Harper’s Weekly, (dem.,) tells its readers that the Presidential struggle this year “is really for the maintain; ance of the Nation’s integrity and honor against repudiation, communism and anarchy.” O. A Confession of Defeat; Senator Butler, of North Carolin", chairman of the Populist national committee, in a,.-let_ter to the New York Journal of yesterdy, makes the follow- ing claim by States of the election of Bryan: ' Information received at the head- quarters of the People’s patty so far indicate that the following States are almost absolutely safe, with the pros- pects brightening each day: Alabama ............. 11|N011h Dakota. . . 2 Arkansas ............ 88 Iuth Dakota... . 4 Florida....m. ........ 5Uta - -- 3 Georgia.- .13 Washington ......... 4’ Louisiana... . .. 8 Wyoming ............ 3 Mississippi .......... 9 Kentucky ............ 13 Miss suo ............. 17 Kansas ............... 10 South Carolina ...... 9 Nebraska ........... a 8 Tennessee .......... . 12 Indiana”... ......... 15 Texas ----------- ' ----- 1 5 North Carolina. .11 Virginia .............. 12 Oregon .............. 4 Colorado..." . .. ...., 4 California ........... 9 Idaho ................ 3 ary land ........... 8 Montana.... . . .. 53 West Virginia ....... __6 Nevada ............... 6 Total .............. 23-2 As this is an oflicial statement from the headquarters of the Bryan forces, from which would naturally come the most encouraging presentation of the case that could be plausibly presented, it must be accepted by all intelligent and dispassionate-leadeis as a confes- sinn of defeat in the contest. The total electorisl Vote he claims as “almost absolutely Site” for Bryan amounts to 232 or only 8 more “1931 the number necessary to elect. » In this list are-Kentucky with thir- teen vote=, Kansas with 10, ,Nebraska with 8, Indiana with 15, Maryland with 8 and West Virginia with 6. all of which are more than “almost absolutely safe for McKinley, and they aggregate 60 clectorial votes. These taken from Chairman Butler’s table reduce Bryan to 172, which would leave Bryan short of an election by 52 votes and give Mc- Kinley 104 majority in the Electorial College. In addition to the States in Chairman Butler’s list which are reasonably cer- tain to vote for McKinley, the States of Missouri, Virginia, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Oregon and California are fairly doubt- ful, With chances, we believe to-day, decidrd'y in favor of McKinley. ‘ILe important lesson of this statement of Chairman Butler’s is that be publicly confesses the defeat of his party, and surrer ders the national contest of 1896. ’ A Significant Protest. In yesterday’s Gaznrrn appeared one of the most significant clerical utter- ances which has yet eminated from any such source, since the free coinage of silver craze set in. It was Archbishop Ireland’s vigorous protest against the whole Bryan business. V The Archbishop’s declaration against the Chicago platform and candidate will attract attention and carry weight all ov«:r the country, and especially throughout the Northwest, where he is best knowrgand esteemed as one of the ablest, bravest and truest American leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. From. scarcely any other man in his po- sition, would a political appeal be re- ceived with the same kind of respect, fir in 1118 championship of the free school a}, sfiem, he has become recog- nzed as a representative of the Ameri- can idea of religious liberty, and his appeal is made not to ecclesiastical obedience, but to the conscience of the people he addresses. ~ In ordinary party battles, the clergy do well to hold aloof; but in a time like this, when the fundamental principles of national integrity are attacked, they are entirely within their province, in raising their voices for'truth and right- eousness. ' 0 Has Arrived. Rev. Father Furlong'the new rector of St. Mary’s church arrived here last night and is now domiciled at the rec- tsry on West av :nue. vi THE nvENnNG GAZETTE . FIVE Elves-"continued. in towing the wrecked boat into the harbor. We left her near the wharf. “I am not sure,” said the Commo- dore, modestly, “but I believe the men would have been lost if we had not gone out to them, le' they were mak- ing direct for the Milton Point rocks. If they had drifted a mile further out, I would not have ventured after them. While we were out there two men from “Belle Haven tried to reach us in a 10 w \ boat. Both were excellent sailors, aid handled the skiff well, but they could not reachus, and hat to put back I presume the wind was blowing fifty miles an hour. “What we did was really nothing worthy of note, however. In fact, I rather enjoy a brush in that sort of weather. We, of course. got very wet. from the flyin: spray, but the brave little launch never shipped a sea.” ' The "beat rescued .by Commodore . Benedict was the Addie 0., owned by William B. Owens. Mr. Owens was in charge of the foolhardy exc-arsioa which nearly ended fatally. On bowl with him were Cornelius and Pillilu Martin, Edward Lang and Tony ta- litto. >00. cosine NATURE‘S one TIMES. A'r Crawfordsville, Ind., in the sum— mer of 1890 there was a shower of fish and angleworms. The fish were with- out eyes and all about two inches long. THAT lightning does sometimes strike twice in the same place“ is proven in the case of a. windmill in Bates county, Mo., which was recently struck by a. bolt in exactly the spot where it was similarly . struck three years before. A LAKE containing fresh water on top and salt water on the bottom has been discovered on Kildin island, Lap- land. The lake rises and falls with the tide, and,the salt water evidently comes from the sea. by an underground channel. A HEAVY shower of diminutive toads little larger than potato bugs fell at Farmington, Me., a. few days ago, dur- ing What the people there call a. “cloud- burst.” Thousands of the creatures fell in the town and the neighboring fields. GEORGE W. GOFF, of Punta Gorda, Fla. ., is becoming a new man. His age is ninety, and up to a year ago he w as partially deaf, wholly blind and almost bald. Some months ago he recovered his eyesight, his hearing became per- fect, and now his crop of. hair is black and luxuriant. The little daughter of Mr. >_———Fred VVebber Holland, Mass, had a. very bad cold and- cough which he had not been able to cure with anything. I gave him a 25 cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P. Holden, merchant and postmaster at V1 est Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he said it worked like a; Charm. This remedy is intended especmlfy for acute throat and lung diseases such as colds, croup and whooping cough, and it is famous for its cures. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by. E. P. Weed, druggist. CITY Assessors’ Notice.
