Hon. SAMUEL w. WILLIAMS,
the defeated Democratic candidate
for Congress-, made az gallant a
fight in this district. as could have
been made ny mortal man, and
would have been triumpllantly
e!ectad but for the unlimited use
OF money by his opponents. We
do not have to look far for proof
OF the above statement. One
month before tie election il was
almost impossible to get bet on
Walker, but as election day ap-
preached one could get all the bets
he was looking for, and this, too,
III the face OF the fact that Gencr.
al Walker was refusing to discuss
the Issues of the canvass with any
of the Democratic speakers. and
the majority in each county in the
district, with the exception of tive
or three, was about what it was
claimed it would be ten DAYS be
fore the election. We ore told this
wholesale buying of votes was
done i'll behalf of morality and the
National honor, but il the Nation.
al honor has to he protected by
such methods, all we have to say
is God save MS, for we have gone
beyond the point where we have
any chance Of saving ourselves.
Ter.
FROM all over the State comes
reports OF the wholesale buying of
votes by the Republicans and gold
Democrats. These same people
are accusing the Democrats of
stealing the vote of the State and
shouting for honest elections. Old
Virginia's vote was not stolen, and
these men are shouting "stop
thlef' to cover up their own fraud
ulcnt work, and make Mark Han.
Ma believe that the vote of the
State WAS stolen in order that they
may have his assistance in defeat
ing our peerless Senator, Hon. John
w. Daniel, but tho scheme wont
work, and they will find to their
cost that John Warwick Daniel is
30 enshrined in the hearts of the
people of Virginia that all the
money of Hanna, the power of tine
railroads and other large corpora
tons, the blatbering of the So call
ed honest money Democrats, back
ed BY the Republican party, will
be unable to defeat him and place
the Judas Iscariot of the Demo
cratic party of this State in his
place to represent the proud old
State of Virginia In the Unitcl
States Senate.

IDeSe changes would have given
every one Of the Nino States to Bry
nm, and. and adding their 60 votes to
the l67 he got elsewhere. would
would have made his strength in the
electoral college 227-three more
than he needed to make him Presi-
dent.
1t is serious reflection that the
changing of only 1888 votes-as a
matter of fact the change of 25,O26
votes would
have accomplished the results all
that stood between the election OF
Mckinley and the election of Bryan.
We commend this reflection to the
gentlemen who are throwing up
their hats and screaming themselves
blck in the face with nonsense about
lapdshdes and similar absurdities.
MIR. Mckinley got tremendous ma
iorities in New England, New York
Pennsylvania. lowe. Michigan, and
Illinois, but in the rest of the coun.
try he had mighty narrow escape
from defeat.

The Town hall was ablaze with light on Tuesday night, the occasion of the seventh annual ball of Putnam council, No. 54, which was without doubt the most successful the council has ever held.

The grand march was led by Grand Knight John r. Heating and Miss Lucy Bradley. Over 100 couples were present, representing the leading people among the younger set in Catholic soci- ety. Danbury, Bridgeport, Bethel and Brookfield was represented among the guests. Supper was served at the Grand Central and large number were enter tained at this we'll known hostelry.
