Politicians consider the announcement that the republicans and the gold Demo- crabs are to work together in several the Southern States an important one, although few of them go so lar as to be lieve that it will result in giving the elec toral vote oi any ate to the gold Dem ocrats, but it may help the Republicans. It is claimed by some of those who have been instrumental iu arranging this fus ion, that the gold Democrats of Alabama tflfSV the ;ntir Ilftunbliran vote and if tl-ey caa get the votes counted, and if the silver Democrats and Populists fail to fuse. It will bo noted that there are several important "ifs" in that claim, not to mention that it is ridiculed by the silver Dtinotrats who say that the number of gold Democrats in that and ia all the other Southern States, has been greatly exag gerated.

In polities everything depends upon which side doesja thing. When Mr. Bryan came to Washington to make a speech, the Republicans made fun of him. saying that it was a waste of lime for him to -peak in the District of Columbia where there WaS no voting. Now ihtse same Republicans are preparing to do the very -anie thing, and ipe shaking hands with '-at h ot her and juhil.,'ii.g generally be c ii.-e S.,t: -k'.-r R'td und Representative Lot an. ot At try .ami, iteeiiver ot the ti. ci.

Il is i i.itt iiiio..U:i ipeaket'S are being mls'reated and otherwise inti midated in various poi ti, iis of Virginia, and the Po-t Master at Joucsville, in that State, is i lunged with having suppressed eampaigu literature mailed from Wash ington, and with having assaulted the man who found it out and confronted him with the accusation. Charges have been filed with the Postmaster General against this Post Master, and there is mueh interest in the disposition of those charges by the Post Office Department. If there were any doubt that Mr. Bryan was personally boss'mg his campaign the withdrawal of Senator Hill's candidate for the Governship of New York ought to remove it. As soon as Mr. Thacher's letter repudiating the Chicago platform was made public, Mr. Bryan positively stated that he should come off the Demo cratic ticket. Those who believed that Senator Dill was all powerful with the Democratic machine in New York said that Mr, Bryan had made a break; that Thacher was Hill's man and that Hill would not allow him to be taken off the ticket. Mr. Bryan went to New York, and Thacher has takau himself off the ticket. Some people think that Hill will resent this inteift-rencc by coming out for Palmer and Buckner. The Bryan people iu Washington say it deesn't matter what Hill does; that the result in New York is already practically settled and that Hill has lost w imtever influence he way have had outside ol that state. The Bryan and the McKinley managers continue to do some still' claiming lor their respi ctive candidatis, but il thc-y have no better loundation lor the claims they make than the letters from individu als in the several States which the' make i public, it is a little better than a question ever, anywhere in the neighborhood of what the actual vote of that State turns out to i e. It is altogether probable that both sides havejmade pobs of every doubtful State, and have found so many voters uncommitted that they do not dare to make public the rtsult' of those polls. It is known that there are a large number of voters - sceirbngly grow ing larger at each election who do not connect them selves with any party autl who elo not tell anybody m-v." tiny are going to vote. Tins is the element which has brought about the politic d turpri-es and landslides of the Presidential and Congressional elections eif the past twelve years. They can't be located in advance by the politi cians. Bucklen'e Arnica Salve.
