The Worthington advance., 1902-08-29

Is be now burning his bridges
behind him and taking a position
from which he will be unable K
retire after the nomination of Mr.
Morse on Sept. 16.
| According to Smiths confession
he was, at the very time the BE Coz
sistent" editorial was written, rak
ing Murray county with a fine toott
comb in his search for enemies
whose malice might furnish the
basis for an attack on S. o. Morse
Investigation, forsooth!
! Was he not hunting ammunition
for roorack blunderbus to be fired
at the last moment before the
primaries? And as not the BE
Consistent medley intended to
lull the suspicious of the friends OF
Shell and Morse until his bell
muzzled shooting iron was duly
cooked and armed.
But the gun has gone off pre-
maturely and the district nowknows
that there was nothing in it but
wadding
It is charged, for instance, that
S. o. Morse is not republican!
Ism t that sumner!
His neighors for the last 80 years
have called him a republican.
He has called himself a republican
and has never affiliated with any
other party.
He was a good enough republican
to receive two appointments as
postmaster under republican admin
istration.
He was good enough republican
to be selected to fill appointive
Offices in two republican legislatures.
He was good enough republican
to be selected as private secretary
to a republican United States
Senator-and to hold that position
as long as Washburn was senator
He was good enough repu blicn
to be presented by the county of
Murray as that county's choice for
representative at a time before the
little Tammany. of which Grass is
the Croker, or is it the (Nixon)? got
control Murray county politics.
We have not talked with Mr..
Morse since Bro. Smiths popgun
went off but we do not suppose that
he will claim that he has always,
under all circumstances voted a
straigh ticket.
We presume that he has exercised
the right inherent in American
citizenship, land his family's claim
to American citizenship far ante
dates the War of the Revolution)
of voting as his judgement, guided
by his personal acquaintance with
the candidates may dictate.
And this is all the charge amounts
to-an attack on his republicanism.
And now the friends of the most
vulnerable candidates who ever
asked the support of the republicans
of this district are shaking in their
shoes for fear the supporters OF
Shell and Morse will come back at
them with accusations more pointed
as we'll as more truthful.
This charge by the Grass Wilson
pushers that S. o. Morse is not
their kind of a republican reminds
us of an almost forgotten incident.
Years ago respected and subtan.
tial citizen of Adrian during a
political campaign called the writer
down to the corner where he stood
and pointing across the street to a
bunch of disreputable~ looking
specimens of humanity, he said
impressively: Times, THOSE
MEN ARE DEMOCRATS.
That was his argument.
Those men were democrats there
fore, if for no other reason. he was
a republican They were not his
kind.
The writer did not consider it

candidate at the primary election,
for representative, and in the article
asked the A d v a n 9 to illuminate
them on the suject. Now the
writer has been in politics in this

faithful partisanship, not only this,
had the writer exercised the same
degree of carefullness as is his
custom in other matters he would
have ascertained that Mr.. Morse
is up to the standard in republican,
ism, but the writer desired to throw
a question of doubt and reflec-
ton upon Mr.. Morse before the
readers of the Herald, the most Of

My Dear Sir:-Replying to your a
of the 22nd., enclosing article from
the Worthington Herald you can say
that I cast my first vote for Line oln.
in 1864 and have voted for every
republican nominee up to and includ-
ing William Mckinley.
l Icast my first vote in Minnesota
for Governor in 1878 for c. K. Davis
and have voted for every republican
for Governor since that time with
single RECEPTION of Clough, whom 7
opposed for personal reasons. 7
voted in 1896 for all of the republi-
can candidates on the state ticket
except Clough.
These stories are too ridiculous TO-
dignity with a denial.
Yours very truly, >,
s. O. Morse.
The last paragraph of the letter ia
the exact situation. In addition
to the above, Mr.. Morse neglected to
say that he was member of the
county central committee of Murray
county for several years. The best
formation we can get, the time
was twelve years. If this is true
there must be queer set of repub-
licans in Murray county or else Mr.:
Morse is a republican whose loyalty
is equal to those above the average.
Now Mr.. Herald writer, He
that is with out Elm let him cast
the first stone" You have injured

more than you have advanced them

| New IOTk. ness was not marred by any
L----Iu to W r q developments
during the last week. The statistics
which best indicate the course of trade
hold true to the early promise of improv-
ing conditions. Favorable reports come
from all sections of the West. and while
prices are easier for some products man
ufacturing establishments are generally
well supplied with orders. That the
business world is without special incident
of disaster in this time when people are
still asking whether great prosperity
viii abide longer in this country is good
sign.
1t is of the highest Importance that all
features of the iron and steel trade re-
main bright as regards present and future
trade. The heavy demands of railroads
for steel rails tax the facilities of the
mills TO such a point that the total out
put for 1902 is almost entirely sold in ad
vance. Under these circumstances it
will be strange if more independent
plants are not built. One large road is
reported to have placed a rail order with
foreign manufacturers, and Others may
lse compelled to do the same. The bridge
and structural company Of the United
States Steel Corporation is planning the
construction of more plants. so heavy has
its business become.
The coke situation improves steadily
and is much better in the Chicago dis
trict Wire and wire nails are firm at
the advanced prices, and there is some
talk of another meeting. which suggests
the possibility of another raise. Western
bar iron manufacturers have added 81 a
ton to the price of bar iron. Eastern
manufacturers have made an advance of
81 ton on the same product, and as the
Western has been lower than the Eastern
price quotations now are alike in both
sections. The ore association has fixed
the price of Bessemer old range as a
base of $4.25 a ton, unchanged from last
years quotation.
Spring jobbing trade viii be enormous
in volume, buyers showing more conf
dence in making purchases. The London
sales of wool gave frmness to the prices
here, but holders hope for higher quota
tions. Yarns are steady but without ma
terial change. Print cloths are firm and
are held closely. Staple cottons are firm,
but buyers purchase slowly. The raw
material has not improved on its previous
uncertain position. The leather trade
generally is in a satisfactory situation.
Shoe manufacturers are busy and the
stock of leather is low. Hides continue
weak.
Sheet copper has been lowered from IS
cents to 16 cents a pound and now cor
responds more nearly to the price of the
raw product The latter remains UNI
changed, so far as official quotations go,
but purchases are freer for foreign con-
sumption. Domestic consumers are still
buying in small quantities to meet imme-
date needs.

GIRL CONVICTED OF BURGLARY.

The mystery surrounding a long series
Of thefts in and around the mountain
hamlet OF West Hurley. n. Y, has been
partly solved. and Jennie Green, IL
year-old girl, has been sentenced to
term Of three years sr the house of refuge
at Hudson. Jennie Green was one OF
the prettest girls in West Hurley ahd
one of the most popular All the yolng
men in the village were her admirers, but
she held her head high and kept them
all at a distance. The burglaries had
continued for months. In each instance
entrance to the building had been effect
ed in a way which showed that the work
was done by inexperienced hands and
probably was that of somebody IN the
village. The officers were puzzled when
they found a clew which led 20 Jennie
Green as one of the thieves, and they
could hardly believe their eyes when they
found a quantity of the stolen property IN
her home. The girl was arrested The
trial took place before Justice of the
Peace Barton and jury. The eyiden' =
was conclusive Of her guilt, but there
was every reason to believe that she had
not been alone in the thefts. and the au-
thorities expected to get the rest Of the
gang through her confession. But she
refused to say word that would betray
her confederates She was found guilty
Of burglary, and in view of her youth was
sent, not to prison, but to the house Of
refuge.

UDIp000. in the construction of down

the total cost of construction of eighteen

attitude. Builders would like to see this

Grains and provisions were lower. May
wheat losing 27s cents on the weeks
movement and May corn 3A cents. Liq-
uidation in wheat was caused by snow in
the Western belt and a reduced cash de-
mand Enormous receipts of coffee made
the market weaker and prices are easier.
Money shows increasing ease. The
Bank of England reduced it's discount
rate from 4 to 312 per cent, but there is
a suspicion that the London market IS
being prepared for a new loan. Call
rates in New York are practically nom
inal and while commercial funds the
country over are in good demand rates
are gradually easing Country banks are
increasing their city balances and are
buying commercial paper freely. They
have been advised by the city banks to be
cautious in their purchases, particularly
of city paper. and to make no such pur-
chases without consulting their city cor
respondents.
