Taeir Rival Shows.

~0R a time 1t looked as If Governor
r. Bushnell might reap undue ad-
| vantage from the demonstra-
tions incident TO Inauguration day at
Columbus. With a purpose not mis-
understood, the members of the Bush
nell faction propose to make this occa-
sion more brilliant than inauguration
days at Columbus are wont to be.
Mr. Hanna has made up his mind
that in anticipation of the telling work
of next Tuesday night counter dem
onstration becomes a necessity. The
city of Columbus is to be made twice
glad next Monday, for Mr.. Hanna has
arranged a mass convention for that
day--a convention that will be for
Hanna, and no mistake about it. The
call is out; it goes to all the country
by the press service, and 1t Is an in
teresting contribution to 0hio's sena-
torial literature.
This call flies high. 1t asserts that a
pledge more sacred was never given
than the promise made by the state
convention of last year that Hanna
should have the short term and the
long term. The call recites the fact
that "a few conspirators" who do not
"love the great and beneficient princi-
pies of our party are entering into
an unholy alliance which the call
itself admits is likely to win unless
something happens pretty soon to put
a stop to the present tendencies.
| The truth is. the republican party IN
| Ohio meant to shape its voting last
| November in such way as To beat
| Mr.. Hanna--the official returns on the
| legislative tickets make that evident.
| Still it is certain that Mr. Hanna Will

something well worth going To. 1t will

expense of State Senator Gar

who was commissioned TO convert
Bushnell and thus put to flight the en-
emies of Hanna. Garfield believed he
could do it. He called on the governor
and engaged in conversation which
led gradually up TO the point where
Garfield asked Bushnell why he did not

a Remarkable Misiit.

@EoPLE who take the trouble TO
put Mr.. Hanna's loud appeal To
the Toledo platform alongside
Congressman Grosvenors noisy raid on
the civil-servicc law, will discover
remarkable misfit Two days ago the
Standard called attention to this Toledo
platform. 1T was adopted at the Ohio
republican convention held last June.
That was Mr. Hanna's convention. He
made it, by careful attention to the
primaries throughout the state, and
after it was made he bossed it.
The Toledo convention had Congress
man Grosvenor for its temporary and
its permanent presiding officer. Its
platform included a Hanna plank and
a eivil-service plank, The first of these
named Hanna for the balance of the
sherman senatorial term and for the
following full term; the second assailed
President Cleveland for his viola
tons of the civil service law and made
a strong plea for the upholding Of that
law under Mckinley rule. Frequently,
since the session Of congress began.
Congressman Grosvenor has bitterly at
tackled the civil service law-he has
gone SO far in this as To feel compelled
To defend himself in advance against
the charge of disloyalty te President
Mckinley.
Thus we have Senator Hanna at
Columbus, insisting that the Toledo
platform is "A sort Of sanctifed affair

shocking news of the death OF

~HE shocking news of the death OF
Capt. W. T.. Hall was the theme
of conversation in many of Mon
aana's towns yesterday. In Butte espe-
cially the story of the terrible accident
that brought his career 80 ruthlessly TO
its close was regretfnlly read Captain
Hall was a man whom Butte held in
high esteem. Ills strong attachments
were for the city and its people, and 1t
lis fitting that his remains should he
brought to Butte 10 find near the hor-
ders of that city their last resting place.
In a well-merited tribute paid to him
yesterday, the Inter Mountain says:
Few men are better prepared to go
into The great beyond than William l..
Hall. but that death should come To him
while he was vet full of hope and pride
and strength and in the enjoyment Of all
ahe pleasures Of life is particularly sad,
for he was SO robust that he might
reasonably have expected twenty years

They have filled the rolls with fraud !;

Marlboro Strike Has Its Bearings on One
Town Already

Leicester, Nov. 15.-Some employees
of the c. w. Warren leather factory
have watched the progress of the strik-
ers at Marlboro with anxiety, as the S.
H. Howe factory in that place takes
large quantities of the finished product
of the Leicester shop. Now that the
strike is on they are afraid that the
Leicester shops will be forced to run
on short time through lack of orders,
or else close up entirely
A Spy man asked Walter Warren, the
manager of the shop, if there was any
truth in the rumors that the shop would
be forced to shut down. He seemed to
along as they have been doing
for five days every week. Enough or
ders are expected to be received from
other sources to enable the firm to keep
the shop running as usual. Reports
from Marlboro say that already the
grocers refuse credit to the strikers,
and Leicester people who are interested
are relying on this action having the
effect of shortening the strike.
Chairman 4. E. Smith of the select
men told a Spy reporter today that the
total cost of the fourth section of state
highway so far would amount to about
ST., 900. This will leave balance of be
tween $1,000 and $500 of the S1S,500 al

Heartless Cause Of Accident
Drives Away.

Whitinsville, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Peter La
beau met with painful and, perhaps,
fatal accident here tonight. Mrs. La
beau was driving down between the
ponds on the Meadow road when an
unknown man, supposedly Dutchman,
collided with the wagon occupied by
Mrs. Labeau. The old lady, who is
extremely heavy, was thrown out of the
wagon onto the ground. The man who
collided with Mrs. Labeau's wagon paid
no attention TO the accident, and drove
away.
1t was about an hour after the acct
dent that Mrs. Labeau was discovered
in helpless condition by passars by.
and taken to her home. Her condition
was such that she could tell but little
about the accident. and late tonight her
friends thought the chances of her re-
covery were very slight.
Mrs. Labeau has lived in and about
Whitinsville for many years, and Is
we'll known.
