voice.

tence OF the prisoner. said Mr.. Nicoll,
whereupon Recorder Smyth. In voice
full OF sadness aud severity, pronounced

Il regret very much to be placed In
the position OF sentencing man who is
q member OF the same profession TO

firm with which have had many trans
actions" said the Recorder.

connected. responsible family. | know
that you have brought ruin and dis
grace upon yourself and your family
and that you feel II keeny.
1T is unnecessary for me TO say any
thing further. The sentence Of tho
court is that you be confined In the
State prison at hard labor for the term
OF ten years" - -
Weeks took his sentence. the heaviest
the law allows for his offense, without
fllnching. lie seemed TO have expected

usual questions, that be was 40 years
old. lie looked Is years older thah
that when he arrived last Friday
from Costa Rica. He looked 10
years younger as he stood erect and
finely poised at the bar Of justice to-
day. lie bad no lawyer. He turned

OF court with a 6rm tread. They took
him across the hall 70 the Office OF Coli
onel Townsend, where be had long
visit with his wife, after which he was
taken back 10 the Tombs.

COLUMBUS, o., November SIN re-
ply to an inquiry from General Manager
Stone, Of the Associated Press, as to
the causes for the result in Ohio, Gov.
Mckinley to-day states that Lawrence
T. Neal, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, Vas recognized as much as a
free trader as be Mckinley was an
advocate Of protection. AT the Chicago
national convention last year that nomi-
mated Cleveland for President, Neal
was the anthOr Of the anti.tarif plank
and had il inserted in the platform in
place Of the plank reported by Cleve-
lands friends Of the Committee on
Resolutions In his opening speech In
this campaign at Newark, o., Mr.. Nea!
not only said that bis campaign would
be fought on the lines OF the Chicago
platform which had been incorporated
into
THE STATE PLATFORM
on which he stood; but he also SO clearly
defined his position boldly as a free
trader that the two candidates we're re-
cognized throughout the canvass as EN-
bodying in the views that this issue had
never before been so distinctly present
ed to the people.
The next day after Meals speech at
Newark" says Governor Mckinley, Il
accepted bis Interpretation Of the issue
as represented by US respectively, and
We fought it out on that lins in over one
hundred public meetings Of each canoi-
date that followed and were invariably
addressed in accordance with the chat
leuge at Newark and its prompt accept
snce."
Governor Mckinley said the returns
would speak more forclbly than he was
able TO do, and he knew Of nothing that
be could add except TO say that hereto
fore the campaigns have been conduct
ed with complications Of issues, but
that this time the 6ght was centered on
protection with the leader Of free trade
clearly defined 10 his position and
THE TARIFF ISSUE
fully presented at every meeting OF all
parties in the canvass. Governor Nc
Kiuley's office is thronged to-day again,

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. S.-The En-
ouirer, under the head; "How 1t Oc'
Cured" sums up the situation thus:
This is the year for them.
This is the season when the cyclone
flourishes.
Why?
Is it because people whose habit it
has been to carry $1,000 in each trou-
sers pocket for cigarette money have
had TO stop smoking for the sake Of
economy?
Mayhap.
Is it because people who got onto
American tin plate with both feet had
their attention distracted when our
glorious statesmen began TO monkey
with American silver?
Possibly.
Can it be attributed to tariff or single
tax or something of that sort?
Perhaps.
Ask your statesmen and they will
tell YOU with equal conciseness that
it may be or it may not be. That
is immaterial. The one living ourn-
ing irresistible fact that confronts
us is that this is year of wreck. There
have been fearful floods in the South,
dreadful disasters on the rail In the
West, storms that swept the great lakes
with untold destruction, crimes and
casualties that pale to insignificance the
records Of the past, and now
Well?

Words are useless. Nothing heretofore
is in it for minute.

Normally a Republican state.

BosToN, November s.-The result OF
the election in Massachusetts can only
be described as huge political land
slide. For the first time in three years
the State will have Republican Gov
ernor, and his plurality is 10000 at the
least. The whole ticket is elected with
him, and the Legislature is solidly Re-
publican in both branches.
The most sanguine Republicans had
not claimed over $4,000 for Greenhalge.
The astonishing result is attributed by
those Democrats who will talk about 1t
to the present industrial depression,
aided by the fact that Massachusetts, is
normally Republican State.

The New York ..Post. "

New York, November S.-The FoSt
says: At last the people Of this State
have had free andIuntrampelled op-
portuuity TO express their opinion OF
David Bennett Hill, blue-eyed Billy
Sheehan, Edward Murphy, Governor
Flower, Croker and Mclaughlin
and the kind of politics
which they represent. The
issue was plain and the candidates em-
bodied clearly and completely the poit-
ical principles and practices Of his back
ers. Maynard stood as they have stood
for eight years in the State for criminal
politics. To emphasize the meaning Of
his candidacy, Sheehan and MCLaugh-
Inns sub-boss, McKane, made special
demonstrations OF what criminal poll
tics was by organizing the criminals and
leading them in open violation of the
laws. The people have had no excuse
for not comprehendinE the issue that
was presented and their verdict leaves
no room for doubt as to their capacity for
forming an intelligent judgment. The
result OF the elections outside OF New
York, where special and peculiar con-
dltions existed, growing out Of the
nomination Of Maynard, must be as
cribed mainly TO the financial pa1ic Of
last summer and the consequent hard
times. What next? Evidently the
Democrats must go straight forward
and do that which they were com
manded to do when Mr.. Cleveland and
the present Congress were elected.

Democrats Gain Ten Legislators.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November s.-The
Democrats have gained probably ten
legislators. partly due to the redistrIct-
ing OF the State by the last Legislature.
II is certain that the aggregate vote OF
the counties will be much smaller than
in the election two years ago.
In some counties the votes cast Tues
day were not more than one-half the
usual number. This loss comes mainly
from the Democratic side. The Popu-
lists have been practically wiped out.
The Democrats will have at least 105
members of the Legislature out Of a
total Of 13s.

and tho Cause of lt.
CHICAGO, November S.-The follow
ing telegram was received tonight:
HAMILTON, o., November 5, 1898.
To MclUiILe E. Stone General Manager
Associated Press:
Replying to your inquiry believe
that the result Of the recent election
shows that Onio was merely sharing in
the general shaking up which the
Democratic party is receiving
all along the line from Massa-
chusetts TO Iowa. The business de-
preston is attributed by the
Dartisaps and unthinking portion Of
our people 10 the present federal admin
istration. The ex-soldiers are some
what moved bv she needless fear that
they will not be justly aud literally
dealt with. There is a natural e0bing
OF the tide from the great flow Of last
year. There are sore and disappointed
applicants for Office. These are the
causes of the defeat. The fear OF tariff
revision has nothing TO do with II what
ever.

CLEVELAND, O., November s.-The
Plain Dealer (Democrat) says: By a
majority certainly large enough for all

ceeds himself as Governor OF Ohio. To
those closely in touch with events in
the Ohio campaign this is not surprise.
While the vote given Mr.. Mckinley by
no means indicates either personal
or party strength in more stirring polit-
ical times to come, it is patent that
Ohio has just been the field of a pre-
liminary skirmish-a plan to that effect
was long ago mapped out, and circum-
stances have conspired 10 render it ap-
parentlY successful

hae naturally drawn TO his canvass

secti0ns OF tie country and possessed
of an ambitious aspiration OF his own,

miscOns tructions indnlged in through
out all Industrial sections OF the State
have assisted to a present success is
proved by the returns: in what manner
this wilhaffect his relations with the
prize of 1896 remains to be seen.
