O'DONNELL & CO c An Open Letter to the Farmers Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in Every Respect. j In our long experience in merchandising we have never procured goods in every line more satisfactory with a view to low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North. We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important end to pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to'give our cus? tomers the full benefit of, feeling sure that we could not give more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience the special wants of our farmers, whose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various farmer Alliances, and that our dealings with these gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and were appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in this, and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard earned popularity. Our store is fre? quently literally packed with customers during the busy season; and Ais fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most em? phatically sustains the correctness of our statement. We have not of course the space?to lay before the public all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited portion. Probably much that is omitted will be found even more in? viting.

Notwithstanding the closeness of the vote and the exasperating contrariety of reports from some of the points of great * est interest, one fact is writ Urge aeross . the political map of the Union : Free Stiver is a live issue. Whether Hanna, with his enormous command of boodle and tbe actj^e per? sonal aid of McKinley, shall succeed is retiming to tbe senate by one legisla? tive vote or whether be shall be defeat? ed by one vote cannot affec: :be fact that the practical resalt of the election in Ohio is a Democratic victory. Last year's Republican majority in the State is cot down one-half, and the boas of the Republican party and direotor-in chief of its President mast await the official count to learn of his success or defVat ia a State of wheat and wool. Whether (xor m an shall be defeated for re-election in Maryland by the vote of one county will nos alter the fact that io view of the de**rtion and renegade venom of their ?pri .Q\DZ\ and mos? in?u ential organ, the Baltimore Sun, the Democrats cf Maryland have won a morai victory They can supply the vacant place of Tho Sun and win in 1900 on tbe silver issue. Bryan's State stands to bim and to Silver with an increased majority Yet Nebraska has made scores of millions of ex ira dollars by the rise io wheat and *eo?*ot with :be double advantage to her; farmers that while. they could sell their produis at high pricas they could buy ali things else at low prices. That Ne-, j>raska bas resisted the seductions of the enemy and held to the cause oP silver despite a dazzling remporay prosperity "is p. ooi abundant of the vitality of the issue, the deep conviction which holds u in the popular heart. Io low?, another great beneficiary of the rise io wheat and coro, the Republi? can majority is out dowo folly one-half after a contest waged directly no the silver issac Not only are the Demo? crats there firm in the faith bat (bey . ore gaining recruits. If io States so exceptionally favored for the time as Nebraska and Iowa the gold standard loses groans now it needs no prophetic /isioo ito discern a sweeping trio mph for silver when wheat and eoro shall have dropped to their normal level of gold standard prices. The men who withstand the sophistries of monomet? allism when prosper?os will not yield to them when they take their due share of the general punishment under the gold standard. Kentucky has had another chance and bas reconsidered last November's verdict The/'gold Democrats" have unwisely stood up to be separately counted and their weakness is revealed. Silver g weeps thc State and Watterson will have bia chance to leave tbe "organized knaves" and go with the "organized fools *' In Massachusetts George Fred Wil? liams has ont down the Republican majority vastly and the "gold Demo1 eratic" ticket makes no showing of strength. New York State gives a handsome majority to a judge-who voted for Bryan. In fact, everywhere there is evidence of the staunchness of the silver men and the ebb ofield fanaticism. The battle io New York city, although not nominally fought nat oo the silver issue, was settled at last very ; much on national lines. , Although Tammany avoided the mention of sil? ver in its platform ic nominated no man lor office who did not last year vote for Bryan. On the other band, eveiy Citizens Union and Republican ca-idi date was a goldige The gold or "Ship Democracy" formally nomicated Low and supported him solidly. The World assailed Van Wyck constantly aa the only free silver candidate in the Seid Tbe Sun demanded the election of Tracy as necessary to crush out the silver heresy. The Tribune protes'ed that the election of Low would be a Republi? can victory and that of Van Wyck a hard blow to the gold standard Every gold paper fought Van Wyck The Journal accepted thc issue and rallied the silver men on it Thc combined vote for the gold candidates, Traoy and ?Low. was about 250,000.. The com bined vote for the silver candidates, j Van Wyck and George, was 255,000 ! We are satisfied, as wo indicated before .'he election would be the case, tfeat the irjeotion of national issues into the con test by the Low and Tracy papers cans zed a very great number of Tammany men who had intended voting for the elder George to fall back into line Tho vote young George received wa* from his father's distinctively personal following outside of Tammany. The efforts of the Low managers to make him appear the legatee of Henry George failed utterly because of the declara? tions of the Low press that Low reprs eented Republicanism and tho gold standard. Wherever wc look we see encourage? ment for the cause of silver. The peo? ple are oot fooled by the sham pros perify in the north, nor by the evanes? cent prosperity io the west. They are not satisfied with the fruits of McKin? ley's election. And their disgust will grow vastly before November, 1898. the State. Why take Johnson's Chili & Fever Tonic?

Nov 4.-Assist ant Secretary Yanderlip has returnee from a brief visit to New York where he arranged tor ihe transfer bj the reorganzatioo committee of th* government's share of the purchase price of the Union Pacific railroad Severai of the prominent JNew Yorfe city banks have made applications foi the deposit with them of such amounts of the purchase money as the treasury department may deem necessary, in order that there may be no disturbance of the money market in consequence of the reorganization committee's heavy withdrawals The National City bank will accept $15, 000,000, the Chase National bank, $2.000, the Hanover National bank, ?2,000,000, the National Bank of the Republic. $800.000, and the Ameri can Exchange National and Seaboard National $500,000 each, making a to tal of ?20,800,000* Orher banks will also apply for considerable amounts and furnish the required indemnity bonds should it be deemed neces? sary. The fact, however, that the re? organization committee has decided to make its payments according to the dates fixed by the court instead of paying the whole amount at once, will relieve the situation very ma? terially. According to treasury calculations the exact amount ol the government's share of the purchase money is $58, 448,223 Of this amount $27,236, 512 is principal outstanding ; ?30-, 830,181 interest, due and unpaid, and $381,530 interest accrued but not due. Against this gross sum there is a credit o? $4,537,921, re? presenting the cash in the sinking fund, and ?11,446 being the amount of the interest on the bonds in the sinking fund due Nov. I, making a total credit of ?4,549,368, which, be ing taken lrom the gross amount of the purchase price, leaves a balance ? of $53.898,855. Of this amount $8,- i 084,828, less the amount of cash in | the sinking fnnd, will be due in 15 days after the confirmation ol the sale, ? which is expected to take place wah in the next few days. The second payment will be made 15 days after the first and will aggregate $12,590, 848. The three remaining payments j will te made within 40, 50 and 60 days, respectively, from the date cf the conrirumtion of the sale, and will be for $12,590, ?48 each The amount of government bonds issued in aid of the Pacific railroads, which mature on Jan 1, next, is $29,904,952, as follows : Central Pacific, $10 614,120 ; Union Pacific, $ 15,919,512 ; Kansas Pacific, $1,432,000 ; Central branch.

What Mr. Bryan Sees in Tuesday's Election. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.-Mr. Bryao to-day gave ont the following state? ment : To the Associated Press : The returns are so incomplete that it is impossible to discuss yesterday's election io detail. The Republicans everywhere endorsed the Republican administration and in view of losses" sustained by them inaloBoet every State, it would seem that Republican politics are not being endorsed at the polls. The sentiment in favor ot the Chicago platform shows a healthy growth throughout the country, perhaps our opponent? wi'l now admit that silver is not dean The attempt to secure ioter national bimetallism has proved a fail? ure, and it is now more anparent than pver that the people of the United Staip? roust legislate for i hempel vf 6 on the financial question. Free and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1 is nearer now than it was a year ago High tariff upon a gold basis ha3 dis? appointed those Republicans who look to it for relief. Taken a* a whole the returns are very encouraging. I think I voice the sentiment* of Democrats, Populists and Si'vrr Republicans when I i-ay the fight will be continued with cvt-n more earnestness until the gold monopoly is broken and the money trust is ?over their own. The fusion forces increase tocir percentage in Ne? braska and probably tVir actual major? ity. W*. J. BRYAS.
