Speculation.
By A- oelaud Press.
Philadi iohia, Oct. 6. —Among tba letters
introduced by the prosecution against Sen
at. r Quay and his eon was thi.s oae from
Haywood to Cashier Hopkins, dated No

“Ycurs of 19th liTit with inclosures re
ceived, which I rurowitb return signed.
Purchase an additional one hundred sharta
of the same etock at 110; 100 shares at
10); 100 . at 107; 100 shares at 100.
Os course purchase all for less if you can,
so that the average will b» maintained.
My information is that this clock will go
higher in the mar future. Your friend,
Mr. Elkin, is a partner in thus transaction,
as you will see by the signature on the
note. Mr. M. is to have the use of fifty
from November Ist, 1806. You and he can
arrange when he can use it.”
The first Quay letter was to Hopkins,
under date of January, 1897, saying:
“Dear John: Give George Huhn $25,000
for me. It is for a margin on some stocks.
Send me a note lor $25,000 and I will sign
■and return.”
The next, dated September 21, 1897, is as
follows:
”1 have at Huhn’s 900 shares of Met. I
wish you to take it out for me. It stands
$110,812.50 August 31 and with your $61,625
will make $172,437.50 I will owe your bank.
I have 100,000 New Jersey bonds. 1.500
shares of New Jersey stock, which I will
change into Met. as soon as the top notch
in Jersey is reached. That is to say, I will
sail the Jersey securities and pay off the
indebtedness. The Jersey bonds ought to
go par within sixty days. When, they are
pair the stocks will be at least fifty. It w’ll
pay a small dividend next year. Please
write me on receipt of this.
“p. s.—l supose there is some circular io
the Met. holders explaining what was dene
a* the meeting. If there ;«$ please send me
one.” *£
The next dated September 22, 1597 asks
permission to make an overdraft og SI,OOO
•to be carried until November. It reads
■f unite r:
“You can carry it as an overdraft, or
sen 1 me a due bill here.”
The next, dated September 26. 1597, is as
follows:
“Your letter is to hand. The arrangs
ment about the stock to satisfactory.
Also the following signed by Quay:
“Ocotbcp 2S, 1897. —‘ Inclosed I send you
a power of attorney to transfer a thousand
shares if Consolidated Jers y stock. Please
wire me on r >ceipt ”
“My Dear Hopkins. I enclose csr.t’fleates
number A. 1198, for the thousand shares of
Consolidated Traction Company of New
Jersey, according to promise. Please wire
me at Sewiekley. Pa., 'on the receipt. I
w• 11 b? at Sewiekley over tomorrow, on
Friday, going ther* 3 in the afternoon, will
be at Beaver. 1 see 200 shares of Jersey
sold yesterday at 37. I suppose it was
tnir.e. I think you can get that and better
for ali cf it.''
The next letter, dated December 10. 1597.
is as fallows:
Dear Hopkins: I forgot to say that the
cost of the stock at Huhn’s will be about
$130,000. as he has about SII,OOO or $12,000
of my money there, and you will have one
hundred and fifteen thousand proceed® of
Consolidated Jersey securities and profits
on <tha Met. will about square m,y ac
count when the sugar is paid for. I want
to 1 lake $50,000 of Dick’s bonds. *S?e you
about it. There are three hundred more
shares of Consolidated Jersey lying with
Montgomery, which you will sell in addi
tion to your present holding. I see the
bonds have advanced two or three dollars
an 1 the stock ought to go up.”
The next dated December 17. 1897: .
Dear John: The understanding i«s that
Monte shall sell 1.666 Consolidated Trac
tion of Pittsburg at 42 1-4 against that
$647,000 lean, and if sold at this price there
:< a margin of $423,000. This will be sent
to you. With proceeds of fat 300 shares
will leave a credit to me oa your bank of
about $10,000.”
The next dated ISth. was as follows:
“I go to Florida tomorrow to be absent
two or three weeks. My post office address
will be San Luce, my telegraph Ft. Pierce.
I wrote you last right bat without spec
tacles. 1 could net real the letter and
maybe you could not. I have 1,666 shares
of Beaver Consolidated preferrel by Mont
gomery. Out of the proceeds will pay a
note cf $47,000. The balance will seme to
you and with the proceeds of the Jer
sey stock you will have SIO,OOO to my
credit. I look for lower prices and on any
decided break want you to take in again
a thousand Met. and a thousand sugar. I
heard McMan-se has met with an ac
cident and hope he is getting along alright.
Remember me kindly to him.”
' “December IS. 1897. —I inclose check cn
Carson & McCartney. Washington, for
$15,000 to be credited to mv account. I
fired today to Montgomery to send you
roceeds cf contract preferred, some
11.000, which will leave my account in
fettv good shape. The divident on sugar
Hues in on 7th prex, $3,000. Dick will be
I the bank on Monday and may need your
rip. If so, see him through, even if you
have to sell some-of the sugar certificates;
but don’t do that unless absolutely neces
sary. I will be at the bank next week
some day.
“January 31, 1898—According to my ac
count I ought to have about $35,000 to my
credit. I am buying one hundred Mergen
rhaler at about 1.43 and will cheek on you
for amount when purchase is completed,
•say $14,000. Also 1 wish you to buy and

Tb* rex was a telegram, dated February
il 189$, follower
“San i-uce. Fla. —John S. Hopkins: I?

year telegram saying the bonds are low
again. How much cf the stock have you
-old? Wc will leave here on or before
th first of December; most likely will be
tom- by then.”
“December 4. 1897. —Dear John: I will
ir; you know before drawing on you.
J lea. - write me ami give me statement of
my c count. Wha" do you hear about Met?
I thought when I bought this stock that it
would go very much higher tan it is, but
I am commencing, to feel like letting it go,
to take it on again at lower figures.
There are no war note-3 at present and the
action of the Spanish government, and the
president’s message will he quieting and
pacific.”
• ,
“December 7, IS97.—Dear John: As to
the- Met. scrip the reason for its cheapness
Ls that it bears no interest until October
and tha* the company has the option to pay
in cash cr in stock. The option is with the •
company and not with the holder of the
<«:oek. Should it go to the bad it will be
continued. If the stock goes above par and
remains so the company will pay the cash,
Mr. Huhn tells me, and it seems to me
that under the circumstances that 92 or 93
is a very full price for it.”
“December 10, IS >7. —Dear John: I have
a thousand shares cf sugar that Huhn
bought at 1.42, which I wish to pay for and
take ever to the Peoples’. I have bought
it for keep but don’t wish the stock placed
in my name just yet, as I wil sell it if I
find I an get it any lower. Get rid of the
Met. scrip and Consolidated Jersey stock as
rapidlv as you can at ;he figures fixed.”
Her? was offertd a receipt dated Decem
ber 14, 1897, as follow?:

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING OCTOBER 6
DEMOCRACY
TRIUMPHANT,
Election Yesterday VYili Give
Candler.a Majority of
Nearly 60,000.
POPULISM'S IEIIS BLOW,
That Party Will Not Have More
Than Ten Counties in the Leg
islature th : s Session.
Atlanta. Oct. o—Yesterday’s election was
the- most complete Democratic victory that
has ever been kne -vn in this state.
Considering the fa:-: that in these coun
ties where there was no contest's, the reg
istration was unusually light and voting
very slow Candler’s majority was a sur
prise to everyone.
Twenty-two counties were redeemed
from the Populists and the People's party
was almost effaced from the political map
cf Georgia.
Colonel Gandler’s majority is easily 25,-
i*oo votes ahead of the Democratic majority
for governor two years ago, and this on an
unusually light vote.
•Bibb county for instance, where a total
vote of 2,100 was polled in 1896, only 509
votes were cast this year. In Chatham the
vote yesterday was less than half what it
was in the race between Governor W. Y.
Atkinson an 1 Hon. Seaborn Wright.
There were seme notable victories for
the state ticket yesterday. Greene county,
one of the strongholds of Populism, was
redeemed by a handsome majority, and so
were Laurens, Gordon. Lumpkin. Oconee,
Cherokee, Wayne and Baldwin all coming
back to Democracy. Floyd county, which
gave Wright a majority in 1896 of 300,
gave Candler 900 over Hogan. Then the
Democrats have 'Screven. Jackson Talia
ferro, Wayne, White, Glasscock and John
son.
The Populists will not have more than
ten members cf the house of representa
tives, and they do not appear to have
elected a single senator. In a few coun
ties they made a fight for local offices, ’out
aside from that their ticket cut very little
figure in the result. As a political organ
ization. the people’s party received its
death blow yesterday in Georgia.

to bear this hardship uncomplainingly. If
a woman is in thoroughly good health it
does r.ot com*- so hard, but when, as is fre
quently the case, the poor woman is suf
fering from the pains, nervousness, debility
and ill-health that are a result of weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
ganism, the task is too much.
Under these circumstances, unless the j
right remedy is used, the poor woman will j
soon break down completely and fill an
early grave. Over 00,000 women have testi
fied to the marvelous merits of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. Many of their
names, addresses, photographs and ex
periences have been published by permis
sion in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Med
ical Adviser. The Favorite Prescription ”
cures all weakness and disease of the deli
cate and important organs that bear matern
ity’s burdens. It makes them well and
strong. It builds up the nervous system.
It makes weak, sickly, nervous, fretful wo
men strong, healthy, amiable wives. All
medicine dealers sell it.
“My youngest daughter, Mrs. Julia Raphe,
was all run down with nervous prostration and
lung trouble.” writes Mrs. Julia Ann Gibson, of
Nickerson, Reno Co., Kansas. “She took Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ‘ Golden Med
