ELECT REPUBLICAN.

Denis A. Spellissy. Liberal Democracy candi-
date for Attorney General. may prove to have
been the Bucher that saved the Attorney Gen

extremely close the latest dispatches indicating
thet only three hundred or four hundred votes
separate them in the race.
Spellissy. according to Melvin G. PaIlser, chair

mocracy, ran about 600 votes ahead OF his
ticket in this county. receiving about LOO
votes. to less than 800 for Edgar L. Ryder. can
dIdate for Governor on the same ticket. Spelis-
sy's friends said yesterday that Cunneen's vote
lin this county. as announced from time to time.
was and is based Colers vote rather than
on the number of ballots actually polled for
him. II this be true, then Cunneen will prob
ably be short about the same number of votes
that Spelissy ran ahead of his ticket. Both men
ass Irisnmen and natives OF County Glare.
SIelissy got a complimentary vote among his
Irish Democratic neighbors. particularly those
born in County Clare.

that Italian citizen in the United States is
entirely subject to American laws.

The fire insurance companies have been hard hit within the past few days The great fire at Waterbury. Conn. last week was arecord breaker, with its loss Of $2.CO0, GOO, it being the greatest disaster since the. fire at Jacksonville. Fla, two years ago, which caused a loss of s20, 900, ,0OO But the fire at Pater- son, N. J., Sunday, with it's loss Of $1O, ,OOO, GOO. makes the Waterbury con fiagration seem a small affair by com parison. Many insurance companies had to quit business by reason of the Jacksonville fire, and the Waterbury and Paterson losses will doubtless force more of them to the wall. Policy hold CTS would do well to watch develop ments in the insurance world for d while. Policies supposed to be good may prove to have been written by companies that will not be good here after.
