1t is next Tuesday that the great
battle of the ballots is to be fought.
What the result will be no man posi-
lively knows. Both parties claim to
be confident of success. From Re.
publican stand point the outlook for
Nc Kinley could not be better and we
confidently look for his election and by
an overwhelming majority. No one
doubts but the East will be soldly for
him and there is no reason TO believe,
but that New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio will follow with heavy majorities
Under these circumstances it is highly
probable that the great central West,
so largely made up of Eastern and
Northern men, will be found, when the
votes are counted, in the same column
and by substantial majorities. These
alone willsecure success. But to them,
it is confidently believed, will be ad.
ded the Pacific coast and border
southern states. We confidently ex.
pect to see Republican landslide OF
tidal wave that will wipe Organism of
the face of the earth.

Roger Wolcott, who has just been

cessful career. His public life began
as a member of the Boston common

three terms in that body he was elected
member of the Massachusetts legls-

of the state government in 1883, and again
In 1884. Mr.. Wolcott was one of the
strongest opponents to the administra-
tion Of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler when
the general was governor. In 1883 Mr..
Wolcott was mentioned for governor
In 1884 he voted for Grover Cleveland,
but his party forgave him, and took him
to It's breast coon after by nominating
him for Acknowledgements that very
year. Later he acted for a time as gov
ernor when Gov. Greenhalge died. This
service placed him in direct line for
promotion, as Massachusetts, ever re-
wards its good servants by continuance
in Office or elevation. Mr.. Wolcott was
born in Boston in 1s47. His family Is one
