Wyomtng County lor Judge
Dunham.
A letter received from Frank S.
S. 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

Ballad of Bryan'a Booat.
"I tell you what," suld William J.,
"I'm dead in love with Alton B.
He'll raise tlie standard every (lay
Of safe and sane Democraoy.
You'll never hear a knock from m»
From slander I shall e'er refrain
And offer him, on bended knee.
A boost like Abel sot from Cain!
"The grand old snge of Esopus
Bent, It Is true. a telegmm
Proving that he's a nervy cuss.
Let htm—l do not (lveadaro!
Others may hammer, slur nnd slam
That sphinxlike leader, ultra sane;
I'm giving him—that's what I am—
A boom like Abel got from Cain.
"I love not men like David Hill—
I love not Sheehan'a petty tricks.
\.a for myself, I've had my fill
Of every kind of politics.
Truly. I do not care two sticks
For sleeping 'neath the White llous*
vane.
For Alt I'll put In all my licks—
A boost like Abel got from Cain!"
ENVOT.
Bryan! I trust you will admit
There Is some sense In my refrain;
Oreat praise for Parker, Isn't It—
A booat like Abel sot from Cain!

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
