RACES.
WINNIrEC, MAN, November Thurs
day, by order of Attorney General Miller,
John Mccormick, from Dakota, who was
sent to jail for eight months for larceny,
was taken out in the yard and fogged with
a cato -nine-tails because he made an at
tempt to escape from the guard. Public
indignation against Miller was so great that
last night five thousand citizens met and
burned him in eifigy, the crowd singing
Hang Judge Miller to a sour apple tree. y
A procession was then formed, which
mar, he'd to the Jail and demanded the per-
son of Mccormick. but the authorities
would not deliver him. The
m b groaned and hissed for half an
hour, and then went to the government build
ing and demanded that Miller be produced.
Prem ier Norquay came ont and addressed
thee owd, saying the government would give
proper account Of its position to the public
in a few days, when the blame would be
placed upon the proper shoulders. The
crowd howled for Miller, but it was an.
nounced that he had left the city in the after
noon. He was seen to take train for ST.
Vincent Minor last evening. While the mob
was at the government building the military
with Fixed bayonets, marched up and at
tempted to disperse the crowd, but without
success. The streets are being paraded by
the mob howling for satisfaction.

As II has Never Been in all the

PlrrsBrRG, Pa, November T. Exclu-
sive Notwithstanding the fact that the
Republicans had been making preparations
for the last six weeks, the demonstration
scarcely came up to the expectations even
after securing the country rouRdabouts to
reinforce the home party. Really the best
club in the whole line came from
Wheeling. 1t was fully ex-
pected that $4,000 to 10000 men
would be in the procession, but $4,000 is a
fair estimate. 1t was commented upon by
good Republicans that junior clubs and
wagons predominated. The decorations
were not on as large a scale as former dem-
onstrations OF the kind.
The Industrial establishments and men Of
the workshops were not as fully represented
as in former years. There was not that wild
enthusiasm so characteristic in the party
that has held sway so loDg in this country.
1t could be noticed that the finger Of the
stalwart faction was not in the pie. The
weather greatly intertered.
The Democratic Parade.
The last Democratic demonstration Of
the campaign which was expected to be a
big affair was not so large as anticipated
owing TO misunderstanding in the county
committee. 1t appeaas that it was given
ont that the East End was
the locality selected for to,night's pa
rade which was not sanctioned by a
majority of the members of the committee,
aud as consequence all clubs from that
portion of the city refused to turn out. The
country clubs having not been isformed
definitely when the procession was to take
place failed to show up Notwithstanding
these drawbacks the parade was creditable
one. The clubs seemed to vie with
each other in marching and
making good display. About
5000 were in line, and they marched over
the principal thoroughiares presenting a
magnificent appearance, and while not 80
large in number as the Republican parade
carried off the prize for fine marching. The
procession took three-quarters of an hour to
pass, and all along the route the cheers
from the enthusiastic spectators were long
and loud while the scene was one blaze of
light from red Iockets.

A COUNTY DEMOCRAT
On CleyeIand's Majority i'm Ne
York.

On CleyeIand's Majority i'm New
York.
Ngw YoRx. November IA county
Democrat said at the Hoffman House this
morning: Nothing could give the Tam
many candidate for mayor a chance, but
political infdehty upon wholesale scale.
The failure Of the Republicans to nominate
a ticket worth printing showed that Blaine 5
friends in New York were playing as sharp
a game as Kelly himself They were en-
phasizing the necessity for bargain BY
putting up fgureheads. If they had nom
mated a respectable man for mayor, Grace
would not have had the support he will now
receive from Republicans who are con-
cerned about the city government.
The second Republican nomination
means that Grace will undoubtedly be
elected unless Tammany comes to terms.
We estimate that % per cent of the Repuo-
licars who would have voted for the candi-
date Of their party if a good man had been
nominated will support grace for two rea-
sons. The first is that he is known to be
trustworthy, and the second that John Kel-
ly viii be virtually mayor if the Tammany
man wins. We cannot be beaten with such
odds in our favor unless Cleveland is sold
out. You can rest assured of it that the
county Democracy and its allies will stand
by the Governor to man. Whatever Tam
many does, We expect to elect Grace by a
majority of 10000"
How large do you think the Governors
majority viii be in New York;
That is entirely contingent upon what
Tammany does. He should get $4,000
when you remember how widespread the
Republican dissatisfaction is. If the Met
ropolitan Democrats were united and har-
mOnious and their neighbors across the
river likewise, there would be no trouble in
throwing in the shade the majority that

number of voters in the State reaches near
ly 100000 but the relative natural strength
OF the two parties is about the same
A change of traction of Del
cent of the total vote would re,
place Haneock's majority with one
for Blaine. Third and fourth parties aside,
if 1906 mes who voted for Hancock
charged this tau to the Republican side
Blaine would have majority in the State.
Unfortunately for the Republicans and the
political prophets, the contest this fall is
not a strsightout fight between Democrats
and Republicans. The naturel gain of the
Republicans this year over 1880, from the
more clearly understood position of the
Democrats against the protective tariff,
would be nearer COOL than l,OO6, and II e
electoral vote of the State would be as as
sured for Blaine as that of Iowa.
Where the Complications Are.
But four new, separate and distinct COM
picating elements are in the situation.
These are the ST. John folly, the Independ-
ent crarkiness, the Irish bolt ard the Butler
boom. The first two draw from the Repub-
licans and the last two from the Democrats,
but just how much each will draw and Just
where the drawing is to be done is one of
thote Things that lot of fellows would
give great deal TO find out. Tie
shrewdest and best informed poll i.
ticians in the State in their estimates
of the importance and effect of these
four distracting elements, differ as much as
insanity experts in murder trial. Two
weeks ago both parties made a careful can
vass and thought they knew something
about how big the doubtful vote was and
approximately where it was going. Since
then the history of the third and fou.th
parties has been one of the continual de-
cline and fall. As the time approaches for
the performance in the main tent and side
shows are being deserted. But there are
no means of estimating the rate at which
this breakup is proceeding, and still less
can the politicians tell how much of the
original materia will be left by election day.
Clearly Beaten Party.
From the standpoint Of disnterested OBJ.
server, the New Jersey Democrats to day
are clearly and Enthusiastically beaten. The
St. John Republicans and the Butler Demo
Gratis will balance one another The Irish
boilers will outnumber the Independents
three to. one, and the Republicans will have
left as clear gain the natural transfer Of
workingmen' vote frcm the Democratic to
the Republican side consequent upon the
tariff issue This will amount to 5000 votes
in the State, and leave 5000 majority for
Blaine. But this is margin so small that
the return TO their party ranks of consid-
erable portion of the Democratic bolters
and the sticking to their folly Of consider
able portion Of the ST. John men will wipe
it out entirely. A reverse change in the
boilers vote would double it.

The Butter Vote in Western Connecticut
Trivial.
New York, November IA Times cor
respondent now in Connecticut telegraphs

called upon Chairman Bingham, the official
head Of the Butler party having his office
in New Haven, to find out where the Butler
vote was in the State, he admitted that But

strong in those places, particularly in Dan.
bury In Bridgeport search for Butterflies
was not rewarded BY the discovery of many
ardent supporters Of Blaines assistant; in
Norwslk there was trace Of Butler; in
South Norwalk not even trace, and, as a
last stopping place in the State, Danbury,
which had been described to me as "hot-
bed Of Butlerism, has been visited. On
my arrival in the evening on the Main
street stopped to ask a group of young
me: where should find the Butler head
quarters. The necessary directions were
promptly furnished. The room of the But
Ter and West men were Just around cor
ner, where a transparency without
light projected from a second
story. The transparency without
light and the headquarters without ten
ants, suggested remarkable indifference at
so late stage in the campaign. 1t did not
take long to discover that Danbury was not
"hot5ed' of Butlerism. There are some
Butler men here. There have been several
voters Of that sort in the town tor several
years. AS the place contained nearly 200
voters in 1890, and now has about 5000,
that is not surprising. But they have not
been formidable in numbers. Gen. Weaver
received ! votes in 1880 These seven
votes appear to have been put away in a
political refrigerator for IN lso2, when Tan
ner was the candidate Of The GreenbacEers
for Governor : to'es. and no more, were
cast for him.
Popular Feeling
is not always a safe guide m election times,
but If il can be taken at all, the dritt IN
Danburv is favorable TO the Democrats.
The Republicans who are opposed to Blaine
are rot Of the wavering sort They have
not been dodging back and forth between
parties for years, but have been steadtast

70 all the towns in the State, and 1t has a
