He has so declared himself, and gave his reasons to a representative of the Associated Press. It was thought by many of the politicians that the with¬ drawal of Senator Palmer from the race would induce Governor Altgeld to announce himself. In this they were mistaken. The governor left no room for doubt as to his intentions. “Now that General Palmer has with¬ drawn from the race for the senatorsliip next year,” tho governor wa3 asked, “will you be a candidate?” “No,” he replied. “A decent regard for the proprieties forbids that any Democrat should make an effort to be elected senator in this state next year. As dudes say, it would be in bad form.” "How's that, governor?" the “Well,” he replied, “aside from vacancy caused by tho death of State Senator Hi rb, the Republicans have a majority conditions of 17 of in the this hold state over such senators, that and are if we were to sweep everything before ns next year as we did in 1862 we could not possibly got a majority of more than 12 or 14 of newly elected members, so that even if tho Lord wore to ba with us next year the Republicans would stilt have a majority of five or six on joint ballot. "Under those circumssauces it would bo greedy like for a Democrat to want the place, and as the Democrats are all welibred gentleman, they will not be guilty of such a breach of decorum, but will preserve their dignity and pur¬ sue the even tenor of their way.” ON THE INCREASE.

Their Presence, However* Seems to He Su¬ perfluous, as Holmes Is Really Conduct¬ ing the Case, Suggesting All Questions, Etc.—Many Witnesses Examined—The Day's Proceedings. Philadephia, Oct. 31 —There was but one question passing from lip to lip when the Holmes trial was resumed, what will the next sensation be ? The strange and startling developments which have come pushing and crowding each other since Monday morning have worked the nerves of every listener to such a pitch that whatever may come hereafter, however bizarre or weird, will not be marvelled at. The interest never flags for an instant in or out of court. People are talking, writing, dreaming of the strange pale) story, with its central marvel¬ figure so cold, so and withal, so lously calm. lawyers Holmes has recalled the whom he dismissed the day before, but It is apparent that their presence is even now superfluous. It is Holmes who is trying the ease. Scarcely a question is put to a witness without being first framed or suggested by him to his coun¬ sel, and should they take the liberty to ask anything without first consulting him and the query does not strike him ns a felicitous one, he hesitates not to manifest his displeasure by an Irritable tapping with his pencil on the railing of the dock.

Constantinople, Oct. 28.—Another terrible massacre of Armenians, accom¬ panied by the outraging of women, is reported to have occurred quite recently In the Baiburt district between Er Eeroum and Trebizond. According to the news received here, a mob of about 600 Mussulmans and Lazes, the great majority of whom were armed with Martini-Henry rifles, made an attack upon the Armenians inhabiting several villages of that vicinity and set fire to their houses aud schools. As the Ar¬ menians fled in terror from their dwell¬ ings, they were shot down as they ran and a minilier of men and women who were captured by the rioters, it is added, were fastened to stakes and burned alive. The Armenian women who fell into the hands of tlio unit, it is also asserted, w ere outraged audibrutally mutilated.

Chattanooga, Oct. 29.—The reports as to industrial conditions nil over tho south, as received at the office of Tho Tradesman for the past week, show that temporary changes in prices do not have any decided effect- on the volume of business which steadily increases.

Is the proposition for “free silver at 10 to 1.” expedient and liouost? *•; Stripped of verbiage, the proposition is for this government to embark in the immediate and unlimited coinage of sil¬ ver dollars, each dollar to contain ap¬ proximately 60 cents' worth of silver bullion; to discard all provisions for guaranteeing the concurrent circulation and parity of gold and silver, and to compel by law the acceptance of the new dollars in payment of all debts. Tbe object is to reduce the value of the dollar about one-balf, and by forc¬ ing creditors to take this dollar for debts to senlo all existing obligations. The only exception will bo where the shrewd creditor lias stipulated for payment in gold. Such creditor will bo paid iu full, but tlio unsuspecting man or woman who lias merely trusted to the honor of the nation is to be “dene up,” jast in proportion as tho dollar is scnled. Tlio Populists are solid for tills scheme. It’s iu their line of business. They are opposed to a dollar having any intrinsic value, but if they must have a dollar worth anything at all tho less it is worth the better it snitH them. Very few Republicans take any stock in tho scheme, and the moro'lt is studied the sooner it will be dropped by all think¬ ing men. The agitators assume, because Kansas people are in debt, that every Kansas man ought to join in tho clamor for such dollars. I deny that it is the duty of any man, bocauso ho lives in Kansas and is in debt, to favor a schemo which his conscience tells him is wrong. I am as much in debt as tho average Kansan, but I cannot see why this fact should blind tho conscience or destroy tho ability of a man to reasou on such questions. I believo in bimetallism aud iu the uso of tho largest volume of sil¬ ver as standard money which can be maintained at a parity with our gold and paper money, so that all of our dol¬ lars will be equal for all purposes.
