substance is pretty well known. Spain
declines our offer of mediation and up
braids us for permitting tilibustering
expeditions to 90 from our coasts to
the aid of the insurgents. She outlines
at length the reforms she has offered
the rebels and expresses confidence IN
her ability to pacify the island, though
she can fix no date when this will be
likely to be accomplished. 1t is need

A member of the board Of health
said: "Do lot quote me as saying that

Election Facts aud Fancles.

Theodore Roosevelt remarked that
his opinion OF the election results was
mot fit for publication. His opinion
of Plat is tolcrably well known, how
ever and is shared by several millions
of his fellow Republicans. The disas-
ter in New York city was communi-
Gated to the state. which elected n
Democratic chief Justice by over 50.O00
plurality List year Mckinley carried
New York by over 100000. This is
tremendous change, hut not 50 full OF
significance rs might be. New York
has swung from one party to the other
and has always been considered 4
doubtful state until last year Taking
warning by it, fate last year, the New
York Democracy ignored the radical
Chicago platform and in consequence
most members who bolted in 90 voted
with it this time. The split in New
York city helped the Democratic state
ticket and the stormy weather and gen
cral apathy in the country districts
kept down the Republican vote.
Even making these allowances. how
ever, there is food Tor reflection in the
New York state election If a presi-
dental election were held tomorrow
the state would have TO be placed in
the doubtful column. though Republic
cans would welcome the trial with con-
iidcnce. The legislature has been
saved TO the Republicans

publican majority she ever gave in an

The sympathics Of Republicans gen
orally were with the Citizcu's Union in
the New York city fight TIE Union
made Il mistake in not o>,poning its
nomination of Seth Low until the Plat
crowd had Il chance to act 1t would
have been better politics TO have
waited. But Plat would probably
never have consented to the nominal
ton of man like Low. whom he could
not control. Platt's action in the cam
paign has been detestablc from the
standpoint of everybody except the
blind partisan who is willing to place
Platt's foot on his neck in order that
some nominal Republican ticket of his
dictation may represent the party of
intelligence and progress. Tracy was
nominated by Platt aS much rs Van
Wyck was nominated by Croker and
the action in both eases was an afiront
to American citizenship. More Re-
publicans voted for Low than for
Tracy, showing plainly that the Plat
machine docs not fairly represent the
voters Of the party. Why his rule is
tolerated is a mystery Instead of a
union Of the anti-Tammany forces in
favor of a man like Low. qualified in
every sense to give the city clean adj
ministration, Plat has turned the con-
troll over to Tammany and corruption

Ii begins to look as if the big fight
for control of the Central Vermont
railroad system, which was apparent
ly settled in favor of the Grand
Trunk at the recent bondholders'
meeting ia Boston, may he re.opencd.
The announcement is made that
Hon. Richard Olney, Charles L. Cot
ting and Il. Il. Cheney. trustees of
the estate OF j.. Il. Langdon, have
withdrawn the bonds of these estates
from deposit under the proposed re-
organization plan.
The amount of first mortgage
bonds owned by these estates is about
S600,000. Ii is understood that other
bondholders have also decided to
Withdraw and that steps have been
taken to promulgate an entirely new
plan of reorganization, whereby the
first mortgage bondholders will be
adequately protected
Ii will be recalled that. while the
vote in favor of the so-called Grand
Trunk scheme of reorganization was
adopted AT the recent meeting here by
decisive vote, only ~, 7S3. 300 out Of
',oOn, 600 bonds outstanding were
voted, the Cheney holdings not being
voted at ALL

new opposition are not vet ready TO
make public their exact plan of cam
paigE, but they APPEAR 10 be very
much ia earnest and it is likely that
the next few days NAV bring forth
some Interesting developments.
