Electionséother News.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 7.—-Mr. Bryan arrived
in Louisville early today on a special train
from Nashville. N 0 stops were made in
~ the night run, and the candidate managed -
to secure a good re'st._ 'He breakfasted at
the Louisville hotel and was met by Gov-
ernor MattheWs and the Indiana reception
« committee." At the bridge station at Four-
teenth and Main streets a small crowd had
gathered, b t Mr. Bryan did-{not sho’wr
himself. ational Committeeman Wood-
son of Kentucky accompanied Mr. Bryan
on the night trip through Kentucky and
was with him when he crossed into In-
diana at 7:30 o’clock, arriving in Jeffer-
sbnville in, time to fill his first speaking
appointment.
There Mr. Bryan said in part:
“We are in this campaign attempting to
revive the principles of Jefferson and ap-
ply them to the solutions of the questions
of today. We claim our title to the name
Democracy not only by the fact that a large
majority of the Democratic party has in-
dorsed the principles which We advocate,
but for the additional reason that those
principles are in harmony with the teach-
ing of the father of the Democratic party, ’
and another reason why we feel that we
are lineal descendants of his in apolitical
way is that the names which they apply to
us are very similar to the names applied
to Jefferson and his fol-lowers. They call-
ed Jefferson an anarchist and demagogue
and a disturber of the peace and a maniac.
They call us anarchists and socialists and
disturbers of the peace and‘lunatics. You
see the word lunatic is very similar to the
word maniac. If there is any difierence, I
suppose it would be that a maniac was a
little more violent than a lunatic. They
called the supporters of Jefferson a mob,
and the followers of Hamilton denied that
the followers of Jefferson were capable of
self government. The people who Opposed
Jeffersbn, doubted honestly, I have no
doubt, whether the people at large would
ever be capable of exercising the right of
self government. Jefierson had confidence
in the people, and they had confidence in
him.”
A Diversion. - '
Here the attention of.the crowd was at-
tracted .to a balloon which was sent up-
from the rear of the audience, and Mr.
Bryan, noticing it, said: “It rises abbut as'
rapidly as the gold dollar has been rising,
o'nly it does not go so far. When Jefle'rsdn
opposed the banks of issue, when be com-
plained against putting the issuance of the
volume of paper money in the hands of
private individuals who could then expand
it or contract it at will, he incurred the
opposition of the banking element of his ,
day just as We have incurred the opposi-‘I
tion of the banking element of our_day
when we oppose the issue of paper money
by national banks. The notional banks
want to retire the greenbaoks and treasury
notes, whichnow cost the people nothing,
and substitute in the place of those notes
bonds upon which the people will pay in-
terest and the bankers will draw the inter-
est. I am not surprisad they opposed Jef-
ferson, because those enjoying special privi-
leges always oppose the people who attempt
to take those special privileges away from
them. [Great applause.) ‘ We are in a
canvass this year which has for its main
object the restoration‘ of the gold and sil‘
ver moneyof the constitution. Our oppo-
nents are advocating ‘honest money,’ but
if they will turn back to the Democratic
platform of 1884 they will find What the
party then declared to be honest money.”
Major McKinley Addresses a Delegation.
CANTON, 0., Oct. 7,—The regular west
bound train brought two extra coaches
filled with shouting McKinley men from
East Brady, Clarion county, Pa. They
were headed by a band and banner an-
nouncing the party as “The Plutocrats
of Clarion County.” The delegation was
introduced by N. E. Graham, and was ad-
dressed by Mnjor McKinley from his front
porch.
Major McKinley spoke in part as fol-
lows: ‘
“I am very regretful that the day is so
inclement upon which you make your call.
I am glad to meet each one of you at my
home. I have received a great many del-
egations, as your spokesman has said, in
the past two months, many of them larger-
than yours; but from the shouts I have
heard from you today, I am sure none of
them had better lungs than yours. and
none of them were more earnest in their
support of Republican principles than the
little body of men gathered about me to-
day. There is one thing which I think
we are sometimes too apt to forget—we
are too apt to forget what is behind us,
and too apt to be headless of our own ex-
perience. We can hardly realize that from
'1873 to 1893 We reduced the public debt
from $2,333,331,308, in 1866 to $570,000,-
000. We paid oil during those 20 years
$1,‘623,581,673 of the public debt, and we
Were under a protective and sound money
system when we were making the large
payments.”
The Connecticut Elections.
HARTFORD, Oct. 7.—There is great sat-
isfaction at the headquarters of the Repub-
lican state central committee in this city
today as a result of the town elections held
throughout Connecticut yesterday. Chair-
man,0. R. Fyler announced that the com-
mittee Was more than pleased. Thus far
the committee has heard from 125 towns.
From these towns a large Republican
gain is shown, and 12 towns are gained
Outright. The committee did not look
for so large a gain over. two years ago. It
was supposed that high water mark was
reached then. .
Samuel S. Eddy, secretary of the com-
mittee, said: “We did not expect so great
a victory. We naturally look upon it as
something of a straw. Two years ago we
reached what we thought to be our zenith
when we carried the state by 17,000. If
we base our predictions upon yesterday's
results, We should expect a much greater
majority on Nov. 3. Of course in many
of the towns local issues complicated the
election greatly, but making an allowance
for all such complications and taking into
consideration everything, I am willing
that you should announce that the com-
mittee expects Connecticut to roll up a.
majority of not less than 25, 000.”
In a few of the towns the. issue was
gold and silver, and in every case the gold
then won.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7."‘——Stat’e Democratic
Chairman Elliot F. Danfcrth returned to

9‘.
..
the city today. During his absence he,
visited Senator Hill. When asked fora
statement, he said:
“I have talked with .Senator Hill, and I
am hopeful that he will support both the
national and state tickets—in fact, I be-
lieve he will. But later in the week I
may have something to say to the public
about the attitude of the senator. I‘do not
believe that he will issue any formal or
signed statement,.but I may be able to say
something that will make his position
clear.
“You see, Senator Hill at Chicago made.
a hard fight against the issue that is now
the policy of the party. He is the only one
of the great party leaders who has remain-
ed passive and silent since the convention,
so I believe that he will support the tick-
et.”
. The Alabama Situation.-
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 7. -—R. F. Kolb

mend that they be deposed from the state
executive committee.

A QUEER RECONCILIATION. r
rallies and Comedy hIingled by Strange
Couples at Pittsburg. ‘
Herman Krieger and Mrs. Frank
Whittaker eloped from New York,
each leaving a married partner be-
hind. Mrs. IVhittaker took her little
daughter with her. The-couple were
03113111: at Pittsburg, and a local pa-
per gives this humorous version of the
final episode: .
Mr. Whittaker arrived with Mrs.
’Krieger. They went to the Central
Police Station, where a pathetic and
ludicrous reconciliation took place.
Whittaker first kised his child, and
then kissed the mother. The latter
did not like it at first, and “made a
face.” He said he would forgive her,
but She did not care if he didn’t.
The child kised and hugged her fal
ther, and wanted him to take her
home with her mamma. The latter
did not want to go back to New York.
and said she had enough of Whitta-
ker. Then the child" went from one
to another with her caresses and told
her “mamr‘na” to kiss “papa.” Be-
fore they knew it both parents had
tears in their eyes. Then Whittaker
again pleaded with his wife,,and she
threw her arms around his neck. As
she passed out of the door of the po-
lice station she was wiping the tears
from her eyes and asked: “Is my hat
on straight, Ida?” ‘
The amicable adjustment of the dif-
ferences between Whittakerland wife
left no charges against Krieger. His
better half, however, announced that
she was tired of being ill treated by
her husband, and declared that she
would return to New York as s'oon as
she could prepare evidence for a di-
vorcc.
THE EvENING GAZETTE.
Kricgcr thought his personal ap«
pearance had something to do with
his wife’s condition of mind. He said:
“I may not look nice now, but when
I get shaved and put on a clean shirt
I will 100k different.”
The woman said she did not care
if he ever put on a clean shirt. The
police officers at length persuaded
her to leave with her erring husband.
She declared that she would never
live with him again.
After Herman had taken her
through the park and showered atten-
tions on her, her heart softened. By
dinner time Whittaker, Krieger and
the two women and the little girl
were as merry as any crowd of sight
seers in Pittsbur".
Too Promising to be True. :
It is claimed that a French engineer
has discovered a process for solidify
ing petroleum to be used as fuel. It
is pressed into cakes, and may be
stored away like cordwood. It is not
affected by heat or cold, and burns ab-
solutely “-jwithout "odor or smoke. These
cakes can be preSSed into any shape
or size, and when set on fire burn very
slowly, but with the most intense
heat. There is no evaporation or ex-
plosive quality about them, and they
will burn with very little draft. So
conc’entrated is the heat in them that
it is said that a vessel carrying a
thousand tons of this fuel could sail
around the world without renewing
its stores. The inventor of this ma-
terial declares that a ton of it equals
thirty tons of coal, and as the esti-
mated cost is not over ten dollars a
ton, it follows that steel may be man-
ufactured at a much less expense
tnan at present. Indeed, five hundred
pounds of this fuel zit a cost of two
dollars Would melt a ton of metal. If
the claims for this new fuel are sub-
stantiated, a revolution in manufac-
tures is begun, and all persons who
have occasion to consum a great
amount of fuel will find t eir expen-
ditures greatly decreased. As a
household heating material it would
be unapproachable, while in the man-
ufactures and arts its value can as
yet scarcely be computed.
. Well Directed Sympathy,
'The German sexton of a suburbar
church, listening a moment to an
amateur piano performance in behalf
of some guild, was heard to remark:
“Dot makes me' sorry for" dot biano.’
“Why not for the people?” a by
stander asked.
“Der peeples can git avay,” was the
answer. “Der biano musht shday.”—
Boston Courier.
A HORSE THAT srops RUNAWAYS.
non Connected With the Police Depart-
ment of Jersey City. , ‘
Bob, named from his clipped tail, so
his rider, Policeman Albert Milburn,
says, stopped a runaway horse and
saved a man’s life in Jersey City.
“Officially I did it, for I 'am on the
fares and Bob isn’t,” said the police-
man, “but as a. matter of fact the
horse did it all and carried me along
with him.” ‘
The policeman was standing at West
Side avenue and Broadway when he
saw. a horse, frightened by the cars,
start to run away, just beyond the
Pennsylvania. ‘Railr'oa‘d. crossing. It
dashed over the tracks and headed to-
ward him. 'In an instant Milburn was
in his saddle,.but he did not have to
guide his horse. ‘
“I very rarely use the bridle,” he
says. _ 5
Bob, without guidance, started onra
swift canter to meet the‘runaway, and
Milburn let him ‘go his OWn way. The,
intelligence of one horse was thus pit-
ted against thewfrenzy of the other.
The runaway was attached to a light
wagon, in which sat a man who, hav-
ing lost one of the reins, was unable
to control'him'. '
I
“BOB" STOPPING A RUNAWAY.
Seeing the other home apprOach,
the runaway swerved around in an ef-
fort to escape and dashed back to-
ward the railroad crossing. At that
Bob, still without guidance, changed
his center to a sWift gallop and chased
the other horse. He rapidly overhauled
the runaway, but the spectators felt
a chill of fear, for a train was ap-
proaching. '
The other horse had almost reached
the tracks when Bob came abreast.
The policeman Was about to seize the
bridle when Bob rushed sidewise
against the runaway and pressed him
toward the side of the street. The run-
a'way staggered and came to almost a
complete halt. A man who had been
standing on the curb grasped the bri-
dle and held it fast, just as the train
whizzed past.
Bob is a Kentucky horse, six years
old, and is a handsome bay. He has
been connected with the force only
four months.

No Chance fer ‘the Presidency.
“Mamma,” said a little Fifth ward
boy, lugubriously, the other day as
he laid down a volume of biographical
sketches of the Presidents, “I don’t -
believe I’ll ever be a president. i
ain’t got the chance, I wasn’t br-ung
up right.”
“Why, child, you have the same
chance that other little boys have.”
“No, I ain’t, I wasn’t born in a. log
cabin, nor I ain’t drove a. team on the
canal, nor had to read the spellin’
book by the light of a pine knot, nor
had to split rails nor nothin’ like the
rest of the boys who got there. I tel‘
you, mother, I’m handicapped on this
Presidential business.”
From the stress laid on the hard
ships encountered by some of the
presidents when boys it is not strange
that the juvenile mind should draw
a deduction—Elmira Gazette.
A New fairly}? Iii—orig.
A young woman of Lyons, who has
probably read “Boccaccio,” but not
Rogers’s “Ginevra,” shut up one lover
in a. trunk when another knocked at her
door. She then went out and forgot
all about the matter till the next day,
When she found the man in the trunk
dead and the police unwilling to accept
her explanation.
