A Gaining but not Winning Contest.

A Gaining but not Winning Contest.
The net result of the recent elections,
30 far as the democratic party is con-
cerned, Is summed up in the headline.
The democrats have gained 10 or 20
congressman and some half dozen sena.
tors, but the republicans still have a
safe working majority in both houses
OF the national legislature.
President Roosevelt has the correct
idea about the result. He says that the
people have simply given the republican
party q chance to make good its prom
ises, and that the result IN 1904 depends
entirely upon what is done in Washing
ton during the next two years. The
president shows Willingness to wage
war upon the trusts, but the republican
senators, q majority of whom occupy
seats purchased for them by the trusts,
may be able to prevent the president
from carrying his views into effect.

The senate did not receive the measure
until near the end of the session. The
presentplan of investigating the claims
of the territories is unprecedented. 1t
was suggested by Senator Beveridge.

A Prediction Verified.

Seth Low beat Tammany by entering
into Q pact with the saloon keepers of
New York City to allow them, in the
event of his election, to keep their sa-
looms open on Sunday. We make the
prediction that Lows pretended reform
administration will prove colossal
failure. Tammany obliged the saloon
keepers to observe the Christian Sab
bath, and the moral forces of the great
eat city in the New World will moi con-
tinue to support man who has pur-
chased his election by an agreement to
run 9 wide open town seven days in the
Week.--Manchester Democrat, Nov. 81,
1901.
In less than a year our prediction has
come true. AT the election held on the
4th inst, the democrats carried New
York City by the unprecedented and
colossal majority of 1851.

NEGRO ACCUSES ALAN MASON

Perry Identifies "slucger" Suspect as Man
Who Gave Him Watches.
Boston, Nov. 11.-George L. o. Per-
ry, the mulatto arrested as witness
against Alan G. Mason, charged with
being Jack the Slugger," identified
Mason as the man who gave him the
watches taken from Miss McPhee and
Miss Morton when they We're fatally
assaulted. The men faced each other
in the East Cambridge Jail. Perry pos.
itively declared Mason is the man he
has known more than year, and that
he gave him the watches as stated in
his confession-the McPhee watch Oct.
4, one day after Miss McPhee was
killed, and the Morton watch Nov. 2,
the day after Miss Morton was killed.
When Mason was asked If the recog-
milton was mutual he declared he never
saw Perry before and that Perry's en-
tire confession is a lie.

ACCIDENT at an Election Gathering Kills
Twelve and Wounds About
Fifty Others.
New York, Nov. 6-Twelve persons
were killed and at least fifty We're Sc
riously injured by an explosion of fire
works in Madison avenue at Twenty
fourth street. One of the dead and
three of the seriously injured were po-
licemen. The dead are: Dennis Shea,
policeman; William G. Finney, George
Ritzle, Harold Robley, eight unknown
men. The bodies of some of those
who We're killed We're literally torn to
pieces by fragments of iron mortars.
For two blocks Madison avenue was
like shambles.
The explosion occurred just after 10
O'Clock, when u big mortar containing
fire bombs exploded prematurely, and
fell among a lot of other pieces that
had been placed close together in read
mess to be fired. They were altogether
too close for safety, the police said
afterward. Each of the mortars con-
tanned five bombs, the kind that are
supposed to explode in the air and dis
charge a shower of colored balls of fire
and golden rain" Six of these NOR
tars had been taken from truck and
placed close together, muzzle up, in
a bed of saEd in front of the John e.
Parsons house at II Madison avenue.
Another mortar had been taken halt
block further up the avenue to be
fired. 1t WIS this one that went off
prematurely before it was pointed. No
body could explain just how 1t hap
pened.
The fire from 1t fell among the 9TH
er mortars, exploding all the bombs
they contained simultaneously and the
mortars themselves flew into frag-
ments. 1t was these fragments Of
iron that made the havoc in the crowd.
-Four of those killed were small boys,
and three of the four We're on the
steps ut II Madison avenue, thirty feet
away from the explosion. The same
iron killed two of them. The head Of
one Of them was practically blown
off,

A Wall Of Woe.
We have taken the nil.

We have taken the pill.
Involuntarily, of couse, and it doesn't
taste any sweeter for the fact.
The defeat of s. P. Carter by the re-
publicans of Manchester is an aggra-
waiting slap and premeditated insult to
the people of the south half of the
county. More than that, the republi-
cen leaders of the county seat boast of
their triumph and ability to punish any
other section of the county or any fut-
ure candidate who does not meekly
bow to the mandates of the wire-pullers
of the capital town.
Manchesters grievance is the bridge.
In order to secure an expensive bridge
tDstanter, they were willing to leave
one.hslf of the county without represent.
alton on the board of supervisors, to
shelve all other interests of the general
public for single selfish desire.
Manchester takes pleasure in recalling
to our attention that Mr.. Legassick
was used twenty five years ago to de-
feat Henry Merriam, then supervisor.
The issue then was the removal of the
county seat from Delhi. Later, they
defeated Mr.. Crocker with Staehle, of
Earlville, also q democrat. They pay
ue a compliment by saying that it has
always been necessary to defeat South
Fork man at the polls in order that
Manchester might achieve its ends.
Why did not Manchester use its knife
on Mr.. Carter at the primaries, when
there were other candidates in the field,
and the selection of either one would
have still left the southern part of the
county representative OH the board.
Such course would not have placed
an indignity upon the people and tax
payers of this section, and Manchester
republicans would not have been guilty
of 9 covert act condemned by all
people and all parties.
Study the table of returns. Paste it
up where 1t will be constant reminder
of narrow political trick.
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
