IL Gives Mckinley Over 10000
Plurality.
Worcester Still True and
Gives 2O6.

No election has been held in Wor-
cester county for years that excited
more interest than the one of Tuesday.
Although no local candidates were on
the ticket. everyone manifested great
personal interest in the result OF the
battle of ballots Justly so, because
upon the result depended as We be-
lieved, and as we still believe, the
future permanent prosperity OF this
country and its people. The Mrs
sESGER feels proud OF its work in the
campaign aud in view OF the un-
precedented changes in other sections
Of the State and nation, we feel great
qualification that Worcester county is
still in the Democratic column. The
majority is very much reduced, il is
true, but we have the consolation of
knowing it was not the will OF the peo-
Pile that reduced it, but the money of
Wall Street, Democratsand Republican
manufacturers.
In this, Snow Hill, district excite
ment ran high from the opening OF the
polls till six o'clock, when the last
vote was recorded. The Democrats
entered the fight without n penny,
while in this and several other districts,
to use a common phrase, the Repub-
licans had "money 10 burn" The
result shows that the substantial Dem
ocratic vote of this district is larger
than the Republican substantial and
purchasable vote combined. The same
is true throughout the county. In
Newark district such close watch was
kept on the vote purchasers that they
were unable TO use the money which
had been sent them and after several
attempts to use the money, which
failed, il was returned by the messenger
Eho brought it and the Democrats
proceeded to increase their majorities
several votes. Although much money
was used by Republican leaders here,
the Democrats carried the district,
which gave Republican plurality last
year, and this too, in face of the fact
that many Democrats were unable TO
get to the polls for the crowd of
negroes, who, the Republican leader,
a white man % had told to jam the
door so that the decent white people
would become disguised and go away
without voting"
Here is the result i'll the county and
State:

hey are making against the scalpers.
which sometimes leads them into error
Yesterday John Kaar filed a suit against

pany's trains near San Fernando. Kaar
alleges that he purchased a coupon ticke
from Princeton, ILL.,, to Los Angeles and
return from the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad. On the 10th of January
he boarded Southern Pacific train north
bound. The conductor, E. Jenike, took
his ticket, punched it and returned it,
Later, Train Agent James Bowling asked
TO see his ticke', and when he asked for its
return he refused to let him have it, say
ing that he must either pay his fare or
leave the train at San Fernando. Kaar
further alleges that the said Bowling was
very insulting and abusive in his language.
causing him much annoyance and expos
ing him to the rldicule of the other pas
seneers. AT San Fernando Kaar made a
tender of $l.75 to the conductor to ride as
far AS that amount would take him, on
condition that his ticket was returned to
him, but this, too, was refused. and he was
compelled to leave the train. The vaule OF
the ticket is $60.S0, and suit is brought to
recover this amount, with $4,000 dam

The Herald Is Right

The Los Angeles HERALD is up in arms
against the iniquitous poll tax. 1t says:
To the man of wealth the annual pay
ment of Sc fine called poll tax is
trifllng matter; but to the man who is
scarcely able TO obtain the necessities of
life it is hardship. There is no founda-
ton in justice for any such tax.
The poll tax should have no place on the
statutes of civilized people. 1t is relic
of bygone ages, an emblem OF superstition
and al emblem of petty oppression be-
meath the dignity of any commonwealth or
country.
The HERALD is right. The poll tax is an
infamy and should be abolished.-Sacra-
mento Bee.
