a Democratic mayor succeeds Repub-
lican.
In the assembly the looked for gains
up the State on The part of the Demo
Gratis are not visible, in fact there being
several losses 1t is probable that the
Republican majority of last year Of "a
will be exceeded this year. There is
already majority in the Senate and
this gives the Republicans both
branches of the legislature.
MASSACHUSETTS.
BosToN, Mass, Nov. 8 The re-
turns from different parts of the State
show that good majority of the peo-
pie entitled to vote went to the polls
and voted for State officers and mem.
bers Of the legislature. The State is
Republican by a majority of from co..
GOO to 75,CG0. The Democrats car
ried Boston.
NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON, N. j., Nov. THE re-
turns indicate that the Republicans
have carried the State by about 10000
plurality, although there was no direct
vote on the State ticket. The Repubi.
cans will control DO houses of the
Legislature by good working ma jorities,
and will have an increased representa-
ton in the assembly.
NEBRASKA.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. S.-Returns
show the same fusion gain as earlier
reports, and there is no longer the least
doubt of the fusion tickets ele ction.
Asked for statement, W. j. Bryan re-
piled with laughter: 81 concede the
State of Nebraska to the fusionists by
$4,000.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 8.-Bryan has
given out the following signed state
ment: "The campaign in Nebraska
was fought on national issues. The
result is protest against the policies
of the present administration"
OMAHA, Nov. 9.-Whie the results
of the election in Nebraska have not
been landslide, the fusionists carried
the State from 1900 to 1900. Full re-
turns will not be in before night but
everything shows gain for fusionists.
1t is conceded to be personal victory
for Bryan.
Assistant Secretary OF War Nickel
john discussing the result says: "The
Fusionists carried the State but the
principles of imperialism are still pop
ular in Nebraska. The contest was
won largely on personal grounds and
Bryan made the fight of his life."
IOWA.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. S.-Returns
show large net Republican gain. The
ratio of gains maintained throughout
the State will give Shaw, republican
for governor $4,000 plurality.
KANSAS.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 9.-Meager re-
turns indicate Republican gains in the
county elections held all over Kansas
yesterday. 1t is predicted by conser-
vative politicians that the Republican
gain will reach ten per cent.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-Incomplete re-
turns fran Baltimore and meager State
returns indicate that John Walter
Smith, the Democratic candidate, has
been elected by majority from TO-
600 to $4,000. There is reasonable
certainty that the lower house of the
General Assembly will be Democratic
and that the returns will elect enough
State senators to overcome the Re-
publican advantage among the hold
over senators thereby controlling both
branches of the Legislature.
THE SOUTH.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The southern
States holding elections give their
traditional Democratic majorities. The
Dutch have again taken Holland.

The newspaper editors who are vain
ly seeking to belittle the result of the
recent elections as an expression OF
popular approval of the administration
in the matter of it's course and policy
in the Philippine islands do not tell
their readers that the consequences of a
black eye to the President in Ohio, from
any cause or combination of elements,
would have been the acceptance of his
policy by the country in the most en-
phatic manner in which acceptance
could be indicated. The inevitable
consequence of Republican defeat in
Ohio would have been the nomination
and election of Admiral Dewey to the
presidency. The "rebuke" to the pol
icy of Imperialism would have been fol-
lowed by the nomination by the Re-
publican party and the election to the
office of Chief Executive of the man
who is primarily responsible for the &C
QUESTION of the Philippines and who is
the incarnation of Imperialism. That
is how the "rebuke" would have result
ed. The secondary agent would have
been replaced by the principal.

On the Top Wave.
BUCKEYE STATE.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 8.-Judge
Nash, the Republican candidate for
Governor, came out on top of a good
healthy wave. He wss the beneficiary
of Democratic cutting to such an ex-
tent that his plurality will exceed Bush
nel's last plurality which was 28,0C0.
The result in Ohio has an important
bearing on national politics. Repre-.
sentative Dick, campaign manager for
the Republicans, adds largely to his
prominence. His laurels were so
bright it is not unlikely that, should
Hanna yield up the Craftsmanship of
the National Republican committee
next year, Dick will be chosen to sue.
coed him.
Another effect is the probable return
of Foraker to the Senate. By his de-
sertion of his old followers and valiant
fight for Nash, the latter comedies that
Foraker saved him. Foraker has made
peace with the administration.
Finally, the administration forces
claim the election of Nash as splen.
did vindication of the President, and
presages his reelection.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 8.-Chairman Dick
this morning issued the following:
"Returns from Hamilton, Cuyahoga
and Lucas counties are yet too mea-
ger to give definite figures. Enough
has been received, however, to indicate
the election of Nash by an increase
over Bushnell's plurality. Thus the
election of the State ticket and both
branches Legislature is assured"
TOLEDO, Nov, 8. Jones did not get
the vote in his own city and county
he expected. In the city, Jones re-
ceived 9,7S5; Nash, 1916; McLane,
6,057.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. S.-Only three
counties are yet to be heard from.
While returns from the rest of the
State in many cases are incomplete the
vote shows that Taylor has carried the
State by large majority.
The vote now stands, Taylor, Rep,
121 ,O38; Goebel. Dem, liz, 203; Brown,
Dem, 77,301. The Republicans have
carried every thing in Louisville. They
claim the Legislature by seven major
ity. This gives them United States
| Senator.
NEW YORK.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov, 8.-The cleo
ton in New York State is a Republic
can victory, judged by municipa
politics, Rochester which for four years
has been ruled by a Democratic mayor
becomes Republican by majority o.
$500. Utica's Democratic mayoralty
candidate is elected by the slender ma
| jority of 81, great reduction over thu
last municipal elections in the Demo
cratic vote. Albany elects Republi
can mayor and comptroller, the party
becoming dominant for the fret tim'
in years. Troy, another Democratic
stronghold, elects fusion candidate
an independent Democrat Endorsed b,
the Republicans. Erie county show
large Democratic gains, while King
county's Democratic majority of on
year ago is cut down about 1000. New
York holds its own as a Democratic
city as does Syracuse, in the latter cit,

Democratic candidate. In Renssalae

The Montpelier Journal appears to be
more than ordinarily touchy these days.
Possibly the fact that it is being badly dis.
tanced by the EUening argus may account
for the extent to which the Journal is con-
tinually ION edge"
AS usual the contemporary is looking
at things through the wrong end of IFS
spy glass. The ruling passion Is strong
in whatever engages it's drowsy vision.
Whether it is the Philippine question,
the facts of the Transvaal's history, or a
matter of journalism, the mental twist
of disappointment in chase for a
collectorship, or some other in6rmity
of mind or morals, is apt to lead the
good grandmother by the lake side to
read the facts Of any situation upside
down. But it's break as an instructor
in Transvaal political history YVES an
unusually Notifying one, even for the
Free Press, and it may be pardoned for
a little peevishness. 1t really had a
right to be speeny.
1t is hoped that lot of copies OF Rudyard
Kipling's last verses will be sold for the
benefit of Tommy Atkins, but il any other
body than Kipling had written them they
would have had a circulation of about six.
Brooklyn Eagle.
True as preaching. Kipling has add
ed nothing to his good fame by what
he has published since the Recessional.
On the contrary his reputation as a
poet as we'll as a man has been dimin-
ished, particularly by some of his re-
cent publications. He ought to have
stopped with the Recessional. Gray
was made immortal by single work.
Rock of Ages is all that survives in
popular regard of its writer's produc-
tons, and to the list might be added a
goodly number who survive in literary
fame on the strength of a single effort.
Kipling seems destined to be known to
posteriy as the writer of the Jungle
Be oks and the Recessional.
The amount of misinformation, and
the absence of information, in the
Free Press explanation to an inquir-
ing subscriber for a statement of the
case between the Transvaal and Great
Britain, is surprising to degree. The
contemporary ought to take term in
political history at kindergarten. 1t
is wonderful, indeed, that the war had
its origin in the discovery of gold there
in 1897, as the Free Press AYERS, and
that Johannesburg, town of so 600
inhabitants, has since developed in
the rich mining region. But there are
many other things more surprising than
this in history "as she ia wrote" on
College street, under the shadows of
the Billings library and the University
of Vermont.

LIKES THE AMERICAN COMPA

An Arkansas Firm Used it Last
 Season With Great Satisfaction.

From the Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn.
 A. J. Clements, of the firm of Clem- ents & Daniel cotton glnncrs of Lonoke, Ark, was in the city yester- day. Mir. Clements was seen by Com mercial Appeal representative in the office of the American Cotton Co.,, in the Continental building. and he talked very enthusiastically of that company's Roundlap bale press, which he has been operating at hls gin the past season. He compressed about A. 900 bales on his Roundlap bale press, and the cotton was all sold at the press at Memphis prices. Mir. Clements says that Roundlap bale from the Ameri- can Company's press will net from S2. 30 to S3 more than from the old press. In fact. farmer few months ago, made test of the matter, bring ing the exact number of pounds of the same quality to Mir. Clements that he did to a square bale press, without letting either gin know he was making the test, and the Roundlap bale netted just S3.75 more than the square bale.
 Mir. Clements says that one season has satisfied him of the merits of the American Company's Roundlap bale press. It is a good thing he says, both for the ginner and the farmer, and his firm will continue it's use and abandon it's other press entirely.

 The Crowd Kissed Mercier.

Rennes, Aug. 14.-A stirring scene closed Saturdays session of the Drey- fus trial. Gen. Mercier had spoken nearly four hours in ruthless denuncia- ton of Dreyfus, who had listened un- moved until Mercier concluded by say ing that if he had not been convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and II the latter's conviction had not been fortified since 1894 he would ad- init he had been mistaken. Then Dreyfus jumped to his feet as though the words had galvanized him into fife and shouted in loud voice: You have lied, scoundrelv' The audi ence burst into wild cheer, whereup- on the ushers called for silence. But when Mercier replied that he would admit Dreyfus was innocent if there was any doubt, the prisoner shouted again: "Why don't you then?" At this there was another outburst of applause. NJ.
