six elections yesterday in Indiana, and in on ecf the other two made no fight. The financial letter from Wall street to the Record-Herald said among other things yesterday: Not k®g ago it was impossible to find men willing to bet on Bryan's success even though odds as high as 5 to 1 were offered against the Democratic candidate, while today offers ct 1 against 3% on Bryan’s chances are made by Taft supporters, with requests of odds of 1 to 3. While election betting cdds are not at all reliable as a forecast of the voting result, they certainly carry much weight * n their effect upon sentiment in Wall street. The Delaware county republican majority was reduced from 3,500 to 272 at yesterday's election, and if this is any dope on the November balloting. Mr. Marshall should win by a handsome majority. While the option question played an important part in yesterday's voting, it must be remembered also that in Muncie there are more than 5,000 workmen whose full dinner pails have been empty now for nearly a year—and while figtiring this dope will some one kindly explain why the democrats made such gains in every district in which there was a contest, in cities, towns and country? Can it be the haudwrlt Ing? As it now appear". William K. Taft republican candidate for the presidency, is trying to evade a pelting with Bry an In Chicago, the same having been scheduled for October seventh, when the rival candidates were to be guests of honor at a banquet to be given by a club in Chicago for those attending the deep waterways convention. The two men were to deliver speeches on that occasion. As a result of a change in the itinerary Taft will be in Chicago in the mcrning of October seventh and out at one o'clock. No surprise has been caused as a consequence of this change, but only more clearly demonstrates the authenticity of the report that in a joint debate, which, in all probability

would be demanded, the Ohioan would fall before the mighty and unfaltering argument of Mr. Bryan as helpless as a child. How could he meet the guarantee deposit argument? What would he say in regard to the publicity plank of the Democrat platform? Would he commit himself on the high protective tariff proposition with the mighty Bryan as an auditor? It is scarcely probable that he would, and wise boys of the party, aware of the calamity that would positively be created, have seen to it that no such meeting takes place. HAWKING MACHINES. Catarrh Sufferers are Nothing but Hawking, Spitting and Blowing Machines. Says an Authority Is if possible that in these days when cleanliness and sanitary reform is being preached in the churches, schols and at public gatherings, that thousands of people will continue to suffer from catarrh, when there is an absolutely certain remedy always on hand. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is a pleasant, medicated and antiseptic air. Breathe it in and it will cure ca-, tarrh. It will stop fcul breath, watery ' eyes, and crusts in the nose, in a few days. •'I suffered from catarrh for two years; tried numerous remedies which failed; used one and one-half bottles of Hyomei and am entirely cured.
