DEMOCRATS CLAIM STATE FOR 1904.
Every Democratic leader of any
consequence in the state believes
New York is certain to go Democratic
at the next Presidential election.
They have figures at hand to back up
their belief. McKinley's plurality of
26s, 1869 in 1895 dropped to 143,6O6
in 1900, although the candidates and
the issues were the same. Roose-
velt's plurality of 17,786 in 1898 was
small enough in all reason, but it
was whitfield down to 8,S03 for Odell
in 1902, with anything but strong
democratic candidate. Last fall the
social Democrats vote was 1886,
and the Prohibitionists polled 2O,490,
so these scattering elements amount
nearly to seven times Odell's plural
ity. The combined Democratic, So
cialist and Prohibition vote shows a
clear majority of 5o,973 over the
total Republican vote.
Until the campaign of last year
the democrats had been beaten
steadily since 1892, with the single
exception of the election in 1897,
when Parker was elected to his
present place on the bench of the
court of appeals by 60,8S9 majority.
That, however, was not really poll
teal election. What beat Coler last
year was the Indifference in demo-
cratic ranks, due to the habit of
defeat.
Watching the great tidal wave for
Mckinley in 1895 recede until Odel
found himself in a minority of so, 1000
it is no wonder David Bennett Hill
sits grimly in his Office on Albany's
Broadway and reaches out to grasp
the fruits of victory he sees ripening
before his eyes. Hill is as forceful
today as he was ten years ago. His
sixty years have passed lightly over
him. To man who neither drinks
nor smokes, whose personal habits
are correct to the point of austerity,
sixty years are as nothing. To
David B. Hill three scorce years
seem to have brought merely intri-
cate experience. -..

1896, and who later saw him when

CRUSHED TO DEATH
P. H. Kelley, a Burlington Conduc'
tor. Killed in Collision.

p. III. Kelly, conductor on the Bur
lngton road, was killed in a rear end
collision of a Burlington freight tran and
a Great Northern switch engine in the
st. Paul yards yesterday afternoon. His
body was cremated in the fire which de-
stroyed the wrecked portion Of the freight
train. Kelley lived at 500 Hastings avenue.
st. Paul, and is survived by wife and
three children.
Keley's train was lying on a sidetrack
near the Westminster bridge. when the
switch engine. in charge of Engineer
Charles Hughes and Fireman James Bor-
shaski, dashed in upon the siding and
struck the freight caboOse before it could
be stopped The force Of the collision
was so great that the engine plowed half
way through the caboose. Kelley: was sit
ting in the caboosc making out his clear
ancc card when the collision occurred.
and his body was literally ground to
pieces. Ills head was severed from the
body. Immediately after the wreck the
debris caught fire and the entire wrecked
portion of the train was destroyed. Con-
ductor Kslley's body was burned beyond
recognition.
It is said that the catastrophe was due
to the fact that the crew Of the switch
engine was making its, first trip, to St.Paul
and was una cduainted with the yards.
The engineer says the steam from his en-
CINE was so dense that he could not see
signals or the open switch until he was
nearly upon it..
