iSS BROTHERS THE PUCE
TO BUY YOUR
inter
FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY.
Why ?
Because
They sell only the best Shoes made, and one pair wil
(year longer than two pairs bought from other houses who
keep cheap stuff. Did you buy Shoes from us last winter?
If so, we ar? not talking to you, as no one could influence
you to buy from any one else; but this is to those who have
| been buying shoddy Shoes from merchants who do not care
| for any thing but the profits, and regardless of wear.
Just ask your'neighbor about our Winter Shoes and
they will tell you about them better than we can write. It
RjL*
is poor economy to buy Shoes for winter that will not
erve you ten months or one year, even if you can get
them for 15 cents a pair less. We are going to keep and
sell Shoes that vvi'l give satisfaction to every one who buys
of us. We want to sell you and your family your winter
goods and will save you money sure. Youis,

W..H 1 NUTUS. D. C., Nov. i 7 -[KpmK!.}—
I luring l ire recess of congress me .tales¬
men and.officials of the capital have noth¬
ing better to gossip about than the future
of parties and the probabilities as to pres¬
idential candidates. The recent election*
afford these gitesips ample text. The re¬
sults of the voting in a number of states
affect the future of faith parties and the
fortune* of several Individuals. On one
point the gossips appear to be united, and
this is that Mr. McKinley will be the Re¬
publican candidate tor president fn 1*96.
On every street corner fn Washington one
meets men who want to go on record with
the prophecy that the governor of Ohio
will lead the protection hosts In 1898, as he
came so near doing last year. If one were
to Judge the future by the present, Mr.
McKinley will have little opposition. To¬
day the talk is that be la so sure of success
that no one will care to oppose him. But
perhaps this is going too far. Many things
may happen between now and the meet¬
ing of the national conventions. There
are to be two more campaigns in the states,
and no one can tell who will be brought
prominently forward by accident or cir¬
cumstance. McKinley That Is now a long way*
in the lead. tremendous majority,
the fact that protection was the Issue in
Ohio, the great revival of Republican spirit
and enthusiasm everywhere, with the tar¬
iff as tbe leading issue, are circumstances
which make tbe gallant governor of the
Buckeye State norm Invincible,
Democrats to Fao* the Music,
Nor should It be forgotten that McKin¬
ley wili be bel. ed by events which are to
occur iu the mu; future. The Democratic
party will enact, a new tariff law. Though It
the bill has pot be -it made public, 'em Is
nearly completed, i n 1 the principles
which It is construe e l are too well known
to make retreat poexible at thie time. Yonr
corrwjtondent is able to give a little inside
information on this point. When the elec¬
tion news came, the Democratic memiiers
of the ways and means committee were at
work on their bill. As they approached
the end of their labors they felt pretty
good. But the new* from Ohio, Ma«tn
chusetfc*, New York, Iowa and other states
was anything but pleasant. At once the
questiou arose whether or uot, in view of
tbe results of the elections, the bill should
not lie modified and ho mads a little loss
radical In its application of the revenue
reform principle to the important sched¬
ules. This discussion still continues. On
one side It Is r.rgued (hat tha country
has not yet recovered from its business de¬
pression, and that a radical change of the
tariff will alarm the people and Insure
Democratlo detent. Others point that to the
Chicago platform and demand the
well known principles adhered of the party Three there
declared be strictly to.
men say it would bo cowardly to retreat
under fire or to abandon principles be¬
cause of temporary reverses. All the
oha(ices are that the ways and means com¬
mittee will stick to it* text and report the
bill which it had elections. practically agreed upon
before thd recent
Will Help McKinley.
In Washington It la 1*1 lev ed the Demo¬
cratic tariff law will help McKinley sad
make his nomination for president even
more probable than It is today. It is held
that the people will pot be satisfied with
the new law. They rarely are how pleased constructed with
any tariff law, no matter
or by which party effected. For three rea¬
son* the men who are prophesying Mc¬ far¬
Kinley’s nomination are willing to go
ther and say he will 1* elected. Many
people are foolish enough to try to look
this far into the future. They may be
right, hut they should remember that the
feeling of the people on the tariff question
to a sort of pendulum, swinging impossible now one
way, then the other, It is not
it will swing hack again before the next
presidential election,
Tho Woman's Favorite Candidate,
If McKinley proves to be the winner of
the Republican prise, many men and wom¬
en in Washington will be gratified. He
to one of the most popular Republicans
that ever sat in congress. He lias dignity,
yet he is one of the most approachable of
men. He Is genial, sunny, companionable.
Bo far as the women are concerned, they
are enthusiastic for him. He Is the wom¬
an’s candidate for president. If tbe wom¬
en bad a vote, he would probably be
elected, •
Their love for him grows tint of hi* de¬
votion to his invalid wife, which Wash¬
ington knows so well. For years Mr. and
Mrs. McKinley lived at n hotel in this
city. He was always by her side except
when his duties called him away. No
lover could t* more attentive than he.
These are things which touch women’s
hearts—and men’s too.
John Sherman For McKinley.
On another point the gossips are In sc-
oonl. They say Senator Sherman has
finally put the presidency behind him,
and that he will not be in Mr. McKinley's
way in 1890. There can be no doubt this
to true. Senator Sherman said to some of
bis friends here before going to Ohio to
take part in the campaign that if Govern¬
or McKinley could win by a big majority
nothing could prevent his nomination lr.
1898. One hears men saying Mr. Bhermau
should have been nominated for president
long ago; that he deserved this honor at
tbe hands of hto party. Doubtless Mr.
Bbennan thinks so too, but that he has
concluded tha presidency 1* not for him.
that his day has passed, there can be no
doubt. While this is a subject on which
be rarely or never talks, actions speak
louder than words. John Bherman, the
Nestor of Anx-rli-an public life, ts not in
the presidential running. Ohio will be
free for the first time to present as her can¬
didate her favorite win, William McKin¬
ley, Jr. At Chicago In 1888 Mr. McKin¬
ley electrified the convention by hi* ring¬
ing declaration, while standing on a chair
In the convention hall, that any man who
voted for him was hto enemy; that he was
for John Sherman. At Minneapolis last
va*r McKinley was for Harrison and did
hto best to stand placed loyal to the Harrison of
cause, though in a position ex¬
traordinary delicacy and embarrassment,
being tbe chairman of tbs. convention
while the balloting waa In progress, with
hto name finally aa that of Harrison's
chief rival. From this on It to safe to say
Ohio will have but one presidential candi¬
date to boom, and that she will push him
forward with her accustomed vigor.

many a laurel wreath to Himnish com¬
