Brynn's Vote in the south



Some of the newspapers OF the East
have been loudly claiming since the re-
cent presidential contest that the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan was a great blow
TO the Democratic party I'm the South. II
is claimed that I'm comparison with the
vote of 1892. the Democratic loss in tho
recent election was signally heavy
Of course. fl is not intended by these
organs 10 reflect upon the personal char
acter Of Mr.. Bryan. but rather upon
the platform adopted by the Chicago con-
vcntion SO far as the qualifications Of
Mr.. Bryan as great leader are con
cerncd. every fair-mindcd critic mus.
recognize his commanding genius, bur
even with respect TO the platform on
which he stood. the wisdom Of the con-
vention has been overwhelmingly APP
proved by southern Democrats.
Instead of losing votes in this section
IL is shown by the returns that 5000
more votes were cast for the Democrat
ticket i'm the last election than in 1892
The following table gives the exact
Gprree.

.'boos," their cause Tremendously. For
one thing, II would send up the price OF
their bonds and would thus give the
Cubans funds ample for their purposes.
Further, II would enable the Cuban Gov
eminent TO buy openly in our markets
certain articles. which they have to pur-
chase surreptitiously now. SO II the Span
iards can now barely keep the Cubans out
of Habana. how could they then hope to
control those bclligerent patriots? The
rceult. In the opinion OF many, would be
that Spain would declare war against the
United states. with the view Of having
its national honor soothed by losing Cuba
TO nation OF sevonty-odd millions, IN
stead OF TO an insursent army Of about
thirty-fve thousand.
This might or might not be the result
Who knows? The creditors OF Spain at
London and Paris might persuade her to
adopt a more sensible csurse. They have
very little security for their holdings
now; after Spain got through with a war
with the United States they would have
much less sccurity-perhaps none at all
SO there can be no doubt that the Pres
dents message to Congress will be
awaited with eager interest. At the last
session. both houses Of Congress en-
phaticaly expressed their opinion that
Cuba should be recognized as a belliSe-
rent power. and in view of the continued
failure of Spanish arms upon Cuban sou
since, it may be supposed that members
are now willing to so much farther.
That our country has duty to do Is
becoming palmer and palmer. Perhaps
the message Of the President may make
this so conclusive that Congress and him
self will be hereafter as one on the sub
iect They were apart when Congress
adjourned: but it may be that the result
OF Fitz Lees observations at Habana has
been to make clear now what was obscure

THE MUNICIPAL QUESTION.

a meeting of the Board Of Aldermen
has been called for this evening, to con
slider the propriety Of taking from the
table the report Of the Committee on
Retrenchment and Reform; said report
having been adopted by the Common
Council. and transmitted to the Board for
its concurrence.
We find no indisposition upon the part
of members Of the Board to shirk their
duty in the matter Of reducing the city's
expenses; but, as IS natural, there IS
much diversity Of opinion among them
as to how this may be done best. Where

this, too. without being accused Of will

Another Illustration Of the marvellous

opinion of oculists that If this spot could
be located trephining could be performed
and the sight restored.
The girl was placed under the y rays,
but. although her head was completely
permeated by the rays no special lesion
could be located. The head was so trans

Rochester, n. Y.
NEW womAN as REFEREE.
She Appears ia Real Estate sales
room, for n Client.

(New York Journal)
The new woman has made her debut
as referee in a real-estate auction sale.
Miss Anita Hetherington Haggerty is
this new woman. Men lawyers, who have
been having everything their own way
at the Broadway auction-roOm. must
look out for their laurels hereafter. In
deed, 10 tell the unveiled truth, some Of
them did betray signs Of uneasiness when
the young woman tripped into the sales
room at a little before noon yesterday
Perhaps, tripped is not an appropriate
term 10 apply 20 the walk of a woman
lawyer but then this woman lawyer is
very young and very pretty, and all
young and pretty women trip.
Certain il IS that the men referees who
have grown gray plucking the plums
that have come their way, blushed when
Miss Haggerty came in. attended by a
man lawyer friend. and took her place
before and a little to the right Of the
auctioneers' stand, where she was to
hold charge. Some Of them, in an eX-
change Of condolences. confessed that
their emotion was due to an excess OF
gallant interest in the advent Of the
fair coreferee.
"She is very trim" remarked Referee
Daniel W. Patterson. who was there TO
| sell some flats In Harlem.
How youngr' exclaimed Lewis l.. De-
laheld, as he looked up from the terms
of a Observation-Disclosures sale that he
was examining.
THE more the merrier." quoth S. T. II.
Ward. who had a Third-avenue foreclo-
sure 70 referee.
"She won't DO a thing 10 us" laughed
Thomas T.. DOnnelly In a serio-comic
aside 70 Auctioneer william VI. Ryan,
who had one eye on the legal notice OF
an Eleventh-avenue sale and the other
on the young woman.
Auctioneer John $. Mapes. who was TO
do the selling for Miss Haggerty. was at
his best In that happy way Of his he
raised his hat and invited the young wo-
man referee 10 a position beside him on
| the stand, the vantage ground always as
sumed by men referees
"Oh. no. thank YOU" protested Miss
Haggorty. Il can manage very nicely
| here" and she looked smilingly in the
| face Of her lawyer escort, who was
Henry G.. *. Heath, attorney for the
| plaintiff in this sale.
As the reading Of the legal preamble
proceeded Miss Haggerty showed a lively
interest in her novel surroundings. IL
seemed pity that her first sale should
4 be attended with so little of the action
that frequently animates an auction sale.
| There was no outside interest in the sale,
no contests, no bidders 70 br0wbeat or
conciliate no shedding Of blood TO avert,
80 that for her first appearance Anita
Hetherington Haggerty, referee, had
rather tame time Of it.
Ii took Auctioneer Mapes but a moment
or two to knock down the property in
| volved in the foreclosure. a couple Of
| houses and lots at the southwest corner
| of Boone aveude and Charlotte place. in
| what is known as the Vyse estate.
Miss Haggerty receives 80 for her ser
vices as referee. She is booked for an
