CHAIRMAN CARTER SETTLES 1T
Republican Primaries Open to All Who are
Now in Fact Republicans.


Syracuse, n. Y, March 19-February
is the Republican county committee
adopted a rule providing that no Re
publican should be allowed to enroll or
vote at primaries who had voted the
ticket of any opposition party since
the last guberna torial- election. This
rule would disfranchise several thous-
and who voted for the independent mu-
nicipal reform candidate for mayor at
the last election. The editor of the
Post wrote Chairman Carter of the Re
publican national committee, asking
whether or not this rule confiicted with
the call of the national committee
which invited Republicans to st. Louis
without regacd -t5 sthe previous party
Affiliations.
The editor has, received in reply
letter signed by Thomas H. Carter and
Secretary Joseph Manley, in which
they say, in part:
"Any such rule is clearly in conflict
with the call for the national conven-
ton which reads in that behalf as fol-
lows:
The Republican electors in the sew
eral states and territories, and voters
without regard to past political affilia-
tions, who believe in Republican prin-
ClDleS anu SUUpTSe the hepubLCdH poi
icy, are cordially invited to unite under
this call in the formation of a national
ticket
This clause has been inserted in
every invitation issued to the electors
of the country by the national Repub-
lican committee from the organization
of the party down to the present time.
Every voter. without reference TO past
party affiliations. who now believes in
Republican principles and endorses the
Republican policy, has been cordially
invited to unite under the call in the
formation Of a national ticket. The
only legitimate test. therefore, which
can properly be applied TO any voter Of
fering his vote at Republican primary
would be embodied in the question: Do

est of the party TO extend, rather than
contract, is membership"

of the robbers. The robbers changed
their plans, however, and decided 10
hold up the New Orleans express. Three
bandits boarded the train at Selma, two
climbing on the rear baggage car and
the other on the tender.
AS the train pulled out of Goshen, the
robber who had betrayed his compan-
ions, left the train without their know
ing it, rushed into a telegraph Office and
told the operator that the robbers had
changed their plans. The officers has
tened back to meet the train and board
ed the engine at Tagus. The robbers
did not intend to make their presence
known until after the train had pulled
out from the station, but the officers
saw the men and opened fire. The ban
dts returned the volley and Under
Sheriff Daggett was shot through the
lungs, sustaining a wound that Will
probably prove fatal. Constable Reed
was shot in the shoulder. McCole, who
is believed to have been one OF the Dali

ginning of the present instruction 10
carry out then his war and repression
policy, and ought TO have kept Marshall
Campos in reserve 10 go out and try his
policy of attraction, Cancellation and re-
forms if the Weyler policy failed to
achieve the pacif1cation of Cuba
The same paper says that the nation
will find fault with the government for
lack of repression and judgment in not
having properly put into practice these
two policies in the order of succession,
which course past experience ought 10
have dictated in a country where every
body knows that civil wars cannot be

action.
Senior Callesy Ribot, chief of the Ca
talan Republicans. in recent speech
against the United States makes this
confession:
1T cannot be denied that the Spanish
colonial policy in Cuba has been disas-
trous and despotic to the extent of jus
tifying fully the rebellion there against
the Spanish government.
Ell Liberal tells Weyler that his dec
larations will play into the declarations
of the Separatists and their friends in
states. and that he has only to blame
himself if he has discovered that cir
cumstances defeated his expectations
in the Cuban provinces of saving the
sugar crop, which results he promised
publicly to achieve before the end OF
March.

1T WAS A GLORIOUS VICTORY
Not for the Lying spaniards, Though. But
for the Cubans

Chicago, March ia dispatch to the
Times-Herald from New York says: The
Cuba insurgents have dealt Spain a
crushing blow.
Trustworthy news has been received
from Havana that the battle fought a
few days ago in Pinar del Rio. which
the dispatches sent out with the sane
ton Of the press censor described as a
Spanish victory, was in reality Ia
mentable defeat for the forces of Cen
eral Weyler.
This news reached Havana today and
was sent to this city in a brief cipher
cablegram. The source of the inforTna-
ton leaves no doubt Of its reliability.
The Spanish officials will not permit
the report Of insurgent success TO be
sent out of Havana. 1t is expected that
the details of the battle will be snug
gled over to Tampa and there put on
the wires.
1t is the firm opinion in this CITY
among persons informed Of events in
Cuba that the Spanish cause is lost. 1t
is also believed, despite denials. that
this last defeat viii 50 add to the dis
satisfaction against General Weyler
that either his resignation or recall will

poses and says: That for about three
years prior to September, 1885, his halr
continually dropped out until he had
become almost bald; that in September,
1895, he began to take the free treae-
ment for badness furnished by tne
Knowlton Danderine company at their
office in Guthrie, Okla; that IN a short
time thereafter his hair ceased to fan
out and began TO thicken; that he con-
tinued the treatment daily for thirty

has continued to thicken and grow very

Nothing is impossible. A few weeks
ago you would have hooted al the idea
of taking a photograph through a brick
wall--yet this very thing is being done
repeatedly. You doubt that anything
can grow hair on bald heads. Why?
Simply because you have never seen it
done, or because, perhaps, you have
been deceived time and time again by
other (sO-called) restOrers. Mr.. Bush,
whose affidavit is given above, had no
more faith than you have. His eXper-

As result of conference of leading
Cuban sympathiZers in this city, held
recently, three steamers will be fitted
out within the next six weeks and will
leave Tor Cuban shores laden with anu
milton for the insurgents. The entire
cost of the expeditions will approxim-
ate about 1925, 600, which nearly all has
been raised. it is said, and is now in the
hands of John d. Hart the hiladel-
phian who successfully started the
Bermuda on her trip to aid Cuba. Of
this amount. it is said. one wealthy man
in this city alone contributed $50, 600
Mr.. Hart is now in this city. He has
already made oyertures TO purchase a
third, so that if the money raised, the
filiburterers can leave this city before
the last Of April. Calling guns and
several thousand stands of rifles will be
taken on the steamer, together with
100000 rounds of ammunition. The
present idea, it is said, is to clear the
steamers for the West Indies and to
send them far eno--h into the Atlantic
