XO MORE INDIANS FOK EXHIBITIONS
Mr. "Wanamaker will enforce the new
lottery law with all of the stringency pos
sible. Explicit instructions haTe been
issued to the various employes of the de
partment. Washington, October 3. Assistant At
torney General Tyner, under direction of
Postmaster General Wanamaker, has pre
pared for publication a "Postal Bulletin,"
a circular letter to postmasters containing
instructions tor their guidance in the treat
ment of lottery matter under the recent
anti-lottery act After quoting the law in
full, the circular reads as follows:
First Section 3,S9i, above quoted, applies to
any letter, ordinary or registered, if it concerns
any lottery, gift concern, or scheme described
in the section relating to lottery tickets, checks,
drafts, bills. noney postal notes, or money

iharc or chance m a lottery or gift enterprise,
and to the list of the drawings at any lottery or
similar scheme, and forbids the carrying of
them in the mails, or the delivery of them.
MUST NOT BREAK SEALS.
Secord The seal of a letter or of any sealed
packet, prepaid at letter rates, must not be dis-'
turbed tor the purpose of ascertaining if its
transmission in the mail or its delivery at a
postoihee Is forbidden by the provisions of this
act. Nor will the mere suspicion that such let
ter or packet relates to a lottery or the fact
that it is addressed to any person known to be
encased In the business of conducting a lot
tery justify its detention or non-delivery exeept
that the delivery of registered letters at the
office of destination shall be withheld, whnn
the Tostmaster General has issued specific
oidcrs under the provisions of section 392) to
that effect.
Third Postal cards and circulars unsealed

pected of having been deposited or mailed in
violation of the provisions of this act, be ex
amined for the purpose of ascertaining their

positing them for mailing that postal cards or
circulars are unmailable under the provisions
of section 3&01,aboe quoted, the postmaster

and marked or stamped "fraudulent" and sent
to the Postmaster General, accompanied by a
sneei.ll report iroiu tne postmaster, explaining
Ibe reason tor their detention.
uou Tbe provisions of tnis act apply to
letturs, postal cards and circulars concerning
lotteries or similar schemes that come in the

GOVERNOR THOMAS TALKSi OF THE
POWER OF MORMONISM.
He Thinks Cougreis sfaonld Pass More
Strlncent Lm Than Tboe Now on tin
Book. Tbe Present Statutes Are
Skillfully Evaded.
"Washington. October 3. The,Mormon
question is discussed at some length by
Arthur L. Thomas, the Governorof Utah, in
his annual report to Secretary Nobze. He
asserts that the Mormon people are governed
by the priests, and that in every political
and business act the church is put first, the
country afterward. The population ot the
Territory is estimated to be 220,932, an in
crease of 55 per cent during tbe past ten
years. The n amber of Mormons are re
cruited by immigration from Great Britain
and Scandinavian countries. The report
says that the average number of foreign
born brought to the Territory by the Mor
mons have been during the past nine years
about 1,800 annually, and that this average
has probably been maintained during the
past year.
The Governor says that political and
official Mormonism deals in evasions and
meaningless words, or words of double
meaning, hypocritical pretenses and false
assertions, "its attitude toward polygamy
is delusive in the last degree. It knows
that there has been no change on the sub
ject, but it seeks to convey the impression
that there has been. Tbe prominent church
officials, the Governor states, have declared
that the church does now grant permits to
enter polygamy, and the nominal head of
the church has' announced that polygamous
marriages do not now take place. The
Governor adds, however, that when the at
tention of the head of tbe church was called
to a notorious case uncovered in the First
District Court, he disclaimed any knowl
edge of it. Admitting that these
statements, however, are literally true, the
Governor says it doesn't prove that the
Church has met the public sentiment ot the
nation as expressed in its laws, nor does it
prove that the Church is loyal to the law.
There is no reason to believe, the Governor
asserts, that any earthly power cau exact
from the Church any declaration opposed to
polygamy. He accounts for the hold which
Mormonism has upon the people by the fact
that tbey are taught to keep aloof from in
fluences outside of the Church, that their
lives are directed by the Lord, and that the
priesthood is the only authorized medium to
reveal and declare tbe will of the Lord, and
obedience to the priesthood is practically
obedience to the Lord.
The Governor says that it is over 28 years
since Congress condemned polygamy in
Utah. Tbe laws ot Congress have been
ridiculed, and treated with contempt so long
as such a course was safe, and then evaded
and resisted as far as possible, and during
all this time no change has taken place in
the counsels or aims of Mormonism, and the
conflict to-day is as clearly defined as ever.
The Governor recommends the passage of
the bill reported in the Senate by Senator
Edmunds, which authorizes the Governor to
appoint certain county officers and provid
ing for a legislative re-apportionment. He
states that if this bill becomes a law it will
place the control of 25 counties in the hands
of men loyal to the Government. He also
Tecommends the passage of either the Cul
lom bill, or tbe Stfuble bill.

of instructions to Indian agents in which he
says that tbe department is informed that a
company is preparing to obtain Indians
from some of the reseivations to join "Wild
West Shows" in Europe. The agents are
instructed to promptly refuse any applica
tions for this purpose, as it is now against
the policy of the Interior Department to
grant permits for such purposes under any
circumstances whatever.
The agents are further instrncted to lay
the matter before their tespective tribes, and
advise them that if any of the Indians should
hereafter attempt to leave their reservation
for exhibition purposes, it will be regarded
as an open defiance of the authority of the
Government, and that prompt measures will
be adopted to detain them.

ALL ADVICE IGNORED,
WALKING DELEGATES INDICTED BY A
grand' JURY
Contrary to tbe Counsel ofDistrlct Attorney
and Recorder Surprising Resnlt ot tbe
Attempted Brick Boycott Conspiracy J
Charged.
!SFECUL TXLZGRAX TO TOT PXSrATCB.1
New York, October 3. The grand jury's
recent inquiry into the boycott instituted by
the Board of Walking Delegates against
fonr brick manufacturers of Verplanck's
Point because they did not employ union
men bore unexpected fruit to-day in the
General Sessions. In the inquiry the grand
jury heard much testimony, and being in
doubt as to the legal effect of it; consulted
Recorder Smyth and District Attorney Fel
lows. Both advised the grand jury that the
testimony did not justify the indictment of
anyone.
When the grand jury filed into the Gen
eral Sessions to-day. Foreman Haynes
handed up, among other indictments, an in
dictment for conspiracy against Walking
Delegates James Carroll, Tnomas McGuire,
James P. Archibald, William McUair,
William Taylor, Frank McGuire, Owen
Carroll, Charles P. Rogers, John Gray, Al
fred Ashlev, Nelson F. McFadden and
John Dolati. District Attorney Fellows
had heard that this was coming and was on
hand. He promptly moved 'the dismissal
of tbe indictments.
"Gentlemen of the grand jury, have you
completed your business?" asked the Re
corder, dryly.
"ITes, sir," said the foreman.
Then the Recorder gave them a talking
to. 'He said among other things: "I regret
that for the first time in my experience of
ten years, as the presiding justice of this
court and the official legal adviser of the
grand jury, the grand jury has seen fit to
overrule the opinion of the presiding Judge
of this court in reference to the indictment
which has just been presented. There was
no legal evidence before the grand jury
upon which to sustain a conviction. I com
municated, in substance, to the grand jury
to that effect. I also stated that the evi
dence that was presented to me was insuf
ficient and no bill ought to be drawn unless
the grand jury were in possession of some
evidence in addition to what was presented
to me. It was a mistake to find a bill right
in the teeth of the advice of the official ad
viser of the grand jury."
The indictment that died a-borning,
charges the indicted men with conspiracy to
coerce tbe four brick manufacturing firms at
Verplanck's Point into employing union
men and to prevent the handling of their
bricks, and with notifying Peck, Martin &
Co., one of the members ot which firm was a
grand juror, in a letter attached to the in
dictment, that they must not handle the
boycotted brick under penalty of a strike.

Dr. Bichard T. Ely, of Johns Hopkins
University, was interviewed by a DISPATCH
correspondent on the subject of Federal con
trol of railroads. He believes that under
government management the roads would
be far more useful to the public, and that a
source of political corruption would be re
moved. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Baltimore, October 3. The Dis
patch correspondent called on Prof.
Bichard T. Ely at the John Hopkins
University to-day in reference to his stand
concerning the Government ownership of
natural monopolies, and found bim in his
snug little study ofi the political library,
sorting and arranging his indexed collection
of newspaper clippings, which is said to be
the finest in the country on social and
economic questions.
"Undoubtedly," said the Professor, in
response to the reporter's question, as he re
placed file B carefully on the shelf in its
proper place, "this question of the Govern
ment owning and managing all natural
monopolies and artificial monopolies as
well which have been so instrumental in
corrupting our political parties and leading
astray into dangerous bypaths of bribery
and lobbyism our good government, to as
sume greater proportions daily. I think it
will soon emtirely eclipse both the race
problem and the labor movement in popular
interest. We may know that it is not the
idle, flighty talk of college boys and fossil
professors with too Utopian views when a
man as prominent and sagacious as T. B.
Blackstone, President of tJie Chicago and
Alton Riilroad Company, comes boldly out
in his annual report and, after reciting
the grievances of railroads against each
other, the people, the Government and
things in general, proposes as a remedy
Federal ownership and management, things
look very bright indeed to those who inter
est themselves in the affairs ot the people.
JOSIAH QUINCY'S IDEA.
"Yet Mr. Blackstone was not the first
railroad president to question the desirabil
ity of ownership of railroads by private cor
porations. This was done by the late
Josiah Quincy in his charming book, 'Fig
ures of the Past,' which I ttould strongly
advise you to read."
"But, doctor, concerning Federal owner
ship. Don't you think the question of poli
tics entering tbe management wonld mili
tate seriously against such an issue?
''Ah!" said the dapper little professor,
straightening up and adjusting his glasses,
"that's exactly wherein you newspaper men
err. You only look at one side of the ques
tion, and that the 'what might be' aspect.
Could the railroads possibly be more in
politics than they are? Your change of ex
pression tells me you never thought of that
The answer is unquestionably nol To main
tain pure politics in a country like this,
with railways private property, but tram
melled and controlled by courts and Legis
latures, wonld require a population of
angelic character 'or superhuman wisdom,
if not both.
The general public and railway manage
ment are two parties, and they struggle for
supremacy in Government sometimes openly
oftener secretly. The railways must seek
political power for private ends. They
must have their representatives in courts, in
Legislatures and in Congress to protect
themselves, but they do not stop at self
protection. They are aggressive and seek
complete control lor the promotion of their
private interests, and they corrupt Legisla
tures with free passes, offices for themselves
or friends, retaining fees, sometimes direct
gifts of money, and in every city hall and
Legislature they maintain a disreputable
lobby.
COERUPTION FOR SELF-PBOTECTION.
"A friend of mine, a gentleman of excel
lent character, was praising warmly one of
our great railway magnates when I inter
rupted him with the question, 'Would he
corrupt a city Council or State Legislature?'
My friend thought a moment and then said:
"Not if he could help it.' That's exactly
the question. They cannot help it. They
mnst do it in self-defence, or their rivals
will get ahead of them. To avoid the
necessity of such action, we must take away
the cause oy putting the railways in Uncle
Sam's hand's, and the effect will be averted.
"No railways are so completely in politics
as our private American roads. It was re
cently told by a railroad mau that railways
existed for a two-fold object, i. e., politics
and dividends. They are the power behind
the throne. If the railroad magnates are
not the real rulers of the country they soon
will be. Look at Depew, with a Presiden
tal bee in his recently purchased European
bonnet Does he want the nomination in
1892? Ask me it I want to lose my eye
sight! It is no wonder that onr railway
people look upon the Government with
fawning contempt. Have they not a repre
sentative in every department of the Na
tional Government judicial, executive and
administrative as well? Their power rami
fies in every diicction, reaching counting
rooms, courts, churches, schools, legisla
tures and editorial sanctums.
"But let us look at the other side of the
question of Federal ownership, Professor.
What improvements might the people ex
pect from the measure?"
"The improvements would be manifold.
But of that phase anon. To return to politics.
politics and bailroads.
"It has been said that the corruption in
our railway management is equal to the
rottenness of Sodom and Gomorrah. We
will not discuss that phase of tbe qnestion,
but It can be safely said that no department
of our Federal Government could long be
managed so dishonestly as our railroads.
Public management is necessarily open, it
comes before the people, the minutest de
tails are dragged before the bright light of
cold criticism and vastly magnified. Now
people are afraid to say what they know
about railroads, bnt under single control
there is always a powerful party, backed by
a powerful press, to whose interest it is to
search out every abuse and make them ap
pear greater than they are. Practice, which
now may be indulged in with impunity,
under the new regime, would land a man in
the penitentiary in mightv short order.
It's a pity that's not the case to-day.
"Last summer, while traveling on the
State railroads of Germany, I was much
impressed with the uniform politeness of
all officials, and on my return conld not
help feeling shocked at the brnsqueness of
ours. There is always opportunity for com
plaint when government officials are not at
tentive. "In American postoffices and German
railway stations there is a complaint book,
where grievances are registered, and you
may rest assured tbe newspapers are always
ready to take the matter up."
"But, professor, how would the Govern
ment get control of the lines?" asked The
Dispatch man. t
"The proper method of procedure has
been very well outlined by Mr. Blackstone,"
said tbe doctor taking up that gentleman's
report "Existing lines would be purchased
at a fair valuation to be fixed by arbitra
tion. The Government should build par
allel lines onlv in the case where a fair
price is refused. An
elevation in THE'CHAEACTEE

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4,

Public ownership would inevitably be the
death of the sp6ils system in politics, for it
could not live when its real significance was
so plain. We might reasonably expect
something like a military organization of
the railroads, at the head of which would be
a secretary of railways, who wonld also control
all other natural and artificial monopolies,
as the Government acquired control of
them.. It would be organized like any
other branch of the Federal Government,
and wonld be as free from political inter
ference as the Department of War, Navy,
Interior or Agriculture. The Pustoffice
Department is but a national monopoly un
der Government control. -
"Think, too." said the Doctor, asjiefelt
his wallet, "how cheaply people could
travel. In Hungary the roads are under
State control, and since the adoption of
cheap fares and a simple system of tickets
on sale like postage stamps, passenger
travel has increased more than 100 per cent
If the same svstem prevailed in the United
States, a ticket from Pittsburg to New York

TORY IGNORANCE.
A REPLY TO THE ATTACK ON THE IRISH
RELIEF FUND.
The Secretary of tbe Committee Shows
That Tliei o Is No Politics or Any De
scription In the Movement Words of
Sympathy and Encouragement Received.
rSrZLIAL TELEQRAU TO TOE DISPATCH.-.
New Yobe, October 3. Arthur Dudley
Vinton, Secretary ot the American Com
mittee for the Belief of Famine in Ireland,
gives out the following reply to the London
Timet' attack:
The editorial of tbe London Times ot October
2 exhibits an astounding Ignorance of tbe so
cial standing of the gentlemen connected with
tbemovemont for tbe relief of famine in Ireland-it
is simply ludicrous to call thorn politi
cians. The movement is only a great interna
tional charity. The American Committee for
the Relief of Famine in Ireland has nothing to
do with American politics, nothing to do with
English politics, nothing to do with Irish poli
tics and nothing to do with any kind of politics
whatsoever. The American committee
ha3 but one aim to send aid
to thousands of famine-shadowed Irish cabins,
so that human life may be saved and human
suffering prevented. Tbe more aid that the
English people send to the Irish people tbe
better. The disasters resulting from the fail
ure of the potato crop threatens to be so gen
eral in Ireland that in spite of all effort of re
lief there will be many empty stomachs and
many half-clad bodies among tbe worthy
peasantry before tbe winter is over.
The American committee cannot for an in
stant believe that England (or any other civil
ized nation) can for one moment object to a
movement which has as Its only aim tbe feed
ing of .the hungry and the clothing of tbe
naked. The American committee cannot enter
tain the thought that the generosity of any
people and especially of the American people
will for one Instant check the generosicy of
the English people.
American readers need no such explanation
of tbe personnel of tbe commission to assure
tbem of the non-political character of the
movement The assumption of tbe British
Government organ is a demonstration of big
otry and voluntary blindness which more than
anything else perhaps will make clear to the
American people the real attitude of the
British dominant party toward Ireland and her
woes. Some stlrrinc words of sympathy and
encouragement are being sent the American
Commission by the subscribers to the relief
fund. In a letter received to-day Adjutant
Castro, of Phil Kearney Post No. 8, writes:
"Inclosed please find 825, tbe donation of this
Post toward the relief of the suffering people
of 'the Green Isle.' Tbe magnitlredt record of
Ireland's sons during the long and bloody con
test on land and sea to uphold the Stars and
Stripes and perpetuate our free institution9,
fighting sbonlder to shoulder with tbe sons of
their adopted country, merits the recognition
of every member of our grand order in this
the hour of need of their oppressed and almost
starving compatriots."

fSrECTAI. TXI.XORAM TO TOT DISPATCH.!
New York, October 3. The last session
of tbe British Iron and Steel Institute in
Chickering Hall was held to-day. Before
the opening of the session some of the Eu
ropean visitors to the city went with elec-'
tncal expert Schuyler S.Wheeler to view the
Telephone Exchange, the Western Union
telegraph office, and tbe Brush and Edison
electrio light plants.
Sir James Kitson called tbe meeting at
Chickering Hall to order, and the work bi
gan with the reading of a paper by B. A.
Hadfield, of Sheffield, on "Aluminum
Steel." Mr. Hadfield gave to America the
credit of originating; and developing the
manufacture of this wonderful metal,
aluminum. He described in detail a num
ber of experiments in combining it with
iron. He showed how aluminum had de
clined in cost within about 30 years from 6
shillings an ounce to 6 shillings per pound,
not because it deteriorated in value, but be
cause methods had been invented which had
GREATLY CHEAPENED PRODUCTION,
and he predicted for it a highly interesting
history. Mr. Hadfield's statements were
discussed by J. E. Stead, of Middleboro,
England, and P. C. Gilchrist, ot London.
"Welding by Electricity" was the title of a
paper presented by Prof. Elihu Thompson,
of Boston. Illustrations of his subject were
presented upon a screeri. When Prof.
Thompson had finished, Hugh Matheson
and P. H. Gilchrist, of London, spoke upon
his address.
Dr. C. B. Dudley, chemist of the Penn
sylvania Bailroad spoke upon the "Wear
of Metal as Influenced by Its Chemical and
Physical Properties." His observations of
the rails nsed by tbe Pennsylvania Bailroad
led him to the conclusion that a mild steel
is less liable to fracture, and if properly
made, less liable to crushing or disintegra
tion than a harder steel. He was also con
vinced that the wearing power of steel does
not increase in ratio with its progress in
hardness, but on the contrary, diminishes.
The popular idea that the harder the steel
the greater the wear was a mistake.
Sir IiOwthian Bell, in disenssing tbe
paper, expressed surprise at the conclusions
arrived at by Dr. Dudley. As a member of
the Locomotive Committee ot the North
eastern Bailway ot Eogland be bad taken a
cautionary view, and the committee had
lately decided to increase the proportion of
carbon in tbe steel used for rails and give
them greater hardness.
the institute adjourns.
With the conclusion of the speaker's re
marks the time for adjournment arrived,
and Sir James Kitson presented a set of
resolutions thanking the American Insti
tute of Mining Engineers, the various local
committees and others for the courtesy ex
tended to the institute, which had made the
New York meeting "one of the fruits of the
presentage."
Immediately after the adjonrnment the
members separated, some to join an excur
sion to the Navy Yard, tbe De La Vergne
Kefrigerating Works and Washington bridge,
by steamer Laura M. Stone; others to tbe
Tilly Foster Iron Mine and Electrical Sep
arating Works, and still another party to tbe
Edison laboratory at Llewellyn Park. Mr.
Edison, who received the party and con
ducted them through his works personally,
served a lnnch in the laboratory. There
were also trips to the spiral weld tube works
at East Orange, the works of the Passaic"
Zinc Company, the Passaic Boiling Mill
Company at Paterson, and the tunnel under
the North Biver. The English and Ger
man visitors will leave for Philadelphia on
a special train on the Pennsylvania Bail
road at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. They
will visit Pittsburg, Chicago, and other
parts of this country and Canada.

OVER THE RAILROAD WALL.
ANOTHER BAD SMASHUP ON THE PAN
HANDLE BRIDGE.
Many People Escape Prom Under tbe Fnll
Ing Cars One Brakeman Will Likely
Die Other Mlsbnps and One Fatality
Reported In the City Yesterday.
A freight train on the Pittsburg, Virginia
and Charleston Bailroad ran into an open
switch at the intersection with tbe Panhan
dle on Carson street, Southside, yesterday
afternoon, at the point, which nas been the
scene of many such similar acci
dents during the last five Vears, all
of which have been remarkable, from the
fact that no great loss of life has resulted.
Yesterday's accidenfwas a repetition of its
predecessors. Two gondola cars, loaded
with steel billets, was precipitated over the
retaining wall, which towers 40 feet above
Carson street, and a boxcar containing mas
sive chunks of ice overturned. The con
tents broke through the top, and fell to tbe
street below with a crash, carrying with it
Samuel Jo ties, a brakeman, who was standing
on top of the car. A tew seconds previous
to the accident two street cars filled with
passengers passed by the spot where the
cars came over the wall.
Police Inspector McNelvey made a very
narrow escape from being crushed
to death beneath tbe falling mass
of steel and ice. He was driving home
in his buggy and just passed under the
bridge as tbe cars came crashing over the
bridge. His horse took fright and started to
run, which saved him. Two flat cars loaded
with steel billets were also overturned on
the bridge. Master of Transportation J. L.
Tucker stated the accident was caused by a
defective truck on one of the freight cars.
Tbe train's crew claim it was an opeu switch
which did the business. It is thought that
Brakeman Jobe will not recover from hi3 in
juries. G. M. Brown, assistant yardmaster at
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie iCailroad on
the Southside, was killed last night. Mr.
Brown was standing on the tracks in com
pany with a brakeman named F. F. Inks,
when both men were struck by a shifting
engine. Inks was thrown off the track,
receiving 'only a slight scalp wound.
Brown was run over by the engine and had
both legs cut off, arms crushed and injured
internally. He was taken immediately to
the West Penn Hospital, where he died at
10 o'clock. Brown is a young man and
single. He came from West Newton, Pa.
James Finton, an employe at the Lucy
furnace, had his left leg broken yesterday
aiternoon by falling into a furnace nit
Martin Pnceli and George Peirrio were
digging a ditch at thenew residence of Mrs.
J. M. Gusky, on Filth avenue, yesterday
afternoon, when tbe side of the ditch caved
in.Mlmost burying the men. Priceti's right
hipv was dislocated, and he was badly
braised about the body. Peiriro received a
fracture ot the thigb.

hand badly crushed yesterday at Glenwood
yards.
PAST0E E0BEETS MUST PAY.
A Yerdlct of S3.000 in the Breach of
Promise Case Against Him.
Sceanton, October 3. One of the most
sensational cases ever heard in the courts of
this (Lackawanna) county ended this morn
ing, when the jury iu the breach of promise
case of Annie Husaboe against Bev. Peter
Boberts, of the Plymouth Congregational
Church, came in with a verdict of $3,000
damages for the woman. The case has been
frnitlul of surprising developments, and
has created a sensation among the church
going people of thij eity. The deacons of
Boberts' church have clung to him and be
lieved in him dnringthe four years in which
this casejnas been pending in the courts, but
the evidence given has stunned them, and
in case the young man does not voluntarily
withdraw from the pastorate of tbe church,
his resignation will be peremptorily de
manded. Boberts is a graduate of Yale,
and met Miss Husaboe at New Haven in
1886. He wooed, wonand betrayed her, and
she demanded immediate marriage. After
ward he fled to Wales, whither she followed
him. There he renewed his promise to
marry her which had been given in Amer
ica, and both returned to the United States.
Aiter further complications Boberts ab
solutely re'used to lulfill bis promise, and a
criminal case was instituted against bim,
which was never pressed. Boberts' attor
ney made overtures for a settlement, and
once offered $1,000 to that end, but Miss
Husaboe would not consider it, although
she once declared she would accept $200 a
year. While these negotiations were in
firogress, Boberts married a most estimable
adv. When the case finally came to trial
yesterday it was learned that Boberts was
in hiding, and Miss Husaboe could not ap
pear, owing to a nervous attack, brought on
by her troubles. Tbe evidence for tbe plain
tiff was very damaging. Letters from Bob
erts to the woman were produced, in one of
which he says: "If the world is to know
what was between me and you it will be a
fall to three others with myself." It is said
that Pastor Boberts deceived his connsel as
well as the woman and his church, for they
presented no testimony in defense of the
charges.

Waeben, October 3. The accounts of

hundred and eight people, Democrats, Re

displayed and there was no enthusiasm.
The story of Struthers, Wells & Co.'s work

flat. All present expected something in re
