Washington, 6ct 19. Aciosafriend
ot David, Hill, and a tn&tt-in-Vposillon
to know, has written a letter, .ta whicn
lie states that Hill has said tlffcre Is no
possibility of Bryan carrying. New -York.
The 16-to-l declaration in the-DSinodr&'tle
iMatform, he says, is reponslble Yor the
failure of Eastefh Democrats' to support
the ticket. The whole-jiependeD.ee yf the
Democrats on carrying New Tofk Is
based i on Crpker',B prediction, and ennsr
quently Is very much at fault, as Croker
cannot control anything outside of the
Tammany -element in that stajte. The fail
ure to nominate Coler is also'a reason for
absolute defeat In New York.
Frank Campbell, who Is prominent In
democratic politics In .New J'ork, raised
h. great howl because In commenting upon
the crowds that have come oHtro hear
Bry'an In New York State hecallodj at
tention to the facl tfiat'just such cr6wds
greeted David B. Hill in his canvass or
Governor some years ago. and yet iiJll
-was defeated by over 100,000 majority
Some Democratic leaders talk of depos

drivUc committee because of this indiscreet

land and Indiana.
WASHINGTON. Ocr'iS.Presldent Mc
JKinley is as absolutely" 'isiiralal .carrying;
2ndlana.and3IarylandAs-haJ6 o&4sa.rxy
Ing Ohio. In fact, those who are"1 close to
him say that he sometimes talks of tho
doubtful chances in Ohio, -but that-he is
positive as to Indiana and Maryland.
This is especially th.e 7case-,as.. regards
Indiana, and he won' even talk.abo.ufc it
or" let the matter be discussed, " .saying;
that it is absurd to Junk that .Indiana.. Is.
not going to vote the Republican ticket..
His confidence in llaryla'nd""is'lmc"sf.aa,
the President is one "fthe-best poli
ticians in his party. He knows political
confiitions.,&i31$ia&-Jwe:'H --as-almost any
other man that ever held a political posi
tion. Whether he has been misinformed,
or -whether he simply believes that it la"
the fateoilibJSfiwUCpmtes'ttrgafor MTc-J
iiiniey anfl'Roosevelf; 1J a qifestUm that
cajmot be answered. It Js true that sonlt
men try to give the President the opinion
that everything Is more rosy than It
really is, yet there are others that go to
him and tell him that there are doubtful
conditions In several states. His confl- I
dence In Maryland and Indiana Is onp of
tho curious featuresr of the campaign,
as it was not untilf within a week pant
that the Republican's believed there was
a possibility of Maryland and only a few
days ago did anyone assert that Indiana
was anything but doubtful. The Repub
licans will place Indiana In the doubtful
column until the end of the campaign,
no matter what managers may say for
publication, because they know that It is
a doubtful state, and there is just hope
that it will ,be carried.
The later reports from Indiana received
from various sources Indicate that the
doubt exists because it Is, evident that
McKlnley Is going to lose In the 'cities. It
Is Toportcd In nearly every city, from
Indianapolis down, that there'-wlll be a
falling off. It 1s estimated that in -Indianapolis
alone he will lose -from 4093
to 5C0O votes, and in the smaller cities of
the state a like proportion. The Repub
licans hope to overcome this in the rural
districts They believe that there is going
to bo a general return pf farmers who
left the Republican party and voted for
Bryan in 1S9S, and they figure that the"
rural vote Is twice as large as the city
vote, and consequently If the ratio of
gain for McKlnley In the rural districts
is one-half as largo as tho latio of gain
for Bryan In the cities, It will be a -standoff,
and McKlnley will have something
like the majority he -had four years ago.
This, of course, takes very close figuring
and rather optimistic reasoning on the
jiaft of the Republicans. If there Is any
groat falling off ii. the cities as predicted,,
which the Republicans do not now ac
Icnowlcdgei It is doubtful If the Republi
cans can carry Indiana,
There is always a possibility of secur
ing a large- purchasable vote in Indiana,
but this vote is growing smaller year by
year because of the "dishonesty of the
purchasable vote made, presumably,
by the Australian ballot. It appears that
nder the new system tho floaters and
men .who aro purchased are" so "dishon
est" that they will not "stay bought."
If both parties undertake to use money
the purchasable yote ds still a doubtful
. quantity. However, there Is a great deal
anoro talk about using money for buying
votes than actually occurs, and money Is
usually spent in gettlng;voters to regis
ter and,tgct them out Jo the polH on
-election flay, rather than in outright buy
ing of votes.
ITtom every point of view Indiana Is a
Vory doubtful quantitj'.
On the other hand, Maryland seems to
bo swinging into the Republican line be--eau-e
tlio people, of -ttat itnto arc at-
Iblied with present condition and do not
-want to turn themselves over to thp- isms
that Bryan stands, for. Ifr-ls probable that
the President is ifght In predicting that
the vote of this state will be cast for
him.

Bryan discourses eloquently of many is

Altgeldlsm anarchy has dared most con
spicuously to rear Its head, and where,
therefore, Mr. Bryan is moderately 'safe
In assuming that appeals to ehvy, hatred
and malice, to the passions which prompt
pillage, riot and murder, will not be re
sented, the trust issue is discussed with
a fervor which 'would lead the octopus to

his wondrous bogy of imperialism With
which to frighten the timid into an alli

-Of'a-sc'drt'tled anything which may'suf-
Jcleotly .agpeal to the discontented to en
able the Populist. candidate to gratify an
ambition which is, the most creditable
feature'' of. his. career- up to the present
time. From the Various degrees of fer
vor, then, With which Under different
skies Mr. Bryan discusses different ques
tions, -we may fairly conclude that he does
npt consider any One of the problems
Involved big enough to reach from Maine
to, Texas, or from Ne York to vCall
fornla. "They appeal to him doubtless to
be just as the tariff question appeared
to General Xfancock, local Issues. We
therefore take pleasure in inviting Mr.
Bryan to consider an issue" now beforo
the American people which vitally affects
the welfare of every state, ot every city,
of every village, of every hamlet, of every
man, of every woman and of every child
in this country. That Issue Is Crokerlsm.
It is a mistake to suppose, as many
worthy souls do. Including Mr. Croker
himself, we believe, that Grokerlsm is a
local issue, and! onco fairly embarked

Bryan will And himself following a lead

he will study It intellgently, and with a

mastered the subject In its every phase,
the dlptirigulshed candidate for the Pres

form himself into an oratorical Chameleon
merely to live "up to certain exigencies
or a situation which he must by this time
have found excessively embarrassing. He
will discover in Crokerlsm an issue big
enough to cover every corner of the coun
try he professes to love, and significant
enough to consume every moment of
his speaking time from now Until the 8lh
of November. Properly to set It forth
will tax his vocabulary. Properly to take

his sincerity. In snv event, We advise
him to study It closely, for, successful or
not 1ft his quest for the Presidential of

THE J?IGHT THING.
t-f ' . '! ,
A Xew Catarrh Cure, Which It Rap
idly Cominjr to the Front.
vFor several years, Eucalyntol, Gualco
and" HydrastlrT have been recognized as
standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
but thev have always been given sepa
rately, and only very recently an Inge
nious chemist succeeded In combining;
them, together with , other antiseptics.
Into a pleasant, effective tablet.
Druggists stll the remedy ''Under tho
name ot Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, ana
it has met with remarkable success lit
the, cure of nisal catarrh, bronahlal -and
thrpat catarrh and m catarrh of tha
atcmnch. ; i
Mr. F. N. Benton, whose . address la
care of Clark House, Troy, N. Y.r say3Z
When I run up against anything that Is
good I like to tell people of It. I havo
been troubled with catarrh more or Jess
for some time, last Winter more tharz
ever. Tried several so-called curss, bub
did not get any benefit from them. About
six weeks ago I bought a 30-cent bqx. ot
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets- and I am .glad,
to say that tlrey have done wonder? for
me, -and I do not hesitate to Jet allmy
frlends know that Stuart s Catarrh Tab--lets
are the right thing.
Mr. Georgo J. Casanova, of Hotel Grif
fon, West Ninth street. New Yorit City,
writes: I have commenced using Suart's
Catarrh Tablets and already they have,
given me. better results than any vatarrli
cure I have ever tried.
A leading physlclnn of Pittsbunr .advises
the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets- la
preference to any other treatment for
catarrh of the head, throat or stomach.
He claims they are, far superior to In
halers, salyes, lotion? or powder, and aro
much more convenient and pleasant to
taKe,and are so harmless that little chil
dren take them with benefit, as they con
tain no opiate,, cpcalne, or any poisonous
drug.
All druggists sell Stmrfs Catarrh Tab
lets . Ht,Q cents for full-sized package,
and they are probably the safest anol
most reliable cute for any f&rra oC
catarrh.
