ratify the nomina ton of Alton B. Par

DEMOCRATIC GAINS=IN MAINE
FORECAST a NATIONAL VICTORY
Per
of
Davs-Net Democratic Gain

The Clio b e would not attach con-
elusive Importance to the results
of the September elections, and has
already said so; but its friends
of the opposite faith do not share
that opinion. They have placard-
ed the figures of the Vermont election
from one end of the country to- the
other. These have formed the staple of
editorial comment in almost every Re
publican paper. They have been dilated
upon through innumerable columns by
special correspondents. They have
brought expressions of joy from the
White house. If the result in Vermont
means so much, the result in Maine
certainly means something. Let US ex-
anime what it does mean
The returns from the state place the
Republican plurality at about 27,000.
Republicans everywhere confidently
expected 10000, and Democrats would
have been well satisfied with any fig
ure less than that amount. The Re-
publican majority for governor in 1900
was 34,132, and in 1904 it was 3S, ,978
On full vote under normal conditions
anything less than 10000 in Maine for
the Republican ticket ought to be very
satisfactory to Democrats
But there is something much more
important and instructive than this,
which is the ratio of relative increase
in the vote. If the Democrats win this
year, as we believe they will, they will
win not by carrying sure Republican
states like Maine or Vermont or Penn
sylvania, but by carrying enough close
states to give them majority in the
electoral college, and they will carry
these states simply by adding to the
regular steady party vote, to the vote
as recorded in preceding elections, so
many more new voters than the Re-
publicans as to overcome hostile ma
jorities
This gain will be made partly by the
return to the party fold of all those who
have for several years been alienated
from it, and partly by attracting the
young men who have newly attained
their majority and will this year vote
for a presidential candidate for the
first time. We can tell with certainty
how far these changes extend and
measure their direction by a compari-
son of the records.

s. Y. HARRIS DIES
At ST. JAMES, MINI
Former Head Clerk of Ryan
Hotel Passes Away After
Brief Illness

S. ". Harris, who for fifteen years
was head clerk at the Ryan hotel. In
st. Paul. died yesterday at st. James,
Mimi, to which city he went over two
months ago to take charge of the Park
hotel. Word Of the death of Harris
was received last night by Edward s.
Bowman, clerk at the Ryan, in a
telegram from Mrs. Harris.
The news of the death of Mr.. Har-
ris was received with surprise, for
though he was known to have been
suffering from Bright's disease, his
condition, when he left st. Paul, July
8, was not such as to lead his friends
to believe that he was in immediate
danger. The telegram states that
death occurred after three days ILL
ness.
The funeral services will be held at
st. James Friday afternoon, and the
body will then be removed to Winona,
where it will be placed temporarily in
a vault. 1t will later be sent to Roch-
ester, N. Y, where the interment will
take place.
Harris wasNwidely known and highly
regarded in ST. Paul. He was with the
hostelry only last July to accept the
position of manager of the Park hotel
of st. James. When he left st. Paul
he appeared in good health.
He was sixty years old and is sur
zvived by his wife. He had no children.
He was born in New York, and came
to st. Paul from Chicago.

Now this is not one Of those absurd
calculations so dear to the Republican
heart which, when generally applied,
show that Mr.. Roosevelt will carry
every state in the Union and receive
every electoral vote. Being deduced
not improbable results. In other words,
we find that by applying the same rule
throughout the country it does not
give Judge Parker any state which he
has not a reasonable chance of carry
ing. 1t would not give him some which
we feel perfectly confident that he will
carry. 1t does not give him Rhode ISL
and. 1t leaves Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Michigan and Wisconsin
fixed in the Republican column. But it
does show an open way for the Demo-
cratic party to success in the states
Indicated: and if they should carry
those, their majority in the electoral
college would be greater than any
Democrat has dared to predict.
I
While T he Clio b e does not prophe-
sy that these results will be exactly
fulfilled. while it makes allowance for
differing local conditions in different
states and while it does not regard the
September election as a national po-
litical barometer, it does say that on
fha ha aSiS of the Maine election the
probabilities are largely favorable to
the Democratic party. and the indica-
tions that Judge Parker will be elected
are fortified by this event more strong
Iy than they could be by the matnrest
and sanest political judgment. We
trust that the Republican editors, COR
respondents and speakers generally will
make this analysis of the returns from
Maine as conspicuous feature as they
have the returns from Vermont.

nence by his reckless disregard of re-
straint. The calm and cautious Roose-
yelt, whom we had difficulty in recog-
nizing, is seen PROSTATE with the rough
rider sitting astride Of him.
In his letter of acceptance he
shows he does not understand what
respect of the constitution really
means. Let us ask Mr.. Roosevelt how
it is that the trusts who plunder the
people were formerly opposed to him
but are now supporting his candidacy
financially and in every other way
Mr.. Roosevelt, by giving a frank an
swer to this question, can win an even
greater reputation for his frank hon

has previously snade.s

KUROPATKIN SENDS IN
HIS CONTRIBUTION

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1.-THE
detailed report of the battle of Liau-
yang has been received from Gen. Ku-
ropatkin. 1t covers the operations
from Aug. % to Sept. 5. According to
the advance summary, it is very salts
factory, showing that the retreat was
effected with such precision that not a
field or fortress gun was left behind.
The total Russian losses are below IT,
600, of which $500 were killed.
In the opinion of officers who have
read the report it is favorable to Gen.
Kuropatkin, practically disarming the
previous disposition to critieise him.
The report explains the successive
withdrawal of his three lines south of
-Liau-yang. how the main army cross

assumption of the offensive Sept. 8,
Gen. Orloff's reverse and the conse-

"On Aug. &c the Manchurian army
occupied three groups of positions, the
first at Pettsu and Anping, on the left
flank; the second at Liandiansian, in
the center, and the third at Anshan-
shan, on the right flank. The same
day the japanese assumed the Of

The comparison made is a perfectly
fair one. 1t compares the vote for
governor in the September election,
1904, with the vote for governor in the
September election 1900. another presi-
dental year. This comparison lis exact
in similarity of conditions The vote
for both parties has increased with the
increase in population. Thissis one en-
couraging sign as showing that popu-,
lar interest is alert. But the mo-
mentous fact is that in round numbers
the total addition to. the Democratic
vote in the state of Maine as COM
pared with four years ago is a little
over % per cent, while the total addi-
ton to the Republican. vote is only a

nation Is Practically Over

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 14.-The
following ticket, chosen by the Higgins
supporters, will probably be nominat-
ed by the state Republican convention
tomorrow:
Governor, Frank w. Higgins, Cat
taraugus; lieutenant governor, NJ. Linn
Bruce, New York; secretary of state,
John E. O'Brien, Clinton; attorney gen.
eral, julius NJ. Mayer, New York;
treasurer j. B. Wallenmar, Erie; state
engineer and surveyor, Harry Van AL
syne, Columbia; chief judge of the
court of appeals, Edgar M. Cullen; as
sociate judge of the court of appeals,
William E. Werner, Monroe.
Although there is no assurance that
this ticket can be nominated without
roll call on the nomination for gov
ernor, the air was still full of rumors
as late as midnight that a settlement
may be reached and the unanimous
nomination of Lieut.. Gov. Higgins ac-
complished on the first ballot. Timothy
Woodruff, Higgins only active oppo-
,nent, after a protracted conference with
friends at midnight, said:
My name will go before the conven-
tion tomorrow"
The convention today did nothing but
preliminary work.
Neither side tonight is willing to
yield the slightest point to the advan-
tage of the other. The friends of Mr..
Woodruff insist that there is no ground
for hoping that any means likely to be
adopted can avert the open conflict
upon the floor of the convention at to-
morrow's session.

jority of the delegates that the Wood
ruff faction, convinced of the futility of
his candidacy before the actual vote is
of party harmony.
The Kings county people declare
that. while the real sympathy of the
convention is with Mr.. Woodruff, the
exercise of extreme political pressure
will produce record to the opposite
effect The Higgins men, on the other
hand, declare themselves perfectly
willing to have a detailed roll call, as
it cannot change the result, and will
they say, actually show Mr. Woodruff's
forces even weaker than is now gen.
orally supposed.
The conference which resulted il
the completion of the Higgins ticke
was attended by about twenty five men
but none of the Woodruff or Platt ad-
herents was present The selection O.
NJ. Linn Bruce was something of
surprise after the naming of julius M

gives New York county two places OF
the slate. After the conference ther,
was much discussion as to the proba

sented to the convention. Efforts ar,
