The expected joint debates between VV. D. Owen and William R. Myers, the respective heads of the Republican and Democratic tickets, which were to be held in each Congressional district, have been abandoned owing to the illness of Mr. Owen. Chairman Gowdy sent Chairman Taggart a letter, saying he had received a letter from Mr. Owen, who is under treatment at Battle Creek, Mich., that he realized he was still physically unable to address an audience. Mr. Owen says it is with bitter reluctance that he is compelled to take this step. His condition has caused the party leaders much anxiety.

Our neighbor of the Dem. Sentinel is greatly distressed because of the alleged small attendance on Hon. Smily N.Chambers’ speeches, in Rensselaer. Mr. Chambers spoke both afternoon and evening, and in spite of the fact of the confusion arising from changing his hour of speaking at the last minute, from 1:30 o’clock to evening, and then back to three o’clock still there were between 250 and 300 persons who heard one or the other of his speeches. In contrast with this under the circumstances, reasonably good turnout, was the audience at the great democratic campaign opening, last Saturday evening, when at no time was there, by actual count more than 30 persons present during Mr. Collier’s speech;

“In 1892,” says an exchange, “Massachusetts elected a Democratic governor by a plurality of 2,534. The Democratic candidate in 1893 was defeated by 35,697 votes. In New York, a Democratic plurality of 45,518 in 1892 was reduced 70,002 in 1893, or the Republican plurality was 24,484. In Pennsylvania the Republican rose from 63,747 to 135,146 under the influences of the Cleveland yeast powders. The lowa plurality of 22,965 in 1892 grew to 32,-

| 357 in 1893 by the fertilizing qualities of Clevelandism. In Ohio, a Republican plurality of 1,072 iu 1892 under the blessed influences of a Cleveland administration swelled to 80,995 in 1893. Little Rhode Island boomed 185 into ! 4,500. Vermont elected a Republican governor, in 1892, by 19,702, and after a careful study of Clevelandism and tariff reform elected a Republican governor the other day by 27,000. Maine, still more injured and indignant raised a 12,531 plurality to 37,000. Such are the genial and missionary results when Cleveland gets to work.”

Senator Allison is giving the lowa farmers very interesting figures regarding mortgages. New York has almost as large a mortgage indebtedness as all the Northwest, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and lowa. The Populists have misrepresented the condition of western farmers too long. It is time for Republicans to show their falsity, and Senator Allison is doing it in excellent style.—lnter Ocean.
