THE FISH HATCHERY.

Commenting on fish hatchery matters,
Hon. Horace W. Bailey. who had been a
fish commissioner since 1894, being then
appointed by Governor Woodbury., said re-
cently-and 1t is due to the late commission
or that his remarks be recalled;
"In al 1.-The recent discussions OF the hatch
cry, no one has remembered that on our
always mesgre appropriations, besides
planting about one million fish per year we
have during the past six years enlarged our
pond capacity and rebuilt all the old ponds,
rebuilt all the oonduits, built first class
cottage house, barn and out buildings, pur-
chased a good team outfit, built forty foot
addition to hatchery, gasoline motor and
machines for grinding meat, and graded
about the cottage house. requiring the draw
ing OF many hundreds OF loads OF earth and
stone. / certainly wish for my successor a
useful administration OF the affairs OF the
hatchery"

The Popular Vote

The Springfield Republican makes an
elaborate analysis OF the vote at the late
election of President with the view of
ascertaining how it all happened, and
where it happened, that the Republican
policies and administration had been
80 emphatically approved after great
and searching national canvass, follow
ing some three years of tenure of
power, period overshadowed in the
magnitude, Importance and difficulty
of its events and incidents, only by
those of the Shareholders rebellion.
The Republican finds that in the
New England States the aggregate vote
was as follows:
1900 1896
Mckinley. .................5 38, 822. .625, 594
Bryan. 49,. .243, 754
McKinley's plurality over Bryan in
1896 was 3S1 $40; in 1900, 203 $50; loss
from 1896, 178,790. In the Middle
States, the aggregate votes were:
Mckinley ..........1 914 ,215.. Il, 926, 935
Bryan. 406 301. Il 2 50, 635
McKinley's plurality, 1896, was $751;
300; in 1900, 507 ,914; loss, 1886. In
the Middle West the figures are these:
1900 1896
Mckinley ............2,888 1888, 638. :. 2, 806, 1923
Bryan. 2, 349, 514. g. 2,377, 512
McKinley's plurality in 1896, 42S, 816;
in 1900, 539, 124; gain, 110,308. In the
States of the Far West the aggregate
vote was:
1900 1896
Mckinley. .................8S 1884, 1874. $3.50, 1872
Bryan. .801 1906 .903, 431
Bryan's plurality in 1896 was 270,-
239; McKinley's plurality in 1900 was
82,878; gain for Mckinley, 1853, LII. In
the States of the South the vote was:
1900 1896
NICK lnley. ............,1 i, 03O, 1862. 1879 558
Bryan. ,456, sos. -. ,735, 100
Bryan's plurality in 1896 was &c.,
1862; in 1900, 426, AL. Bryan's loss
from 1895, 1921. The grand totals
are:
1900 1886
Mckinley. .............7,25 1856 ,021. ~ Ill 607
Bryan. 6, 348, 1876, E. 6, 800 052
McKinley's grand plurality in 1896
was 602, 555; in 1900, 1926.
The pewter of the Republicans po-
litical bias drags it down to the con-
clusion that McKinley's diminished
vote and lower plurality in New Eng
land was the result of "the obvious op-
position to McKinley's imperialistic
policy" which was, however, equally
balanced, in the minds of many thou
sands of voters, by opposition to or
fear of the effects of Bryan's election
on the financial and industrial situa-
tion." The Republican naturally sees
what it wants to see in any political
situation, and it is invariably gazing
cross eyed at Republican administra-
ton. In New England not aggres.
