FRIDAY. - - - OCTOBER 5. 1894
A DOUBTFUL ELECTION.
The election in Georgia results exactly
as was expected in the usual democratic
victory though by decreased majorities.
That result will be duplicated in every
state south of Mason and Dixon's line.
The fight for supremacy will be made
north of that line, and the western states
or states west of the Mississippi have a
chance to make their power felt.. Unless
some unforeseen changes should occur,
it would not be at all surprising if the
next president was not chosen by con
gress. With a solid south, and the
probable populist success in some of the
western states, the chance for a republi
can majority over all while good, is by
no means certain. In order to make it
certain New York must be carried.
Wiile this will probably be done at the
coming election, it must be remembered
that New York is naturally and usually
democratic. With 153 votes from the
south and 35 from New York but forty
more would be required by the populists
end democrats to make the vote a tie.
Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Mon
tana, Idaho, Nevada and California, of
the West may furnish these, while Ill
inois and Connecticut may one or the
other, help. There is no party has a
walk over for the next presidential elec
tion. OHIO MONEY.
The democrats of Ohio have adopted
or rather have issued a manifesto which
starts out with a falsehood. I says
the last campaign "was fought upon
two principal issues, a reformation of
the tariff, and the adjustment of the
money question by the restoration ot
silver to its rightful power and func
tions as one of the money metals under
the constitution." The truth is the sil
ver question was not made an issue in
the last campaign. The democracy
were afraid to raise that question in a
national election, knowing that did they
do so, New York was lost to them. The
question was forced by President
Cleveland at the expense of the tariff
bill which he jeopardized and practically
killed by putting it off and attacking
silver. It follows the - false assertion
however with one that is perfectly true it
is that : "The demand for money is in
cessant," and it might have added be
coming more and more clamorous under
democ.atic rule. The manifesto is a re
hash of obsolete greenback theories cal
culated to catch the popular vote. That
history will repeat itself concerning
those ideas is well assured.
PENNOYER DECLINES.
"Governor Pennoyer in a letter de
clining an invitation to fill a week, s en
gagement in Montana says: "If the
present ruinous depression in businees
and values, resulting directly from the
demonitization of silver, and not from
any tariff taxation, or change in such
taxation, will not persuade the people of
Montana to vote against both of the old
political parties, dominated by Wall
. street and equally responsible for such
demonitization, then no persuasion of
mine would be availing, 'neither will
they be persuaded though one rose from
the dead.' "
And for the last reason our good" gov
ernor refuses to be resurrected. Such
perspicacity from a corpse is startling.
Prof. Dewar is attracting world-wide
attention by his remarkable series of
successful experiments, in the Royal
Institution laboratory, where he has
liquefied oxygen, solidified nitrogen and
reduced air to a frozen solid at a temper
ature of 346 degrees Fahr. below zero.
For years frozen carbonic acid was the
limit in extraordinarily low temperature,
but Prof. Dewar begins where some of
his predecessors ended in that journey
toward "the absolute zero" that has so
long been looked forward to by the ex
plorers in this department of science.
Hydrogen is still successfully repellent
to all efforts at the solidification of that
lightest of all gases. A generation ago
Farady advanced the theory that hydro
gen was metallic. It has many charac
teristics that accord with that theory.
The other theory that all metals are
finally resolvable into hydrogen, and
that hydrogen is the one simple element,
does not meet with any present favor
with scientists.
In perusing the Pendleton Tribune of
yesterday which devotes most of its
space to the visiting editors, we realize
fully what a fine time our more fortun
ate brethren and "sistern" have had.
We have the consolation, however, of
knowing that we do not have to go home
and go to work again. The trip to Mil
ton and the reception at that place was
one of the delightful portions of the
meeting, and from our contemporary's
description of the feed given the hungry
quill drivers, it is evident that Milton
folks understand the genus, newspaper
man and realizes that the royal road to
the intelligence is through the stomach.
Some of those editors won't require
another solid meal before Thanksgiving,
which is perhaps fortunate for them, for
they might not get it.
The democratic majority in Georgia
has been reduced from 65,000 to 20,000.
Some of our exchanges see in this a sign
of weakening in the democracy of the
South. They forget that Hoke Smith is
from Georgia and that the falling off in
the vote was caused not by defection,
but by Hoke sapplying 50,000 Georgians
with office. If the president does not
check him, Georgia will either be pop
ulist or depopulated by another election.

recommended them to my friends and
employes for more than twenty years.
To my certain knowledge, many cases
of the following complaints have been
completely and ;
Permanently Cured
by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third
day chills, dumb ague, bilious 'fever,
sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys
pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I
know that a moderate use of Ayer's
Pills, continued for A few days or weeks,
as the nature of the complaint required,
would be found an absolute cure for the
disorders I have named above." . .
"I have been selling medicine for
eight years, and I can safely say that
Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction
than any other Pill I ever sold." J. J.
Perry, Spottsylvania C. H., Va.
