following is the report of its own

"One democrat said last evening,

the interests of the democratic ticket

afternoon, $40 and more apiece for
votes, while the republicans paid. ac-
cording to the talk of men who ought

and even in few inatances jumped
their price up to $50 apiece Early in

quoted price for purchaseable vote,

grew keener and party bidding more

had waited reaped the benefits. One

were offered that amour: apiece for

rendered a contingent compensation

money won. This they declined, and

REPUBLICAN IDEA OF A DEMAGOGUE
Aldrich has become SO Infamous as
to make open alliance with crime. He
has done deed which in the heyday
of Tammany corruption Boss Tweed
reyer would have dared to do. Gov
ernor Garvin of Rhode Island, having
learned that great deal OF bribery
had been committed in past elections,
issued a proclamation warning the
people and charging the officers of the
commonwealth to rigidly enforce the
laws. That was proper and patriotic
thing for the governor to do who was
sworn to execute laws when he took
office. But the Providence Journal,
which is Aldrich, attacked the gov
ernor and practically made an open
alliance with criminals in its defiance
and ridicule of the governor In the
opinion of the Providence Journal, the
act of the governor in calling atten-
ton to the laws furnishing bribery
proves him to be demagogue. The
Journal says:
"At times II In pretty hard to
distinguish between Governor Car
wins acts anc those of the out
and-out demagogne. Those who
still wish to believe that the gov
tEH0i ~ ntHtNiTt must NtJ w tiiuh
that II he Is not demagogue. he
frequently does the things that
demagoguea do"
One thing we can all learn from
this. Most OF us have wondered what
the republicans meant by the word
"demagogue. for they use II in such
irexpleable ways Whenever any maa
dlsagreca with them that. up to the
present time. II has been impossible
ior any man to ind out just what they

NEW HEAD FOR FRANclscANs.
Father EngIert, Formerly of clncin-
natl, Likely to Be Chosen at Rome.

An order has come from Rome calling
the provincials of the Franciscan Fa-
theirs in the United States to assemble
at the vatican on Pentecost Sunday,
May 81, to elect a superior general of the
order to succeed the late Father Aloysius
Lauer.
There are five provinces of Franciscans
In this country. The Very Rev. A. Butell.
prior of the New York parish, will repre-
sent this province. the Very Revs. Louis
Haverbeck Cincinnati province; Hugolne
st. Storff, st. Louis provinces; Edward
Blecke, New Jersey province, and Stan
lslaus Jeka, the Polish province.
1t is expected that the Very Rev. Peter
Baptist Englert, of the Order of Friars
Minor, will be unanimously chosen as the
new superior general. He was formerly a
professor at the Franciscan college at
Cincinnati, and for six years was pro-
vincial of that province. He has been the
American representative at Rome, of the
Franciscans since Pope Leo reorganized
the Order of Frars Minor about four
years ago.

MONSTER CIVIC PARADE.
Third and Last Day Of the ST. Lonis Worlds
Fair Dedicatory Services Probably
the Most Satisfactory.

ST. Louis, May "A crash of aerial
bombs at 10; 80 o'clock Saturday mott
fed the throngs of spectators who
lined Lindell. boulevard westward
from Grand avenue to the worlds fair
grounds, a distance of three miles,
that the civic parade, the first of the
spectacles of the ceremonies of the
final day had begun its march toward
the reviewing stand wherein were
seated the visiting governors.
One division of the parade was
most unique. It was formed by the
men from Indian territory and Okla
homa. The Frisco System Cowboy
band, clad in characteristic costume,
led the division and behind them came
SO cowboys, 40 Indians and 800 addi-
tiona1 Representatives of the two ter
ritories. AS they rode along the cow
boys and Indians gave exhibitions of
daring horsemanship which riyaled
anything seen in any circus. The de-
light of the spectators was contin-
uous ovation.
Among the distinguished guests on
the reviewing stand were Cows. Dock
cry, of Missouri; Peabody, of Colora-
do; Cdell, of New York; Van SAINT,
or Minnesota; Mickey, OF NEBRASKA,
Heard, of Louisiana; Senators Hanna
and Fairbanks, ex-Senators Thomas
n. Carter and John NJ. Thurston.
At 1870 p. m. vast audience as
semb1ed in the liberal arts building
where formal ceremonies were held.
Ex-senator William Lindsay; of Ken
lucky, was president of the day. Gov.
Dockery delivered the address of well
come, which was responded to by Gov.
Odell, Of New York. After the bene-
diction there was a centennial salute
of 100 guns. A display of daylight
fireworks commenced at the conclu-
sion of the exercises at the building.
Immediately after the close of the
ceremonies the governors proceeded
to the building sites selected for their
respective states, where cornerstones
were laid and state colors raised with
appropriate exercises.
