BARKIS IS WILLIN".
St Louis. October 2. Vice-President
Stevenson arrived here today. A rep
resentative of the Associated Press In

reports that Sewall and Watson would
resign or be dropped from their re
spective tickets and a candidate sub-
vania politics, a Democratic candidate stituted who could bring the voters of
will be defeated by a vote of more than
two to one. The majority against him
in Pennsylvania will certainly be
greuter than his entire vote received In
the state.
It would alsj be an unpleasant re
flection to Mr. Rryan if he could be
made to appreciate the fact that, of
the tens of thousands who hazr.aed
themselves hoarse at his welcome on
Tueseday night, not one-half of them
and mor? likely not one-fourth of them
will vote for him on the third of No
vember. A citizen of this state, as In
other stales, must be qualified as an
elector; and not one in a hundred of
those who wer? most enthusiastic In
his welcome would qualify himself as
an elector to vote for him by the pay
ment of the trivial tax of 50 rents. In
deed, there were more voters ln and
about the Academy of Music on Tues
day night last than the entire vote
Mr. Bryan will receive In this city.
In 1S72, when the Liberal Republicans
held a most Imposing national conven
tion ln Cincinnati and nominated Hor
ace Greeley against Grant, his friends
who were there to study the situa
tion reported to him In great alarm
the character and number of the Lib
eral movement. Grant quietly puffed
away at his cigar until he had heard
the story, and then he said In his sen
tentious way: "Yes, they were all
there." Not only were all the Bryan
men of Philadelphia out to welcome
him on Tuesday night, but curiosity
called out many, many thousands who
will vote ln the most direct way to de
feat his election.
Such is the sober aftermath of Mr.
Bryan's grand demonstration tn the
City of Brotherly Love.
the Democratic and Populist parties to
gether. He said:
"This Is the first time I have heard
of the matter and I think it amounts
to nothing more than newspaper talk."
In reply to the question whether If
such action was taken and the nomlna
tlon offered to him he would accept.
General Stevenson said:
"That Is hardly a fair question to ask
under the circumstances. I have not
been offered the nomination, nor do I
think I will be."
THE CEDAR KEYS STORM.
Jacksonville, Fla., October 2. The re
ports that have been sent out concern
ing the loss of life at Cedar Keys are.
grossly exaggerated. It Is so far pos
itively known that twenty persons have
been drowned ln that vicinity. In ad
dition to this It Is feared the crews
of numerous sponging vessels were lost,
but aa communication Is still Impossi
ble, any statement of the probable num
ber would be the merest guesswork.
In the interior of Florida the destruc
tion of property was very great, but
no loss of life Is reported. (Signed) The
Jacksonville Citizen.
If we were Mr. Bryan we would wor
ry less about our second presidential
term and more about Mr. McKlnley's
present chances. Chicago Record.
