| ference 0, many thousands OF votes between IN"
| Republican candidate for President and 'ne Re-
| nuhlcan candidate for Governor. This difference
| was undoubtedly caused by the liquor issue
Mayor Jewett has had some iribulsuons IN con-
| sequence Of excise questions The Rev Henry
Elliott Mott in several sermons assaied the Je"ett
administration because II did not prevent the sale
OF liquor on Sunday, but this attack d'd not pro-
duce the impression II would otherwise have made
| owing TO the fact. which was quickly pointed out
| that the Rev MIR. Mott the pastor OF Jacob
| Stern, the Democratic opponent OF MI. Jewctt
| when he was a candidate for Mayor In 1894 Mr..
| Mott denied that Mr. Stern had nsiigated the at
| tack but nevertheless Mr.. Stern was suspected
| OF having exercised a hypnotic influence over the
| clergyman, doubtless unconscious. and therefore
| Mr. Motifs charges have not been seriously re-
! garded by the public. A more serious effort by
| Committee OF Seventy modelled upon that OF New
| York to enforce the laws against sunday liquor
selling has had the effect OF compelling the liquor
dealers 10 conceal their Sunday work 10 greater
extent than they have done for several years: The
| Superintendent OF Police quietly gave hint that
shades ought to be put over the front Windows OF
agSpr stores in order ha, the sn9a1S
within the saloons on sunday: This hint was given
sdered as" one "@S Of he narec results Of I
| vets enforcement OF the Sunday liquor law in
New-York.
GREAT DEMAND FOR CURTAINS
| Action by the liquor-doalers followed. which
greatly amused the public OF Buffalo. The secret
order Of the Superintendent Of Police was only
made public Saturday night. The liquor
| dealers were taken by surprise. and therefore
there was a mad rush in every direction for cur
| tains and shades 20 cover front windows The
supply OF shades gave out. and all sorts OF sub
stitutes were adopted, the chief being wall paper
| not very artstically gummed together. The tribu
atons OF the liquordeaers and their search for
material for curtains in the wallpaper stores were
described in IN. newspapers OF Buffalo as one Of
| the jokes Of the season. and the populace had
good laugh Moreover a good many Of the liquor
store Proprietors closed their front doors and per
United their customers 20 gain access to the bar
only by the side door But just much business
was done on the Sunday following previous
Sundays.
