reach the furthest point south that was

snow and across dangerous crevasses.
On the same journey, owing to the dogs

soon pulled up agGin; but the harness

it held. although half an hour after

it an extra pull, and the whole thing

that birds and reptiles sometimes live
in close proximity to each other. Sew
eral years ago while exploring Kent is
land, ventured up a 40foot hickory
tree to inspect large fishhawk's nest.
When almost to the nest was surprised
to see an enormous black snake wrapped
around the heavy stick at the bottom
of the bulky nest. The snake, although
at such an unusual distance from the
ground. did not lose its presence Of mind,
but dropped gracefully from limb to
limb until it reached the ground. Con-
tinuing to the nest, found a large
family of field mice. Above this was

Av. not voting for regent. 19,247
Barnes plurality over Sullivan is
9127; his majority over all opponents
is 1,138; he polled sos per cent Of
those voting for judge, and 46.9 per
cent of all who came to the polls.
Aliens plurality over Weber is a.
234; over Jones, 21,784. Whitmore's
plurality over Weber is 20,921; over
Jones, 18,461. The average republic
can plurality on regents is, therefore,
Il 1852.
Assuming that the vote on regents
is a fair expression of party strength,
the following average would probably
indicate the following Of the respec-
tive parties:
Republican .................... 80 ,938
Fusion ................... 5000

Judge Sullivan. therefore, ran 9,278
ahead of his fellow candidates for re-
gent, while Judge Barnes ran 2,947
behind his. Assuming that Judge
Barnes loss went to Judge Sullivan,
there are still 6,331 votes going to
sullivan Wnlcn were not cast lOT
either set of candidates for regent.
When we recollect that in 1893 Judge
Holcomb, running on an Independent
populist ticket, polled 1866 votes;
and that in 1895, with no fusion, Judge
Maxwell polled 70.566, it cannot be
gainsaid that the effect of fusion has
been to drive away adherents of both
the democratic and the peoples ihde-
pendent parties. For example, In 1898,
the democratic candidate for Judge
polled 37,545 votes; combining this
with the populist vote gives total of
103,211 out of a total of 181 .606 cast
for supreme judge that year. Like
wise in 1895, the silver democrat vote
of 1903. the gold democratic vote
of 1886, and Maxwell's vote, give
100,2 ,2S1 out of total 1928 votes cast
for supreme judge. The republican
vote for judge was 1902 In 1898 and
79.291 in 1895. In the eight or ten
years the republican vote has in
creased about twenty thousand. while
the combined democratic and populist
vote has fallen of twenty-five to
twenty-five thousand.
