content from several prominent Demo-
Gratis over the poor showing made in the
recent election Mr.. Mcclure says:
As soon as Democratic policies in State
and nation become popular in Onondaga
county, the Republican majority in this
county will be reduced. OF course. there
is room for improvement in the organiza-
aside and give way to any set OF men who
will take hold and improve the condition
of the party. In retiring want 1t under
stood however, that my friends must not
be sacrificed They must be treated fairly,
according to their merits. or l will be at the
throats of any persons who would attempt
to take advantage of their Willingness TO
improve the organization OF the party.
On this condition l shall retire from the
active leadership and expect presently
to resign as chairman OF the Finance Com
mittee, which position l have held since
1895.
During the coming year my business
duties will take me from the city for ex-
tended periods, even more than the past
wear, and il Is due TO the Democratic party
that those who have the time and inclina-
ton and are on the ground constantly take
up the work and improve thereon.

DEAD TOGETHER.
The Shocking Double Crime ne
Of a Demented
Woman.

BUTTE MONT, Oct. 29.-Dtspatches
from Bearmouth. give the following de-.
tails OF the discovery of the double crime
at the Conn rancho, on Williw Creek.
which was at first believed to have ceen
committed by the lone bandit who robbed
a Northern Pacific express train last
week.
"A member OF threshing crew on an
adjoining rancho had occasion to visit
the Conn rancho, and when he entered
the farmhouse James Conn lay dead on
the floor with a bullet hole through his
temple. Near him lay his mother with
her head crushed in. Near the stable the
threshing men met a denented woman.
who had dwelt with the Conn family for
some time. This woman killed her hus-
band about twenty years ago, and it Is
suggested that she may have knowledge
f of the tragedy.
