This is one OF the days on which history

a question of both men and principles.
The choice OF men is between q ROOSEVELT
and a CROKER. Never was q sharper con-
trast set up before honest Americans for
selection and election. The alternative as
to principles is likewise clearly drawn
Patriotism, honor, fnancialIintegrity, ju-
dicial honesty and independence, pure gov
eminent, public decency, and private self
respect are lined up against their opposites.
It is one way or the other that the ballots
to-day will turn the result.
Such is the local issue, reaching far and
wide, with consequences innumerable to
the veal or woe Of State and nation.
Provide yourself. therefore, this morning

Of the Republican column an emphatic

lead of the pencil be neither so hard as
to scratch or tear through the paper.
nor SO soft as to smudge the record Of an
honorable action. Sharpen the pencil for
business at the polls. Use 1t in the manner
indicated, and for no other purpose. Two
strokes will do the job.
Then put your Roosevelt pencil Of 1898
away In some place Of dignity and safety,
to be preserved while you live as q souvenir

q badge Of good American citizenship. 1t
will be something for your children's chill

How to Render tho Greatest Service to
the Hon. Augustus Van Wycl.

Help to keep him out Of the Tigers cage.
His career up to the time Of the Syracuse
Convention had been respectable, IL not
illustrious. Not a breath Of scandal touched
1t. He sat upon the bench, as all mel be-
lieved, the master Of his own mind, such as
1t may be.
He was happy until the baleful glance Of
RICHARD CROKER rested upon him in his
respectable political ~obscurlty; happy until
CROKER beckoned to him.
The future before this plain, ordinary
Brooklyn gentleman, in case the immense
misfortune OF election to be CBoKER's Gov
ernor OF New York should befall him, is
enough to make the imagination shudder. A
plurality Of votes for AUGUSTUS VAN WICK
to-day consigns him to the Tigers cage
as the moro or less willing servant
Of an memorable and now self-infatuated
masters will. Along future of moral and
intellectual incarceration, uncomfortable
and degrading servitude, stretches out be-
fore the Hon. AUGUSTUS VAN WICK In case
the election goes his way.
Defeat to-day means for him escape, de-
liverance, intellectual and moral freedom
henceforth.
Are you interested In the fate Of this IN
fortunate mar who started for the Tigers
cage when CROKER beckoned?
The greatest service you can render to
AUGUSTUS VAN WICK to-day Is to help vote
him out of RICHARD CRoKEB's power by
voting against him for Governor.

Supposed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Investigation this
morning shows that the damage to the Capitol
by the explosion and fire last night was very
much less than was supposed. Mr.. Elliot
Wood. assistant architect OF the Capitol. under
whose direction the repairs will be made, after
an examination this morning. says that the
foundations are not disturbed. and that the
former condition OF affairs can be restored by
the time Congress meets. The cost OF repairs
to the building will not exceed $4,000 or
$4,000.
