warm TO Eoosevclt-His Claims.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-ScnatoNT Plat
gave out the following statement To-
night:
The Democratic campaigners mana
gers at the Hoffman House seem 10 be
out of campaign material. Before Colohei
Theodore Roosevelt was nominated Tor
Governor. the Tammany tax COMMISSION
ers attempted to question his eligibility.
They quickly dropped that issue Ihey
then announced that they would make an
attack upon the judiciary as one OF their
issues: that did not turn out right. Ihey
then fnuzzied all Of their candidates on
the money issue. Not a single Demo-
cratic candidate has been allowed TO say
a word on this vital issuse Of the cam
paign. That issue has proved disastrous
To the Democrats.
$50 utterly demoralized are our Demo-
cratic adversaries that the issue an
nounced by them is the personal SANDER
against me. They have caused it to
be announced that 1 am lukewarm on the
ticket headed by Colonel Theodore RoOse-
Welt. | would not pay the slightest at
tention 10 such "A Islander If IL were not
for the fact that our adversaries have
peddled this story all over the state. II
Is a baseiess. sianderous faisehood The
Republican party. the Republican party's
organization in the State and in Greater
New York. even TO the humblest man IN
the rank. has been working day and night
faithfully and Loyalty for The election OF
The Republican State candidates Tor
Governor and for the Legislature.
The sound money allies OF the RepuDii-
can party in this fight have also worked
as they never worked before. The bust
ness men. the workingmen and ali classes
of citizens are determined that Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and his associates on
the State ticket and all other candidates
for office who stand upon the sound mon
ev principles laid down in 81. Louis, In
1896. shall be elected on next Tuesday
Colonel Roosevelts election and the cleo
ton Of his associates on the State ticket
is assured belond the shadow of doubt
The Legislature will be Republican by
n good majority on joint ballot, and
great delegation Of Republican Congress
man will be sent to Washington from
New York State to sit in the House OF
Representatives.
Finally and with fervor ! wish 10 say
again that the Democratic SANDER that l
am lukewarm to the Republican ticket
demonstrates the utter Generalization or
the Democratic campaigners. II Is Is too
ridiculous and too untrue for further
comment"

An Interesting Letter.

Feb. 18th 1898.
DR.. J. J. McKanna, San Antonio, Texas,
My dear Sir
After having given your treatment
q thorough test think it about time
to let you know the result. AS you
know, when 1 began taking your
treatment could drink from 10 drinks
to q small sized barrel of "Red Eye" q
day and then not have enough.
After the second days treatment I
think 1 was entirely cured, except
nervousness, which it took several
weeks to wear off.
My stomach was At the time in very
bad shape, not being able to hold
anything on it, but is all right now,
and the only fault have to find with
the treatment is that man will have
to own q bank in order to be able to
buy enough to eat.
Have lately seen some of the other
patients who wese at your sanitarium
when I was. They are all. we'll and
none of them are drinking.
Should you desire to refer to me, 1
would be pleased to answer any in
ouiries concerning what call SURE
CURE for the Liquor HABIT and
stomach troubles. With be, reg .rds,
Yours truly,

A DISAGREEMENT.

Again today, as many times before,
there was good sized crowd on the
post Office steps waiting for the z: P.
mail to sbe distributed. Cap:. Dillon
had been out and in going
up the steps he noticed that
some one had been chewing tobacco
and literally covering the steps with
the filthy spit. He remarked that
"any one who would do such a thing as
that wasn't fit to live with hog"
Calhoun Davis, says Capt. Dillon,
was the one who had been doing the
splitting and he took offence at the re-
mark; as the captain was going in the
side door to the elevator Davis came
up and was going to hit him. Mr..

Davis any longer. Presently Ohicer
Dryer, having been told at the station
about being wanted at the custom
| house, went up there as fast as he
could.
CAPTAIN Dillon told him what was the
matter, and asked to have Mr.. Davis
arrested; Officer Dryer started out to
make the arrest but he came back and
said that he couldn't make the arrest
unless the collector would go down and
make complaint against Davis so
that warrant could be made out for
| him to serve, since the officer did not
see Davis violating the law.
| Officer Dryer stated that he was
making the arrest of Bob Moreland a
the time, and that that was the reason
he was not on his beat, but that some
of the other officers ought to have

Thieves Captured.

Yesterday morning lack White was
notified by the hired man of w. T.
Wells that some one during the night
before had entered the stable and
stolen two entire sets of harness, with
some collar, and other articles. Mr..
White is looking after the stable for
Mr.. Wells while he is out OF town.
Mr.. White notified Officer Geo. Her.
old, who at once started out to catch
the thieves. 1t was found by the
tracks in front of the barn that there
hadbeen three men connected with
the robbery, as the ground was mud
dy from the rains the night before,
and three tracks of different sizes
led from the door where the thieves
had got in.
About three O'Clock Officer Herold
and Mr.. White had about located the
rendezvous, when the ring leader of
the gang hunted up Oficer Franco
and told him long cock and bull story
about some Mexicans having left lot
of harness at his house and he bel eyed
that it was stolen property. Officer
Franco took in the story and the man
and two women that were residing in
the same house. When they had been
placed in jail Mr.. White went to see
the man, and as soon as he saw his feet
be saw that the boot the man wore
tracks in front of the barn; the boot
was taken off the man and placed in
the track and found to fit exactly.
Early yesterday the Mexican bridge
guard captured some of the missing
harness and caught two of the men who
had it. and he turned them and the
harness over to the customs guard, ,
who carelessly let the two men get
away. But as the officers have a good
hot trail they think it will be only q
short time before they will have those
two behind the bars with the ring
leader.
Thu leader of this gang is an ex-
convict, and while in the ,penitentiary
he learned the art of making keys.
Now that he is out he turns that
knowledge to such good effect that it
will give him another free ride over
the road. These are the same men
who broke into the hardware store OF
Messrs. Tannersand Pennybaker. A
good deal of their property was recov-
cred also.
