gone to Sussex county. n. J.. on a hunting trip.

more acutely than in any previous campaign in
his long political career and decided that a
hunting trip in Jersey with his favorite softer
"Breese'' would be q most desirable change.

SENATOR WELLINGTON BEATEN.
In His Own County. Too-The Fiery Dick for
State Senator.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Oct. t.-Senator yelling
ton met with another crushing defeat to-day.
this time in his own county, where he vas sup
posed to be invincible. However, his opponents
may have overreached themselves, for in their
eagerncss to make a combination that would
beat what is known as the Alleeany county
ring, which includes Gov. Lowndes, they have
consented to the nomination of David K. Dick
spicuous by denouncing mine owners and capi-
talists generally, and posing as the representa-
tive of labor. So extreme was he in Ills views
that he was dubbed the Anarchist. Dick was o
miner before he became a politician, and is a
tensely bitter, and though heretofore regarded
as a Republican stronghold, it may now be car
ried by the Democrats. The Governor says he
will support the ticket, but the mine owners
will fight Dick to the death.
