TRENTON. n. J., September 4.-Short'
Iy after IL o'clock to-day fire broke
out in the stables of the Fashion Stud
Farm, owned by Henry Smith, where a
large number OF valuable horses, sul-
keys and large amount of harness
was kept. The fire gained such head
way before the engines arrived that the
building was entirely destroyed, togeth-
er with most of its contents. Eight
horses perished. The following is a
partial list:
Harry B., owned by Budd Doble,
valued at four thousand Colonel T.,
belonging to VIM. Hutchinson, valued
at six thousand. Two fine roadsters,
AnderreIler and Blackshaw maid,
owned by President Grant; Lspiere,
owned by Butterworth Of the Lapiere
House, Philadelphia, valued at seven
thousand five hundred; Ned Perris
mare, Lizzie Perry, and a fine horse
from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Nine
teen horses, valued at a quarter OF
million, have been stabbed at the farm
for some time past. Very luckily
most of them including Goldsmith
Maid, Lucy, Hotspur and Cali
fornia, Mare, were on sthe race
track when the fire originated.
There were also destroyed fourteen
suIkys, each worth 1925; five track
wagons valued at $50; three road
wagons worth eight hundred dollars,
and twenty sets OF harness valued at
800 each. Besides these there were
consumed q large amount OF hay, straw,

sured for $4,000 in the Peoples, OF
Trintou; Standard Frauklin, OF PhiIa-
deIphia, and North America, of Phils|
deiphia, each, holding risk OF $500.
The origin OF the fire is unknown,
but it is thought that spark from

among the hay. The loss exclusive OF
insurance will amount to $4,000.
There were about hundred and twenty

CORRUPTION FUND

" We have the most undoubted au-
thorlty for the reiteration of our asser-
| ton that the whlskey league has con-
tr1buted the largest corruption fund for
| the election of the Reform ticket that If
has ever before raised. 1t is already
busily engaged with the work of can
vasslng IN this city, and nothing that
money can accomplish will be left un-
done TOR bringing out Democratic voters.
Against this sort of work Republicans
have only to oppose their voluntary ef-
forts, and 1t Is certainly to be hoped
that they will not be neglectful of their
duty"
The above we copy from the Sentinel
IN corroboration of which we would
state, that we have seen the effects of the
application of that fund repeatedly in
this county. Not only have we had the
Democratic candidate for State Treasur-
er here, whose electionering expenses
have been guaranteed to him, but we
have now several Democratic emissaries
of different nationalities in our county,
who, known to be personally poor, are
spending money for procuring voters,
with a prodigahty, astonishing even
their own friends, thus showing plainly
that, as the Sentinel says, nothing that
money can accomplish will be left
undone for bringing out Democratic
voters, and against this sol+ of work
Republicans have only to oppose their
voluntary efforts.
Republicans of Manitowoc County
have you seriously considered this all
important subject and acted upon your
conviction, that upon each of you person
ally depends the welfare or the ruin of
your State, and thus of your personal
prospects and interests?
Republicans, there is but little time
now left to work out your own political
salvation if you have not worked be-
fore, do it now, go and see all your
neighbors and friends and pledge them
to meet you at the polls for a good days
success of the Republican nol nations.
Remember that our noble Governor il
savagely assailed by the drunkard makers
the brewers, the. distilIers and their
slaves-the saloon keepers-who form
such a large part, under the name OF
Reformers, of the opposing party, and
have furnished the principal part of their
corruption fund-because he does favor
the execution of our laws even against
saloon keepers remember that our op-
ponents aim their heaviest blows against
him because, if he only is defeated, the
rest of the ticket is of minor considera-
tion, for when the head is cut off, the
body is of little avail.
The Republican ticket is composed OF
men fully capable to fill the offices to
which they are nominated, with honor
to themselves and our party and to the
full satisfaction of their fellow-citizens.
Do not permit any one to mutilate your
ticket, examine it closely to prevent
fraud. Vote early yourselves and get
all you can to vote like you
