THE democrats are feeling very bad
because the republican procession last
Friday evening numbered but seventy
five less than the democratic, and conse-
quently they are circulating all sorts OF
absurd stories, one Of which is that the
republicans hired democrats at so cents a
head to carry torches. IF the opposition
does not entertain higher opinion OF
their voters than that they can be bought
for so cents, we should say that it is not
in good taste to proclaim it on the streets,
as a few of the unterrifed are doing.
The fact of the matter is that the repub-
ican procession, which numbered about
125, was composed of simon-pure repub-
licans who marched in the line from a
sense of duty only.

THE democrats in order to make any
thing of show last Friday night were
obliged to 60 among their brethren
and urge them to come out A commit
tee appointed for this purpose approach
ed one of our oldest settlers who pays
very little attention to politics and votes
the republican ticket as often as he does
any other, and asked him if he would not
take position in the line among the old
settlers. He asked the committee if he
could have his choice. Certainly said they.
Then if you would give me my choice be-
tween robbing hen roost or marching
with you think would prefer to go for
the hen roost. The committee sneaked
out of the door. The old settler did not
appear in the procession, it is hardly
necessary to say.

"plan'' so-called is the silliest nonsense.
The order for the removal of the sale of
stamps came from the Supervisor OF In
ternal revenue, and neither Mr.. Caswell
or any other republican here knew any
thing of the order until it had been issu-
ed. After the stamps had been sent to
Madison in compliance with the order,
however, Mr. Caswell was asked to use
his influence at Washington to have
stamps again sold by DeputyCollector Che
ney through numerously signed petition,
which bore the signatures of democrats
and republicans alike. In doing his best to
bring about the desired result he did but
his duty to his constituents in Water
town. He could not have doneless with
out being unmindful of the wishes of his
petitioners If he asked vote in con-
sideration of doing what was his plain
and simple duty, the proposition was no
doubt Indignantly spurned, as indeed it
ought to have been. The class of men to
whom the Banner refers are not among
those who barter their right of franchise.
They are among our most prominent cit
liens, and they feel justly indignant at
the Banners dastardly attack.
Now for the real reason whv democrats
here voted for Mr.. Caswell two years ago.
The Germans of Watertown to very
large extent vote the democratic ticket.
Though democrats, they were not strong
partizans enough two and three years ago
to follow their party when it advocated
soft money heresies. Mallory received
the lightest democratic vote polled IN
Waterfowl for years at a state election.
The platform on which the opponent OF
Mr. Caswell ran two years ago was SINH
lar to the one on which Mallory was
beaten the year before, and the demo-
Gratis of this city would not stultify them
selves by endorsing soft money principles,
which they would have done had they
voted for their party nominee.

THE POSITION.

Two years ago the votes of democrats in Water
town were secured for the republican candidate
for congress in a manner that was more than
s'child-like and bland and which would make
the exploits of the tricky, heather Chinee sink
into utter lnSigniticance when compared with
his efforts. The plan was cOncOcted by the re-
publicans. and with the assistance Of some trait
OrOuS democrats was successfully carried out. Ii
was simply this: For some years deputy rev.
enue officer has been stationed in WatertOWn for
the purpose of accommodating the brewers and
cigar manufacturers so they could procure rev
enue stamps without the delay, expense and an
noyance of going, or sending to Madison and
which would make thousands of dollars differ
ence yearly in their expenses. The plan was to
take up this Office, and it was done. This was
part first of the plan and it worked charmingly.
The manufacturers, who were all denO cratS, and
who employed in the aggregate some 500 men,
complained bitterly Of his action, and after the
ANNOYANCE had lasted long enough to ripen the
plot, the oil upon the troubled waters appeared
in the person of the republican candidate for
congress. He commiSerated the manufacturers
upon the injustice being done them, assured
them he was willing to do all in his power to aid
them in securing the return of the office, but
which he thought would require hard work and
importantly to bring about, and of course he
should expect they would assist him in return
with their influence in the approaching election.
He went to work and strange to relate, in three
days time the hard job was accomplished The
reader will bear in mind that republican ofncis Is
had control Of this matter and all that was need
ed was the word of the republican candidate
that II was time TO restore the once ana IL was

extent of the gratitude of the manufacturers to-
ward the man who had thus unWorthily schemed
to gain their gratitude He received in the
democratic city of WatertoWn 500 more votes
then ever before.giYen him. The effort is now
being made to secure this vote for the republi-
can candidate this fall, and we understand
threats have been made that the revenue. office
will again be removed unless this large vote is
given him.-JefersOn Bdnnof.
The above is about as near the truth as
the Banner usually gets. 1t is perhaps
not within our province to fly to the res
cue of democrats when assailed by their
brethren, but the article of the Banner Is
so manifestly unjust, we cannot refrain
from saying few words. The Banner
charges, by implication at least, that
there was bargain and sale between Mr..
Caswell and the cigar manufacturers and
brewers ofthis city, through which the
former received the votes and political
influence of the latter; that "plan'
was concocted to first remove the sale OF
stamps from here, and then restore it after
a certain result had been achieved, The

4 KNOWNOTHING CANDIDATE

A research into the political life ofJared
c. Gregory, the present democratic can
didate for congress from this district re-
veals the fact that in 1856 he was the
candidate of the Know Nothing or Amer
lean party for congressman in the ninth
district of New York, comprising the
counties of Delaware and Otsego, but was
defeated by his republican opponent.
Mr.. Gregory having an itching for con-
eressional honors is once more before the
people for their suffrages, this time, how
ever, the representative of the democratic
party which embraces within it a large
portion of the foreign vote, and the Ger
mans and Irishmen Of this district are
expected to become the instruments Of
their own degradation by voting for a
man who would have denied them all
the political rights and privileges they
now enjoy. We very much mistake the
temper and feeling Of many of the foreign
born voters of this district if when the
proper time arrives they do not spurn
and openly repudiate the democratic cam
didate and by their courage and independ-
ent action show to the party managers
that they are capable of resenting fla
grant insult offered them, and will not
indorse a candidate unworthy Of their
support simply because he is labeled
regular nominee"

STATE elections were held yesterday

STATE elections were held yesterday
in the states of Ohio. Indiana and West
Virginia. The returns received this
"wednesday morning are of the most
ENCOURAGING character. The republicans
have made immense gains everywhere.
Porter, the republican candidate for
governor in Indiana, is elected by 1000 or
5000 plurality, and the rest of the ticket
by something less. Indiana went demo
cratic two years ago by plurality Of TO-
900. She may now be expected to take
her place in line in November for the
union and against rebel supremacy.
The result in Ohio is more than satisfac-
tory. The republican plurality is placed
as high as 1000, which is 10000 more
than she, gave two years ago. A gain Of
three congressman Is certain, and an ID
crease of five is probable. Ohio viii roll
up an immense majority for God and Gar
Eeld next month.
West Virginia, being q part Of the solid
south, went democratic Of course, but
large republican gains are reported from
that state even.

GRANT ON HANCOCK.

On the Dist Of Sept there took place
a notable interview between Gen. Grant
and Rev. G.. II. Fowler in which Gen
Grant exposes the pro-rebel sympathies Of
Gen. Hancock while i'll command Of the
militia department Of Louisiana and Texas
in 1867. The conversation between these
two men is the political sensation of the
period Grant was in position to know
whereof he speaks, and it is the most
damaging revelation that the Superb
has had to contend with. The EXPIRE
sident said that Gen. Hancock has had
the presidential E'bee in his bonnet since
1864, and has shaped everything to gain
democratic southern favor since that time
He says Hancock is vain, ambitious
and weak man who will. if elected Presi-
dent easily be controlled by the southern
wing Of the democracy. He gives the
inside history Of the famous order No. 40
and openly accuses Hancock with cor
rupt intentions while in command at
New Orleans, as well as being more de-
sirous Of playing into rebel hands than OF
enforcing the reconstruction acts of con-
gress. Gen. Grant says: "That
Order No. 40 resulted in the loss Of many
lives. [ know of cases, and can give
them. His statement that the civil au-
thorities are supreme, is truth admitted
by all in time of established peace; but
can demonstrate that he did not subject
the military power to the civil but that
he used his military power to overthrow
the civil At his own request Hancock
was relieved by Andrew Johnson, but not
until he had made himself solid with the
rebel portion of the democracy which was
necessary to make him an available can
didate for the presidency.
Gen. Grant is receiving all manner Of
abuse from democratic newspapers and ora
tors for exposure the scheming Hancock,
but he is used to their billings gate and il
doesnot annoy him. General Hancock now
accuses General Grant of "unsolGierly
conduct" for having thus plainly ex-
pressed himself in reference to brother

IT Is well known that the Milwaukee
Sentinel goes into spasms every now
and then over the senatorial question;
also that it takes every occasion to say
that neither Reyes or Sawyer are fit men
to send to the United States Senate.
These periodical attacks will become
more frequent as the time draws nigh for
the election Of senator. Last
Thursday the Sentinel had lengthy
article on it's favorite theme, the sub
stance Of which was suggested to it by a
letter which purports to come from Wat
ertown and signed by an "unmuzzled re-
publican" We mistrust that the letter
was written in The Sentinel office,
and never saw Watertown until it
appeared in print Be this as it may,
the evident intent of the writer was to
belittle the standing of the two leading
candidates for the u S. Senate The Re-
PUBLICAN would inform The Sentinel
that in this the writer does not reflect the
sentiments of the republicans generally
in WATERFOWL. There is no feeling here
on the senatorial question one way or
another-no pronounced sentiment for OF
against any man. We think it is the dis

Rare American Coins.

Said Mr.. E. F. Gambs, a St. Louis
numismatist, to Chronicle reporter:
Those who have a weakness for col
Letting old and rare coins are generally
men of wealth who indulge in it as a
pleasant pastime. They can afford to
pay handsome prices for rareties and
become amateur numismatists. The
principal coin center of the United
States is Philadelphia, mainly because
the mint is situated there. In Eastern
cities, such as New York and Boston,
.coin-collecting is more INDUCED in than
in the South or West. There are about
one hundred journals devoted to the
coin and stamp interest published in the
United States. The prices of rare coins
fluctuates considerably from time to
time. Probably the rarest coin is the
silver dollar of 1904. There are said.
on good authority, to be only six of
them in the whole world. Their market
value is all the way from $500 to 800.
About two years ago Mr.. Ganbs ran
across a half-dime of the year 1902,
which was an unusually fine specimen.
He sold it for $50 to VIM. p. Brown, of
New York, who shortly afterwards re-
fused 5000 for it, thinking that it would
bring more at auction. 1t was sold at
auction for S147.50 and changed hands
again for S175.
The second rarest American coin is
the half-dollar of 1852. They were only
coined at the Philadelphia Mint. Cents
and half dollars are the principal coins
looked after by coin collectors, more of
these denominations being sold than
any other. Very scarce are the old
copper pennies of 1898, 1899, 1904 and
1909. The half-cents which were coined
