A charming wedding took place on
Wednesday evening last at the quaint
Christian church a Hollywood, the con-
tracing parties being Miss Aleda Morey
and Mr.. d. T. Macdonald. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. B. w. r.
Tayler of ST. Johns. The church was
beautifully decorated under the super
vision of Miss Clara Roberts. The pill
lars of the chancel were most effectively
adorned. On a white satin ribbon sus-
pended from the mouths of two doves
was hung the ring. The bride was at

fon and pearl passementerie. The veil

Boston, Nov. 4.-Massachusetts will
send 10 Republican electors to the elect

Mckinley and Hobart of nearly 125.o00.
Never before in the history of the Bay
State has there been such decided senti-
ment in favor of one of the two great
political parties. The nearest approach
To such an enormous majority was at
the 1872 election. when the Grant electors
had $4,000 plurality. The popular en-
Gorsement of Governor Wocott is nearly
as great as that OF his presidential leader.
The Democratic detection to Mckinley
was something almost unlocked for. es-

partisanship ceased to be factor with

There were evidently more Republican
votes cast for Mayor McGuinness than
for MIR. Covell and the believers I'm nom

ample justification for. their views in the
fact that the McGuinness vote did not
hold good for the other candidates
against whose name the same party

supported Mayor McGuinness ignored
Harbor Master Mcguire and carried out
their theory that the best man, as they
individually regarded him, should
receive their support by casting their
ballots for J. 4. p. Bucklip. And as IL
lustrsting the same thing the plurality
for overseer OF the Poor was less than
half OF that given to the Mayor.
