Gillette's many friends were astounded to
see dispatch from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
stating that on the preceding day he had
tiary for forgery. Their astonishment dis
appeared, however, on the following day,
when there was published an explanation to
the effect that the dispatch was in error, in
asmuch as Mr.. Gillette was the person whose
name had been forged. and that he was in

at his Office "Yes," said he, In response to
the writer's greeting, II reached home yes
terday, and feel as II had been out of
business and had just re-entered it. Most of
my time since have returned has been spent
in signing checks to pay bills. l have had a
remarkable expert ,nce, and there is the man
that Is responsible for it." As Mr.. Gillette
said this he handed the writer a photograph
OF man bearing slight resemblance to
with moustache and bald head. THAT man"
continued Mr.. Gillette, sis one of the coolest
and cleverest impostors and forgers you ever
heard Of"
Tne story which followed was remarka-
BILE one. The subject Of the photograph had
appeared in Winnipeg and personated Mr..
Gillette, with whose history he was familiar.
The man swindled Winnipeg people right
and left and description Of him was sent to
Boston, with the request that he be arrested.
So Mr.. Gillette was apprehended by the Bos-
ton police. or course he easily established
his identity and was released. Subsequently
the real f0rger was arrested and Mr.. Gillette
summoned to Manitoba to testify against
him. There the second blunder, as Stated
above, was made as to the identity of the
parties. The criminal was tried and SEN
fenced, Mr.. Gillette being largely instru-
mental in securing his conviction. Mr.. Gill
lette was Hospitality entertained by Winnipeg
people and his expenses paid by the authOri-
ties. The criminal has steadily refused to
reveal his real name.

taken the matter up and have secured rights
of way around the whole island with the ex-

undoubtedly be secured at an early date. A
new hotel with 30 rooms, located at some
point on the front side CT the island is also
talked of as part of the scheme. The rail-

by opening up the whole of the back side to
settlement. There are many picturesque
hooks and slightly knolls scattered about on
the seaside but hitherto they have been al

Ex-senator PIatt Says New York 10
Still a Pivotal State,
And Another such Election VIII In
sure Republican Supremacy.
Democratic Methods In the Cam
paign which Is Just over.

New YORK, November lin an inter-
view which the Tribune prints ex-senator
Thomas G. Platt says of the result Of the
election:
"One mere Democratic victory like 1t
would insure Republican supremacy for the
future and settle Governor HilPs aspirations
for the Presidency forever. Look at the
facts. Returns from the whole State dis
close the fact that the head Of the Democrat
ic ticket has pulled through by just about
the same plurality as elected Governor Hill
last fall; in fact, about 5000 less than the
Lieutenant Governor received; that their
candidate for state comptroller has less than
one-half, and their candidate for attorney
general less than one-third Of the plurality
which their lieutenant governor had last
fall (; that their attorney general has been
elected by meagre 1000 plurality and their
state comptroller by less than 10000 plnrali-
ty. AT the outset Of the campaign the Dem
ocratic organs Of Governor Hill gave notice
that he had concluded to capture both
branches OF the legislature and stop further
attempts at 'sumptuary legislation In
some Of the close senate districts the most
desperate and corrupt agencies were adopt
ed ever known In the history Of the politics
OF the State. Despite the atrocities, such as
Tweed himself would have blushed to perpe-
trate, strong Republican majority In the
senate has been preserved. The braggarts
have gained one senator, provided Repub-
lican senate will permit the illegal claimants
for the seats In Albany and Rensselaer,
counties to usurp those places. The same
tactics were pursued by the Democrats as to
the assembly. Not close or doubtful as
sembly district in the State was left free
from their diabolical designs. AS cOnse-
quence we have lost six or seven OF our last
years large Republican majority In the
lower house, that Is II you include the mem-
bers whose seats will be contested. To sum
1t all up, the Republicans have a majority Of
20, probably %, on joint ballot. The senate,
with its certain six majority, holds over all
next year, at which time the election Of
United States senator will occur. No one
Will be silly enough to suppose that the ex-
isting majority Of 20 can be reduced in next
years election. A Republican United States
senatori Is therefore practically assured.
"The results Of the electious Ia the coun-
try at large this year have shown that not
withstanding the accessi0ns OF strength
which the Republican party has receieved
from the newest states, New York Is still
the pivotal state In Presidential campaign.
IL will be as much necessity to the Repub-
lican party In 1892 as 1t mas ever been. The
Republicans of the country, however, need
have no cause for alarm. They can rest as
sured that with the patriotic sentiment OF
the party once more aroused in the Empire
State, New York will remain steadfast In
her place In the Republican column and cast
her electoral vote in the Presidential contest
for Republican principles"

RAILWAY MATTERS.
A BIddeford Man and the Boston q
Maine at Loggerheads.

BIDDEFoRD, November 11.-Joseph Cote
and the Boston & Maine railroad manage
ment are at loggerheads. The former was
In Boston last week and Thursday after.
noon he bought ticket at the station for
Biddeford paying $3.50 for it. He took the
first passenger train east, and when the con-
ductor came along presented his ticket In
good faith and was considerably surprised
when told that 1t was no good.
The conductor explained that that train
only came down as far as Portsmouth, and
that Cote's ticket was good only for
through trip from Boston to BiddefOrd and
could net be used as "stop-over." He
refused to punch the ticket and demanded
that Cote should buy stop over ticket, the
price OF which was S26S. This Cote refused
to do and he told the conductor that he could
either take up his ticket, put him off the
train or let him ride free.
The conductor would not punch the ticket
and did not care to take the responsibility Of
putting him off the train so he was allowed
to ride to the destination Of the train.
Before he left the cars the conductor asked
him IL he was willing to leave his pane and
he replied that he was, and gave his name
and address. Friday he received a letter
from the management charging him with
having refused to pay his fare and request
| Ing him to forward the money at once and
save trouble. He replied. to the letter but
not with its request, and Is waiting to see
what will be the outcome Of the matter.
