FUSION ON THE DOWN GEADE Stnlwiirt "iVr-nt to Sec Wiiiiiimnkrr, Martin and Pllnn in the Open nnd on Ike Stamp For the limnrKi-nt-Demoerntle Combine Candidates, anil Reaulta of (In- Stone nml llnr m ii Campaign Will n- Repeated. (Special Com Bpondenoe.) Philadelphia, Oct. 16. Gen. Frank Reader, chairman of tho Republican statu committee, anil Senator Holes Penrose spent an entire day in New York last week In consultation with Chairman Manna and members of the executive committee of the Republiaco national committee. Upon their re turn to this city they were quite en thusiastic over the reports they heard through the national committee lead ers regarding the prospects of resi dent McKinley's election by even a larger vote in the electoral college than was given him four years ago. They could not, however, conceal tho anxiety which the party leaders have over the situation in the canvass for memberi of the national house of rep resentatives. "It Is quite probable," said Chairman Mauley, of the executive committee of the national committee, to Gen. Reeder, "that iu many states in which McKin Iey will have an increased vote we shall lose congressional districts which are now represented by Republicans, in the bouse. This fact confronts us, and we must therefore use every ef fort to offset these probable losses, which may occur In the middle western states, by Republican gains in New York and Pennsylvania." After expressing himself In this manner phairman Manley went into detail with Oen. Ueeder regarding tho situation in every congressional dis trict In this state, and while reports received from the county chairmen in dicated that the party organization is making an aggrt slve campaign the leaders are very seriously handicapped in several congressional district fights owing to the action of so-called Repub licans In tuslonlng with the Democrats on the legislative nominations. DUTY TO REPUBLICANS. Chairman Manley said lie regretted fo hear this, and declared that it was the duty of every Republican to stand by his party ticket from top to bottom in such an important crisis as now confronts the Republican organisation In the nation in the matter of the con trol of the next congress. Chairman llunna fully concurred in this declaration and directed the heads of the various bureaus at the national committee headquarters to honor every request from Chairman Ueeder for literature and for speakers for meet ings in the interest of the Republican candidates for congress in this state. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only ono way to pure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inlluuied condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When the tube gots inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i im perfect heariuc. and when it ia en tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for auv case of Deafness (caused bv catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free, F. J. OHENET & CO., Toledo, C. Sold bv ail druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. "We must gain congressmen In Pennsylvania," declared Senator Han ua emphatically, "and we must do everything possible to help the party organization in the state get out the full vote." Chairman Manna assigned former Congressman John S. Wise, of Vir ginia, one of the strongest orators on the list at the national committee head quarters, and Col. Fatrless, another gifted orator from Virginia, to ac company Col. Quay's party on the tour of Pennsylvania. Other speakers will be assigned to meetings to be held In the several contested congressional districts in this state. INSURGENTS WITHOUT HOPE. While the insurgent Republicans of the Martin-Fllnn combination are pre paring to make one last rally to round up their forces before the election there la every reason to believe that they are very much disheartened and fear that they will make a sorry showing at the election. Martin has practically given up hope of doing anything for the In surgent movement in this city. He can not defeat a single Republican candi date for the legislature, either with a stralghtout Democratic candidate or in a fusion deal with one Democrat and one Republican. This fact Is known to his fellow In surgents In the state. While they will keep up a beating of the tom-toms, be cause there Is nothing else for them to do, those who know the true situation realize that there is nothing for them to expect out of the present campaign. The repeated announcements that John Wanamaker Is to take the stump for the fusion ticket are hailed with de- i light by the stalwart Republican lead ers. They want him to go Into every county where there Is a fusion com bine on the legislature. They feel that his speeches will have about the same effect as they had In the campaigns against the election of Governor Stone and against the election of Col. James E. Harnett, of the Tenth regiment, for state treasurer, Wauamakerism is not popular In this city, and It Is not likely that It will be any more so in the state than heretofore. Disappointed and disgruntled mil lionaires have discovered that the Re publicans of the Keystone state do not recognize money as the sole qualifica tion for party leadership nor for of ficial honors. Mr. Wanamaker has been conspicu ously lacking in party services, except when he has an ax of his own to grind, and his attempts to disrupt the Re publican organization of this stal have thus far signally failed of their pur pose. The presence of Col. Guffey here last week with the M irtln-Flinn outfit drew attention to the crafty game this D m ocratlc politician Is playing. He has made all sorts of deals with the insurgents for the defeat of Re publican cant Hire, .and at till same time he Is taking advantage of the dissensions wh;:; he has thus nourished In the Republican organisation to help eh -t Dt mocrata to congress. Me I? working for all he Is worth for the election of McAleer, a Democrat, to congress from this city, and he has the active support of the David Martin organization, or at least so much of it a Martin can control Tired that's all. No energy, no vim, no vigor, no ambition. The head aches, thoughts are confused, memory fails. Life becomes a round of work but half accom plished, of eating that does not nourish, of sleep that fails to refresh and of resting that never rests. That's the beginning of nervous prostration.

There is always a demand for a great saereil long, " The Palms," "The Holy City" and others have Iktii sung by thousands. Next Sunday, September 21, "The Philadelphia Press" will give free to its readers Arthur Trevelyan'i magnificent "Choir Celestial," one of the most iM'fttit.ful songs ever wrltttn. This supplement is in regular sheet music size, ready to be placed on the music rack, it has a suberbly orna mental frontispiece in six colors, which ! beautiful enough to frame. Frankly, this is the finest piece of sheet music, both as to appearance and quality of the composition, ever given away to the public nnd it is yours, absolutely free, with next Sunday's "Press." It will be well to order next Sunday's "Press" in advance. Martin, however finds that he earmot command many of hit former follow era, who say they propose to go along with the Republican organisation and help elect Henry Burk, the Republi can nominee for congress against Uc Aleer. The insurgents find that they will cut a small figure In this district, as not only will Mr. Burk be elected, but every Republican candidate for state representative, as well aa the state sen ator, will be elected also. PATTISON FOR BRYAN AND FU SION. Up In the Sibley district the Insur gents are working with Emery, who la running on the Democratic ticket for congress, and former Governor Paul son, who has been atumping for Bryan in the doubtful atatea, has been sent up to Sibley's district to help the insur gents elect Emery to congress and de feat the Republican candidates for the legislature. Emery supported Paul son when he ran for governor, and Pattlson Is now returning the favor. Sibley, the regular Republican candi date for congress iu this district, la going to win, and win by a large majority. CAMPAIQrUOMMENT. Crisp and Timely Chat of the Presidential Canvass.

Senator Welllngtonton goes away from home to do his campaigning. By this move he manages to escape some of the wrath of bis constituents. The difference between Hryanism and Democracy is the difference be tween politics In Its worst sense and statesmanship In its historical sigillca- tion. Bryan despairs of the future of tho country because the voters insist on permitting business to influence their politics, and yet be himself has grown wealthy by making politics his busi ness. It Is safe to predict that free sliver will never again find place in a Demo cratic platform, but it will take tho party a long time to overcome the stig ma of having adopted such a financial heresy. Ilon't tuinl (Iowa the Fine Mr. Bryan fears that the full dinner pail may not last through the cam paign. It is sure to do that, but it will lie empty pretty soon after election. If, by any unexpected accident, he should be elected. The settlement of the differences be tween the steel workers and their em ployers is a serious blow to the Demo cratic managers. A campaign which depends upon business depression is naturally fragile and sensitive. ThiiNi' who uphold lnw nnd order i weauf tin' i'Iiik. A multiplicity of paramount Issues has not been productive of harmony In the Democratic household. Even those who desire to follow their leaders hav had to "about face" so often that they cannot for the life of them tell whether they ure coming or going. After tho November elections the gold Democrats will be in position to say "I told you so," and It will be their turn to dictate the conditions for res toration to membership for those who abandoned the worship of the true principles Ot Democracy for the prlvl legs of dancing around the silver calf. The Democratic papers print with ghoulish glee every piece of news cal culated to show with more or less ac curacy that the Filipinos are rising everywhere antl killing the soldier boys of the United States. But they forget to add that the responsibility for it rests with some of the Democrats. In 1895. under Democratic adminis tration, our favorable trade balance was $75,568,200. During the last three years, under the Republican policy of expansion In the world's markets, our valuable trade balance has averaged more than $565,000,000 each year. Thla means more work for the mills and more work for American labor.
