JONES' PIPE DREAM.
Senseless Claims Made by the Democratic
National Chairman.

Chicago, Nov. 5--Chairman James
*. Jones, of the democratic nationa
committee, Oh the eve of election
says:
~ have no doubt that the result oi
the ballot tomorrow will be the tri
umphant election of Bryan and Stey,
enson. The democratic party has ap-
pealed i'm this campaign to the reason
and conscience of the people, while
the republicans have appealed to the
passion and prejudice.
Tin the great forum of public opin-
ion ! have no doubt the democratic
party has won in this, the greatest. OF
its national political struggle.
Four years ago the democratic party
was deficient in organization, whereas
now it is more perfectly organized and
more efficient than it has been in any
campaign. The national committee
has been in tonch with every part OF
the country and familiar with all de-
tails. While the campaign tHnd has
not been enriched by contributions of
great trusts, it has received the pat
Fiotic mites Of the working class ard
In sufficient quantity to defray the ex-
pense Of the campaign which was even
more satisfactory than il il had been
otherwise, The country IN now
aroused as it has never been before
since the great civil war, and the re-
suit can be nothing less than the
triumphant election Of the national
democratic ticket.

KenrucKy is Doubtful.

Louisville, Nov. 5-The campaign
that really began before any nomina-
tions We're made, closed tonight in
Kentucky with both sides claiming the
state in published reports by 10000,
though disinterested estimates do not
put the majority to either side at
above 5000 or 5000. The repnbli-
cans made an Issue and named it
"Ciyil Liberty" which term expresses
their opposition to the Goebel election
law and to the action of the legislature
in the contested election cases.

BERLIN's LATEST SCANDAL
POLICE CORRUPTION EXCITING THE
ENTIRE CITY.
The Emperor, Imperial Chancellor and
Minister of Interior to-
Take q Hand.

Berlin, Nov. 5-Highly unsatisfact-
ory conditions of fhe Berlin criminal
police, as laid bare by the sensational
evidence in the second trial of Herr
sternberg, the rich Berlin banker, ac-
cused OF an Offense against morality
and the peculiar manner in which the
case itself was prepared and has been
handled, are the talk of the whole
city.
In view of the clear signs of corrup-
tion and lack of discipline, brought
out by the proceedings, it was re-
solved today at a conference between
Count Won Buelow, the imperial chan
cellor, and Baron Won Rheinhaben,
the Prussian minister Of the interior,
TO overhaul the Berlin police depart
ment.
Immediately after the conference
Baron Won Rheinhaben ordered
sharp investigation without fear or
favor 1t IL expected that a large
number of criminal police will be dis
ciplined and that aboNt a score will be
dismissed, among them Chief OF
Criminal Police Won Meercheid Huld-
sheimek, who was strongly cOmpr0-
missed by the trial.
Altogether no fewer than seventy of
the criminal police are said to be inn
plicated in the sterHberg case,
The papers without distinction of
party, sterply demand thorough re-
forms.

ers against whom damaging evidence
has been offered, II IL rHIn0red thar :

ASSERTION by Chairman Hall of the dem

The republicans generally are saying
that Charles Fl. Dietrich, republican,

Hall says that the whole state ticket

IMMENSE PARADE OF ENTHUS-
IASTIC VOTERS.
MANY MARcHERs IN LINE
Bands, Flambeau Clubs and Fire
Works Senator Carter's
Great Speech.


Spociai 10 The Daily Gazette.
Helena, Nov. 5--The REPUBLICAN
campaign closed at Helena tonight
with monster street parade and
enthusiastic mass meeting at the audi
torinm which was addressed by Sena-
tor Carter.
The parade eclipsed anything seen
in Helena i'm several years. There
were over !, 900 marchers in line in
cluding the famous Great Fall Flam-
beaux club and Black Eagle band.
The streets were lined with people
who yelled themselves hoarse. The
republicans Of all classes were in line.
Senator Garter and A. M. Hotter were
among the marchers. Red fire and
many fireworks were set off.
Senator Carter delivered great
speech at the auditorium, which was
packed. He was repeatedly interrupt
ed by cheers.
The republican state central COM
mittee feels very confident Of the re-
suit. The general belief is that only
one man on the fusion ticket will
stand any show OF election and that is
because he is ON four tickets.
The democrats had so-called pa
rade tonight that looked like thirty
cents, compared with the republican
turnout.
Joe Toole spoke Mt the opera house

A farmers wife in Connecticut is an
enthusiastic raiser of fine poultry, and
among her flock is a large turkey COB
bier, which han developed remarkable
qualities. One day he tried to call away
q brood Of chickens from the mother
hen, and succeeded In doing so. Short
~ after he took to a nest and sat on
one hens egg. Ali endeavor to drive
him of having failed, the farmers wife
procured dozen duck eggs and placed
them in the nest, and the gobbler at
tended to them for ten days with the
most touching devotion. But he was
frequently disturbed to show slxeptics
his occupation, and he soon grew angry.
At last on one occasion, after he had
been pushed off after a stout resistance.
he turned around and began to smash
the eggs, and could not be stopped I'M
I'll they were all DESTROYED.

with burglars, and several months ago
the post Office was robbed. Mr.. Pinson
found the burglar and has just secured
his conviction in the United States

them. He remarks that they are great
rat catchers, and tells how he fastens
strings about the necks of the snakes
and turns them out In the store at night
before closing up.
Mr.. Pinson says his plan has many
benefits. In the first place the rats

conveyed that he was we'll and hoped
she was, that he had arrived in Chicago

hoped "these few lines" would reach
