REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED.
Candidate CASTOR Makes Public A
Campaign Letter.

BosToN, October 18.-William A. CASTOR,
Democratic candidate for Governor, has
made public a letter which he says he re-
ceived as trustee of large estate, and which
indicates that the Republicans are not pleased
with the situation in Massachusetts. The let
ter is written on letter head of the House of
Representatives and bears the signature of
Congressman William G. Lowering, Massa-
chusetts member of the National Republi-
can Congressional Committee.
The letter says in part:
'sCan't you send as contribution for the
Republican Congressional Committee The
needs of the committee are more urgent than
ever in the history of our party. The coal
strike played havoc with the campaign and
we are going to lose six or seven members
right in the State of Pennsylvania. We
shall also lose in West Virginia, New York
State and probably in Ohio and shall hardly
save more than two representatives in the
South.
every man that comes from the South
under the new apportionment will be Dem
ocrat or socialist. The Democratic party,
with plank il the platform recommen-
ding government ownership of the mines,
is socialistic in the extreme. How
ever dissatisfied any one may be with some
Republicans, the fact remains that the bust
ness of the country cannot afford to have
halt at this time or the Republican party to
lose control of the House. The difficulty is
to make people appreciate the situation as it

Coal Strike Ended.

After strike of the anthracite coal miners
in Pennsylvania, lasting over five months,
peace was declared on Tuesday and she mi
ners voted to go to work pending an investi-
CATION by arbitrators appointed by the Presl-
dent, the operators and miners both agreeing
to abide by the conclusions of the arbitrator.
Dnring the continuation of the strike coal
scared in price to as much as 5000 a ton
and the supply is practically exhausted and
winter upon us. Coal will be scarce all win
ter. and it will be seversl weeks before any
considerable supply will go TO the largest cit
les, which will be. supplied first. Westmin-
ster will be lucky ifs fourth ofthe coal needed
can be procured by the LIST of December.
In addition to high prices, Inconvenience
and sure suffering, murders, riots. disorders
and other outbreaks have occurred. The coal
companies and railroads have suffered, and
Pennsylvania has incurred great expense in
maintaining 5000 men under arms for about
three months and 10000 for the past three
weeks. And all this is mostly chargeable to
a few men who declined to submit the differ
ences between operators and miners to arbi
tration. President Roosevelt recently under
took negotiations for settlement of differ
ences, and he has finally got the strike ended
for time The Republican politicians of
Pennsylvania and New York were afraid the
Republicans would lose both States and the
situation finally became desperate. Politi
cal, not humitarian considerations, forced ac
ton, and there is no assurance that the con-
illusions Of the arbitrators will be accepted.
The coal operators are evidently determined
not to allow the miners too much liberty in
fixing hours of labor, rate of wages or in the
weighing Of coal. They had determined to
crush to death the Miners Union, and only
appeals for the life of the Republican party in
the great States of Pennsylvania and New
York caused them to agree to listen to the
conclusions of arbitrators.
The arbitrator appointed by the President
are Brig. Gen. John 81. Wilson, E. w. Par
ker. Judge George Gray, E. E. Clark, Thomas
81. Watkins, BishopJ. L. Spalding, with Car
roll D. Wright as recorder.

Political Activity of Mail Carriers.


There are not many Republicans in Man
chester district, but they make up somewhat
for their fewness by political activity. Their
activity is sometimes ridiculous. This year
the rural mail carriers were unusually active
in the matter of registration, endeavoring to
reduce the Democratic majority. In one case
an attempt was made to swear off the list a
man who has, perhaps, never been out of the
county or State more than day at time.
In another case the man whose name it was
intended to be stricken off has not been reg
istered since the new registration in 1896. In
still another case the attempt was made to
swear off man whose name has not been on
the registration books for ten years.
Two or three weeks ago an order was is
sued at Washington warning federal employees
and officials against partisan activity. This
was only to attract the attention of the Civil
Service Reformers, while federal employees
and officials we're getting in their Republican
partisan work. This issuing of orders for
government employees to refrain from politi-
cal activity should always stir Democrats to
be more vigilant, and we are glad that the
Democrats of Manchester were not caught
with civil service humbuggery.

Vote for Mr.. Talbot.

One reason advanced why the wonderful
Mr.. William Tyler Page should be elected to
Congress is that Mr.. Page would be more in
fuential in getting appropriation for a
postofice building for Westminster than Mr..
Talbot.
This is based upon the assumption that
the next. House of Representatives will be Re-
publican, and that Republican would have
more influence than Democrat.
Well, the next House will be Democratic,
and, accordingto Republican logic, Mr.. Tai
bolt should be elected in order to get Post
Office Building for Westminster. Therefore
vote for Mr. Talbot.

HILL COUNTS ON GAINS.
Republican Dissatisfaction In North
ern New York Counties.

New YORK, October 18.-David B. Hill
has assured the Democratic leaders Of this
city that the results on election day will show
heavy decrease in the Republican vote in 10
counties of the northern part of the State
which in recent years have been Republican
strongholds, and in which Mr.. Hill has been
conducting political "still hunt"
Republican quarrels exists in all the coun-
ties where Mr.. Hill hopes to keep down the
Republican vote. These counties in 1900
gave Governor Odell As, 500 of his total Ill, :
l26 plurality. They are Herkimer, Jefferson,
Lewis, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego. Saratoga,
Schenectady, Washington and St. Lawrence
In order to learn what basis exists for Mr.
Hills promise the New York Herald asked
its correspondents to send unbiased reports
of the situation in their localities. Their re-
plies indicate that there will be falling off
in the Republican vote, especially in Jeffer-
son and Schenectady counties, and to less
extent in the other eight counties in Mr.. Hills

Senator Wellington Predicts The
Congressman's Defeat.
From the baltimore Sum. oct. p.

frOm the bdltlulOre OuL, Oct. Y.
United States Senator George l.. Yelling
ton, arrived in Baltimore last night and
stopped at the Carrollton Hotel. The Sena-
tor when asked as to the political outlook in
Western Maryland said:
''Mr. Kenneweg, the Democratic nominee
for Congress, will, in my judgment, defeat
Mr.. Pearre. Pearre will receive blast all
along the line, and he won't know what struck
him when the ballots are counted.
81 believe that Montgomery county will go
Democratic by 1000 and that Washington
and Frederick counties will both be Demo
cratic. Mr.. Kenneweg will carry Allegany
county.
1.-THE Republican party of the entire State
is in bad way. What it needs is recasting.
The same conditions which existed when
Kenneweg was elected in Allegany county
exist there today. Pearre won't be in it. l
shall support Kenneweg. 1 should rather
say that | will give Mr.. Pearre the same kind
of support that he gave me, viz: by support
ing the other fellow.
However, | au out of politics temper
ariy, but expect to be on hand when Senator
McComas comes up for election"

is in town with Mrs. and Miss Wellington,
who are here on a shopping expedition.
