WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. Senator Pefff-r ha arrived ff-m Kansas. Discussing the roTilt of the recent election he sali the populists had no reason to feel discouraged. "What we have lo.t In congressmen," he sail, " we have more than made up In vote". Th reports generally published would lead people to suppose that we had suffered a material less In all respects in Kansas. Such is not 'he case. In ISM we had about 100,000 vcies in that state; in ll'J2, al-o;u 113"0, and In the lata election from 12),'W) to 125.000. In the face of the fact that about 20,000 of our voters had left th? state on account of the drouih. We fuihd in the election of officers because we were not paired with the democrats, but we lu'.ve every reason to feel encoura'l for the future. In the country at lare I feel confident that when the returns are footed up they will show our total vote to be little les.s than 2.Guü.0f.i. whi.-h L about twice the populist vote .'f two years uro." Wh'-n a?ked If h Inlieved Governor Tillman would co-ojerate with the, populist if ho shoiil 1 t- tlft ted to the senate, Mr. Pe filer replied that he could not say, as Oovrnor Tillman had never outlined his intentions in that respect. He called attention to the fact that Mr. Irby, who supposedly shtivs the political views of Governor Tillnun, had remained in the democratic ranks. "Still." he added, "the time must soon come when all democrats believing as Tillman and Irby do must ally Ihemsjlv" opi-nly with the? populist party. The eastern democrats are to all intents and purposes republicans, and democrats of the Tillman-Irby Ptripe cannot long remain In the same party organization with them." The senator declined to discuss the question of the probable organization of the senate after the 4th of March by the republicans with the aid of such populist, as like h!m?elf, had affiliated with the republican party before they became populists, further than to say that the time wa3 too far distant to speculate upon, and In a general way to remark that If the time ever comes when the populists should hold the balance of power in the senate he had no doubt "they would exercise that power continuously and wisely." Senator Jtevart Lens tiunrileil. Senator Stewart of N?vada was less guarded than Sanxtor Peffcr in speaking: of the assumption that certain of tho populist senators would aid the republican i:i the Organization of the senate. He says emphatically that so far as he is concerned he will net enter into coalition with either of the old parties to secure the organization. "1 don't care," he said, "whbh of th- P'ld pmk'S control tho micninrry of the senate. There is no advantage to in to b- Joined by a combination wi:h either the republicans or the Cleveland democrats. We do nit care for t.o few paltry olllces ther-are to b. best wel and c mid not alt rd to sacrifice our in l"pi nd :nce as a pirty for them. S) fir a?

This would give tha p-Tiulist-3 eitrht senators as against forty-two republicans and thirty-eight democrats after the fourth of March.

Antäte I'oli t Irin n Cun Senreelf I'Ikure on the Rr.uli, BUREAU OF Tili: SCXTIXEL, WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 11. Gossip about the elections of last week Is now beginning- to turn in the direction of the presidential prospects for 1SD5, and even the most astute politician of the republican party can hardly figure out how that aesrregatlori is going to get over tho shoals and k -ep Itself intact for the fray. P.ight at the opening of the nxt congress the leaders will be met with the problem as to what thy shall do with the tariff question. They cannot remain inactive, notwithstanding the fact that th?y know Pnsldent Cleveland would stand unswervingly against any addition to the tariiT burdens of the American people; for inactivity w..u'd mean a practical in-rtory-Tint of the- tariff measure of the democrat:-, and such an indorsement would make their defeat more sweeping thn their present victory.

They realize that this defeat was five to a misconception by the people of th- true Inwardness of the hard tirofs. comb:n-J with the effects of an oft er, and will be very chary of inviting another chastis-m.t-nt. Therefore it will be their great endeavor

EELS GREATLY ENCOURAGED

to prevent any tying of their party to the fanaticism of McKinley and Harrison. Reed will appoint his ways and means committee with that idea. In the senate the same rule, will be followed by the republican leaders. Hut then they are not all powerful. Reed may crack his lash and bulldoro his followers, but he will find that he has on his hands a crowd intoxicated by a success they do not understand and grossly misconceive; and they, unmindful of his presidential aspirations, are apt to run away with him and go the whole length that McKinley and Harrison did on the bill thai was drafted by and through them Ilahcock Indiscreet. Chairman Rabeock has not hesitated to say this all during the week that has passed since the election. He has been marvelously Indiscreet, as ho has given it out to the democrats as well as the republicans, and already signs of anger at his foolishness are appearing on the surface. Republicans who do not realize that the best thing for the party would be only a small majority constantly on the watch against surprises from the minority, would be best, feel that Babcock Is making what they term "an infernal ass of himself." and are proceeding to etate this with an iteration that is not likely to work a wonderful amount of charitable feeling in the heart of the fat man from the north. Reed will undoubtedly be speaker. He has been at the head of the minority in the house for s long aril they hive been under his sway so completely that there it hardly one of them with sufficient backbone to dare to oppose him. Sreti 10. Payne of Xew York will undoubtedly have his head swelled by the success of the party In New York. Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan and Dalzeil of l'ennslyvanra may also be compelled to wfMT enlarged heiul coverings; but nc withstanding this they would be likely to be appalled at the kleU of measuring swords in a speakership contest with a man who has dared in the past to cow them with a word and make them his abject Servants. In cae of a contest these would be the mt formidable men on the republican side, though doubtless Galuha A. Grow ha.s an idea that th speaker's chair would fit his lean and lank form to perfection. But witlh Reed as speaker there would be no very great leader for the republicans on the floor of the house. Crisp would lead the democrats and under him there would be a very rich game. He is one of the beat parliamentarians in the eoun-tx and on the nVor as wtll a in the chair is Pimply superb. The democratic minority, small as It will be, will be made compact and reidy to attack the republicans at any moment, catching them on the tlank when they are divided one against the other r.d Intensifying the confusion Into which they will le thrown by the very unwleldiness of their numbers. Turner of Georgia will b another able leader of the domochats. He Is admitted to be one of the ablest debitors that has been seen in congress in late years. Even Cir Reeil say.H of him that he Is a magnificent leader and can bring the democrats great .trngth. He s in thorough sympathy with Crip and will be right with him on all questions of party policy. Benton McMillin of Tennessee will be prominent als as will CuUxtsoii of Texas, Cobb. Clark and Tarsivey of Missouri and many others who have been prominent In this hou1 and will rmk? an excellent record in the next one. The democrats will be ably represented, ami this is all that is required to bring th m safely into trim for the campaign of ISM. AVill Split on the TnrlfT. Tha lepublk-ans will split upon the tariff qu.es. Ion, but the rick upon which they will undoubtedly founder will be the silver question. Eeexl for a long time has been laboring, with a diligence that does eredi: to his superior ability as a practical political weath -r prophet and soothsayer, to keep on buh sides of the fence on the silver question. Ills utterances have bevn vague and liable to almost any construction, according to the man who has heard or read them. To the West he has professed to be an ardent friend of the free and unlimited coinage of silver; to the East he has whispered in tones us gentle as the softe-st breath of summer that he does not intend to go all the way unail the o:her commercial rations are pvvalled upon to do so; and thus he hopes 't hold to both horns of the dilemma and come out victorious in his campaign for the presidency. But ha has upon his hands the greatest task he has ever undertaken. Out In the western silver states, where the m m of all parties are first, last and all the time In favor of free coinage of silver :t a ratio of 16 to 1, the. republicans have claimed that their party was the one to give it. They have promised that the accession of tht? republicans mearu that this country will "go the whole hog" on the silver question wiithout considering the opinions or actions of any other nation on the face of the globe. Thus was the sort of campaign that was made in Colorado, Idaho. Wyoming. California anl other states of the West where the silver sentiment is strong, and naturally the members that have come from that great region will want to make some showing on their claims. They will Insist, on the passage of a silver bill. In the East, however, the republicans have stood up as the great exponents of the conservative doctrines. They have piously said that the democrats were chasing afur th? phantasmagoria of fiat money an I other things of that sort, and only the election of their own sweet selves could prevent the coun.tr being given over to th who would make free silver their slogan and carry the finances of tha country Into a worse slough than they were lft in by the Harrison maladministration. Now. of course, th.s honst, pious and extremely politic Individuals could not think of going back on any promises they have made especially In view of the fact that they wouM never again succeed if they did and they would set themselves up against the attempts of tha republicans of the West to pledge the rarty to free silver, with tho result of a big" family quarrel being cr the hands of Czar Reed, and an attempt by him to settle the differences so that each side will think he Is favorable to It. and he will thus get the undivided support of hü happy family. Other Questions. On tha lncomo tax, as we", tha republicans will make a great showing. They ara divided on this as well as on the tariff and silver questions, and yet they must put themselves on record one way or another, because the people will demand to know their stand on tho question. Regarding tha organizati'W of the house thjere Is much gossip. Tom McKee, who is known very well in Indiana for his offlee-holding" proclivities, has berti laying his wires all during the campaign to eaich the clerkship, and ha is already rallying his supporters and getting things into shape to make a swoop on the office as soon aa his party comes into power. But he will find himself with a good fight on his hands, notwithstanding hl3 labors for his party. With such a heavy majority there will be a great rush for offices, and the greedy fellows wiil make a great d-ral cf trouble for those who fondly imagine they have th situation In their own hands.

Mr. John w. Thomas, Jr., of Thta. Tenn.. Is a nun with a most interesting history. At present he 13 interested In blooded horses, for which Maury county Is famous. "Few people, I take it," said Mr. Thomas to a r.-porter, who had asked him for the story of his life, "have passed through as remarkable a chain of events as I have and remained alive to tell the story"It was along hi 1SS4. -when I was working In the silver mines of New Mexico, that my troubles began; at first I suffered with indigestion, and so acute did the pains become that I went to California for my health, but the trip did me little pood, and fully Impressed with the idea that my last day had nearly dawned upen me, I hurried back here to my old home to die. "Fiotn slmpla Indigestion inj' malady developed into a chronic inability to take any substantial food. I was barely able to creep about, and at times I wis prostrated by spells of heart palpitation. This condition continued until one year ago. "On th 11th day of April, isn.l, I suddenly collapsed, and for dtys I wa3 unconscious, in faot I was not fully myself until July. My condition on Sept. 1 was simply horrible, I weighed but seventy pound?, whereas my normil weight is 1S." p lutvds. all over my body there were lumps from the size of a grape to the siz of a walnut, my fingers were cramped so that I could not more than half straighten them. I had entirely lost control of my lower limbs and my hand trembled so that I could not drink without fpilling tha liquid. Nothing would remain on my stomach, and it seemed that I mut dry up before many more days hid passed. "I made another round of the physicians, calling in one after the other, and by the aid of morphine and other medicines they gave me, I nun aged to live though barely, through the fill." Here Mr. Thoma3 displayed his arms, and just above the elbow of each there was x large Irregular stain as large as the palm of the hind and of a purple eMor, the spice covered by th- mark was sunken nearly to the bone. "That." Slid Mr. Thorn i, "Is what the doctors did by puttlng morphine Into me. "On the lltla of December. ISM. just eight tn mths after I took permanently to bed I shill never forget the date my cousin, Joe Foster of Carter's Creek, c tiled on me and gave m? a box of Dr. Williams's rink Bills for Pale People, saying they had cured him of partial piralysis, with which I knew he had all but died. I followed his directions and began taking the medicine, as a result I stand before you today the mo3t surprised man on earth. Look at my hand, it is as steady a3 yours: my face has a healthy look about It; I have b?n attending to my duties f r a month. Since. I began taking the pills I have gained thirty pounds, and I am still gaining. All the knots have disappeared from my body except this little kernel here in my pilm. I hive a good appetite and I am almost as strong as I ever -was. "Yesterday I rode thirty-seven miles on horst-btck, I feel tired t iday, but n t sick.

"T know positively thit I was cured by Dr. Williams's Pink Pills, and I believe firmly that it is th? most wonderful remedy in existence today, and every fact I have presented to you is known to my neighbors as well as to myself, and they will certify to the truth of my remarkable cure." Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Tale People are not a pitent medicine in the sense that name implies. They we re first compounded as a prescription and used as euch In general practice by an eminent physician. So great was their efficacy that it was deemed wise to place them within the reach of all.

James W. Forsyth of the Seventh cavalry, FL Riley, Kas. The news of the general's promotion was well received in Denver. It was not altogether a surprise to his friends, as it was generally believed by them that he would b selected for the place. Tomorrow at noon there will be placed on the retired list the commandant of the New York navy yard, Admiral Bancroft Gherardi, one of the few old war commanders now in the naval service, and known in naval parlance as the "S.a Going Admiral." He leaves behind him a career of distinction, full of hard fighting and severe service without a blemish. His total active service amounts to fortyeight years and rive months, and twentylive years and eight months of that service were spent at sea. Even during the seven years he has held the rank of rear admiral In a time when few admirals make more than one cruise under their own pennant, he has been at sea about four and a half years. Admiral Gherardi was born in Louisiana sixty-two years ago, and was appointed to the naval servico from Massachusetts June 29, 1S40. as a midshipman. He became a passed midshipman in 1S52, a master in 155 and was a lieutenant on the Lancaster, attached to the Pacific; squadron, when the wir broke out. The year 1S02 saw him a lieutenant comminder, blockading south Atlantic port3. notwithstanding hi3 BDuthern birüi. From that time to the end of the war he was in the thickest of the fighting, lie was in the engagement at Ft. Macon on the Mohican; commanded the Chocura on the west gulf blockade; the Port Royal on the same service In the battle of Mobile, and finally commanded the Pequot on th north Atlantic blockade at the close of the hostilities. He -was commissioned as a commander In 18Ö6, and captain In 1874, meanwhile seeing service In commands on the Pacific and north Atlantic. One particularly gallant action recorded of him is pursuing in a small tug and securing the destructon of a confederate ram which had succeeded in running a blockade on the MIs!sslppi. Admiral Gherardi became a commwlora in 1S84 and an admiral In 18S7. Two years later he took command of the norjth Atlantic station. In 1S92 he cruised from San Francisco around to Hampton Road3. bringing our Pacific fleet to take part in the great naval review in 1SSC, which was conducted under his command. This wis his last sea service, for in May, 1893, he was placed In command at the New York navy yard, where he retire.?. As a result of his retirement Admiral Greer, at present president of the lighthouse board, becomes senior admiral of the -navy, Commodore Sicard becomes commandant at New York, and the following promotions will follow: Commodore C. C. Carpenter to be admiral, Capt. Rush R. Wallace to be commodore, Commander W. C. Wise to be . captain, Lleut.-Commandsr R. M. Berry I to be commander, Lieut. W. II. Everett to be lieutenant commander, lieutenant, ' junior grade. J. E. Craven to be lieuten ant and ensign, John M. Ellicott to be lieutenant, junior gTa&. COPBMIAWEX A FRKH PORT. Denmark's Trade vrlth the Inlted States Will lie Increased. The news that Copenhagen hi3 been declared a free port is received here with Interest, The opming of ths port of Copenhagen as a fres port of entry marks the inauguration of an aggressive commercial policy for Denmark, by which the government expects to greatly increase its commercial Importance. Count Di Reventlow, the Dinlsh minis ter, explained to the Associated Tress that I

the chang3 does not extend to the tariff rate3 upon Imports, but -offers such advantages to shippers that It will probably Increase materially the commerce of the port.- All tonnage dues upon vessels entering the harbor, which have amounted to a considerable tax upon them, are removed and i nominal pierage charge Imposed) as a substitute. Extensive warehouse Ihccommoditiona arj provided, which enable hlpper3 to store their goods at small cost for resiiipment and distribution among the other ports of the Baltic without paying duty. The system 13 relied upon to make Copenhagen the commercial center of the Baltic and to Increase It incidental business by making It the central depot for the commerce of Russia, Germany. England, th United States and other Powers which passes through ths Baltic, and the station -where transatlantic shippers will leave their cargoes for distribution to other polnt3. Improved machinery for loading and unloading cargoes are provided, and the works of the harbor, which is one of the finest in the world because of the absence of tides, hive been extensively improved. The system is designed to offset In a measure the advantages which Germany expects to realize from the ship canal now building across the peninsula from the Baltic to the North eea. and to give to Denmark a share of the business from the canil. Th United States minister at Copenhagen has declared. In Interviews given to tho press of Denmirk, that the new arrangement will increase the commerce between that country and America.

ADMIRAL GHERARDI RETIRED. Secretary of the XnTy Herhert Writes a Very Imprekslve Letter. WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 11. Secretary Herbert sent the following letter to Admiral Gherardi today: "NAVY DEPARTMENT. "WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 10, 1S94. "Sir It Is with regret that the department issued the order made necessary under the law retiring you from active service in the navy. Your gallant services when in command of the Port Royal at Mobile attracted the commendation of your superior, and the admiration of the whole country; and In peace, you have performed whatever duties were Imposed upon you with fidelity and ability. Your twenty-five years' service at sea have caused you to be knewn as a 'sea-going' sailor, and your four years and more as an admiral In command of a squadron is without precedent In the navy. In command of the lnternaticnal naval review fleet you had under your control ships representing more nations than were ever actually commanded by any admiral in the world, and the manner in which you discharged the duties devolving upon you called forth the praise of the commanding officers of every vessel in the fleet. The Moving cup' presented by them all as a Joint testimonial of their esteem was a tribute, the value ot which cannot be overestimated. "During my long acquaintance with you, covering a period of years, our intercourse has been pleasant and agreeable, and now, as our business relations are about to be severed by your retirement I beg to express my appreciation of your valuable services, which have deserved the gratitude of your country, and add thereto an expression of my high personal regard. Very respectfully. "II. A. HERBERT, - "Secretary of the Navy." EFFECT OF THE XEW TARIFF LAW. Tlie Ilrirralan ICxlntiu? t niler the McKinley 1)111 la Disappearing. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.

GUILTY OF A TERRIBLE CRIME, Farmer VUlnra Spirited Awoy to Avoid n Lynching. FARGO. N. D., Nov. 9. N. J. Villars was brought to the Cass county jail today 'by Sheriff Edly of Stutsman county. Eddy left Jamestown with his prisoner Just in advance of a mob which was on its way to take him from Jail and lynch him. On the way here Vi'.'ars confessed the horrible crime with which he was charged. Tuesday evening Villars went to the farm of Mrs. Fromer, In Montpelier township. Stutsman county. 'Mrs. Fromer saw him at the barn and went out to see what he wanted. When she. approached Villars knocked her down with a club and beat her into insensibility. He dragged her Into the barn and assaulted her, then threw her into the well in the barn, set the barn on fire and left. Tho barn burned to the ground, but Mrs. Fromer, who is still alive, escaped death in the well. Toward morning she managed to climb out of the well and got to the house. Taking her children with her. she crawled on her hands and knees to a neighbor's two miles away and died after telling her story. Villars was captured at Va'J'.ey City and taken to Jamestown by Sheriff Stenhoel. He is one of the oldest farmers in Stutsman county and has a highly respectable family. A large mob gathered at Montpeller and started for Jamestown to lynch him, hut Sheriff Eddy heard of their coming in time to escape. Villars confessed another crime. A month ago Mr. Fromer, husband of the woman he murdered, mysteriously disappeared. Villars says he killed Fromer and that his body will 3oe found buried In a pile of manure back of the barn. TRIED TO "FIX" THE JURY. Six Hundred Talesmen Had Deen Examined Dnrlnar the Past Week. MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Nov. 11. There have been further sensational discoveries with regard to the efforts to "fix" the jury In the trial of W. S. Richardson and H. N. Smith, charged with the sextuple lynching near Mlllington, and tomorrow Prosecuting Attorney Patterson will ask the court to discharge the eleven men that have been secured after a week's laborious examination of COO talesmen. The attorney-general will present to the court an affidavit to the effect that nearly all these 600 persons summoned for Jury service have been selected from among the known friends of the accused, and one Juryman, it will be shown by affidavit, asserted that he would not convict a white man for killing a negro. The attorney-general will also move the court to relieve Sheriff McCarver from duty during the progress of this case. Thl? Is because of the manner In which the sheriff has summoned the Jurymen and the manner in which he has treated the prisoners. The attorney has learned that since the incarceration both Smith and Richardson have been taken surreptitiously by the sheriff to the Kerrville neighborhood on more than one occasion. Butch McCarver, a son of the sheriff, is prosecuting witness in the case and has constantly been In communication with the accused, who, when in Jail, have been allowed extraordinary liberties. A.

WILSON TALKS

He Explains the Causes of Defeat. Hard Times an Enemy to Any Political Party. THE PROTECTIVE SYSTEM Discourages Individual Effort and Thrift. People Have Not Rebuked Tariff Reform. The Senate Must Rear Hs Slmre of the Illnme Lonn Delay In I.cglMln1 1on Annrrnl (he Mhsnck The Reform Rill Obnnitous In Some of Its Fentares. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. In a letter to the Press from Washington, the Hon. William L,: Wilson ot" West Virginia, chairman of the committee on ways and means, gives his views of the causes of democratic defeat in. the recent election. After declaring that it Is neither a discreet nor a dignified thing for a member of a defeated party to attempt to explain his own or hi3 party's defeat, he says: "Nonetheless, however, it Is the duty of the democratic party, after such a reverse to make a deliberate, honest and unsparing scrutiny into the cause and forces which wrought its overthrow and Into the condition upon which it may regain its ascendency with the American people. "Undoubtedly there were individual candidacies and factional fights that contributed to and emphasized the general result, but it must be admitted that there were strong forces everywhere operative that really shaped and brought about ihtt result. And the greatest of all these forces was the severe industrial depression that for a year or more past has hardened the lot and made anxious the lives of a large section of cur people. Hard times is an enemy before which no political party In America has ever been able to make a successful stand In power. "This is, and perhaps always will be. a weak point in popular government. When labor is out of employment, when farm products ore low, when cur tinaiicial system is disorganized, the wisest administration of government and the most wholesome laws do net avail to save a party from temporary and disastrous overthrow. Moreover, the whole teaching of the protective system trains men to depend, not on Individual effort, the plain virtues of industry, thrift and temperance, for bu.ijies prosperity and mate: rial comfort, but on government aid and laws of congress. Let me add, alwo, that we, aopeiher with all our progressive nation, are now passing through an era of change, f un i r JL

rest and of somewhat tumultuous agitation. The rapid adop;ion cf the g.-va; in urumerts of mod rn indus ry and trade, the complete revolution which these are bringlrg about in production ar.d In disftributtion, their steady obliteration of Immemorial handicraft, their dislocs.ion of many IndU3tries all thee, together with the unsettled relations between labor and capital, have ewept us into an era where for some years 1: may be increasingly difficult for any cne party to hold on to the federal government for any long time. "Without attempting to apportion the responsibilities for the 'hard times' between the two rartles ind stoutly disclaiming any large share of it for th democratic party, I rass from thee generalizations to the second point, anl that is. 'the defeat of tariff ref. rm.' I do not believe the people have rebuked or discarded tariff reform in their action last Tuesday, for when I look over the whole country I do not find that to have b en the common ground of their actions. No question was ever so well and so thoroughly fought out in popular d'seussion before them a the question of reforming and reducing the tariff. In everv campaign from that of 18sö to that of"lSH2 it has been the great Issue and In every campaign except that of lss the democratic party has won a decided victory on that isjsue. To contend, therefore, "that the people have now chastized the democratic party for doing what they put inf their power to do is to question their honesty and inteliigrnce. If they have Inflicted chastisement because of its dealings with the tariff, it has been rather because the party did not carry out with sufficient promptness and thoroughness the work they committed to it, ar.d because they have held the whole party responsible for the action of a few of its representatives in thwarting, delaying and maiming this gnat work. The long and Indefensible delay in the senate, the sinister suspicions that gathered around certain schedules and duties as they a;e framed nowhere mow vigorously denounced than in the democratic press of the entire country kindle-d a disappointment end a di?gust among the rank and file of the party that led to apathy and even misjudged hostility in the recent elee'lons. "It is hazardous, of course, to indulge in hypothesis, but I have no doubt that had the bill which passed the house on the first day of February passed the senate as early at April or May, in substantially its original shape, the result In Missouri and in many other sections of the county would have been reversed and the democratic party might even bad weathered the industrial storm with credit, If no: success. "Not only did this long delay and the mutilation of the house bill chill and anger the democratic masses, tut It kept the business of the country in the torture of suspense and uncertainty, thus hardening and exasperating the crisis, and storing up wrath against the whole party for the actions of a small number of its public servnnts. The bill, as finally passed, though 'a vast improvement on the McKinley bill, was still so obnoxious i't some of its features that the president allowed it to become a law without his signature and it has been in operation too short a time before the election for the people to see and appreciate its benefits. "Again, I do not accept the view that tariff reform has suffered defeat, because 1 have not anywhere found republican candidates advocating a repeal .of the law. They have denounced it in general and declaimed asralnsc srrne rates which they deemed locally objectionable, but nowhere presented an affirmative platform demanding its repeal and a return to prior conditions. l:i tariff reform, as in reforms generally, It Is the first step that Is the hardest, as I have always contended in congress and cm the hustings." that if we could only make a substantial breach in the protection system the first

Th cattle train carries cattle from Chicago to Biltlmre for hipmtnt to Uurope. Bwth trains were going at the rate of fortv miles an hour and came together whi.o rjundin?- a curve. Neither crew had time to jump or seund a warnirg. The meeting place for the trains was Piit Grove, four or five miles east of Uv point of collision, where the express hould have takan the siding for th freight.
