C., Oct. 18 Thero has been a change in the manage ment of the sick room at the white house. The trained nurse remains on night duty bat tho place of Mes, Dimmick, the president’s ueice, has been taken by Mrs, Newcomer of Tadianapolis, whose husband was for many Wasnisaroy Bureav or Tae Bre, % yeurs the Harrison family physician, ana M MeKee wil tako a little rest while Mrs, Newcomer remains, Mrs, Dimmick is quite worn out with watch- ing, while Mrs. Mcl{eo finds her strength giving way under the strain upon it. Mrs, Dimmick has gone to her home on P stroet. It is expected that Judge Scott of Port Townsond, Mrs, Harrisou's oaly brother, will come to Washington in a fow days. Mrs. Harrison slept a groat deallastnight, but she woke this morning in a very norvous condition, and her state is not 8o favorable as it was vesterdey. In view of Mrs. Har- risou’s condition, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Ha rison abandoned thelr proposed trip to Chi- cago to attend the dedication oxercises, “Ihere was n rumor at ono time today that Mrs. Harrison's condition was more sericus than it had veen, and anxious lnquiries were made early this morning by members of the cabinet who had mado arrangements to go to Chicago but who would havo abavdoned the trip. The rumor was found to be unfounded and all the mewbers of the cabinet except Mr. Etkins went to Chicago, Mrs. Miller did not accompany the attoroey general, as sno desired to entertain Mrs, Newcomer du.r- ing ler stay here. Mrs. Russell Hurrison is doing ner share of the watching at Mrs. Har- rison’s bedside now. Mr. Russeil Harrison sprained his foot yesterday uand is confined to the bouse. It was stated this evening at the white houso that Mrs. Harrison's condi- tion was unchanged, Ste is resting quietly but is very weak. Some Interest npariso George O. Jones expects to leave Washing- ton tomorrow, and will probably bo in Indi- apapolis Thursday at the Denison house. From Indianu he expects to go west, aud will probavly e in Lincoln Monday and go thence to Des Moines, Mr. Jones hus been compiling some statistics for the delectution of the silver men aud greoubackers which ought to prove vastly intercsting to them. They show, for ample, that tne average price of silver under tha Clevelana administration was 062 cents per ounce, and during the three years of Harrison's administration 05% cents. The wheat from the Unitod Staies under Cleveland uveraged Si% conts per bushel, and under Harrison ceats. According to unauestiouable figares the yearly loss under Mr. Clevelana’s aaministration, cowm- pared with tho preceding twelve years, was 2600,000,000 per year, aud ¢ od with tho threo years under Harvison's was 145, 000,000 per yoar.

An attempt “was made to consider the electrician ordinance. wh is in commitvee of the whole, but ad jourament prevented its consideration. Mayor Bemis vetoed the resclution order- ing permanent sidowalks on Joues street, for the reason that the property along which it was nroposed to lay the walks was outside of tue old fire himits, and for that roason the property owners had the right to lay orick o tile. The veto was sustained, The mayor also withheld his approval on tho resolution to fill a washout at Sixth and Morcer streets. His objection was that thero was no such stret intersection il tho city. The council so decided ana held with the mayor, Final curbing, paving, sewer and grading estimates, aggregating £5,000, were allowed and the several amounts ordered placed on the appropriation sheet. The money to pay theso estimates comes from the proceeds of the sale of the short time street improve- .ment bouds. Comptroller Olsen served notice tbat tho street commissioner’s fund was exhausted. He suggested that the sum of 3,000 be taken from the road fund and placed in tho street commissioner’s fund and that that amount of money run the department during the balance of the fiscal year. This wont to the finance committee, City Treasurer Bolln notitied the council that he hid received 810,031 of the road fund from the county treasurer and tha' the amount had been placed in the city general fund Viola M. uer §1,000 Petty askod that the city give and Mrs. C.

Her four presidential electors will vots for Harrison and Reid. Her two congrassmen will be re- publican, as now. Ia all human probabihity all of her state oficers will be repuvlican when the vote is counted on the Sth of next month, I came into South Dakota a few days ago expocting to flad a political contest which was doubtful in its result. Se much had been sont east by letter and wire about the fusion batween tho democrats ana populists in this stata and the mixed condition of affuirs from various causes, that naturally I anticipated & hard fight for the republicans, and probable defeat. The ulliance two years ago electod thirty-nine membars of the lezislature, the democrats twenty-five and the republicans eighty-one. These figures represent the men who stood straight-out for the parties they representod. Thea there were enough republicans in reality, but who acted in a frittering manner, 'o swell the number on Joint ballot to 160, In other words thers were twenty-four independent republicans when it came to the election ot a Urited States seaator to succeya Senator Moody. At no time during the ballot for senator did the republicans show up more than eighty- four steady, straight-out partisans, The re sult was the elaction of a hybred, an inde- vendent, Kyle. Tn that same year, 180), whou the inde- pendents succoeded in controlling tue legis- lature by a fusion with the democrats, the republicans elected Governor Milletto by a plurality of 9,805, and they elected the balance of the state ticket by about the same plurality. It thus appears that South Dakota, 10 its worst year., still remained truo to its traditions by agood big margin. A vear be- fore, when the stato held 1ts first elention, Meliotte was clected gavernor by o majority of 30,124, What Figures Pro The fear that South Dakota might pos- sibly chcose independent presidential elect- ors has beea based solely upoa the voto of Lwo vears azo, when the allizucs was at 1ts zevith. In that year tne allianca cast a tot of 24,501 votes, the democrats 15,431 and t republicans republican pluralit 0,8 It nowledged by even the stanchest independent this year that the allianco is not mear so trong politically as it was two years ago. This was demonstrated when both the alli- ance and democratic managemeats sought one the other forfusion purposos, and when the conferenceof these leaders was held at Huron a few days ago it was openly stated that without alliance or fusion and a solid phalanx ugainst the ropablican ticket thera was no hopo of anti-republicun success, That fusion failed, ‘Lhere are now threo distinet tickets in the tield. Each is hostilo 10 the other and it is asquave-toed triangular contest, If it was granted for the sake of argument that the alliance or independents and democrats were as stroug us Lwo years ago, where would the danger now come into the situation for either the state or electoral ticket! Both are absolutely safe. Governor Mellette, who bas just returned from a specch-making tour of tne state and who is one_of the most skiliful republicans in South Dakota, having been governor of the combined Dakotas and twice clected to the Soutk Dakota governorship, said toaay: I'he alliance as a political organization saw its best days at tho olection Lwo year: ‘Then the managers. who are simpl; seeiing tho spoils of oflice and have done nothing for their people 1n & material way, succeeded in Keeping the membors of tasir order wway from all political meetings other than their own, They even succeoded in keeping out of the alliance homes all litera- turo except that which was printed by divec- tion of the mauagars, The members of the alliance wera blind _aud deaf to all other in- formatioy than that which ocams from the alliadce organs und orators, The day or night before the clection tne members of the allianco were summoned iuto their lodzes and took anoath to vote the ticket their leadors had promulgated. During that cam- paign there were men, trusty and slick of tonzue, Who were sont to all the republt mectings for the purpose of breaking the force of our, speakers. They woula get up every fow ‘minutes and ask quostions and raise contentions. ‘They were present to frustrate every oue of our points of speech. Winning Baes the Farmers, “During th Governor Me uudiences present campaign,” continued tte, *We have hal amonzour members of the alliance 1udis. criminately. They buve beea attentive audic tors. Of course the alliance is founded and based upon republicans.

At halt past 7 fortysix of the club paraged the stroets with the Sutto: German band. The opera house was fairly woll filled whon Mr. Bryan was inttoduced by President Bed- ford Brown after songs by the Hickory Gleo club, In beginning Bryan statod that he would not atempt to discuss state issues, but would talk abont aistrict affairs. JIhen he bewan an eulogy on McKeighan, particularly ou his **brillispt” record in the house. The speaker stated that whiie he called himself a democrat and McKoighan was aa 1nde- pendent on all issues, there was no essential difference botween the two except in_name. He evideutly considered that McKeighan was as good a democrat as could be desired. ‘Then he turned his attention to the silver ques- tion, making his usuai&peech on that subject. It was noticed that this portion of his speech was not groeted by the same en- thusiasm which clharacterized his intro- auction and opening sentences. He left the impression that tneouly two parties before the American peoplo were the republican and anti-republican factions. His tariff talk was by far the most lengthy part of the speech ranning 1o the usual line. Shortly after ho vegan, McKeighan and some of his indepenaent friends came iuto the nall, the independent congressman taking a seat on the stage. Bryan stopped short: “My friends itis a little embarrassing to talk tariff in the presence of Mr. McKoighan," ‘Then the crowd whooped, but McKeighan's appearance on the stage at ademocratio meeting was a little incongruou- considering bis very positive statement at Sutton that he was a populist and a Weaver man, Melitizhan was loudly called for and he vroceeded to feed Bryan ou taffy very similar to that given him a while before. He simply said that ‘be bad be:n given much pleasire by listoning to the speech of his colleague, and got bebind the haystack onco more, Then the crowd dispersed without the formality of a clpsing speech by tho chairman, while the myfiad strains of one of the bands came up from the saloon benecath, IT WAS TO TIIE POINT, thuslastic Republieans Listen to a Speech by John R, Hayes, Waxxe, Neb, Ogt. 18.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bre.]--One of the most enthusiastic ropublican meetings that has occurred in Wayne county during the campaign took vlace at Carroll last evening.

The spegker proseuted his arguments 1 such a clear and forcible manner that ho was fre- quently intexruptod with applause. Miy ad- dross was devotedt Inrgely to tho tariff aud the prosperity bf the gatldn as a result of the American pokicy of protection. The platform of the people’s party was riddled, special attention being given to that portion of tho platform where 1t states “wo are on '.h? verge of moral, political and national ruin,” At the conciusion of his adaress there was tremondous upplause, J.

Since my interview with your committee further reflaction and careful at- tention to the acgumants on both sides inthe current public discussion have contirmed my belef in the wisdom of the republican dec- lacations, as well as in the lucid candor with which they have been presented. rarty “The party platforms—so called- -are moro fnportunt this year than vsual. Hoth the leading candidates have onco commanaed the approval of the American paople in its high- est form of oxpression. Attention is there- fore concentrated less on the men themselves and more on the principles each is put for- ward to represent, and which, in case of election, they will be required to carry out. ““T'he declarations of our opponenats de- mand a still closer scrutiny, since their vie- tory now would give them tho first oppor- tunity they have had_sinco 1339 to put in practice their policy. Never since that date have they had control atouce bothin the executive and legislativo departments of the government. This year the eclection of a presid nt clearly carvies with it majorities in both houses of congres *It 1 obvious that, in the coming judgment of the people in all parts of the country. the reallv vital issues which will this year di vide parties and domand popular decision, are those relating to the tariff and the cur: rency. Fortunately both sides have stated their posotions on these subjects with diveet- ness, simplicity and frankness. “The 1ssues thus made between the rival candidates for the people's suffrage are specially saarp this election, “We favor a protective tariff, and when in full power, made the prasentone. Our op- ponents favor a tariff for revenue only, and promise the repeal of the present one, “\WWe maintain that the tarift should cover tho differences in the cost of home and for- cign product caused by the difference in the home and forelgn wages for the | ployed upon it. Our opponents distinetl pudiated the proposition that American wagos should be considered in the matter and declared instead that a tariff levied for anything but revenuc only was unconstitu- tional. As the Londou Times, ou September 25, vary naturally remarked: “I'nis policy if fairly and lozically carried out, s not to bo distingmshed from free trade in the polit- ical form in which we are familiar with “If protective duties are unconstitutional, as was asserted Chicago, no financial legerdemafn can produce any othor ‘rea justment’ then that which would naturally foliow the remedial of ail imports tending to bolster up particular brauches of industry and commerce.
