VOL. LXI1X. EX-SPEAKER CRISP'SDEATH DEEP L.Y FELT. The Present Advance of Wheat Due to Manipulation by Specalators, and not Due to the Gold Standard, WasHiINGTON, Oct. 26.—No such ab surd claims are being made in Mr. | Bryan's behalf as the Republicans are putting out for McKinley, but every man connected with either the Demo- cratic, Populist or Silver committees at the Bryan headquarters expresses the utmost confidence in the election of Mr. Bryan. They claim that there are several states in the latest Apsley bluff, that are certain to elect Bryan electors by majorities of not less than 50,000, and a half a dozen more that will be carried by They also dispute both Apsley’'s and Babceock’s claims as to the number of gold men who will be elected to the next House, and say that the silver men will con- trol the House. An estimate made by Secretary Edgerton, of the National Committee, which is regard- | ed as being conservative, Mr. Bryan 233 certain electoral votes. This Bryan, Populist gives estimate puts down as doubtful, but probably for Bryan the [Hlinois, 85 electoral votes from Delaware, lowa, Maryland, Michigan and Ohio, and gives McKinley Few men in public life had as many and as warm personal friends as the late Ex-Speaker Crisp had, and men had as 1 none could be cleaner; lutely spotless. shock to his Washington friends an admirers although it ly known that his health was not in good condition, 20 electoral votes, fewer | 5 4 clean public record his was abso- | His death was a great | and was general lova- | will It is as a man and a friends Democratic ts ble companion that his the lost in him one of miss him, but party | i ablest leaders.

Ten | elubs in Towa report a total member- ship of 3,080, including 2,100 Demo- | crats, Republicans, 406 Populists, | 41 Prohibitionists and 61 Independents; | and six clubs in Ohio report a total | membership of #44 including 717 Dem- | ocrats, 140 Republicans, 74 Populists, | 10 Prohibitionists and 3 Independents, | If the ratio of Republicans is the same | in the hundreds of Bryan Clubs those two states, Towa and Ohio wil cast their electoral votes for Bryan. The appearance of Secretary lisle on the stump, nominally for Pal- mer and Buckner, but actually for Me- Kinley, has recalled the fact that Sec-| retary Carlisle used all the he possessed to get Democratic mem- | bers of the Nebraska legislature to vote for Senator Allen, who the Populist candidate for the Senate and who was elected by Democratic votes, A copy of a telegram signed by Secre- tary Carlisle and Senators Gorman and Brice and addressed to a Demo- cratic member of the Nebraska legisla- ture is being circulated by the Demo- cratic Congressional Committee. It reads: “We hope you will vote for Judge Allen and thus keep the Sena- torship out of the hands of the Repub- licans.”! Thus it appears that Secreta- ry Carlisle and Senator Brice were not afraid to help elect a silver man to the Senate in February 1803, although they now profess great fears of what will follow the election of a silver man to the Senate in February 1807, al- though they now profess great fears of what will follow the election of a sil- ver man to the Presidency. Mr. J. A. Welch, of Kansas, now in Washington, says: “The wheat grow- ers understand very well that the pres. ent advance ig due to manipulation by speculators, and they are not going to be deluded into the idea that the gold standard is to be given any eredit for the increased value of their product. The farmers have made up their minds that the double standard is necessary to the preservation of stable prices and they are going to vote that way. This is no new idea with them--no craze of the present campaigm The agricul tural class in Kansas will give Bryan almost solid support, and he will car- ' ry the state by at least 20,000 majority.

Many times peo- | ple would like to recall a letter after it | has been mailed. This can be done | even if the letter has reached the post- | office at its destination. At every post- | office there are what are called “‘with- | drawal blanks.” On application they | will be furnished; and, when a depos- | it is made to cover the expense, the | postmaster will telegraph to the post- | master at the letter’s destination ask- { ing that it be promptly returned. The | applicant first signs this agreenjent: | “It is hereby agreed that, if the letter is returned to me I will protect you from any and all claims made against you for such return, and will fully in- demnify you for any loss you may sus- tain by reason of such action, And I herewith deposit § ——to cover all ex- penses incurred and will deliver to you the envelope of the letter return- el.” In many cases persons have made remittances to fraudulent par- ties or irresponsible firms, not learn- ing their true character until after the letter had gone, and have succeeded in recalling them. There is an instance where a Kansas City merchant had re- mitted a dishonest traveling man a draft for $175, and by means of a with- drawal rescued the draft just in time. After Wild Turkeys.
