how X-MAYoRS WILL VOTE.
THERE ARE SEVEN or THEM AND
THREE ARE For SHEPARD.

Falling 10 ReEister-views OF All Seven.

Failing TO Regtter-vlews OF All seven.
There are seven former Mayors OF New
York. all Democrats, who are still alive and
Interested In the campaign. Two Of them.
Edward Cooper and Abram 8. Hewitt ave
come out for Low; Franklin Edison. Thomas
+. Glroy and Hugh j.. Grant will vote for
Shepard, and Smith Ely Is non-committal.
william X. Grace loses his vote as he was
unable TO register. Most Of the ex-Mayors
expressed their views Of the candidates
yesterday. Edward Cooper. who was
Mayor In is7o-sO, said:
The Mayor Is a far more important
figure now than when I was in Office. I
have no sympathy with Tammany and
never had any. / removed two or three
police officials when ! was Mayor, but the
courts reversed my action. l think the
side Of decency will win In the coming
election
Abram s. Hewitt is not now a citizen OF
this city. He IL doing what he can TO help
along Lows election, however. He said
Il hope all the good people will vote for
Mr.. Low. 1t is my belief that Croker is
seeking to ruin Mr.. Shepard
Smith Ely, Mayor in is77-7s, said:
mo questions involved In tho present
contest are identical with those OF four
years ago. The problem now Is whether
the regular party machines will be faith
full to their respective candidates. These
two regular armies practically disfran-
chise each other, and elections are really
determined by the remaining one-third
the varying, independent vote.
Il think we may congratulate ourselves
that whichever way tho election goes this
time, we will have. for two years. a Mayor
who will administer the city government
honestly, wisely and successfully"
Franklin Edison, who held the Office OF
Mayor in lSS3-Si, said:
Either Mr.. Shepard or Mr.. Low would
be highly desirable In the Mayors chair.
] shall vote for Mr.. Shepard. I do not say
that l intend voting the Tammany ticket
thToug hout.
1t will undoubtedly be a very close
election and / cannot pretend to prophesy
on whose banner victory will alight. My
vote will be cast for Mr.. Shepard because
! am not afraid that he will do anything
he should not. | feel sure he Is disposed
TO do what il right In everything.
When was Mayor, Tammany Hall
alone could not have elected q Mayor.
My nomination came from the county
Democracy and Vas approved by Tam
many Hall
Ex-Mayors Grant and Gilroy would not
discuss the candidates but both are known
to favor Shepard.

Low, Patrol the East Side.

Much activity is displayed by the man
agement Of the Jerome branch head
quarters at OIL Delaney street as the
day of election approaches. At the Begin
ming of the campaign the Tammany peo-
pie put up banners bearing the following
inscriptions in Hebrew on the one side with
the English translation on the other:
Low, the Republican candidate for Mayor,
insulted the Hebrew people OF this city 10y
prohibiting the Hebrew students Of Columbia
College from ab-enting themselves on the
Day of Atonement
Low is the friend and champion OF Frank
Moss, who says in his book The chief
occupation of the Hebrew women OF the
East Side is prostitution"
Low Is Platt's man He hates the com
mon people and Is opposed to our public
school system.
Punish this bigot by voting under the
star, for the friend Of the public schools and
all the people-Edward VI shepard.
Early Friday morning a procession Of
nineteen wagons. walled in with canvas
sides, started from VI Delaney street. and
proceeded 70 patrol the East Side as far
north ~ 81. Marks Place and east Of tho
Bowery. There were inscriptions on these
canvas walls. On the one side the charac-
tiers wero In Hebrew; on the other appeared

Brunswick county had elected a
full set of officers, who were all

cowardly act of the legislature in
appointing these four extra commits
siOners, imposing burden on the
county. She did not want them,
but they were appointed regardless
Of the will or wishes of her citizens.
Now, do not condemn the Dem

This remark was recently made

creditably performed the duties OF

furthermore, to demolish the fiction
that there is an unwritten law, es

President of the United States may

as any student of the times may

Shelby, N. g., June 5, 1901
For more than third of century
the rank and file of our people have
been influenced in their political
views almost entirely by political
prejudice and sectional hatred. True,
we have always had few men who
had the courage of their convictions
and dared to defend them, but they
were always hOpelessly in the minor
ity. A few have always been will
ling to cOncede honesty of purpose
to those who disagreed with them
in politics, but the masses have cried
out, Cruelty him! Cruelty him! Un-
der the influence of the party lash
"Christian" men have shut their eyes
and "buried their cOnsciences" while
designing politicians have perpetrat-
ed in the name of "White Supre-
macy" crimes that would put to
shame the most cruel despOt that
ever disgraced throne.
To one who has suffered at the
hands of a political rabble,it Is graft.

FIVE HANGED TOGETHER.
THEY FIRST SANG AT the JAIL.

A Quintette Of Negroes Pay the Penalty
For Murder-They Belonged to an Or
ganization-were Convicted OF Killing
two White Men-They Bore up Well.
Sylvania, Ga, June l4th.-Five
negroes named Augustus, Sande $,
Davis, Hudson and Baldwin, were
hanged on one gallOws at this place
today. The necks of four were bro
ken by the fall. The fifth died from
strangulation.
The negroes bore up well. They
sang at the Jail, and then marched
between a squad of soldiers to the
scaffold. Here they made shor,
talks and received spiritual consola-
ton. They then drank lemonade
furnished by the sheriff and thanked
that official for his kindness.
The gallows was erected il an en-
closure just outside the Jail. 1t
stood high above the fence, and
when the condemned men stepped
upon the platform they were in
plain view of the assembled crowd.
Five ropes were thrown over the
main beam of the gallows, and the
trap upon which the men stood was
about eight feet wide.
The crime for which they were
hanged was the murder Of two
young white men, Fillmore Her
rington and Milton Mears. The
negroes were Numbers Of an organi-
zation known as the "Knights of
the Archer" When Mears and
Harrington, in company with Off
GERS of the law, tried to arrest a
negro they were fired upon from
ambush by apparently dozen guns
and rifles. Mears fell dead in his
tracks. Harrington, mortally
wounded, crawled hundred yards
and died.
The coroner's inquest developed
evidence against eight negroes, all
members of the "Knights of the
Archer" including those who were
hanged today. Upon the trial the
five named admitted that they were
in the ambushing party, but claimed
that they were forced into it by
others under threats Of death if they
refused. A conviction resulted and
the men were sentenced to death.

A new lot Of frauds has been dis
covered in the Commissary Depart
ment of the Army at San Francisco.
From the Associated Press reports
il would seem that these frauds are
on a large scale and that some Ofii
Gers CT high rank may be implicated.
1t has not been long since similar
frauds were unearthed at Manila
and everybody is, Of course, familiar
with the Havana scandal. IL Seems
that the further men go away from
