Before election the New York Jour
nal, about the only prominent east
ern Democratic paper unsupported
Bryan in 1896. contained the follow
ing prophecy and warning to its
party, and the result shows its accu-
racy and good sense:
The Journal would like to risk II
prediction. The Democrats are GO
ing to be numerically thrashed in
Ohio. And they are going to suffer
their punishment because they have
abandoned the sound Democratic
policy Of expansion, and have stupid
ly allowed themselves to be put in a
position which no American party
has ever occupied without ruin-the
position of encouragement to armed
resistance to the national govern
ment,

n ELECTIONS,

That the result OF the recent. cleo
lions is more than gratifying to Re-
pubtcans goes without saying. In
off years the party has suffered many
reverses and has become hardened
to most any verdict that might be
rendered. While 1t was believed the
administration would be sustained
In such states as Ohio, Massachusetts,
and Iowa, the majoritles returned
were a surprise to the most sanguine.
In Ohio the party managers did
not place the majority at over $4,000
and were prepared to accept less.
The candidacy OF Golden Rule"
Jones, party dlsafiection and Nc
Leans barrel were elements in the
contest that made speculation as to
majorlties very difficult on both sides.

The Nebraska State Journal in
commenting on the result in that
state says: "Nebraska's result will
cut no figure in the worlds history,
and will not be worth a brass farth-
ing to George Washington, Napol-

liam jennings Bryan In the final
wind-up. She is the renegade OF the
great west, the degenerate sister in
the transmississippi family, and her
name will be the scott Of the great
business world. Her expiation will
be accomplished possibly after many
days OF sackcloth and ashes, when
she will arise. 1t is hoped, purified
and clothed in her right mind, and bt
no longer a blot on the escutchion o.

The result in Ohio should be espe-
cially gratifying to Senator Hanna.
considering that he was made the
chief issue in the campaign. Every
big and little blackguard nthe state,
and some imported ones, were given
: the cue and at once opened their mud
batteries upon Mr.. Hanna. Even
Bryan on his visit to that state lost
his dignity and joined the vicious
pack of jackals in their attacks on the
Ohio senator. The animus for all
this is plain enough to discern. The
gang had not recovered from the
bruises received in their hard fall in
1896. II they could discredit Hanna
and make the voters believe that he
was their enemy, they stood a show
of winning and at the same time reap
revenge for past misfortunes inflicted
upon them. A great effort was made
to array laboring men against the
senator, but it seems to have fallen
fiat. In fact, Mr.. Hanna welcomed
that line of attack. In one of his
speeches he said: "They call me n
labor crusher. II there is a man in
my employ who will step up and say
that l am a labor crusher / will re-
sign from the senate OF the United
States" OF course no man was
found to make the accusation, for

WAR BETWEEN MATCHMAKERs,
A New Corporation Enters the Field
Against the Diamond COmpany.


Against the Diamond Company.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2t.-What promises to
be a lively fight between concerns each
representing a large capital had its begin
ming soon after the filing today with the
secretary of state of New Jersey, at Tren-
ton, of the report of the newly organized
American Match Machine Company. The
fight is between it and the Diamond Match
Company. in which Edwin Gould is largely
interested, and which up to the present
time has enjoyed monopoly of manufac-
turing machines for the making OF matches.
The American Match Machine Company
has the following organization: President,
Ferrill C. Dinniny, jr; vice president, VIII
liam F. Hutchinson; secretary, Wallace A.
Downs and treasurer, Charles W. Drake.
The board of directors consists of Ferrill c.
Dinniny, ir, Wallace A. Downs. Charles W.
Drake, and Frank H. Wall. The company
is capitalized at $10O, 900, but it is asserted
that there IS more than 50, ,O00, 900 back OF
the company, and that many millions of
dollars more are available if the Diamond
Match Company should decide to make a
liSAi against lhG new NOALpoAl9
No time is to be lost by the new company
in entering upon active operations. On
Monday next the manufacture of machines.
with which matCD factories will be in
stalled, will commence. A large plant has
been erected at Bound Brook. n. J., with
daily capacity of match making macnin
cry equal to 500 gross of 100 boxes Al
ready orders have been received for ma
chinery for five factories which are TO be
established in cities between New York
and Chicago. One of these cities is in
Pennsylvania and another in New Jersey.
The capacities of the different plants range
from 500 gross of 100 boxes of matches
daily up to 1000 gross.
The American Match Manchine Company
also intends to enter the match making
deld. and will establish a factory at Og
densburg, n. Y. A large number Of orders
has been placed with the new company for
machinery and also for matches. One we'll
known iobber. it is said, has offered 10 take
four carloads of matches each week for
period of two years, and to bind his offer
by making a contract to that effect.
Hitherto all the patents for match max
ing machinery in this country and several
in Germany have been held by the Diamond
Company. which thus was secure in its
monopoly,
Wallace A. Downs. the secretary of the
/ American Match Machine Company was at
one time largely interested in the company,
1 which was absorbed by the Diamond Match
I Company when Edwin Gould became con-
/ nected with the concern. The patents for
the machines were chiefly the invention of
/ Colonel Downs. After he severed his con-
/ nection with the Diamond Company Col
/ onel Downs set his inventive faculties at
work and evolved a machine which is said
/ to be a great improvement on his former
/ invention.
/ 1t is this machine that the American
/ Company is to manufacture. None Of the
machines are to be sold outright but viii
/ be operated on royalties.

FOR BALTIMoRE's zoo.

4 Black Mexican Wolf Added 10 the
Collection.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct 21-A thorough
bred black wolf arrived in Baltimore yes
terday morning and was sent direct to
Druid Hill Park, where it now forms
part of the rapidly increasing zoo, IN
charge of Keeper Charles Morgan.
The wolf is a native OF Mexico, and his
color at present is dark grey, but, it is
said, he will shed this coat as he grows
older. and his next suit OF hair viii be
black There was no separate cage to put
the new acquisition in. and he is housed
with the old prairie wolf, or coyote and
the two appear to be on the most friendly
terms.
The park board is preparing to introduce
a number of other animals in a short time,
Another small brown bear has been order
ed. and it is expected a timber grey wolf
will be bought to go with the silver grey
wolf already at the zoo When the new
bear comes there will be a serious ques-
tion as to where to house him In the
old pit there are already three bears, while
the new pit is occupied by the cinnamon
brown bear. which killed the big black bear
some weeks ago, and has since been kept
by himself. He IS still fierce, and 10 one
dares enter the pit except Keeper Nor
gan. 1t is thought that the new bear,
being Of the same species and family as the
fighter, Will be safe in the pit with him.
Without exception, the entire menagerie
at the park is in fine condition, and every
animal and bird is healthy and well.
Keeper Morgan is now busy preparing
winter quarters for them, which consist
of bedding for the bears and the lining
of the backs and sides of the cages Of the
other animals.
Francis II. Waters, general superinten-
dent of the parks. viii recommend to the
park board the construction of a larger
animal house in Druid Hill Park and a
