charge, Immediately after the cleo
ton, and IL they were not signed
up properly, he should have re
fused to receive them and sent
them back to be signed up, as tn
law requires. OF course he could
not have told about the few IN
signed on the inside, but should
have Noticed the % polls out Of Al
unsigned on the outside.
SO far as we know, none Of them
claimed any extra pay for their ex-
ira trip, and we are very sure that
Mr.. NcGraw had no more right to
pay for 1t than Mr.. Dayton, and
not as much, for the latter was the
one who profited by it. The extra
cost TO the county from the extend
ed session of the County Court and
other officials, was charged up to
McGraw in the financial statement
this year, US prepared by the Re
pu blican County Clerk and printed
exclusively in the Republican organ
OF the county.
This was an outrage to try and
lay this all on to McGraw, under
the circu instances, as we have ex
| planned. But the Repu blicans have
persisted in doing tins, in order TO
try to make polite Al capital out Of
it, and the chairman OF their Com
mittee has "chewed the rag" over
the same falsebood In some of his
proclamations in the journal, and
this same Republican ring infu.
enced the new County Court to cut
off The ARGUS from any share IN
the county printing this year, and
gave as one Of the reasons for it,
that THE ARGUS had caused the
McGraw contest, and big expense
to the county, (Which was bare

AS matter Of fact, to get RICH,
down to the bottom of the matter.
the McGraw contest cost the county
but a trifle, as it did not begin
properly speaking, till after the re-
turns were ready for counting, anC
after four places were counted, the
contest was dropped. and that par
of the business took ur but it'll,
time.
Why do the Republican leaders
OF the county raise such u howl anC
kick so hard about us wanting the
returns properly and lawfully made
and recorded? Will some one an

and honest statement of the whole
case, and We defy anyone to contra

The flagship Olympia, the one
Dewey came home on, was soon
overrun with prominent officials of
the Army and Navy and the Civil
Department of the Government, all
anxious to do honor to the smasher
of Montijo's fleet.
On Friday the greatest naval
parade this country ever had took
place, headed by the Olympia.
Hundreds of vessels of all sizes
and kinds took part, and people
from all over the United States
were there to cheer themselves
hoarse. The weather was fine and
the sailors had great day, and
one never to be forgotten.
On Saturday the big land parade
took place in New York City, wit
messed by five million people. Early
in the day a meeting was held at
the City Hall, where Mayor Van
Wyck presented Dewey a magnifi-
cent Loving Cup"
The cup which glstened on a
black velvet support beside the
Mayor, is an elegant a piece Of
work rs Tiffany & Co. ever turned
out. 1t is Roman in form and
made entirely of 1S-karat gold.
Naturally the designer sought the
sea for inspiration. The handles
are modelled to represent three dol
phins wrought of green enameled
gold. Around the neck of the cup
are 45 stars, one for each state.
The handles divide the cup into
three faces. one bearing portrait
of the admiral surrounded bv
wreath of oak leaves. also OF green
gold. Underneath this are the
initials sc. d., q. S. N"
On the second panel is a picture
OF the Olympia and on the third an
Inscription stating that the cup ia
presented to Admiral George Dewey
by the city Of New York. The
legs OF the cup are anchors resting
on oak leaves.
After this came the big parade
with thousands Of sailors and SOL
diers, and officers from MANY
battle ships and the army. There
were $4,000 troops OF the State OF
New York led by Teddy Roosevelt
and troops from thirteen other
States. The fighting Tenth
Pennsylvsnia was IN the line and
got more cheers than any other
regiment. Rear Admiral Schley
received almost as many cheers as
Dewey.
The sword Of Honor to be pre-
sented TO Admiral Dewey was voted
by Congress last summer, and has
been made at cost OF $4,000 by
Tiffany, OF New York. With the
exception OF TIE steel blade. and
the body Of the scabbard the ma.
terial used is % carat gold. On
the pommel 10 carved the word
'Olympis," with the sign Of the
zodiac for Decem Der, the lucky
month ia which Dewey was born.
Around these is wreath Of oak
leaves. Below this is the coat Of
arms Of the United States, and Of
Dewoy's native State, Vermont.
with its State motto, "Freedom
and Unity" The guard is bean.
tifully wrought in tho shape Of an
eagle with outspread wings. On
the front Of the scabbard are tho
initial "G. D." and under them
~. 8. N" On the blade OF the
sword is engraved the inscription,
"The gift OF the Nation TO Rear
Admiral George Dewey, U. s. N,
IN memory Of the victory at Manila |
Bay, May /, 1898.
The sword was presented to him
in Washington this week by Presi- /
dent Mckinley, the ceremony TAX /

pretty badly. They have had it in

The inexperienced editor Of the
Journal is either woefully ignorant
or recklessly untruthful, one or the
other, perhaps both. He claims
that McGraw instituted HE So
called contest case" on the advice
OF The ARGUS. This is not true
as THE ARGUS never advised or
asked for anything Of the kind.
We estimated Dayton's majority in
this county at 1900, month before
the election. His majority on the
face OF the returns was 1905, 90 we
bad no kick TO make on that score.
The party entirely responsible for
the contest was the "Hon." G.. r.
Peyton, a political tramp from
Baltimore, aud thereby hangs

A GOOD OPENING.

Turkey season opened last Fri
day. says the Hampshire Review,
and Rev. G. A. Gibbons was at the
opening. He had blind prepared
IN advance and hied himself TO It
early Friday morning. Presently
two fine gobblsrs came and began
taking the bait. With one shot he
killed them both. He got Beck in
his blind aud waited patiently.
Presently four more gobblers came.
One~shot brought down two of
them, and the third shot on the
wing dropped the fifth one. MIR.
Gibbons lugged two of them home,
and with Alex Orndorff went back
after the other three. Alex weigh
ed the lIghtest one of the five, and
it weighed III pounds. Mr.. Glib
bons has completed the job by
killing a 204 pound gobbler. He
