Boston, Nov. 4.-There is nothing to
indicate that tomorrow's election in
Massachusetts will prove to be any
thing but the customary republican
victory. Not since 1892 have the demo-
Gratis carried the state, and tonight the
election Of Hon. w. Murray Crane, the
present acknowledgements, and the re-
publican candidate for governor, is con-
coded beyond the possibility of a doubt.
The legislature will also be republic
can by the usual majority, only the
manufacturing centers and this city
contributing to the minority in that
body There are no state issues and
very few local contests so that condi-
lions are more than ordinarily normal.
Good judges place the republican ma
Jority at between 1000 and 60,000 the
Weathe" being probably of greater in
fuence on the vote than party theory.
A falling off of the republican vote of
last year of about 10 per cent is looked
for, while it seems to be generally
agreed that with the help of the gold
democrats, there will be little loss in
the democratic vote, and perhaps a
slight 9ain. The republican state com
mittee gives no figures.

diets vote of 10000 for it's candidate,

New York, Nov. 6.-Department Com
mander Joseph w. Kay, of the Grand
Army of the Republic, is greatly cha
grined over the publication of his spe-
cial order No. 20, an order to post COM
manders to send to him at department
headquarters at Albany, at once, the
names and addresses of members of
their commands who participated in
the Dewey land parade on Sept. 80
wearing the uniform, badges or but
tons of the order, and all such who
have publicly criticised their superior
officers
Il confess to great surprise and dis
appointment, said Commander Kay
yesterday, that my order is made pub
lie. l regarded it as a purely depart
ment matter and mailed a single copy
Of the order to each post commander,
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-11-07

believing that the commanders would
obey the instructions contained in 1t
and do all in their power to prevent
the order becoming public. The order
should have been regarded as confiden-
tial to post commanders; apparently
it has not been.
GAS long as the order is out, l am
willing to discuss it. In the first place
/ / want to say that the Grand Army of
the Republic is becoming to frequently
coufounded with the veterans of the
civil war. There are many thousand
veterans of the civil war who are not
members of the army This depart
ment has nothing whatever to do with
anything that veterans outside Of its
own ranks do, although I might re-
mark that these veterans reap the ben
eft of all that the Grand Army has ac-
complished for survivors of the war of
the rebellion.
THE Grand Army of the Republic is
conducted on the plan of regular ar

Army are set at naught, those who are

THE trouble over the Dewey parade
arose over the failure of Gen. Roe and
others to appreciate the obligations of
Grand Army men to their order. Gen.
Roe says he is a Grand Army man,
and he is but only by the order of the
supreme court. He was at the military
academy at West Point in 1854, and in
later years applied for admission to a
post. The supreme COURT decided that
cadets at West Point and Annapolis
were members of the army and navy
during the war, and were consequently
eligible to admission to the Grand Army
as veterans. Gen. Roe has taken lit
+Ie interest in Grand Army affairs and
is not frequent attendant at the
meetings of his post

chief here at the time preparations

who paraded with the uniform of the
Grand Army. There were others, of
course, but l have not heard of them
officially as yet"
SUBJECTS FOR DISCIPLINE.
Certainly such men are subjects for
discipline, but the form of punishment
to be melted out to them is still mat
ter under consideration. Courts-mar-
ttal are ordered in the Grand Army of
the Republic the same as in the regu-
lar army when they are regarded as
necessary, but we never order one if
such course can possibly be avoided
Until we have heard from all the post
commanders, we cannot tell what form
the punishment will take. 1t may be
necessary to convene courts martial,
and reprimands may be sufficient dis
cipline for the disobedient ones.
have in mind one case of disobedience
of orders. Two Grand Army men from
Brooklyn met on the bridge on the
morning of the day of the parade. They
were uniformed. One was going to
march with Gen. Howard in direct dis
obedience of orders; the other was go
ing over to see the parade. The men
got to discussing the order not to pa

the other, TO hell with the order! The
other was weak enough to listen to
such talk. and was finally induced to

Of court-martial will suffice to pun

matters now under consideration, so it
is impossible for me to say just what
course will be taken in Furnishing Of
tenders.
"As to those who have criticized their
superiors, l will say nothing. Those
men who paraded as individuals in the
unarmed division in defiance of the or
der not to, are, in my opinion, as guilty
of disobedience as those who wore the
uniforms, badges or buttons Of the or
der. Just how they stand, however,
is matter net yet decided. OF those

izations or as United States officers,

KENTUCKY FACTIONS.
Trouble Is Looked For at More. Than
One Blue Grass Town.

Louisville, KY, Nov. Ga quiet and
orderly election may be predicted for
tomorrow. Feeling between the fac
lions is at a rather high tension, the
general apprehension, it is thought,
will do more to lessen the likelihood of
an outbreak than the precautionary
activity which has been noticeable to-
day among those who are directing
the movements of the municipal police
and the state national guard.
If a clash should occur, it is most
likely to be in Louisville. At Bowling
Green there has been a particularly
bitter fight between the democratic
factions and extra police have been
sworn in. But at this and other
larger towns nothing more serious than
the usual election day casualties is
expected. In Louisville the greatest
feeling has been aroused. One demo-
cratic faction controls the police, while
the other has made the alleged inter
ference Of these officers at the local
primary one of the principal campaign
cries. Mayor Weaver has issued a
proclamation appealing for order and
cautioning the police.
Gov. Bradley is in the city and will
remain here until after election. A
number of republicans have been here
receiving orders to hold thenselvs in
readiness for a call. The usual detail
of men will be placed on guard at the
armories of the Louisville legion. In
this state of preparedness the authori-
ties are awaiting for the passing Of to-
morrow.
Beyond the anxiety which springs
from knowledge of the feeling
aroused in the campaign, the possible
", always n a ale ~

class of political workers, there is
nothing to indicate that the services
of the militia will be required. The
campaign closed tonight with large

to make a desperate effort to cut his
way through the Beers back into lower
Natal, and to join hands with the garri-
son, there which Is now certain to be
reinforced by the first arrivals of the
army corps from England, and to be
pressed forward to renew the attack
1t is generally assumed, however, that
General White will be able to cope with
any bombardment, and the idea that
the Beers could take Ladysmith by as
sault is secuted as absurd. The defense
thus depended upon the, uninterrupted
working of the naval guard.
Right here arises the important ques-
ton, upon which the dispatches have
thrown no light, whether the naval
guns, which themselves only arrived
at the last moment, have with them
sufficient ammunition to reply to bonn
bardfnent lasting possibly several
weeks. If not, it is hardly likely that
works exist in small town like Lady
smith for casting the special shell
needed for the Al gun, and, moreover,
there is no mention 0 tforssezbzbhm
there is no mention of stores of lyddite
at Ladysmith for recharging the shell.
Meanwhile, vague remarks in the dis
