Prom our Reu!r lrrtpondnt, Washington, Oct. 26 The inarch of McKinley and Hobart to victory has Uh ii as steady and sure as that of Na-l-olcous Old Guard in the day when ii knew no defeat. It has gone on i.-oui day to day since the cauiiaiu .end; there has been n6 ualtiug, ;.. iiitnimn no .retreating. There h.i been but one cry, "On to Victory " Each week the extent of that victory ! had to be enlarged by the conser vative men who have managed this great campaign, lnnsause they decided j ;a the beginning to claim no State rmjil ntwntplv eertain that the vote! if that State would back up the claim in ide. The first announcement of the -tainty of th? election of McKinley uul Hobart. the consequent triumph f houest money and the eight to earn :? y honest toil, and ne maintenance 'our National honor, only claimed -0 electoral votet, just' 46 more than the number necessary to elect; a little after the report received by the Re publican managers justified raising the laim to S?2 vote?, and dow the situa tion jiutific the claim of 82 certain tain electoral votes, with a probability of 4 t additional vote In ctbe words there are only TS electoral votn that are certain for Bryan. This last claim i made by Vice-Chairman Apsley, of the. Republican Congressional Com mittee, the man who while occupying the same position two years ago called the turn on the Republican landslide iu the Congressional election in a !uanr that Mirp risked the couutry acd showed that bis figures were PKOTECTIOX 1 HICKORY, NORTH back by actual information. The same gentleman now says that infor mation received since Chairman Bab cock recently made his claim for 1M Republicans ; members of the next House justifies his claiming 224. It is the general impression In Wash ington that McKinley and Hobart will receive the largest majority of the popular rote ever cast for a 'Presiden tial ticket, and not a few men are pre dicting phenomenal majorities 'In States considered doubtful a month ago. , Secretary Mercer, of the Republican Congressional Committee J will this week go home and will remain In Ne braska until after election .day, Mr. Mercer is not going because he regards his presence in the District is necessary to his re-election to Congress he Is already certain of that but merely because his work in Washington is completed and he wishes to add his vote to the majority that Nebraska is going to give McKinley and Hobart. , Maj. Saunders, of Louisville, Ky., now visiting in Washington is of the opinion that the insults given to Sec: retary Carlisle will do Bryan, great injury. He said on the subject: "Most undoubtedly the effect of the ruffianly treatment of Secretary Carlisle will be to weaken Bryan. Tuere - is not a community in Kentucky in which the people will not resent the indignity offered Mr. Carlisle. It was an out' rage .of an unpardonable sort, and I have no doubt that the insult was de libera tely planned." - - A'speeial report from the . State De partment,1 on the currency-system of the world's greatest-nations and their relations to prices of all sorts of com modities, including human labor, is important; timely and highly instruc tive. It shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that fluctuating standards cause the greatest loss to toi'ers; also that iu every country which has a gold standard, the tendency of wages has been steadily upward and the cost of living has been . just as " steadily .es sened, while exaJctly the reverse Is true of the countries that are upon, a silver has. s. In Mexico about the only peo pie who receive what would be called fairly good wages in this country are those who are specially skilled in the mechanical branches, and most of them are natives of the "United States. These are cold, hard facts which can not be refuted by the silver, rainbow chasers. The United States Is not ex empt and cannot by legislation be ex empted from the inexorable rules of business and con msree. If placed up on a silver 'basis it could not expect that its experience would differ from other countries which have tried and are trying that basis. : : It i not an easy matter for a man who has often been licked by -another man to keep his nerve up when he knows 'that he' has ot-to fight that man again and get another licking. That Isju?t the condition of the Pop oeratic managers.

SeaatarlaM Slfnotlaa AtiA2TTA, Ga., Oct. 23. Charles P. Crisp, ex-Speaker of the . House of Representatives, dle here this after noon. The end came at 1:45 o'clock, Mr. Crisp had been an Inmate of the sanitarium of Dr. Holmes, of this city, for several weeks. His conditfpn had been reported as very low, but no fatal conclusion to his illness had been ex pected so soon. : When a rumor got abroad several days ago that he was sinking it was vigorously denied, at the sanitarium, where it was given out that. he was getting better. - ' Mr. Crisp had been' in intense pain all day. Every few minutes he would suffer greatly. But - no "danger was feared at such an airly moment. ; His wife; together with a sanitarium nurse Miss Sharp, was watching at his bed side. It was after 1 o'clock that Mr. Crisp was feeized with another attack. The watchers saw it and sent down stairs for Dr. Holmes, Judge Crisp's two daughters, Mrs. Fred Davenport and Miss Bertha Crisp, and his two sons, Mr. Charles P. Crisp, jr., and. Mr. Fred Crisp, were at the Ballard House on Peachtrve street. They were quickly summoned.- When they entered the room Judge Crisp was still conscious. He gave them a look of recognition, breathed a few times, and died. He could not speak. So quick ly had the dread messenger come that the stricken family stood appalled iu the death chamber. Mr. Crisp's death, while apparently thus so sudden, was not unexpected by the physicians who have been watching his health. He had been declinining tor several years. His last illuess, however, was immediately oc casioned by an attack of malarial fever which he contracted at his home. Americus, a few weeks ago, but which itself yielded to treatment when he came to Atlanta. He was considered convalescent, and only last Sunday had ridden out. But when renewed health seemed within view lie was at tacked by congestion of the lungs, which, added to the weakness of the lungs and heart, caui by the pre vious attacks of pleuro puaumonia. ' Dr. J. B.-S. Holmes, director of th Halcyon Sanitarium, mrule the follow ing statement of his illnes' und the manner of the end: V "Judge Crisp had been in ill health for the past six or eighC months. He had beeu buffering for two of three years with inters p.Ju. coming ut intervals in the chest. H- had tvo attaea ff pneuiuouia.. otie ilxut four years ago and thn cth-r jitx.ut two years ago.

He continued t have the iuoiynji PROSPERITY I OCTOBER 29, 1896. until 1:45 this afternoon when he sud denly expired, probably from rupture of the heart, as the result of fatty de generation." The body of the distinguished Geor gian will be removed to morrow morn lug from the sanitarium to the State Capitol, where it will lie In state until 750 o'clock Sunday morning, at which hdur it will be transferred to a train, and porn under appropriate escort to America. Mr. Crisp's home, where the funeral will take place Sunday after noon at 3:30 o'clock. Honors befit ing the high stations lir. Crisp has occupied In the State and the nation will , undoubtedly be paid his memory by the General Assembly, which meets next Wednesday. Mr Crisp was the choice of the Democrats of Georgia to succeed Senator John B. Gordon in the United State Senate and would have been chosen to that position by the Legis lature at its approaching session had he lived. a - : His untimely death throws the political situation Into chaos, and makes the choice of Senator a matter of great uncertainty. The Legislature is almost unanimously for free silver however, and whoever is named will be an advocate of that policy. Gov. W. Y. Atkinson, who lias just been re elected "Chief Executive of Georgia for a term of two years, is prominently mentioned as" successor to the Senatorial .seat, 'which would have been Mr. Crisp's had he survived.' Should he enter and be elected there would probably be a contest for the Governoiijip between Hon. Rotert L. Berner, and Hon. A. 8. Clay. chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee. Gov. Atkinson's choice aer Senator would render necessary a special election for Governor. Gov. Atkinson heard the news ; of Mr. 'Crisp'a detth at the executive office, and immediately ordered the Georgia flag over th lowered at half, mast, He said: "Mr. Crisp's dtath is particularly a calamity just at this time. He had attained a position where be was not only one of the most valuable men in our State.but was a national character of which Americans were proud, I re garded him as the most conspicuous man before the nation of all Southern men. His position as Speaker of the House had brought him more promi nently before the country than any other Southern man, and the magnifi cent abllit which lie displayed in sustaining himself as a , leader there made much Impress upon the whole country to such an extent that he was regarded. everyw here as one of the enormous men of Georgia. 1 l,Perwnall be was one of the most lovable of men. and outside of the' loss to the public, his death will be a per sonal grief to thousands of his fellow connt ry-men.

Although he had filled th highest position given to a Geor gian In the national councils since the days of Howell Cobb, he especially de ?irtd a wit in the Senate, and his re fasai to accept the appointment t-ndeid him by Gov orthen was the clearest proof of his unselfish pa trio ism.

The Republicans are greatly encouraged by the practical help given to the State Central Com mittee in the way of money contribu tions and by the enthusiasm shown in various sections. In the early days of the campaign In southern California seemed to have lost their senses and gone off on a wild Bryan tangent. Re-' publican orators and demonstrations were coldly treated and it looked for a while as If the south would give a Democratic majority. This was discouraging and for a time the cause languished, but the passed gradually "gained headway; Then some good eastern blood and el- uence were introduced, which added to thejr teal. Within the past few weeks splendid work has been done and now Southern California Is regard ed as safe for McKinley. V The Republicans have also been buoyed up by the news from across the Rockies which Insures the election of McKinley., This has had a wonder ful effect on doubtful vntr eKs s.- - . m u V MA J decided to get on the winning side.
