A LEAPING QUESTION.
"You often in your speeches chal-
enge your political opponents to
answer cIOBe questions. Uan and
will you before retiring to private
ife tell the dear people who hav so
ong supported you the secret of
serving your country years on a
$5,000 salary, at the same time liv
ing at a $10,000 a year rate, and re
tiring a multi millionaire? It would
be interesting information for the
rising generation even your young
friend W. J Bryan may profit by it
and be an iucentive for others to
emulate your career. The plain peo
ple have for years been wondering
how their self sacrificing public ser
vant, John Sherman, could accumu
late wealth so rapidly, while they,
his constituents, grow poorer each
year. W. O. Munson.'

Cleveland Call. Missouri's Ex-Governor
Into His Cabinet.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 24 Ex
Governor David R. Francis of Mis
souri, will succeed Iloke Smith as
Secretary of the Interior. This
news came tonight from Gray Gables
and with it comes the announcement
that Mr. Francis has accepted the
position and will assume its duties
when Mr. Smith retires next Satur
day. Secretary Smith has long been de
termined to leave the Cabinet. It ia
no secret that he and the other
members of the President's official
family have disagreed as to questions
of party policy. Secretary Smith
announced his intention to support
the nominees of the Chicago conven
tion and this,it is believed is rsspca
siblo for his resignation.
Hoke Smith was the most popular
member of the Cabinet. In leaving
it he carries with him not only the
respect but the admiration and good
will of Mr. Cleveland and his coad
jutors. Mr. Smith's independence
of thought long ago gained him Mr.
Cleveland's confidence and friends
of the administration say tonight
that the President parts with the
Georgia man regretfully. They are
close friends and nothing but
sense that dated pointed different
ways for each would have made the
resignation acceptable.
It is believed here that Governor
Francia will acctpt.
Ex Governor Francis is one of the
best known among Western politi
cians. He has always been a great
admirer of President Cleveland's
administration. Mr. Francis has
practically dictated all the appoint
ments made in the Eastern part of
the state
Mr. Francis has always been ad
vocate of sound money. He has dis
claimed bcin-r a ecld monometaliist
and has 6teadily declined to act with
the radical wing of the gold Demo
crats. He did not sign the call issued
by the gold Democrats of Missouri,
although great pressure was brought
to bear upon him to do so.
Cleveland's Cousin For Bryan.
Buffalo; Aug. 15. Benjamin Fol-
som came out ior uryan ana iree
silver to-day. He is a cousin of
Mrs. Cleveland, and was United
States Consul at Sheffield, England,
under President Cleveland's first
Administration and held over under
President Harrison. Mr. Folsom is
a lawyer, and has business interests
in Nebraska. He says:
"One reason Bryan was nominated
was because of the anti Cleveland
sentiment that prevailed throughout
the West and the South, but the
chief reason he was nominated rather

The Big Boss Assures the Plutoi rats
That it Wili Take Tremendous
Exertions to Win.
New York, Aug. 20 Chairmau
Hauna threw a mighty scare into
the Republican leaders yesterday.
Although he wore a smiling face and
openly said everything was going
well, he brought the news for the
Eastern members of the Executive
Committee that the cutlook for Mc-
Kinley is far from satisfactory.
Mr. Hacna will not for one mom
ent concede defeat in auv of the
States that go to make up the battle
ground, but he told every friend
with whom he talked privately that
the thkot could only be elected by
the most tremendous exertions, con
tinued every day from now until
November 3rd.
The great battle ground, as the
Republicans see it, is compact. It
includes the States of Michigan, Illi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Nebraska and Kentucky.
The roseate reports about Illinois
being solid for McKinley by 80,000
are now conceeded by the Republi
cans to have put out for the benefit
of the marines. Unless the situa
tion changes between now and Oct.
they confess no man will be able to
tell with confidence in his prediction
how Illinois will vote. 1
Mr. Hanna talked plainly to his
confidants. One of them later said
that in Michigan Republican leaders
and newspapers have bolted McKin
ley in favor of free silver. The Re
publicans have no State organization
worthy of the name. So useless is
it that Chairman Hanna is about to
direct his energies to creating some
sort of Republican machine in Mich- j
igan.
In Indiana, too, the Republicans
are all at sea. State Chairman Gowdy
refuses to make any prediction as to
how the State will go.
The Republicans are more hope-!
ful about Iowa, but confess that
Wisconsin and Minnesota will have
to be fought for with great energy.
Ia both States much depends upon
the exertion of the bolting Demo
crats, and the Republicans are using
every energy to keep their lines in
tact and get back the farmers into
the party. It is said that the state
ment of the situation was communi
A. W. Jones of Milo, who has
been polling the vote of that pre

mittee, has not yet completed the
work, but up to this time he has
found 27 republicans who say they
will vote for Bryan and free silver.
Many ef them are outspoken iu this
and declare they will not support
the gold standard. He has sot
found a democrat who will not sup
port the democratic ticket, and says
he is satisfied there is not one in the

One William S Format), with such
strong gold proclivities ihat his con
science would no longer permit him
to sit io the councils of the demo
cratic party of Illinois as a member
of the state committee, resigned.
His resignation was accepted and
no attention was paid him. This
made him mad and to bring himself
into notice he has written aa open
letter assailing Gov. Altgeld's offi
cial record as governor of tie state,
in which he accuses the governor of
high crimes and misdemeanors of
various kinds. If he know all these
things and they are true, why has he
held back the information so long.

this served to increase the bitterness

She was in a more coquettish mood

drove the rivals to desperation.
Finally Page invited Morgan to ac

consented, and as soon as they were

the left hand and fehoot out the
quarrel, the survivor to take the girl.
Morgan agreed, and then with left
