New York, Sept 27.-LeWis Nixon to-
night announced that he is q candidate
for the democratic nomination for may
or. He made public a statement In
which he said:
IT am candidate for the democratic
nomination for mayor Of the city Of
New York. This statement is made
with full knowledge Of the uncertain
ties Of the democratic situation. I de-
sire to make it clear that I am willing
To stand with those democrats, however
small their number. who believe that
the democratic party Of this city should
lead and not follow in the forward
march of municipal reform. 4
Speaking Of the municipal campaign,
Mr.. Nixon says:
The battle will be won or lost on lo-
cal issues that are old enough to have
gained d permanent hold on the public
mind These issues are police black
mail and that mercenary spirit which
breeds dishonesty IN the puDtlc$ service.
10 them may be charged all the par
ty's recent loss OF local prestige. The
democracy has not been beaten on these
issues by republican votes alone, BY any
means. IT has been beaten chiefly by
democratic votes.
THE democratic party Of the city has
all the issues in its favor except these
two. 1t is easily within its power to
throw off their dead-weight when it
makes up its mind to do 80. Its right
to donainancy will be restored as soon
as 1t does. There can be no doubt Of
the result Of any campaign IN which
the party explicitly and without equiv
socatiorl commits itself to the reforms
for which the city has four times voted
In ten years. .
Mr. Nixon would say nothing more
about his candidacy.

assistant to the president of the Con-

W. H. Plummer. mayor of sault Ste
Marie, Ont:
''Sault Ste Marie, Ont, Sept. q. 1908.
'"The Associated Press, New York:
Insurance companies are threaten
ing to cancel. in some cases all. in
others half of their policies on the
works OF the Consolidated Lake Supe-
rior company. and the business houses
and private dwellings of the citizens,
because of reports in newspapers of dis
order, violence, etc., occurring in Sault
Ste Marie, Ont. This is to inform all
the newspapers that there is not, nor
has there been more orderly town in
Canada, or the United States, than the
500 for the past thirty days. There has
been no disorder, no trouble or lawless-
ness of any description. nor is there
likely to be. Statements to the contrary
are unjust to the authorities and citi-
zens of the 500 and an insult to the
quiet law-abiding citizens and small
percentage of foreigners who go to
make up the complement of men ems
ployed by the company in its woods,
mines and works. s a. ~ r
There are no cases of destitution.
The company and the town are feeding
the ex-employes who cannot be paid
for the day or two at most, that
elapses after they arrive at the 500 be-
fore they leave for other parts to take
employment with other interests.
''The town is full Of employment
agents offering free TRANSFORMATION and
good wages to all the men and
they are moving away In large num-
bers promptly after their arrival, entire
" satisfied to leave the matter Of their
back pay to their friends or attorneys.
The company is giving them all good
and sufficient evidence Of its Indebted
ness to them and they are either leaving
their claims with friends for collection
or taking them with them, trusting the
near future to see them paid in full.
The attorney general Of Canada has
been asked to take action against any
newspaper that has, or does, publish
untruthful information regarding the
situation at the 500 and If insurance
policies are cancelled by reason Of ex-
aggerated reports and fire losses occur,
an attempt will be made OF collect the
amount Of losses from the newspapers

BLAIR'S FIGHT FOR LIFE
Chances Are All Against the st.
Louis Mans Recovery.

St. Louis, Oct. 27.-Mr. Blair's ply
sicians continue their desperate fight
for his life. With all the chances
against his recovery, three doctors are
aging every faint spark of returning
vitality and battling grimly against
every discOuraging symptom.
1t is plain from statements made by
the physicians that crisis in Mr..
Blair's condition is expected within the
next "a hours. There is little doubt that
the means of artificial sustenance have
been about exhausted and that unless
there shall be a return of natural vital
ity, as is hoped, the shadow of another
sorrow will darken the Blair home
Mrs. Blair seldom leaves her hus-
bands side although there have been
few moments when he showed even a
faint sign of recognition or her. she
bears up under the burden with re-
markable fortitude. President Francis
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company, stated today that all relations
between James l. Blair, former general
counsel of the corporation and the eX-
position, were at an end.
THE secretary a week ago sent Mr.:
Blair the acceptance of his resignation,
said President Francis. "Since then ]
have had no communication. He is no
longer connected with the exposition in
any way. We do not owe him cent
nor does he owe us a cent"
Two important features of the part
that the police are playing in the in
vestigation of the Blair story came to
light today. One is the fact that James
T. Roberts told his story to Chief of
Detectives Desmond before he gave II
to the grand jury last Friday. The 9TH
err is that Chief Desmond has been try
ing for a month or more to locate Carey
M Blair, a younger brother of James L.
Blair and has not been successful. Mrs
Blair began today the sale of the mag
nificent horses and carriages, which
made the Blair stables the finest IN the
vicinity of ST. Louis.

MAYOR WILL SIGN.
Though Opposed to More Paving
Won't Stand in Way.

Mayor Bergundthal said today: Il
will follow the recommendation of the
streets and walks committee, and sign
the contract for paving Kansas avenue
between Thirteenth and Euclid, though
have been opposed to having this
pavement laid this year, on account of
the expense to the city
1t will cost about $4,000 to pave this
part of Kansas avenue and as 40 per
cent of this will have to be paid by the
city out of it's general funds. it will
mean an addition to the city's debt of
about SIS, 900. The exact figures can not
yet be given because it is not known
what amount of bonds will have to be
issued
City Engineer McCabe states that he
has secured from Maxwell, the grading
contractor. an agreement to grade off
enough of the street to make it safe for
vehicles. At present the street car
double track to the fair grounds is
about two feet below the rest of the
street. Only enough grading will be
done this fall to make the street safe,
and in the spring the grading will be
finished and the pavement laid. John
Ritehie has the contract for the paving
at Sf.19 per square yard, and Fred Web
ster for the curbing at so cents.
The city railway was notified today by
the city engineer to haul away the dirt
which it excavated from its right of
way, and which was piled up in the
street.

David r. Francis. president of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition COM
pany and director of the Mississippi
speech to the depositors who flied that
bank at o'clock in which he tried to
reassure them. He said that a commit
tee of three disinterested persons had
only recently gone over the books or the
company and had not found anything
to cause apprehension as to the sta
bility of that institution. There were
no bad investments or loans. He hoped
that those who had money in the com
pany's vaults would be calm ana re-
consider their desire to pull out and
not cause any apprehension on the part
of the general public. The Mississippi
Valley Trust company, he said. was
willing and able to pay all who wished
their money, and waived it's right to
take advantage of the 80 day clause.
THE eyes of the world are on St
LOUIS said President Francis. Il hope
you will do nothing to cause discredit to
fall on the city and its institutions"

ARE THE TRUSTS q BUsTEDP"

The almost continuous decline in the
prices of stocks on the Wall street ex-
change is regarded by Henry Clews &
Co. as collapse of the trust system.
The latest issue of the Financial Re
view contains the following
The most remarkable thing, perhaps,
is that the breakdown of the trust sys-
tem-the collapse of the industrials. is
nothing less than that-has come with
so comparatively little injury to the
country at large. The chief depression
has fallen upon Wall street, and While
the country at large is bound to feel
the disturbance, its effect has been as
tonishingly slight thus far"
Is it possible that the trusts have
been crippled or even slain without the
country realizing what was going on?
Having thus disposed of the trust, the
Review continues:
Beyond financial precincts the out
look though conflicting is not discour-
aging Everyone is familiar with the
fact that agriculture, the backbone OF
the nation, has just secured another
classes are also in good shape. There
has been little if any overtrading of
Importance; our merchants having
escaped the speculative frenzy which
so nearly overwhelmed Wall street.
The least satisfactory feature in the
outlook is the industrial situation,
which is suffering from the cense-
qusnceS of the trust mania and labor
agitation. Both capital and labor have
been aiming at monopoly; both have
been defying natural laws; both have
been working on lines opposed to the
strongest impulses in human nature,
and both must pay the penalty. Cap
ita1 has already taken considerable of
it's punishment. and labor is beginning
to see the inexorable consequences of
unwise leadership. Now that the iron
boon. is over the imitation based upon
those phenomena is rapidly passing
away 1t must not be forgotten that
we are Just leaving behind the most
extraordinary movement in iron the
the practical rebuilding of American
railways during the last five years
This being accomplished the iron trade
must SubSide to normal conditions
Possibly this may mean a period of
temporary Drostration; hut with lower
prices other demands will develop. and
the export trade is ooen as a safety
valve. Other industries are in much
better shape than the iron trade, and
there are few signs of overnroductio-l
the only restraint upon business being
the high prices induced by high costs
of production. Nevertheless, outside of
the above drawbacks the outlook is for
at least another six months of good
business Railroad traffic continues
undiminished. and there are no serious
signs of reaction in either the west or
south. The Wall street collapse is like
ly to exercise a restraining influence all
through the country; it is even con-
ceivable that in some districts a slight
falling off may be experienced but the
business Sltua ton as a whole affords no
good reason for discourag cement"
