MCKINLEY WINS VOTES.
A Conservative Estimate Gives Plurality
Tor Him Of $1,000.

CAMBRIDGE, O., Oct. 23.-When Cover.
nor John Brough was csnvassing Ohio prior
to the election of 1858, he spoke in Mari
eta. After the close of his meeting be
was addressed by a man, who said: Mr.
Brough, am going to vote for you, be-
cause | think you are honest and mean
| what you say"
There is a remarkable similarity between
this occurrence and one which happened to
Governor Mckinley after the close Of his
meeting in Woodsield. 1t was the first
time either Republican governor or candi-
date for governor had visited the little
town. After the governor had finished his
address, a gentleman past three score and
ten pushed his way to the front. You
are the first man | ever met who told
nothing but the truth" he said, II shall
vote for the first time in my life the kepub-
licsn ticket this fall"
Governor Mckinley has already ad-
dressed nearly so meetings, the average
attendance at which has not been less than
1000. This means that he has already
spoken to 200, 900 of Ohio's voters. In the
coming two weeks he will speak Is times.
should the same ratio continue, and the
ch anees are it will become larger, as the
meetings are mostly to be held in cities of
considerable size, he will have spoken to
325 900 people by election day, good
percentage of the total vote in the State
These figures do not include the thousands
of people he has spoken TO from his car at
stations along the railroad, or his buggy
while driving through the country. l
Democrats themselves do not attempt to
deny it, that his majority will be largely

CHICAGO A WICKED CITY.
New York, However. Is Said to Have nsch
Worse Haunts Of Vice.

CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-Seven members Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance con-
gress, which closed its session Saturday
night, will carry away from Chicago a
knowledge Of its darker side and will no
doubt make it the foundation of many
addresses in advocacy OF social purity and
temperance. The experience which the
crusaders gained was found in series OF
stunning" tours, under police protec-
tion, through the ''levee" districts OF
Chicago.
They were escorted by two detectives.
The party started cut at o'clock yester-
day morning to visit the most notorious
dives. AT one place all the men save one
of them made from the house This one
was drunk and insisted upon having a
dance with one of the missionaries. He
WAS finally squelched by one OF the officers.
The trip occupied three hours, and at its
close Miss Hay, who has done missionary
wcrk in the Sums before. said:
II have been through every part Of New
York and have seen life ia its worst form.
This does not compare with what there is
there. II is bad enough, however. 1t WAS
an experience which the ladies who were
with me will never forget, and from
which some of them will not recover for
some time. Not that they were made sick,
but the shock they received on beholding
such scenes of vice was very distressing.
The Information gained will enable the
ladies to conduct the warfare against the
evils of vice and intemperance.

CAN'T PAY REID THE MONEY.
State Department Decision That Recalls
Celebrated Case.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. - Secretary
Gresham has practically decided that he
had no authority of law to effect final
settlement of the celebrated case of the
privateer brig General Armstrong, on
which William II. Cranes play of THE
Senator" is sail to be founded, by paying
to Sam Chester Reid, the surviving son OF
the Armstrong; commander, the residue
of the money appropriated by Congress as q
reward for the service done by the privateeI
in defeating a British squadron in Septem-
Der, 1874.
The battle between the Armstrong and
the British ships occurred in the harbor OF
Fayal, in the Azores, where the Armstrong
was lying at anchor. On Sept. 2G, 1915,
the vassel was attacked by her Majesty's
ship Plantagenet, "A guns; the frigate
Rota, A guns, and the brig Carnation, IL
guns. The British numbered 2Uo0 men
while the Armstrong had only seven guns
and 80 men.
After a two-days' battle Reid defeated
the three English ships, which were part Of
an expedition concentrating at Jamaica, tc
join Admiral Cochrane before New
orleans, and Reid's stand detained them
until to late to be effective in fighting Gen
jackson. This detention, it Is claimed
saved New Orleans and Louisiana from
British conquest.
In 1915 the United States made a claim
against Portugal for indemnity in allowing
British vessels to fire on an American ship
in one of its harbors, and President Zach
ary Ta,lor submitted the question to the
arbitration of Louis Napoleon, who decid
ed against the United States. Reid hac
died meanwhile, and turned over the prose
cution Of his claim for Indemnity TO hi'
son.
Ia 1852 Congress Appropriated $4,000
for the benefit of the owners, officers and
crew of the Armstrong. and the present
claimant, Sam Chester Reid, secured coun
sci fees and his fathers share, amounting
to about $40 900. Some Of the claimsnt'
di not appear, and Mr.. Reid contendet
that the SIG 900 set aside as their shar'
should be giyen to lin.
Secretary Gresham can find no authorit,
for so disposing of it. and the matter viii
probably be sent TO Congress for action
Since tie time of Mr.. Frelipghuysen, wht
distributed the Congressional award, othel
secretaries of state have held that Mr.
REID is no. entitled to the money.

Regulars In Maine.

There should be regiment Of regular

Maine has tremendous frontier,
bordering on country with which we may
be at war In case of such war at any time
Halifax and Montreal together with the
Canadian Pacific Railway and the st. Law

Strategic points in Maine for the con-
centrstion of troops to accomplish this pur-
pose are not hard to find.
when we consider, that the little state
of Vermont is soon to have one Of the reg
iments that are now fast being called in
from the West, there seems TO be no
reason why Maine should not have an
other and this is especially the case since
no state of Southern New England now
contains other than artillery troops on the

This leaves a smaller number of petit

should be divided. Governor Robe there

have done . great deal fof the companies
located therein; they have furnished A.
mcries and rifle ranges.
.'Other towns. l am sorry to say, have
done jast - little - they possibly could
under the Law and one town has done moth
ing, whatsoever. and. a. result, the COM
pAny there 10 located in . plsce unit for
decent men to enter.
The officers of this company are Obliged
TO mix with the enlisted men upon all ocea-
sions to the det,iment of discipline. This is
due TO the fact that there 10 but one room !;
there being no separate ofiicefs and enlisted
mems rooms As is customary elsewhere in
the State. As result Of this the state Of
discipline in the company referred to 10 very
low, but, when il is considered that the CON-
pany has to pay what ArmoYy rent is not
paid BY the State, to buy its own fuel and
lights IS well Is to face cold Indifference
on the part of the towns people. it may well
be wondered that the company exists at all.
II find that every company in the State
has 3 rife range. This is something un-
usual In companies of the guard and Is ex-
tremely cammendable.
Men all over the State take great inter
es, in the rifle shooting and the good work
done at Augusta last August At the State
shoot is the natural outcome Of these condi-
tons.
Personal Obssrvstisas and Suggestions.
1T is surprising. the benefit that is de-
rived from slight increase in the appro-
pria,ion for the guard.
"A new issue of uniforms and equip
ments is much needed and, as the guard is
State force, the appropriation by the
State should be made as liberal as possible.
But. while looking to the State for
more assistance. there is great deal tnat
can be done by the members of the guard
themselves.
At WAS in a great measure to suggest
these things to each individual company
that the recent inspection was ordered.
Much pains was taken to nose weak points
as we'll as to slggest new and useful work.
Il, is believed that the different con- p1n-
les will take hold in earnest during the COM
ing winter and will prepare themselves for
ar excellent showing at the next encamp-
men,.
THE elective syste M of selecting officers
is doubtless the best one that could ex's, in
the guard, but, an elective system can never
be perfect without the clerk of board of
examiners, which has been provided fer in
the new law.
Under this law the board has the power
to examine an officer-elect; not only into
his technical qualifications but also as 70 his
character and standing in the community in
v hi h he resides.
Too much care cannot be exercised by this
board.
The guard is 10 be congratulated that
the non-commissioned officers are appointed
by the captain of the company and not
elected by the members.
The latter method prevails in many
states of the Union and cannot be too
strongly condemned.
The system Of electing officers for onlv
six years. instead Of for life is also to be
