SEEKING A CANDIDATE.
Democrats Want Walsh to Enter the
Representative Contest.

Clinton, Oct 10-Democrats are put.
ting great deal of pressure upon Da-
vid l. Walsh to get him to enter the
representative contest in this district
Their efforts have not so far beer
crowned with success. Democrats who
have nothing to do but run for office
are not usually in keen competition fol-
the democratic nomination for repre-
sentative. Mr.. Walsh, far from being
an office seeker, is lawyer In enjoy
ment Of a large and successful prac-
tice, from which he can with difficulty
spare time for political effort. 1t would
be matter of much expense and little
honor to carry the democratic banner
to victory that at the best is prob
lematical.
Democrats are basing some hope or
the entrance of S. Ives Wallace and E
p. Bartlett as Independent republican
candidates. Even then the district Is
so heavily republican that the indie
pendents would doubtless stand a bet
ter chance of election than the demo-
cratic nominee.
There Is not a single candidate in the
field seeking the democratic nomina,
ton. Any man Of good running qual-
tiles who takes the nomination has tc
be coereed by the party, the members
Of which pay more attention to keep.
ing up the organization than they do tc
individual interests.
If Mr.. Bartlett and Mr.. Wallace
should run they would receive a large
vote in Clinton. Mr. Wallace is in the
grain business, and deals largely with
farmers in the outlying towns, many OF
whom would favor him. Mr.. Bartlett
has strength in West Boylston.

JACOB is MISSING.
Converted Hebrew
Has Been Away
Two Weeks.
CLAIMS HEIRSHIP TO $4,000.
He Was Picked Up BY
Clinton Missioners and
Well Cared For.

Clinton, Oct. 10--The good people Of
the Baptist church who took an inter-
est in Jacob Goldstein. believe that their
confidence was misplaced. Rev. A. S.
Brown, pastor of the church, expresses
the belief that if Goldstein is an i'm
postor he is the cleverest one the pas
tor ever met
Goldstein seems to have cut quite
a swath if religious meetings since his
arrival early in the summer. He went
away from his boarding house two
weeks ago, and said he would return
Sept. 30. He has not been heard of
since. He had made numerous plans
for the future, in which his church
friends were to cooperate with him
He did not try to borrow money of
anybody, so far as is known. But he
did not pay James S. Martin the amount
due him Cor several weeks board.
Goldstein posed as a converted He
brew and attracted much attention
in consequence. His first appearance
was in the gospel mission, one evening
early in August. He told the kind
hearted missionaries that he had been
without food for So hours, and was dy-
ing of want. He informed them that
le WIS Tie son OF wealthy parents IN
New York He claimed he went to
fight Spaniards when war began,
and was wounded before Santiago. On
his sick bed he read the New Testament
and was converted. He returned to
New York and told his father and
mother, who turned him from their
house. Then he came to Worcester to
see what an uncle, whom he said lived
there, would do for him. When he
learned of the conversion, the uncle
turned his suffering nephew adrift.
Goldstein was carefully cross-ques-
toned by the missionaries, but told his
story with such magnificent and I'M
varying detail that he was believed.
Subsequently he abandoned the mis-
sionaries and became a member Of the
Baptist church, where he became To-
oally celebrated for his devoutness.
Mr.. Martin remembers that Mr.. Gold
stein received a telegram which he did
not open until some hours after 1t was
handed to him, and which he never
showed. He said the telegram brought
him news of his mothers death and of
heirship to an income of 5000 year.
After this, Goldstein talked a good deal
about starting a jewelry store, and fire.
quently expressed a desire to give away
his entire fortune. He left to go to
Boston. and invited Rev. Mr.. Brown to
go with him.
His absence makes much gossip. The
circumstances under which he claimed
to have been converted caused him to
be pointed out as an example of what
It was possible to do in difficult cases.
