pens that Boss Croker hears only one side
OF campaign issues, except what he reads
in the newspapers and what Jimmy Car
roll tells him.
Breathing the atmosphere he does. it is
small wonder that Boss Croker has supreme
confidence in the successful outcome of his
campaign. Having seen wonderful success
attend bis efforts in organizing the New
YORK Democracy and bringing all elements
to recognize him as the leader, he has ac-
qufred self-confidence to a degree which
never before distinguished him. This con-
hdence takes the form of gambling on the
outcome of the election. 1t is said that a
large part of the money which has been
placed in the hands of bookmakers to bet
on Van Wyck is from the private funds of
Croker and Carroll. And why should they
not bet? If they lose they have only to
reach down in the Tammany campaign

how much of a fund only one man knows,
and that is the head of Tammany Hall. How
the money is diSbursed is a matter which
concerns himself alone and whoever he NAV
take into his confidence. Tammany looks
to the results; if the boss cannot point to
a success he has to give way to a new
faVorite. 1t is no crime for a Tammany
boss to hold out enough to enrich himself
and his friends. Such a course is regarded
as legitimate and as the rightful fruits of
the victorious leadership.
Many people in New York believe there is
an awful awakening in store for Boss
Croker and that the count of the ballots

Fighters from Porto Rico Given an
Ovation at Columbus.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 1.-THE Fourth
Ohio Volunteer Infantry was given a royal
welcome by the people of Columbus and
vicinity to-day. AS this was the only volun-
teer regiment from this State that partici-
pated in a battle in the war with
Spain, more than ordinary inter
est was manifested in its home
coming. Four of the twelve companies in
the regiment were from this city. The train
bearing the regiment arrived shortly after
IL o'clock. An escort composed of the Sew
enteenth United States Infantry and large
number of civic organizations that made
an imposing procession, met the regiment
at the depot. Two ambulances were at the
depot, but there was no need for them. The
men, though showing slightly the effects of
their hard campaign in Porto Rico, were in
good condition and marched with steady
ranks over the entire route selected for the
parade. Never has larger crowd of peo-
pie thrOnged the streets, and thousands
stood for hours shivering in the cold wind.
The regiment was reviewed by Governor
Bushnell at the Capitol. Colonel Colt was

was almost buried beneath a huge bunch

spread before them,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-While President
McKinley's formal announcement has not
been rendered in the court-martial case Of
Captain o. NJ. Carter, United States en-
gineer corps, it is understood the President
will promulgate his decision before leaving
for Ohio tomorrow. Dishonorable dis
charge from the army, five years in the
penitentiary or in lieu of Imprisonment to
pay fine of $500. is the sentence the Pres
ident intends to impose on Captain Carter
as the result of his court-martial on charges
of conspiring to defraud the United States
government. The verdict of the court
martial was somewhat different from this.
The court-martial found him guilty of most
of the charges preferred against him, and
sentenced him to be dismissed from the
service, to be confined in the penitentary
for five years, and TO pay fine of $1,000
for his offense, findings and sentence to be
publicly placarded at his place of residence.
-Four specific charges were brought against
Captain Carter, and it is said the findings
of the court were against him on every
count. The charges were as follows:
'First--Conspiring to defraud the United
States in violation of the sixtieth article of
war.
'Second-Causing false and fraudulent
claims to be made against the United States
in violation of the sxtieth article of war.
'Third-Conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman in violation of the sixty
firs@ article of war.
Observation-Disclosures as defined in
Section 54Ss. Revised Statutes''
Captain Carter at the time the above
charges were brought against him was in
charge of harbor improvements and forti-
fications at Savannah. The embezzlement
consisted of appropriating to his own uses
some two million dollars. He was con-
sidered one of the most efficient officers of
the engineer corps. Captain Carter was
entered at the West Point Military Acad-
envy June, 1876, credited to Ohio. He grad
uated with high honors June 1880. and was
commissioned second lieutenant in the en-
gineer corps. He reached the grade of
captain in the corps in 1891.

Brewers In Politics.
New York Special in Chicago Post.

The brewers have not put ali their eggs
into one basket. They have made heavy
contribution to the Tammany campaign
fund, but they are spending a great deal of
money in their own way it is said, and
through their own agents. 1t transpires
that they are not combining their work en-
tirely to the city and State of New York
as some suppose, but that they are spread
ing themselves all over the East, Middle
West and West-in fact wherever beer is
manufactured in considerable quantities. 1t
is their main effort to demonstrate their
power as a factor in national politics, and
they are ambitious to have in Congress a
formidable delegation pledged to the repeal
of that part of the war tax law which inn
poses an additional tax of 81 a barrel on
beer. They are supposed to be industriously
working to that end in New York. Pitts

The Raines law was conceived originally
by group Of rich brewers and liquor deal
ers. The theory that moved them to de-
wise the legislation was that such a law
would save the liquor dealers and saloon

lunches, that ii would reduce the number
of dives and thereby elevate the standard
Of the business. and that IL would save

other reasons. great many saloon keepers

NEW ALBANY Ind, Nov. e.--The pclit-
ical campaign closed in this county last
night with Republican and Democratic
meetings addressed by Gen. Jasper Packard
and Edwin f. Galley, respectively. The Re-
publicans are working quietly but effective
ly and the leaders are very confident of
success. The legislative contest has been
very warm, but wagers are being made
that Joseph F. Rutledge for representative
will be elected. General Packard for joint
senator of Floyd and Harrison counties has
a harder fight. However. he believes he
will secure majority in Harrison county
in which case he will in all probability be
elected. DR.. j. S. McPheeters for joint rep
resentative of Floyd, Clark and Washing
ton counties is making an earnest canvass,
but is handicapped by a good sized Demo-
cratic majority which must be overcome.
From indications the county election will
be close, but the Republicans are confident
that at least one-half of the ticket will be
elected, as was the case two years ago. In
1892 Cleveland carried Floyd county by 1852
majority, but it Is no longer considered a
Democratic stronghold, as Mckinley car
ried it in 1896 by 342 The Republican lead
ers expect the city Of New Albany to give
a Republican majority of at least 450 and
claim the Democrats cannot overcome it in
the county.

MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 6.-The Republican
campaign closed in the Eighth congressional
district last night with over a half hundred
speeches made in different towns and at
country school houses in the seven counties,
Senator Charles w. Fairbanks being the
speaker in this city. His meeting at the
Wysor Grand Opera House attracted big
crowd. which listened attentively for two
hours. Democrats to-day express hope of
electing Judge o. j. Lott to Congress, who,
like Mr.. Cromer. his Republican opponent,
resides in this city. They place his majority
at from 500 to 1900, while the Republicans
concede but two counties to Lott, namely,
Adams and Wells, both Democratic strong
holds. They count on carrying Jay by from
300 to 500, Blackboard by from 400 to 1000,
1000 and Delaware by from 1900 to 5000, and
the election of Mr.. Cromer by from 1850
to $500 votes. Regardless of the fact that
Mr.. Cromer has just retired from four

Chairman H. H. Hanna, of the Indian
apolis monetary conferences executive COM
mlttee, issues a strong appeal to citizens of
all parties, urging the election of sound
money men to Congress this fall. The
country is evidently on the eve of an era of
business prosperity; all the material condi-
lions favoring great activity in trade with
fair margins of profit to all, producers, for
WarderS, merchants, manufacturers and
bankers. The people are everywhere ready
to take advantage of good opportunities to
labor, to create property, to effect exchanges
at home and abroad, to develop natural re-
sources, to establish new undertakings-in
word, to make money and to accumulate
wealth. Fortune favors US even more d1-
rectly than ever before; great crops of the
leading staples at home and open markets
abroad giving us basis for business the
like of which no nation, not even our own,
ever before enjoyed. The war is over Our
soldiers are coming home. We are ready to
There is but one cloud to darken this fair
prospective shadow of the Chicago plat
form; but one danger to threaten the post
ponement of the good time coming-the dam
ger of reputation. 1t Is in vain that the
Democratic partisans declare that local and
only local questions are at issue in this cam
paign. There are local questions at issue,
but their right settlement everywhere CO.
incideS with the right settlement of this
great national question of sound money. If
the country can be assured, the morning
after the election, that the House of Repre-
sentatives will have a strong sound-money
majority the people of all the land will rise
UP and go forward in serene confidence that
the bright promises of prosperity will be
fully realized. On the contrary, not one
clear-headed business man will hesitate to
recognize the indisuptable fact that the
news of the election Of a Democratic House
would fall like a wet blanket on our finan-
cial industrial and commercial interests,
from end to end of the land. To realize
how inevitable would be the disastrous con-
sequences following such an election, it is
only necessary to consider that it would in
volve the threat of putting into legislative
form the financial proposition of the Demo-
rIf-raFe
threat would unquestionably bring about
panic like that of 1888 a panic attributable
TO the same cause-namely. the undermining
of confidence in the maintenance of gold
payments.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. 6.-There is a
serious Cabinet crisis in Newfoundland.
Sir Herbert Murray, the Governor demands
the resignation Of NJ. Morine, minister OF
finance. The ostensible reason is that NJ.
Morine is the general counsel of Mr.. Reid,
the railway contractor, but the real cause
is the continued friction between Governor
Murray and the minister. NJ. Morine, in
rendering his resignation, points out that
Sir William Whiteway, the former premier,
and Messrs. Emerson and Morris, members
of the late Cabinet, held a similar relation
to the contractor, and that Sir Herbert Muir
ray acquieSced in the arrangement in all
three cases He reminds the Governor also
that he has been aware ever since April
last of his (Morine's) relation to Mr. Reid,
and insists that the Governors omission to
interfere before stamps his action now as
personal and vindictive 1t is feared that
complications will arise, wrecking the Cab

tons regarding the French treaty shore al
