 Match, in Political Annals.
 Garter H. Harrison has recently been elected for the fourth time for the same office to which, his father, l Carter H. Harrison, was elected AsSYe ltimes- that of mayor of Ghieago.& &-he record of the two Harrisons, f& ier and son, in connection with this bh sre is certainly uf1exampled in the history of municipalities in the United States.
 The senior Harrison was a native of Kentucky and was elected mayor of Chicago in 1879. twenty four years ago. The city had at that time a population of 100000, less than one half the present population of Brook lyn. He was reelected Ill April, 1881. for a serond term, it1 April, 1889, for third term, and i'll April, 1885. for fourth term, and he ran in 1891 in one of the most exciting oanNasses ever known in Chicago with five may orally candidates ill the field. The campaign teisillinatetl} as follows: Washburne, republican,, 46.95T; Gre gier. democrat, 46,58S;. Harrison, inde- pendent. 42.931. Mr Harrison was defeafed, but he ran again in 1893, a much more important municipal elec- ton than the one which preceded it, k for the term of office covering tlie per- | iod of the Chicago fair
 E 1fl this contest Mir Harrison received < 114.0O0 votes, his republican adversary 63,00O, and lis antagonist of two ! years before. Mi. Gregier, 5000 M1' E Harrison was assassiaatefI wl1ie may or on October 2S 1893, two days be- fore the closing of the fair.
 Mayor Harrison, his son, was born in, Chicago in 1860. and was graduat- ed from the Yale law school in 1883.
 He pisacticed law until 1888, when lie formed real estate partnership with | his brother.
 | When the father secured control of the Chicago Times, the son acted as business manager, managing editor and proprietor until 1894. Ill 1S97 | he made his first race for tiie mayor adtv and has rum three times since suc- cessfully.

WOMEN OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Nowhere Are the Conditions of the sex So BnrBarIc as Tn That
 St1fd 0Id State.

According to Mrs. Stanton Blotch,. president of the Eqt al Suffrage League of New York, the laSe cam paig for political rights for women in New Hampshire revealed aln ost barbarfc conditions surrourding the women of tliat region, says a New York exchange.
 Nowhere are the conIiti n cf women so barbaric as in this staidi old New England state" she said. This is due to the introduction of the factory system. The New Hamp- shire woman has no more incentive to individual development than the women of barbarous tribes, whose in terests never go beyond the cooking of food and tiIling of the soil. Farm work is largely in the hands of the women of this state Although statistics of our recent war showed that our largest soldiers came from New Hampshire, but the native wom- en are abnormally small as a result of their hard lives.
 "The New Hampshire woman lives, in most cases, on a rocky, unproduc- tive farm and her employnents in her primitive home are as ephemeral as those of any savage. She bakes pies and doughnuts, washes her clothes and cleans house. The old in- dustries of spinning and weaving and preserving and soapmaking have passed out of her hands. So long as she had these things to do she had an outlet for her energies. She had an incentive to organize and systema- tize her household work"

this to say of the affair:
The presidential boom of Mayor

formally launched last night AT a din
ner given in honor of his birthday at

''SiXty-three prominent democrats
