which permits a few men te own a read

Waterloo, Iowa, Sept 25. James
Hutted, a prominent Republican lawyer of
thlaeity, and William Whitney, a premt
nent Republican of Bennington township,
have declared for Cleveland. It la said the
attitude et the Republican party toward
Prohibition Is making Democratic votes,
and that at least twenty Republican bust
nan and professional men of this elty will
work In opposition te statutory prohibition
and the Republican party this rail.
Dr. William H. Watsen, of Ullca, the
family pbyalelan and life-long friend of the
late Koseoe Oenkllng, who has always been
a Republican, has announeed that he will
east bla vote In November for'Orever
Cleveland. He publishes a letter received
by him from Gee. O. Gerham, which shows
that Harrison's election mesne Blaine for
secretary et state.
"Indiana will give Cleveland net leaa
than 10 000 ever Harrison, and probably
mere." is the opinion or Mr. T. M. Gruelle,
the editor cf the Indianapolis Laber Signal,
therecegnlzd mouthpiece of the organized
labor of Indiana.
"1 'am a Republican, though net a poli
tician," said Mr. Enech P. Hlneks, of the
large carriage building firm et Hlncks Ik
Jobnsen, of Bridgeport, Conn. "I have
never voted any ether ticket But I cannot
go witn my party en Its present platform.
The greatest minds and shrewdest men In
the party Grant, Arthur, Oenkllng and
Garfield advocated tariff revision. Four
years age the pirty sought Mr. Blaine's
eleotlen chiefly en tariff reform. But what
was then a virtue has new become a crime.
Why T Certainly, the situation haa net
changed."
Ex-Congressman "Calamity" Welter has
figured conspicuously in a fen tit local
episode near Plalnfield, Bremer county, la.
Mr. Welter held a note against a fsrmer
nsmed Scott, who was selling out at
anotten, and assisted by cflleers was gar
nisbeelng the property. Scott's pretty
young wife was Incensed, and oewhlded
tbe ex congressman vigorously, letting
aeveral blows Mil en his bald head. Mr.
Weller is a candidate for Congress, but the
eplsnde will blast any chance he may have
had for re-election.

Republican of this city, who voted for
Blaine In 1884, but who will tote for Clove Cleve

Democratic Campaign club the ether even

Republican, who bad reformed, and Mr.
D. C. Beune, et Jameaburg, a lifelong
Republican, will be at tbe bead of the com
mittee of arrangements at the mass meeting
and banner-raising.
Tbe Republicans of Half Aere, one of the
strongholds of tbat party In Middlesex
county, N. J., were treated te something
of a surprise tbe ethor evening when they
met te organize a campaign club. A dis
patch te the New Yerk limes aiys the pro
ceedings had begun and were progresiing
with enthusiasm wben some one called for
a Bpeoeb from Mr. Jehn M. Lucia. Mr.
Lucas is one of tbe principal men of tbe
township, and bas always been a popular
Republuiap. "Hpoteh" cried the followers,
and finally be waa obliged te respond.
Imagine, then, tbe aurprine of his Re
publican friends wben he stepped forward
and said that he bid doellnea te make a
speech because be could net rnake one tbat
would suit them. "Tbe truth is," he said,
"the tarltl question has made me a follower
of Cleveland for this campaign." As he
left the bsll the Kepubltcans greanexi, bat
tbe applause given by several present
showed that he was net alone In his views.
Mr. Jehn Robertien, of tbe firm et Jehn
Robertsen ft Cc, manufacturing maehlnlsta
at Ne. 129 Water street, Brooklyn, a few
days sge received a circular from Mr. Piatt
wbleh requested blm te "forward imme
diately a list of all voters, without regard
te pellticf, employed by you," te "facili
tate the huilnets of tbe campaign." What
use Mr. Piatt wanted te make of tbe nagaes
Mr, Robertsen said be did net knew. Se
fsras he wss concerned, Mr. Robertsen
said, be would net attempt te Influence tbe
vote of his empleyes. He bad been a life
long Republican, and voted for Blaine for
president four years bbe, but he expeeted
this year te vote for Cleveland and Thur
man. Here Is an editorial from this (Tuesday)
morning's Philadelphia Ledger: "General
Harrison Is a rfelf sacrificing candidate, te
say tbe leatt He is still receiving visitors
by tbe hundred, nesrly all of whom are
members et organized clubs who would

Monday morning complaint was made
before Alderman Deen against Mary Sles
aer, wife of Adam Slesser, the woman who
recently eloped from Dsuphln county with
Franklin Brlcker, the forger, charging ber
with adultery. Officer Wittlck went
te Philadelphia and arrested Mrr.
Slesser at tba home of Bernard
Seblltzer, ai Ne. G150 Lancaster avenue.
She and Brlcker bad been bearding
there since they skipped from Dauphin
county.,, They were known aa Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Baker, an4 everybody aup aup
peied tbey were man and wife. Brlcker
did net de any work while In Philadel
phia, and occasionally he and Mrs. Bletser
went en short trips. He left the beginning
of last week,premlslng te write, but as he did
net the woman supposed something was oer eer
talnly wrong. The bearding house-keeper
told Wittlck the pair owed her 1 27 for beard,
re he kept tbe clothing of each. The officer
brought Mrs. Slesser te this cliy and she
was committed In default et ball for a hear
ing. The woman Is but 21 years of age and
she is greatly worrled ever her trouble,
Bbe declares that ehe will dle If kept In
prison. She says tbat Btleker Is the cause
of everything. He came te beard with
thorn and at first she disliked him. He
wen her affections by giving her
candy ( probably what superstitious
poeplo call " love " candy) and she
then lest all control of herself and ran
away, consenting te everything that he
wished. The woman cried bitterly In Al Al
derman Deen's oifiee, and declared that she
did net knew Brlcker was forging paper.
She taya she would like te go home new,
as she bas had enough of this kind of life,
and if she could get out of her trouble she
would gladly return te her husband and
child. Ne time has been set for the hear
ing. Sugar May no Farther Advanced.
The sngar trust Is meditating another ad
vance In prices, and it is probable that
another quarter of a cent will be tacked te
the present price within a week or ten days.
Granulated is new sold by the refineries at
yt cents, and It bas ruled at about that fig
ure for several weeks. Tbe trust finds a
warrant ier advancing prices In the present
scarcity of raw sugar.
It is said that the West Indies have been
Bwept ctean of raw sugar and that what
little 1b received new comes from Brizll,
where tbere are a tow cargoes tbat have net
been marketed. Ne ether source et supply
will be found until the Loulslanacrepoouiea
In, which will net be until the middle of
November or tbe tlrst ri December.
Tbe stock en hand in refiners' bands is
small, and It la declsred tbat tbe present
atoeks would net last the refiners thirty
days if tbey were worked te ttelr full capa
city, but the demand bas fallen oil lately.
Fer tbe next two months it is probable
this demand will be supplied at an in
creased prlce,maklng the cett of granulated
8 centa te the dealer, who will probably
charge the consumer K cent or leent mere.
Tbe reason given by tbe trust ter thus
marking up tbe price is that tbe raw sugar
costs mere than u did,

We find :
1. That the aocutstlen against Rev. F, P.
