Harding, the chairman of Wy oming county declares that Judge Dunham will carry Wyoming bv from three to five hundred ma j >rity any reports to the contn ry not withstanding. This prediction is based upon the- most reliable facts and ligures. The conditions in Wyoming county are such tnat Mr. Terry willlosa hundreds of Democratic Mites throughout the comity, and Judge Dunham's popularity taken in connection witli the above fact, and the large Republican majority that Wyoming county will give this fall are plain reasons for the accuracy of Mr. Harding's 'igures. FREE TRADE BOURBONS. Take l'p the Old Fitiiillinr Wrnixini to Attack Protection. It is like good old times to boar tbe Democratic newspapers and spokesmen take up the weapons of free trade and with them the impudent but delicious assumption of the free trader that the American people are opposed on prin t-ipie to protection, which only persists because of the powerful influence oi the "protected interests." Three large facts have written them selves into current American history and should have made some impression on every intelligence not hopelessly Bourbon. The first of these was that the last Democratic tariff was a failure as a revenue getter and a potent factor in producing the soup kitchen era. The second was that the masses of the peo pie took the measure of tariff reform In that period and recorded themselves, so far as they could, in the off year elec tions of 1804 and 189."> and only with g-eat reluctance consented under the pressure of a new peril to forego their revenge and the tariff verdict they were eager to euter In 1890. The third is that the protective principle, as em bodied In the Dingley tariff, not only cured the country's immediate distress, but ushered In a period of the greatest prosperity and industrial and commer cial activity In our history.—New York Mail. Senator Davis' Barrel. Kx-Senator Davis, octogenarian can didate for vice president, lias a big "bar'l," but does not propose to put it 011 tap for campaign purposes. He made no promises and did not bid for the nomination, so the Democratic managers cannot complain.—Tacoma Ledger. Somewhat Mixed. The country is somewhat incoherent ly assured that Judge Parker heroical ly put away his chances for the presi dency and thereby Improved his chances of being elected.--Brooklyn fctandard-U nlon.

Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BKCAUSK —Incontestable from tlu date of issue. Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because—non forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK I,IFF, policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written.
