Alfred Gswthrop said that he or some
other OF the leading members Of

such thing had occurred. He
thought the rumor simply started from

Unfair and dishonest.

We cannot imagine how those persons
owning property in the built-up portion
of the city can sit complacently and see
the Board Of Street and Sewer Directors
expend thousands Of dollars upon the
outlying districts. There never was q
more gross imposition upon the tax
payers.
Rsal estate speculators buy track OF
land on the outskirts of the city They
have streets laid out and grades and
building lines established. The squsres
are then cut up in building lots and sold
at big profit
Next thing we hear Of a petition being
presented to the Board Of Street and
Sewer Directors to have the streets
graded and paved and too often, they
succeed In getting what they ask.
We understand that one Of the projects
OF the Board of Street and Sewer Dir
ectors for the current year is the mscAd-
amizIng OF the Boulevard on the north
side Of the Brandy wine. The thousands
OF dollars which will be expended therS
could bs much m,re sdvAntageously apl
piled In the city proper, where dozens Of
streets lined on both sides With substan .
tlal houses are sadly In need OF proper
attention from the Bard OF Street aud
Sewer Directors.
We do not blame the men who are In
terested 10 the north side real estate en-
terpslse for making application for such
an Improvement at the expense OF tax
payers who live on streets which are, 20
say the least, pso.ly paved, put we do
blame the directors for granting their
petition to the detIiment and depriva
tion OF more deserving sections Of the
city.
1t seems that the directors havs played
into the hands Of these real estate spec
ulators In the same manner. II not to the
same degree that the Republican Levy
Court did In building for their benefit a
800 600 bridge at the expense Of the
taxpayers of the entire county, many of
whom will never see the bridge much
less use It,
Those persons who own property on
ship'ey, Orange, Tatnsll, Madison, Mon
roe, Walnut, Spruce. Lombard and the
many other streets which are In such
deplorable condition, should rise to a man
and demand that the Boulevard ard
every other street laid out to serve the
purposes OF land spectators walt It's turn
Ia the matter Of paving.
Some Of the streets within the city
proper have been left In bad condition
for years while other and newer streets
have secured all the Advantages Of the
money raised by taxation or loans. The
time has come when 1t should cease.
Concerted sction on the part Of the tax
payers residing or owning property on
these neglected streets would bring the
BoRrd OF Street and Sewer Directors to its
senses and compel It TO depart from It's
present policy which is both unfair and
dishonest, for It is taxing the many for
the benefit OF the few, and those few the
least deserving Of public favor.

Republicans Carry the State by an E5ti-
mated Majority of $4,000.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4,-Returns indi-
cate that Mckinley has carried Indiana
by plurality Of $4,000. The Republic
ans have carried both branches Of the
legislature, insuring the election of o
Republican United States senator.
They have also elected 10 of the 10
members Of congress.
Chairman Gowdy of the Republican
State committee sent the following tele-
gram to Mark Hanna: Indiana viii
give Mckinley a plurality of 10000.
Eleven Republican congressman will be
Elected, two in doubt. We will carry
both branches of the legislature by a
safe majority"
Chairman Martin of the Democratic
committee said; "On account of the
fact that returns have been received
only from cities, where Democratic
losses were anticipated, no estimate OF
any reliability can be made. Later re-
turns from country districts will show
large Democratic gains and still be-
ieve they will more than equal the
losses in the centers of population. But
few returns have been received by any
one and these are not sufficient to hast
any accurate estimate upon"
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-11-06

CHICAGO, Nov 4.-The returns re-
ceived by the Associated Press indicate
the probable election of Mckinley and
Hobart, although returns are so meager
from a number of doubtful states that
this conclusion can only be reached by
an estimate based upon the gains and
losses.
The best estimates attainable indicate
that Maine and Vermont have given
majorities somewhat reduced from the
September elections; that New Hamp-
shire gives about 100000; Massachusetts,
about 10000, and Rhode Island Con-
necticut proportionate majorities, all for
Mckinley; New York is estimated at
above $50, 900 and Pennsylvania is likely
to reach the same figure, if not a
greater.
Maryland has been carried for the
Republican candidate for president by
majority exceeding 90 900 and Delaware
is confidently claimed but apparently in
dispute, although the plurality is not
likely to exceed 1000 The returns from
West Virginia are not sufficient to JUS
tify the claim of either party.
Ohio has given very large Repub'
hcan plurality and Kentucky is appar-
emily assured to the Mckinley column,
although later returns may not justify
this claim. Tennessee seems to have
been carried by Bryan, notwithstanding
the confident assertions to the contrary
of the Republican managers and the
same is probably true of North Carolina
Indiana and Michigan, as well as
Minnesota, indicate heavy Republican
gains aud strong possibility that they

The news on this page is sent THE
HERALD from the American Press
Association. 1t comes from as re-
liable source as we could obtain,
but, unfortunately, all the news
facilities of the country are owned
and controlled by Republicans. The
news, before it reaches the press,
goes through Republican hands, and
comes to the people with Republican
colorings. Whatever is Republican
is given with a flourish; whatever
is Democratic, is made to read doubt
full. Not being able to obtain what
we believe to be impartial news, we
are compelled to give Republican
"claims" and estimates. The re-
turns received later-and to be found
on another page, are based on tele-
phone messages from Democratic
headquarters at Nashville, and they
indicate the feeling of Democratic
leaders, in and outside of Tennessee.
The returns as sent THE HERALD
by the American Press Association,
read as follows:
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-11-06

have gone for Mckinley. Illinois will
give Mckinley over 100, 900 plurality. Ne
braska and North and South Dakota
are very close and still in doubt Wy
oming seems to have gone for McKin-
ley.
The returns from the Pacific coast
states are too meager to justify any
claim respecting them. The states of
Virginia, South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Missouri, Colorado, Nevada, Montana
and Idaho may safely be placed in the
Bryan column.
The returns from Kansas and Texas
are scattering and indicate nothing, al
though heavy Republican gains are re-
ported from Dallas and Galveston.
In response to kilograms requesting
the best and most reliable conservative
estimates Of the majority or plurality in
the different states, Associated Press
correspondents at the different state
capitols sent the following: Mckinley,
Maine, $4,000; New Hampshire, 5000 /;
Vermont, 8S,OO0 Massachusetts, $780,
900; Rhode Island, 10000; Connecticut,
10000: New York, 275, 900; New Jer-
sey, $4,000; Pennsylvania, $4,000; Del
aware, 1000; Wyoming, doubtful.
The following states are conceded at
Republican headquarters to Bryan AL
ALBANIA, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada.
The following states are claimed by
the Republicans, although the returns
are too meager to justify the assertion
that they are sure for Mckinley: Cali

The following states are admitted tC

Vice Chairman Payne summarized
the situation as follows:

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 4.-The latest
returns from the several counties of
New Jersey with proportionate estimate
for the unreported precincts indicate
that Mckinley will carry the state by
from 1000 to $4,000.
The Republican elect six of the eight
congressman with the indications that
Pitney, Republican also has carried the
Fourth district by 200. Young, Demo-
crat, has probably carried the Seventh
district by $500.
The Republicans have elected six of
the eight state senators and probably 40
of the go assemblymen and will have
large majority in both houses of the
state legislature
In other respects owing to the division
of the Republican party into two fac
tons the Democrats have been success

ernor and Handy to congress by about

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 4.-Returns re-
ceived up to this hour warrant the be-
lief that Connecticut has gone Repub-
hcan by at least 10000. Various Re-
publican papers are unanimous in claim
ing the state for Mckinley by $4,000.
Enormous Republican gains are report
ed in almost every section of the state.
The Republican state ticket is elected
by majorities ranging from $4,000 to
10000. The four Republican congress-
men are elected by largely increased
majOrities and the state legislature will
be overwhelming Republican.
