cratlc friends, temporarily led astray,
that only state issues were involved.
This sentiment was cheered repeatedly.
“As New York goes now, so it is like
ly to go in 1898,” said the senator, and
lie went on to say that the best proof
of this was that Harrison, Reed, McKin
ley and Depew had been sent to work
here by the astute Republican man
agers. He concluded this line of
thought with a plea for party unity,aud i
again he was cheered ropeared'y.
Further on Senator Hill said: “Mr.

speeches to assert that the Democratic

After talking with him he said to a per

“A week ago I was somewhat doubt
ful of the result of the pending fight,
but from the information I have gained
since that time this doubt has been en
tirely removed, and I am now absolute
ly certain of a Demooratio victory.”
Senator Murphy, who has beon hard
at work at headquarters for a week, has
gone back .o Troy. He said that at one
time things looked dark for the Demo
cratic party, but that now the atmos
phere has oiuurud up aud sure victory
awaits the party in the state.
“I do not hesitate," he said, “to soy
that if Mr. Morton receives a majority
of 40,000 above the Harlem river he will
do as well as he oan expect. Everything
depends upon New York and Kings.
Morton's majority above the Harlem
river, in my judgment, will not only bo
overcome here, but there will be a very
fair margin to spare."

eral Ferdinand P. Earle, ou Washing

provided he is elected.
Hill’s Wonderful Powers of Eudaraavv.
Mr. Hill’s campaign, now about
closed, demonstrates another fact, be
tides his great ability as a campaigner
and organizer, and that is the splendid
physique of the man. Day after day
ana night after night he has ridden
from plaoe to plaoe and spoken, almost,
on an average of every six hoars. And yet
he seems as strong today as when he be
gan the campaign.
In his speech at Schenectady, Senator
Hill oommended to the consideration of
the earnest friends of tariff reform in
New York and Brooklyn the statement
of ex-President Harrison, that there was
a national question of groat importance
Involved In this campaign. This, the
their interests.
Referring to recent attacks upon him
Senator Hill said: “My publlo life and
services are well known to tho people,
aud I need no special defense at this
time, either from Republican attaoks nr
from the. attacks of their allies in any
third party. I have been an earnest
partisan because I have believed in the.
principles of my pfity, and I believe In
them still. Of course the Republicans
do not want me elected, because they
know what my election means. It
means Demooratio supremacy in this
state for many years to come; it means
harmony in our ranks hereafter; it
means an aggressive Democracy; it
means reduced taxation; home rule for
cities and religions liberty. It means a
Democratic victory in 1896 for whoever
the standard bearer may be.
“Be of good cheer. We are coming
in on the home stretch."

Jamestown, N. Y., Nov. 8.—The most
amusing incident of Ohauucey M. De
pew’s tour was the passing of Governor
Flower at Wellsville. Mr. Depew not
only met the governor at the depot and
gave him some medicine for his hoarse
ness, bnt in his speech at the opera
house told the Republicans to go to the
depo.t and hear what the Democratic
tourist had to say.
The Republicans went, and the gov
ernor was highly gratified to see sueh a
big crowd. But it surprised him that
there was no applause. He soou learn
ed from the interruptions and jeers that
it was a Republican crowd.
Mr. Depew was in the audience, and
when Governor Flower mentioned his
name the crowd yelled “Chauncey is
here!” but the governor could not see
the distinguished orator.
“Give us a joint debate,” cried out
the Republicans, but Mr. Depew Said;
‘‘No. I’ll not worry him.”
MARVELOUS RESULTS.
From a letter written by*Rev. J. Guu-
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to muke this extract: “I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of
my wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrihle par
oxysms of coughing would last hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recoommended Dr. King’s New
Discovery; it was quiok in its work
and highly satisfactory in its results.’’

Indianapolis, Nov. 3.—Fire destroyed
the Indiana medioal college here and
quickly spread to the Scottish Rite build
ing adjoining, where the finest Masonic
paraphernalia in the west was reduced
to ashes. This outfit had but recently
been purchased and the estimated loss
to the Masons by reason of its destruc
tion, together with the 0 story building
and all the other contents, will reach
$100,000.
The Indianapolis Gas company’s of
fice occupied the ground floor of the
corner building, the medical college
having the two floors aliove. Every
■eotion of the structure was levelled to
the ground, and a ghastly feature of
the 111 luster was the foot that 18 bodies,
storod in the vats for dissecting pur
poses, were burned to a orisp.
Tl. < sreiioh of burning hnman flesh
was nauseating. The bones of the ca
davers dropped into the cellar aud pre
sented a sickening spectacle.
Tkafire was still burning at 9 o’clock.
The total loss is about $J 75,000, anc the
insurance, exclusive of that on the con
tents, $80,000.
