TAMMANY CARRIES
NEW YORK CITY

New York. Nov. AFTER a remark
able campaign. in which there was
united against him nearly all of the
newspapers and practically every min
lister of religion in this city, George B.
Mcclellan. son of the Civil War gen.
eral, was yesterday elected third mayor
of Greater New York over Seth Low,
fusionist, the present mayor, by a plu-
rality of about 10000.
Edward M. Grout was elected comp
troller and Charles v. Fornes president
of the Board of Aldermen. These two
men were originally on the fusion tic
ket and were endorsed by Tammany,
whereupon the fusionists took their
names from the Low ballots and nomi-
mated other candidates. 1t was the
nomination Of Grout and Fornes by
Tammany that caused Hugh McLaugh-
lin, the veteran leader of the Kings
county Democracy to bolt and declare
that he would not support men who
were not Democrats. In spite OF his
detection. however. Mcclellan, Grout
and Fornes carried Kings county. The
management of their campaign there
was taken over by State Senator Pat
rick H. McCarren when Mclaughlin
refused to aid.
The result was known early and at
8.15 Mayor Low sent q telegram OF con-
graduation to Mcclellan, saying:
Congratulate you on your election.
II can be Of service to you. pray COM
mand me. SETH LOW"

DEMOCRATS BADLY
BEATEN IN OHIO

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.-Shortly be-
fore midnight Republican Chairman
Dick announced that Myron T. Her
rick's plurality for governor over Tom
johnson would exceed 1875. 900, and that
there would be over 100 OF the 143 votes
in the Legislature for the reelection
of Senator Hanna. 1t Is thought that
the Republican majority In the Legis-
lature on joint ballot will exceed sew
enty-four.
Senator Foraker had a record break
ing majority of thirty-five on Joint bal
lot for his reelection two years ago.
Hanna succeeded John Sherman in the
Senate March 5, 1897, by appointment
from Governor Bushnell. and when
Hanna was elected for the unexpired
Sherman term and the full term of six
years ending March 5. 1905, he had on
ly one majority. after the most bitter
contest that was ever waged in an
Ohio Legislature.
Reports of county committeeman SO
far as heard from indicate that the Re
publican tidal wave had carried the
close or doubtful districts and counties
for state senator and representatives.
SO that the Republican majority on
joint ballot was larger than ever be-
fore.
1t is said that the Democrats who
opposed Johnson to-day will continue
their organization to prevent him from
controlling the next Democratic state
convention or naming the Ohio dele
gates at large to the next Democratic
national convention.

Protest Against Timber Sales.

A protest has been filed with Gov
ernor Peabody by the Colorado State
Forestry Association denouncing the
recent sale of timber at the headwa-
tiers of the San Juan and Platte riv-
ers. 1t is claimed in the petition that
the land board has entered into tacit
agreement with the federal govern
ment to the effect that no timber is
to be sold in attitudes of more than
$500 feet without it first being ascer-
tained that no damage would result
to the agricultural interests Of the
state. 1t is asked that the recent
sales be rescinded, if possible. and
that no further timber be sold from
the headwaters of the streams named.
w. G. M. Stone, president of the
State Forestry Association, expressed
his views on the subject as follows:
"Our mountain forests are rapidly
depicting. The mountain streams are
steadily diminishing in their summer
flow; the demand for water is con-
stantly extending, and yet the State
Land Board was never so beset by
lumbermen, millmen, spectators and
their political friends as at the pres
ent time. They all seem bent on one
more slice of the forests before they
disappear and the present board finds
itself unable to resist the pressure to
sell more and more timber, although
suicidal in its effect upon our water
supply.
I'm February last the FORESTRY board
took up the matter and asked the
land board to desist from further sell
ing for the time being, and also asked
1t to request the government to ex-
anime the state timber and furnish
working plans by which to intelligent
ly adopt a state lang policy in the
matter.
"These negotiations resulted in the
government taking up the investiga-
tion and in an understanding with
the supervisor Of reservoirs in Colo
RADIO that no more sales would be
made without his knowledge and con-
currence.
But by dint of pressure the board
has made some recent sales of con-
siderable magnitude of valuable tim
ber greatly needed at the source of
some of our important streams, es-
pecially the Platte and San Juan,
without the knowledge of the govern
ment officials.
This bold and indefensible act has
Jed the forestry board to file with the
government a vigorous protest against
the sale of any and all timber above
$500 feet above sea level.
ITO this protest the forestry board
Is unanimously pledged and for it's
realization will ever exert its energy.
We must protect and preserve our
forests, and the state must come to
the support of the people in their ef-
fort to do So"

Kruger Not Discouraged.

Mentone. France. Nov. Paul Kru-
ger. former president Of the Transvaal
republic, replying Monday to the gift
of a statue from subscribers to the
Patrie, said:
Il do not despair. A man of my age
has no further earthly expectations.
but have confidence in the justice OF
God. The younger generation will wit
ness the triumph of this justice and
will see the realization of our expert
ence and patience. thank you for all
you have done for the cause OF the
Beers, and thank you for not forget
ting me in my exile and grief"
Mr.. Kruger is described as being
constantly occupied in reading the b.
BILE, as desiring isolation and as main
tanning dignified bearing. But he is
calmly resigned to the events In South
Africa.
The Patrie asserts that an unwritten
chapter Of the war will appear later,
disclosing the fact that the Beers re-
lied on the promises df Germany, but
that Great Britain succeeded in gain.
ing German neutrality. 1t will also be
shown. the Patrie adds, that the Beers
had planned to cripple British com.
merce by fitting out privateers, (which
Mr.. Kruger prevented, not wishing to
have resort to such supreme remedy"

oakes Home Is Taxable.

Judge Johnson of the District Court
at Denver has decided that the Cakes
Home for Consumptives in Denver is
not charitable institution under the
intent Of the law and is therefore not
entitled to exemption from taxation.
The suit was brought by the bishop
and chapel of the Cathedral of St.
John, a corporation, against the treas
urer Of Arapahoe county to prevent
the latter from selling the Oakes Home
for delinquent taxes. The amount al
legged to be due under the decision is
$4,943.95, the total on a valuation of
$S3, 400 in 1901 and $66,72O in 1902. It
is understood that an appeal will be
made from the decision.
In the decision, Judge johnson goes
to great length in his description of
the expensive and luxurious interior
decoration of the home, such as a
plentiful supply of tiled bathrooms and
lavatories, a well stocked library, and
various up-to-date little comforts for
those who pay $45 a month for room
and board; or 81 per day.
The valuation Of the grounds and
buildings is estimated at $3.50, 900; the
maintenance of the home and profits
come from the patrons. The officers
and servants make a payroll Of 81, 900
a year, and Judge johnson thinks that
to include the home in the list with
charitable institutions would be un-
constitutional.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
More Troops Recalled.

A Denver Republican special of Oc-
tober Both says: Governor Peabody
yesterday recalled $50 of the National
Guard, now stationed in the Cripple
Creek district. That will reduce the
total force in the Cripple Creek dis
trict to about 25O men, which, in the
opinion of Governor Peabody, is suffi-
cient to preserve order in the district
The companies and commands recalled
were: Troop G of Denver, in command
of Captain H. d. Smith; Battery A of
Denver, commanded by Capt. ]. c. Ex-
line; Company A of Florence, Company
E OF Fort Collins and Company H OF
Fort Morgan.
With these troops will come the re-
tired officers now on active duty and
several of the colonels on the COVER
nor's staff. The situation is clearing
sufficiently to make this change advis-
able and Governor Peabody stated yes
terday afternoon that he thought that
the rest of the troops could be sent to
their homes before long. Il believe"
said Governor Peabody, that the situa-
tion in Cripple Creek warrants the
sending of the troops to their homes,
and for this reason I have done SO.
am in hopes that before another week
has passed that the remainder Of the
troops can be sent back to their
homes. I have thought it advisable to
return the retired officers and some OF
the colonies. The situation is now
such that only enough for a provost
guard are needed, and the $50 men now
in the district will be sufficient for
that"

Complaint Against Judge Seeds.

In a brief filed in the Court of Ap-
peals October 31st. charges are made
that Judge William P. Seeds made
such remarks in the conduct Of case
that the remarks could well be taken
as resembling anarchy. The brief is
on behalf Of the appellants in the Grip
pie Creek election case and is entitled
THE City Council Of the City Of Grip
pie Creek, ct al, Against James E.
Hanley and w. G. Shultz." The at
torneys in the case ore for the city
council and are Messrs. Temple,
Crump, James Owen, George H. Kohn
and Charles c. Butler. The members
of the city council are contesting the
right Of James E. Hanley and w. G..
Shultz to seats in the city council. In
the trial court Judge Seeds decided
for the two members seeking seats and
the case comes to the Court of Ap-
peals.
The statement, which is said to be
eminently unfair on the part Of the
court, was made, it is claimed in the
brief, at the opening of the case. On
account Of the bias of the court a
change Of venue was asked. The re-
marks which are cited in the brief fol-
low:
1T appears that the petitioners,
Hanley and Shultz, were elected by a
majority Of the votes cast, and re-
oeivee their certificates of election
from the proper officers, and where
1t appears that they have been arbi-
trarily removed from Office and their
places given to men who were not
elected and had no right thereto. II
courts refuse to grant redress in such
cases, the people will take the matter
into their own hands, and would be
justified in so doing"
This coming from the presiding
Judge in the case is said in the brief
to be SO startling as to arouse fears
of the parties against whom they were
directed. 1t is claimed that after this
remark the Judge should have granted
change of venue.

CAMPBELL CARRIES COLORADO
BY EIGHT THOUSAND PLURALITY

Denver, Nov. 4.-The News this
morning sums up election returns SO
far received as follows:
In spite of a Democratic plurality
Of over $500 rolled up for Judge Will
son in Denver the state has been car
ried for Judge Campbell, Republican,
by between 1000 and 5000 plurality.
The following table shows the plu-
ralities as between Judge Wilson and
Judge Campbell. In several counties
Judge Overs ran second. The table
indicates plurality OIL 1889 for Judge
Campbell:
The vote for Judge Overs could not
be accurately tabulated last night, but
it will probably run 10000 in the
state. He ran second in Lake, Pitkin
and Clear Creek counties and was the
means of giving campbell plurality
in number of counties carried by
the present occupant of the Supreme
Bench. A noteworthy instance was
in Ouray county, which was carried
by Republican candidate by plu-
rality for the first time in. several
years. Las Animas and San Migue,
counties also gave Republican plural
tiles. The vote es -lmated to have
been given to Judge Overs in some
Of the counties is as follows: Denver,
2.040; Pitkin. 500; Lake, 1.O76; Clear
Creek, 400; Ouray. $50; Morgan. Al;
Jefferson, 200; Logan, 100; Boulder.
300; Fremont, 250; Delta, so; Dolores,
rs. These twelve counties gave him
about 5,138 votes.
The vote as a whole was exceed
ingly light, though it was aided in the
Boulder, Weld and Larimer judicial
district and in the Ell Paso, Teller and
Douglas districts by the local races for
the district bench. In both instances
the Republican candidate was success
full, Judge Garrigues winning in the
northern district and Judge Lewis in
the Southern. In other counties the
vote did not equal one-fourth of the
| registration and in some plces fell as
low as ten per cent.
Following are the pluralities as
shown by returns up to this morning:
