Maine, Vermont and Oregon’s pluralities were large enough to take these States out of the “doubtful” column. The vein of apology in which Bryan is supported by Olney Hid, Cochran and Sckurz is a curiosity f of the campaign, Four years of a Republican administration have made hives of industry out of more than 350.000 haunts of idleness aud soup-houses. The funeralof Mrs. Stacey English was held Sunday forenoon, at the residence in Hanging Grove by Rev. D. L. Clnvington, pastor of Barkley M. E. circuit. It was very largely attended. Interment was made in Weston cemetery at this place. Already the census man has found over 528,000 manufacturing establishments, as against 822,638 in 1890. This looks as though the trusts were not crushing out individual enterprise at such a great rate. The most remarkable significance in Mr. Bryan’s letter of acceptance to the Democrats, is his silence upon everything and every subject in which American workingmen as a class have'an interest.

The place that the different tickets will occupy <">n the'state ballots this year lias not yet been decided, except the Democratic and Republican, which are fixed by law, requiring that the Democratic ticket shall be in the first column on the left hand side, and the Republican in the second column. The parties that have sprung up since the law was passed depend on the election board for their position on the ballots. One may be a little surprised at the confidence displayed by intelligent men everywhere regarding the probable success of the Republicans this fall. It is to'be regretted that this confidence tends to apathy, but intelligent people cannot conceive how business men, farmers, mechanics, and in fact all citizens who are enjoying such a full measure of prosperity can vote to overturn that prosperity. And while this is inconceivable, it cannot be impressed too often upon the minds of those very persons who are enjoying the prosperity which is the fruit of Republican rule, that they must see to it in the November elections that their votes are cast and counted in order to continue the blessings which are now being enjoyed.
