EXPLANATION

The Republican leaders are complaining
that there Is apathy Ia their party. and
they attribute Il 10 over confidence. The
explanation is not satisfactory. II they
should say that it was due 10 bossism
they would come nearer TO hitting the
NAH on the head. There was no cnthusi-
asm in tho convention which nominated
cause Boss Hanna had everything cut and
dried before tho convention met The
convention had nothing to do but meet
and ratify-the nominations and tho plat
form which had already been fixed up
There was no enthusiasm IN The Rcpub-
lcan convention which met at Saratoga
this week 70 nominate a governor and
other state officers Tor New York The
reason was that the nominees had been
decided upon and the platform written
long before the convention mot. Boss
Platt had made the ticket and the plat
form. The convention met to confirm
what he had done.
Tho nominee for governor Is Mr.. Odeii,
the chairman OF tho Republican State
Committee. IL has been alleged many
times that h. Is a creature OF Boss Plat.
The platform lodges the two issues Ia
which the people are the most deeply in
terested-the canal ana Ramapo issues.
II has been asserted that AIR Odell, more
than any other man. is responsible Tor the
defeat OF the anti-Ramapo legislation In
the Legislature last winter.

blind follower Of the political bosses

entious man for governor they could carry

pie do. only blind partisans would vote
for him. But. win tho Democrats nomi-
nate such mong The chances are they

Boss Croker. and nominate "A man OF the
Oden stamp--a man that viii allow his

event the chances are that Mr.. Odell viii
be the next governor Of New York.
l. Il any wonder that there is political
apathy. Why should che people be en-

nothing to do with making nominations

they should be- apathetlc over platforms
made and candidates named by the bosses.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 10
Representative Fitzgerald, of Massa-
chusetts, to-day introduced the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, 1t appears as matter of
public record that the Standard Oil
Company paid in the city of New York.
on March Is, 1900, the sum of seven
teen millions dollars, this amount be-
ing an extra dividend in addition to
the regular quarterly dividend of three
million dollars, and
Whereas, 1t is a matter of public
record that this last dividend is five
million dollars in excess of the last
quarterly dividend paid by this cor
poration, and
Whereas, 1t is also a matter of
public record that the price of kero-
sene oil, the sole means of lighting
used by the middle and poorer classes
of people, during the period of time
between the declaration of these divi-
dends was increased three cents per
gallon, constituting tax on every
home in the land, therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of
Congress this action of the Standard
Oil Company is in direct violation of
the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law and therefore punishable by
fine and Imprisonment, and the attor-
ney general is hereby directed in ac-
cordance with the provisions of that
act to direct the several district attor-
neys of the United States in their re-
spective districts to institute proper
proceedings to bring the above named
violators of law to justice.

Widow of Former Railway President
Picked Up By indianapolis Police.
INDIANAPOLIS, March ia rag
ged woman of unknown identity was
picked up by the police yesterday. She
was wandering aimlessly about the
streets. To-day it developed that the
woman is Mrs. Susan Parker, widow
of Samuel Parker, of Connersville,

of Congress. Twenty-Five years ago
her husband was president of the Gin

and lived in an elegant home at Con-

Her son, who lives in this city, went

$4,000 SHORT.
City Chamberlain of EImira, New
York in n Bad Hole.

ELMIRA. N. Y, March l6-Frank E.
Bundy, who for the past six years has oc-
cupied the office of chamberlain of this
city and for three years previously was
clerk in the chamberlain's office, has vol
unfairly confessed a shortage of over $780,
900 in his accountsl. Mr.. Bundy was the
Democratic candidate for mayor and was
defeated at the charter election on March
6. At the first meeting Of the Republican
council following the election, committee
was appointed to investigate the chamber
lain's books. Bundy went to Frederick
Collin, the attorney for his bondsmen, and
confessed to being short in his accounts
over s3o, 900. James B. Rathbone, one OF
the bondsmen, has taken charge Of the
chamberlain's office on behalf of the other
bondsmen. In a recent report he claimed
that he had accounts Of unpaid taxes on
his books. 1t is supposed that the short
age will be found in this fund.
