Robbers broke into the Amsterdam bank building on last Saturday night and demolished the iron door leading into the vault.

They were not heard and of course the time of night they oper- ated is not known. Graham's store was burglarized the same night of about $100, and it is supposed by the same parties.

Jones stood for prin- ciples opposed to the republican party. He wasagainst the Philip- pine question and against Hanna, the administration's chief representa- tive in the state. McLean, of course, was hostile to the republican party. The people who voted for Jones and MeLean voted against the ideas rep- resented by the republicans, and it seems,” said the senator, “that the voters who were thus antagonistic outnumbered by 50,000 those who favored the President. “believe that there would been a still larger anti-republican vote against the subjugation of the 10.—Senator voters. have ion ated Filipinos and the forcible annex. of the island, if it had not beer by the his western speeches and repeated by Republican orators in Obio, that the President proposed to leave the Philippine ques- tion to Congress.

Chicago, II, Nov. 10.—A lively skirmish for the minority leadership in the house of representatives of the next congress is looked for when the members of the executive committee of the democratic national commit- tee, together with leading democrats of the western and central states, meet in Chicago Nov. 20 to discuss the leadership and plans for the pres- idential campaign. Friends of Con- gressman D.A. DeArmond of Mis- souri, will be herein large numbers to urge the selection of their favorite, and the claims of James D.

During the Ohio campaign, Mark Hanna figured that Jones would get 75 percent of his support from the democrats. Admitting that Mark was right, what does the result in Ohio fore- show for the presidential election in 1900? It is not probable that Jones will bea candidate for president, there- fore 75 per cent of his vote may be counted for Bryan. Now, Jones received 110,000 votes at therecent election. McLean, 301,- 000 and Nash 345,000, If Hanna is right in his estimate, Bryan will re- ceive 80,000 of the Jones vote, while McKinley will get 30,000 Adding 80,000 votes to MeLean’s 301,000, will give Bryan in 1900 not 381,000. Adding to the 445,000 votes cast for Nash, the 30,000 republican votes for Jones will give MeKinley 375,000 votes. Thus Bryan will come out of the contest, with 6,000 majority over McKinley Either Mark Hanna has. made a mistake in bis figures or the demo- cratic prospects for victory in Ohio at the next presidential election are particularly bright.—Chicago Demo- erat. less than Gen.
