the votes of Messrs. Gardner, Baird and Gummere f1uctuated a good deal while the vote of MT. Griggs remained stationary and that of MT. Dryden in creased to 24, and the vote of Mir Stokes went up and down as the sup. porters of the other three south Jersey candidates voted either for him or their own particular fayorite.
 The balloting continued in this way until the close of the seventeenth bal lot, when the south Jersey members held conference. and all decided to go to Stokes. The eighteenth ballot re suited in Mir. Dryden getting 24 votes MT. Stokes 24 and MT. Griggs 15. As the roll call for the nineteenth ballot was concluded the total stood Dryden 31, Stokes 29 and Griggs 3. Senator Cross of Union, one of the three Griggs men, changed his vote and gave Mir Dryden the necessary g. votes.
 The vote was at once made unani nous. The Republicans have majori ty on joint ballot of forty-five votes which assures the election of MT. Dry den. as the caucus action is binding.

..LEpPER. HUGHES TO RAGE.
He and His Son Will Team Together
 In the Big Event.

One of the interesting features of the coming six-day o-as-you-please race in Madison Square Garden, during the week of February, will be the reap pearance on the tan bark track of the veteran John Hughes, better known as the .Lepper." The old timer, though well advanced in years, has the great est confidence in his ability to go the route and roll up high score. The new conditions under which the race will be conducted, he says, give him an excellent chance of getting into the money. He has selected for his team mate his son Willie. Hughes says that he expects to make at least 400 miles, averaging about seven miles an hour each day. He loks for his son to bet ter this average thus giving them a total of 500 miles for the week. New entries are coming in daily, and teams in which relationship is closely allied may De looked for at any time.

President Diaz, Of Mexico, to Re-
sign January LIST.
The Gold Standard for Mexico Seems
ProbAjle-Change of Currency
Suggested.
PERSUADED TO THE COURSE

New York. Nov. 1l-President Por-
firio Diaz, tho "Grsnd Old Man" Of
Mexico, will retire from office anuary
list. He will be succeeded by Jose
Yves Limantour, now finance minis
tee. Definite assurances that this
program will be carried out were re-
ceived in this city today by persons
whose banking and railway interests
require them to have the earliest ain
side" news Of Mexican politics.
The gold standard plan, originated
by Limautour, Is the direct cause Of
President Diaz's retirement. IL was
the Rothschilds, however, who sug-
gested 1t. Limsntour has reorganized
the finances OF Mexico, and placed its
banking system on the gold basis. He
convinced President Diaz several years
ago that the silver standard was re-
tsrding the progress Of the country,
and that 1t was necessary to put the
finances on a gold basis. A co minis
sion appointed by the president inves-
tigated and made . favorable report.
Recently the government, through
diplomatic channels, sounded the I'm
ancial centers of Europe as TO the
praoticability OF placing large loan
for the purpose of acquiring sufficient
gold to make the change to the gold
standard. in the same manner as japan
has done it. The proposal met one OBJ
lection.
"while General Diaz is alive, said
the Rothschilds ana other bankers,
"Mexico will be tranquil and prosper.
Gus. But nothing is more probable
than that he will die suddenly. Mex
leo will then be in chaos. Others will
dispute his ascondency. No man can
tell how long and how severe the wars
will be. With such prospect, no one
would feel safe in lending money to
the republic.
Diaz aud his advisers realized the
force o; the objection, without ad-
hitting all the facts alleged. Until
this crisis, the chances of the natural
successor to the presidency lay be-
tween Limantour, the flnsncier, and
General Bernardo Reyes, minister Of
war and head Of the army. In the
cabinet Of Diaz each has watched the
others acts with suavs hostility. The
logic of the situation compelled Disz
to propose his own retirement, and the
succession Of Limsntour.

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS
They Resume Counting the Vote
Today at the Court House,
will Probably Finish the Count Today
and Issue Certificates Later.

Election Commissioners Dorian,
Potter and Randall reconvened at the
county court house this morning and
resumed the count of the vote of Nc
Cracker county. Mr.. Joe Randall,
who was absent yesterday, was again
present, and it is drought that the
canvas will be completed by ad joprn-
ment this afternoon. but the certifi-
Gates will not be issued until later,
perhaps Thursday. Mr. Randall leaves
again tonight and will return Thurs
day and will then take up the work
again and certificates will be awarded.
About the only change thus far is in
the fact that all the candidates will
receive from three 10 half dozen or
more votes than given them in the
published reports, owing TO the fact
that the commissioners have counted a
number of ballots that the election
officers rejected.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. Ii-with the
congressional and judicial elections
now out Of the way, the Democratic
politicians about the capital are dis
cussing the time and manner Of nomi-
mating candidates for the state offices
to be filled next year. The question of
whether primary election or dele

length before the recent election alb
sorbed all interest, is again revived.
There is tip out that the state ex-
eoutive committee of the party will
be called together by Chairman Allie
Young within very short time to
consider this question. There seems
to be disposition on all sides here for
making the nominations early next
year, some Of the politicians desiring
it early as May next. When the exec
utive committee meets, and the meet
ing will be held either here or in Lou
isville within q few weeks, action
will be taken as to a primary.
One member Ct the committee has
expressed himself as in favor of issu-
ing an immediate call for primary
to nominate candidates to be followed
by 8 convention to indorse the nomi-
nees. Others favor the appointment
Of q ub-oommittee of the committee
to investigate as to the sdvissbility
of nominating by such method, and
the cost to candidates, this sub-com-
mittee to report back to the committee
after comforting with the various

Iiminary Hearing.
