ballot which he may vote for the candidate of his choice. The ballot for the twelve States which are to be included in the postal card election are being sent cut gradually, and already there is an indication that the vote of Illinois, the first begun in the mailing, will be prompt and large.

Missouri ballots were the next started through the mails, and from now on the others will follow rapidly. FOR 'KIStr Klr. Splendid Victory Assured by Canvass of the State. Lansing, Oct. 12.

The fourteen electoral voteof the State of Michigan will be cast for McKinley. This will occur just as sure as election day comes around. There is no mistake about this statement. It is the positive claim of the Republican State managers after a number of exhaustive canvasses, and it is admitted by the Popocratic campaigners in Iersonal conversations. The Wolverite State, therefore, will not break its record since the organization of the Republican party in 1850, when it cast its electoral vote for John C.

Fremont, and followed up that vote by giving the State to Lincoln twice, to Grant twice, to Hayes, to Garfield and Blaine and to Harrison. CAUGHT IX IKIl'SK. Fonr Men Fonnd Concealed About the Premises. Canton, Oct. 12.

Four men were arrested at the McKinley residence during Saturday night. One was concealed in the garret, a second in the cellar and two in an adjacent outhouse. The men would give no explanation of their it is thought the many valuable gifts sent McKinley recently, induced them to attempt to rob the house. The matter has been kept quiet, but it is learned that the men were released at the request of members of the McKinley household. 11 1.T IIKLDS Reforms Granted to Armenia Kxtended to the Whole JKmplre.

The Times' Constantinople correspondent says that an irade has been issued which extends the reforms granted to the six villayets in Asia Minor last October, to the whole of the Turkish Empire. An Athens dispatch says that the Governor of Mitylene has discovered a plot of Turkish students to bring about a general massacre of Christians, and that four of the ringleaders have been arrested. Ko Fee for Constables' Reports.

Chambersburg, Oct. 12. Judge Stewart has rendered an opinion in a case brought by a constable against the county commissioners to recover the amount of a bill rendered for service under "the act of May 23d, 1803. The constable wanted to be allowed costs for making his quarterly return to court and also for mileage. The commissioners refused to pay the bill.

The judges of the courts of Dauphin, Clearfield and other counties have alreadj' refused to allow any fees for quarterly returns, and some courts have refused to order pay for mileage. Judge Stewart says the matter of making the quarterly returns is something incidental to the duties of the office and must be performed without cost. The mileage is not to be circular, but straight in one direction. Musical Composer Dead. Vienna, Oct.

CANTON RECORDS BROKEN. Saturday's Crowds In Xhat City a Continuous Crush. Canton, Oct.

12 There seems to be no limit to the pilgrimages to Canton. Each week since the campaign opened has tbrought an increase in the number of delegations, the size of the crowds, the distance traveled by the Republicans and the recruits to the cause of sound monev. Each Saturday has set a new record in campaign affairs only to be shattered bv the doings of the next. It was believed that Saturday, October 3d, when more than thirty train loads left the Canton stations and marched to the McKinley home, and when Major McKinley made sixteen speeches in response to introductory addresses, the climax had been reached. But not so.

Last Saturday forty special trains unloaded their burdens at the stations, and, with smaller delegations coming on regular trains, all told they constituted forty distinc'J delegations. These were so grouped and combined that Major McKinley reached all in twenty one responses.

From early morning thousands of spectators crowded the sidewalks to cheer the thousands of marching men wending their way im continuous column to the McKinley home or coining from there to make room for other arrivals. There was scarcely a general vocation followed by men not represented in the day's crowds. Farmers, workingmen, and mechanics, ironworkers, steelworkers, railroaders, miners, machinists, commercial travelers, ministers, editors, missionaries, painters, common laborers, in greater or less numbers, were in every party.

Finely uniformed clubs were particularly noticeable and contributed to the spectacle with which the day's doings concluded. At night the air was, filled with music, the skies aflame with rockets, red fire, and pyrotechnics. BAYARD BOLTS. Be Advises Democrats to Vote Against Bryan and Setvall Wilmington, Oct. 12.
