WOLCOTT ONCE MORE
REPUBLICANS GET MASSACHUSETTS,
BY DECREASED PLURALITY.
Total Vote in the State but Little More
Than Half That Of Last Yesr-Dein-

~. 40. tive Seats. &@l&

Boston, Nov. 8.-The Republicans
swept the state by a substantial major.
ity. electing their entire ticket as well
as three-quarters of the members of
both branches of the legislature.
The apathy which marked the entire
campaign extended to the election,
although the stormy weather which
prevailed all day probably accounted
for a considerable portion of the de.
crease in the vote. The tremendous
majority which last year elected Gov.
ernor Wolcott, fell off considerably
while George Fred Williams, the Demo
cratic leader, also suffered. bat not
nearly as much. Last year the Repub-
icans, after a vigorous campaign on
national issues, rolled up vote Of 1885,.
900, but such was the lack Of interest
this year that the vote fell to 1874 900, q
plurality Of 81, 600 over Williams. The
Democrats, (
Pursuing . More Vigorous Course,
received 5000 votes as compared with
1OS, 200 last year, while, the National
Democrats not only came within 100 Of
their vote Of ii, 1874 last year, but actu.
ally made. q gain Of 2 per cent in ratio

more than the necessary 8 per cent will

In ratio to last year, the Republican
vote fell off IS per cent, the Democratic
Is, and the National Democratic l.
There were few close contests for seats
in either branch Of the legislature, but
singularly enough nearly all resulted
in victories for the Democrats, SO that
there will be four less Republicans in
the 1893 house than in 1897. As the
Republican majority will be about l75
the few defeats will make no difference.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 2O.-A new
peril is besetting the miners of the
Klondike That perennial fata NOR
CANA, the Indian legend, is leading the
ever credulous gold seeker TO starva-
ton and possible death This time it
is known as 'Too Much Coli" creek.
The story goes that, hidden far
north of Dawson City, is a creek which
no white man has ever viewed. Along
the banks of this creek is the mother
lode. or the source from which the gla-
.ciers of ancient days tore AWAY the
gold that has formed the placer mines
of Alaska and the klondihe. Much
credence is given to the statement by
many of the miners, for the reason tilat
scientists claim that the mother lode
of the Alaska gold fields is within 40o
miles of where the first strike was
made.
I cannot tell you. what Il l:e~utul
phantasm this legend is. OF course
there is no truth in it. In all prooa-
bility the tale originated in the mouth
of some Indian who. for the sake of
securing something from a party OF
white men, told what he ella med to be
mart of this momentous secret OF ZOO
Much Cold creek. The reason aileS-
&C for the Indians keep.nS the locatl on
of his secret is that they feared the
effe,. ci a find Of such tremendous
value upon the white man. 10 men
who know the Indian, this philarthrop-
ic sDirit is in the light of a gigantic
Joke. The idea of an Indian being So
licitous of the welfare OF white man
is so supremeIy ridiculous that 1t ner-
it's not even a moments consideration
One of the returned Klondikers, IN

story. and [ recollect hearing vague

But now come tales to US of death ana

sulting from men forsaking all else
and cleaving to the search for this

HIiIIers May Rebuild a Base Bali
park Down Town.

It is extremely probable that there will be no
more Western league games played at Nlco!-
let park. says the Tribune. Next season Will
see a new ball park erected down town. me
local base ball management seriously doupled
the wisdom Of establishing park so far out
of town when they were forced to hurrledly
build in the middle of the season OF 96, but
certain outside considerations induced them
to do so, despite that fact. Even with pen
nant-winning team, the fact was apparent
that it was impossible. to attract the crowds
to Nicollet park that would have Hooked to
Athletic park The truth has been established
that a team that is not in the very front
rank cannot draw people so far frcm the
center of the city. Had the park been down
town this year larger crowds would have at
tended the games despite the fact that the
team was losing. The management very
nearly decided to build down town last spring,
but finally thought that it would hold out one
year longer at Nicoliet park, inasmuch as
some money had been invested in that park.
When the team of '06 was summarily dis
missed from Athletic park the management
almost decided to build the vacant lots
back Of Athletic park, but later changed its
mind, on account of the lack Of time in which
to grade. The present management is seri-
ously considering reverting to the original
location, and in all probability will put up
fine park in the spring on the property re-
ferred to. This; would be splendid location,
and would bring in more than enough extra
to pay for the expense in fitting it up.
