THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YOFK

Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall,
claims that Greater New York Will give
Coler 112,OO0 majority.
Yesterdays New York Herald says
that claims of Tammany's lead and
other Democratic claims in New York
have alarmed President Roosevelt and
created a stir in White House circles,
and a loud note of alarm has gone out
from Washington to New York.
IT has ueen represented to the Presi-
dent, says the Herald, that there is dan
gerous apathy among the Republicans
of the rural districts of New York.
Chairman Dunn, OF the New York Re
publican Committee, has reduced his eS-
| innate OF Odelrs probable majority to
81 200.
The New York Herald also avs that
there is note Of alarm among visiting
statesmen Of Washington over the com
| plexion Of the House of Representatives.
THE House will be very close says the
Herald. "and during the past week the
| Republicans have lost ground in New
York and New Jersey

cock was having in figuring out q ma

tho report in Wall Street that j. Pier
pont Morgan and ]. D. Rockefeller nae
each contributed $3.50, 900 to the Odel
campaign fund says the Herald.
.Many large bets were made in Wal
Street at 2 to l on Odell. The book
makers want better odds. There was {
bet of 5 to 6 that the Democrats Woulc
control the next House Of Representa-
! tiyes,' says the Herald.
Odell claims that his majority Will b'
40 900 or above, and Senator Plat pre-
diets the same majority for the Repup.
lican candidate.
Chairman Carlisle, of the Democratl'
Committee, expresses himself as conn
dent of 35, 200 majority for Golfer, witt
perhaps a landslide, carrying the hgufe'
away above this estimate.

The marriage OF VIM. G. J. Gal.
braith and Lille Galbraith, ut Ia
coma, this week, revealed delightful,
though rather unusual romance in
real life. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Galbraith
were married in Council Bluffs, June
20, 1890. They lived happily in that
city until about two years ago when a
squall appeared on the horizon and
threatened their matrimonial bark.
A separation followed. On December
16 last, Mrs. G. was granted a decree of
divorce by an Omaha court. Mean.
while Mr.. G. had drifted to the West
and located in Seattle, where he is. en-
gagged in q successful business. Mrs.
q. went to Salt Lake to live with
friends. She fell i'll and for time her
life was despaired of. Her former hus-
band learned of her illness and pro.
vided her with funds. She recovered,
and Monday afternoon etepped off a
train in Tacoma. She made her way
up Pacific avenue, en- route to the
home Of friends where she expected to
visit. Business called Mr.. G. to Ia.
coma. He arrived on the l O'Clock
Flyer, a single man. He returned on
the 4:3O Flyer with bride in the per.
son OF his former wife. Their meet.
ing on Pacific avenue was purely acct
dental. Neither knew the other was
in Tacoma until they were face to
face. Twenty minutes after Mrs.
Galbraith stepped from the train she
was with Mr.. Gslbraith at the mar
riage license window of the County
Auditors Office.
