(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,

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.
"I was very nervous and so tired
and exhausted that I could not do my
work. One dose of Dr. Miles' Nervine
quieted my nerves and drove away the
lassitude. Seven bottles did wonders
in restoring my health."

THE CHOIR CELESTIAL.
One ot the Greatest Musical Composi
tions Free to All.
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

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.

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.

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.
