WARD DEMOCRAT WANTS DEAN
He Says That Democrats Should Re-
buke Petty Politics of Mellen Ring.

To the Editor of the Spy
The year 1898 will go down in wor-
cester politics as marking the beginning
of revolt against ring management.
To the intelligent voter who desires. to
advance party interest, and who feels
that the greatest good is to be gained
by preserving party organization intact,
the events of the past few months are
decided eye-opener.
There is a great deal to be read be-
tween the lines in the Independent
movement. Men do not go into such a
movement simply for the purpose of
making themselves obnoxious or dis
agreeable, but on the contrary, they
voice the sentiment of q large, intelli-
gent and courageous constituency, who
see in the ballot the most sacred duty
that is entrusted to the care of an
American citizen, and when such men
see forced upon a ward that is popu-
louS and deeply interested in municipal
problems. incompetent and unfit candi-
dates (either from lack of intelligence
or from special Weakness it is very
natural that the common-sense and in
telligence of the people should find ex-
preston in a revolt against the machine
and the nomination of a caDdidate who
would be worthy of the suffrage of the
voters.
For several years ward has been
rapidly moving in the direction of a
large Independent vote.
The Independent in. politics has re-
| peatedly been successful, and in every
case when elected has given to his con-
stituency an honest intelligent service
that reflected the greatest credit upon
the good judgment of the mass of
| voters in the ward.
| This year should not prove any ex-
ception from the rule. In Thomas F.
| Dean the voters Of ward 4 have an op-
| portunity to cast their ballots for a
young man of experience, who is well
| qualified to serve their best interests.
Those who know him will vote for him
to man. and those who desire to see
! the interests of the people served first
and foremost should rally for Mr..
Deans election and the rebuke of the
petty politics that year after year is
driving the best material of the demo-
cratic party into the ranks of the inde-
pendents and making Worcester hope
lessly republican.

Surprise is expressed that neither of
the bills presented in congress for the
reorganization of the army deals rad
ically with the administrative branch
of the department. This might be re-
garded as an indication that Secretary
Alger and Adjutant General Corbin
consider it is humanity perfect as it is;
but what does it imply Of Gen. Miles
He does not share this belief. Anti
quated regulations, rigid and angular
executive machinery, the absepce of CO.
herence and cooperation among the
several bureaus and the stupid division
of responsibility among different Off
ces without a controlling head, contrib
uted as much as any other cause to the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the Santiago
campaign. The cure of these defects is
of more consequence than the naming
of corps, divisions, brigades and regi-
ments. What shall be our substitute
for a general staff?

SOME "REMINISCENCES
Of Chess Players Of Many Years Ago
Called Out by Pil bury's Visit.

Called Out by Pil bury's Visit.
The exhibition of the champion chess
player at the Y M. c. A., last evening,
recalls the fact that about so years ago
a chess club was formed here and,
singularly, its room was in a small
building on Elm street on the very spot
where the Y. M. c. A. building now
stands. Capt D. Waldo Lincoln was
PRESIDENT very strong player. Ed
ward Hamilton, Esq, musical composer
and president of the Mozart Society,
was very fond of playing solitaire with
a pack Of cards. The writer taught
him the game of chess. and soon he be-
came able to play one game without
seeing the board.
A young man about Is years old a
clerk in CIRCUITS book store, predecessor
of the Putnam, Davis Company. Joined
the club. He studied the game, learned
the opening and ending and became a
perfect Morphy. He played in Brinley
Hall three games simultaneously with
out seeing either board. One with
Harvard, one with Yale and one with
Amherst. He won one--I think, from
Amhertsi drew one with Yale and lost
one to Harvard. He soon left town
and diligent inquiry by the writer could
not find his whereabouts / learned
later from an officer of the Y. M. c. A.
that he went to Philadelphia and en-
gagged in business, was very successful
and made a comfortable fortune, but
gave up his wonderful feats Of chess.
Whether still living is not known. Only
two members of that original club are
now ltving-John A. Dana, Esq, and
the writer. II.

WHY VOTE FOR HIM p
A Democratic Scrutiny into Mr. Melen's
Claims for AIdermanic Reelection.

To the Editor of the Spy:
Perhaps the democratic voters of
Worcester, as a mass, may not be will
ing to admit that The Spy has the
right to offer to them advice as to their
duty at the polls tomorrow regarding
their choice between the candidates for
aldermen whose names they will find
on the official ballot when they come to
exercise their right of franchise as cit
liens of Worcester. The men of this
city who vote the democratic ticket are
as rule discerning voters, and to their
credit, be it added, they have with one
exception in the history of municipal
politics shown good Judgment, from
the party standpoint, and genuine civic
patriotism as members of the COM
munity at large, in the type of candi-
dates they have chosen for their sup
port at succeeding city elections. But
there is an exception to this rule. dis
creditable not only to the democratic
voters, but to the entire city of Wor-
cester. This exception is the almost
constant presence for a long series of
years in the public life of this city as a
prominent representative of the demo-
cratic party of Mr.. James H. MeIleu,
member-elect once more to the legis-
lature Of Massachusetts, and again a
candidate for the board of aldermen
from ward A.
So long as Mr.. Mellen remained a
representative of ward 4 to the legisla-
ture, or chairman of the democratic
city committee, and therefore director

The Nicaragua canal measure is the
regular order in the Senate this week,
and is to be under consideration until
disposed of. There has hardly been a
time in the civilized history of this
hemisphere when the ACCESSIBILITY of
linking the two oceans by cutting
through the isthmus, has not been con-
.ceded. Early in the present century,
Robert Southey, in his Life Of Mel
son" wrote; Here it is (the San Juan
River and Lake Nicaragua that a
canal between the two seas may most
easily be cut a work more important
in its consequences than any which
has ever yet been effected by human
hands"

Name at Endorsement Meeting.
Another heavy throw-down for
James Heavyweight Mellen!
AT the regular meeting of the He
brew Independent Political Club, last
evening, Worcester's ward 4 statesman
(born in WOrcester) was not even
given the honor of having his name
mentioned, and the ticket was Endorsed
without the slightest murmur in his be-
half. The only time he was referred
to was in the corridor Of the hall where
the meeting was held, when, after the
club had adjourned sine die, one former
friend of James H, said: Jim is a hard
worker" (sotto voce. with theatrical
air. for himself alone, alas! for him
self alone"
The meeting was full of enthusiasm,
and over a hundred were present. ia
cob L. Cooling presided, with ]. L.
Shorr as secretary. Harmony pre-
vailed throughout, and all the nomi-
ness met with full Endorsement. Three
republican nominees for the board of
aldermen and three democratic nomi-
nees are ON the ticket as voted for by
the Hebrews, and Mayor Rufus B.
Dodge, Jr., heads the list. Abram H.
Rheutan was also accorded the warm
favor of the club, and his name was re-
eeived with marked enthusiasm. The
complete list of Endorsements is as

The only debate of any kind wac over
the Endorsement Of A. A. Rheutan. His
record in the board of aldermen during
a previous term was considered, and
for a time the debate was warm. How
ever, his friends rallied to his support.
and his name finally received the in
dorsement of the club.
The club took fearless action on the
license question, and without fear or
favor voted against no-iicense.

The brewers who are working assidu-
ously for the repeal of the additional
dollar tax on beer complain that their
sales have already fallen off very ma
that the sales of native wines have
very greatly increased. Possibly, if
light wines can be bought at five or ten
cents a quart, as report says they can
be in New Orleans, the great consum-
ing public will take no more interest in
the woes Of the brewers than in the
lamentations Of the tobacco manufac-
turers, who foresee genuine Havana ci-
gars selling in the United States at five
cents apiece

Mary and T. were the words used by
Lord Curzon Of Kedleston, at the very
exclusive banquet given him in London,
on the eve of his departure as viceroy
of India. Curzon has won a reputation
for apt speeches, but at this banquet
he seems TO have struck a finer grade
of good fellowship than ever. The trlb-
utes that came to his American wife
from the guests could hardly have been
more fattering, and there is still some
question, which has the more influence,

1t should be understood that the state

of the Legislature establishing the hos

Gov Pingree of Michigan is a candi-

been no announcement as to when his
desire to make a positive try for the
nomination is to materialize. He may

may think it wise to wait while. The
governor has long entertained the belief
that he is of presidential size, and he
knows no reason why any other opin-
fon should be considered valuable.
