GEORGETOWN, Oct. 27.-Groups of
men standing at the street corners and
and all along Market street talking
loudly and gestlculating wildly, attracted
general attention or Sunday morning
and on inquiring what caused the ea
citement u. the following facts were
ELECTED:
Fred f. Ellingsworth Of Milton, Demo.
cratic assessor OF that hundred, arrived
here from Philadelphia, by way OF Sea
ford, at o'clock Sunday morning, to de

THEY ARE Ratified.

An amusing feature OF the campaign is
the diversity OF Republican opinion in
regard TO cheapness. on October IA Mr.
Mckinley said:
Cheap | never liked the word
"Cheap" and nasty 60 together. This
whole system OF cheap things is badge
OF poverty, for cheap merchandise means
cheap men, and cheap men mean a cheap
country and that is not the kind our
fathers builded.
Our fathers who resisted the stamp
tax and threw tea into Boston harbor did
not reason that way; but on October 10
Speaker Reed, speaking at Buffalo,
reasoned just as differently He said

tion the gift Of God2 In my opinion it
rests upon protection.
It is ASTONISHING that these two states
men--these two great political econo-
mists-who have studied the subject Of
protectionism so affectionately for ten
months together with the manufacturers
cannot get any nearer together than that.
Does not this diversity Of opinion Of
these two leaders Of the Republican party
convince any candid man that they
either do not know what they are talking
about or that they are demagoguesi

Mckinley himself declared that cheap

Mr.. Lodge speaking in Boston. de-
clared that 'cheapness was un Amsri-
can. Whatever that may mean, he
meant to intimate that it was very bad.
But the same Mckinley, who dislikes the
nastiness which accompanies cheapness,
declared in his sps ech at Chicago that
the Mckinley bill had reduced the duty
on larger per cent. of articles than the
Mills bill.
Considering, that cheapness ana civili-
zation nave gone hand in hand. Il ia
somewhat startling to hear from these
Republican authorities that cheapness is

for several weeks and last week Secre-
tary e. B Frazer, of the State Board of
Health, at the instance Of DR.. Frank
Springer, the attending physician, went
out to the house and made a thorough
inspection OF the surroundings II was
found that the building was in horrible
condition. Nearly all the joists. which
were heavy logs, were so rotten that a
nail could be pushed in them ell around.
The foundations of the old building had
tumbled down completely, and the frame
work rested upon the mud. The cellar
steps had rotted away and the sheds
about the house were also in ruins The
property is owned by the heirs of
Andrew w McFee, and Mr.. Dean had
leased it for ten years, at stated sum
for the whole time, on condition
that the owners should keep the house
In repair, Mr. Desn was instructed to re-
move from the place at once, as the
health Of his family would not only be
impaired by remaining, but there was
great danger of the house blowing OF
tumbling down at any moment. The
family left the house on Saturday, and IL
is said law suit, growing out of the ten
years, lease, may result.

TO the Editor of the EVENING JOURNAL.
Sin: A few days ago my attention
was called to an article published In the
Morning News of October 20. purporting
TO be written by fone Democrat from
this hundred and stating that there
were Democrats here who had not been
reoonciled aad who would not vote for
the Democratic nominees. There is not
even the semblance Of truth In that
statement. The Democrats of Milford
ara men of honor and principle and
they will support the nominees
because they were fairly nominated ae-
cording to the rules and customs OF the
Democratic party, II not because they
are all worthy, competent and honorable
mon. The Republican newspapers have
not been truthful or honest during this
campaign. Take the two papers printed
in this town; les than a year ago they
were abusing one another with language
not found in the spelling book. heard
a leading Republican of this place say
only yesterday that they we're disgusting
and not suitable to go In his home TO be

The Gaynor System asay be In Service
in Few Days-saves Time and Labor.
The electrical aFparatuses connected
with the Gaynor police signal system
have arrived in this city and it is expec-
ted that In course of week the system
will be in working order. There are
twelve booths to be placed in different
parts OF the city. In each booth a
box will be placed containing
transmittsrs, These boxes can only be
opened by the policeman on the beat.
By opening the box, pressing the trans.
mitter and pulling down the lever, an
alarm is sent into the station. Alarms
Of Are, call for patrol, or the ambulance
wagon, or a general call for help can be
made by pressing separate buttons.
There is also bell within the box which
brings an answer back.
Persons living in the vicinity of the
booths are supplied with citizens keys.
These do not open the box but will give
access to the lsyer, the pulling of which
means call for police. This key cannot
be taken cut of the box, except by the
officer, so that, the keys being numbered
and the holders of them known, the
transmission of false alarm can be easi-
ly traced to the person who holds the key.
Each officer must report at his booth
at stated periods. and when he sends in
his report, a self-stamplng apparatus
in the station registers the time the re-
port was made.
To each booth there is also an electric
! bell and large plate, which gives fash
light. This flash light can be seen by
the officer on his beat, and is call tC
the booth from the station
II prisoner escapes by this
system all the officers in the
town can be warned in minute. and il
row is in progress, the police can b,
notified without striking general alarm
There is to be register placed in th'
/ patrol wagon stable, so that when cal
for the wagon comes in, notice OF th'
place can be transmitted to the stable
Immediately.
BY this system police officer is never
obliged to leave his beat, either to con
vey prisoner to the station or to cal
for help: bis district is always protected
| and as ne is compelled to report at regu-
lar periods, he can never afford to take /
nap while on duty. In case of riot all tn,
officers in the city can be notified, snC

can be located in moment
The plant which is to be placed in thu
police station is cabinet in which il
| placed switch, galvanometers and othe
apparatuses. On top of this is placed
smaller cabinet, and this contains tn
transmitters. The whole combination i
very handsome, and win be placed in tn
rear of the police station as soon rs tn
telephones cnn be procured. In case
| policeman should not see the flash ligh
while on duty, there is registering ap
paratus within the box, so that when h
goes TO report he finds the orders regis
tered there.

Temperance of the Grip. What
Certain symptoms Mean.
There can be little doubt that the grip"
which played such sad havoc last year, has
not only left its effects upon a great many.
but seems 10 be returning in various locali-
ties. All physicians report that there is an
alarming prevalence Of heavy colds. accom-
panied by all grip symptoms. Many people
take cold easier than before; others are
troubled with week eyes. headaches. &c.
These things not only come to those who were
laid lew by the grip last year. but are also
visiting many whl escaped. Pains, neural
gia lasitu1e. all ths symptoms are present.
Every leading physician who treated the
grip last Sc ls0n prescribed sttmulants. The
weakt ming. depressed state of the body de-
manaed this. AMI there are mum rous cases on
record where pure viii kew saved the lives OF
men and women who were fast drifting
toward the grave AS in all her things,
however, the purity of OF an article deter
mines its value.aEd to say that ordinary whis-
key will assist Is absurd IL Is only pure
whiskey Of a N sdicinal quality which can be
made avaiiRbi e. and IL IA IN this respect that
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey rs shown itself
to be immea gurably superior to any other

physicians has been drawn to this truth and
the fact that they are prescribing this whis-

could hestow Prof. Joseph Parrish says: We
