1900 Republican plurality are those of
the last state election, and are obtain
ed by conceding to Parker $4,000 plu-
rality in Hudson county, in which Jer-
sey City and HobOken are located, and
giving 1900 to Roosevelt in Essex
county, in which is Newark The
Democrats, however, coneede to Essex
county but 10000 plurality and claim
for Hudson county 1900. In other
counties of Northern and Central New
Jersey the Republicans make the same
excessive claims.
To be frank in statement, there is
less Justification for Democratic conf
dence in the New Jersey result than in
any of the doubtful states claimed by
them. 1t all depends whether the COM
muting vote is in its preponderance for
Parker. And it is largely silent vote.
Black, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, is considered certain of election.
There are fears of trading of the ma
tional ticket for that of the state

Herrick, although there are enthusiasts
who claim for the gubernaterial candi-
date at least 100000. With the excep-
ton of two counties the state from the
Democratic standpoint, is in excellent
shape. These counties are Onondaga
and Westchester. In one 5000 plural
ity for Roosevelt, and in the other
$500 are conceded. The condition in
these counties is due wholly to local
Democratic divisions. Elsewhere every
thing is harmony. The gold Demo-
Gratis are in line and enthusiastic
everywhere else.
The secret figures of the state mana
gers are $4,000 plurality for Roosevelt
above the Harlem river and 900
plurality for Parker below it, making
a plurality of 10000 for Parker. An
examination of conditions shows that
that this is not rainbow-chasing.

AMfS FACES JURY
FOR FOURTH TIME
VIII Be Placed on Trial This
Morning on Another In.
dictment


Last night Deputy Sheriff George
10th summoned twenty-five witnesses
to appear in the district court this
morning for the fourth trial of DR.. A.
A. Ames, four times mayor of Mime
apolis.
What case. the state will move is not
known, but the former mayor will be
placed on trial in spite of the fact that
a jury has for over thirty hours been
considering the evidence given in the
case where he is charged with accept
ing bribe of $40 from woman in re-
turn for police protection
The witnesses have been ordered to
appear at 10 o'clock this morning and
all have been summoned.
The jury which retired Wednesday
night has not reached an agreement,
and it is not expected that it will, for
yesterday afternoon the foreman re-
ported to the court there would not be
an agreement if the jurors remained
out for year. He asked to be dis
charged, but Judge Harrison refused
to permit the jury to depart.
It matters not whether the jury
which is considering the present case
agrees or disagrees, the former mayor
will be placed on trial again this morn :
ing. If the jury is not discharged it
will be necessary for the state to move
some one of the other nine indictments,
and it is presumed that Judge Kerr,
who is the special prosecuting attor-
ney, will call another case, but should
the jury be discharged he may see fit
to retry the former mayor on the
charge which he met at the recent
trial.
Already the defense is laying plans
for new trial in the event the former

many of the men constituting the
army of illegal voters will be voted
Nov. 8, but with the connivance of
county and township officers the lum-
bermen have no fear. that they can
make good on their agreements of yes
terday. New precincts will be created
without the formality Of law, and the
returns of the votes cast at these lille
gal polling places will doubtless be
counted and allowed unless there is
Intervention from some outside source.
The presence Of this army of Illegal
voters in the Northern Minnesota
counties, many of whom will doubtless
come from other states, may decide
the result of the election, for the best
informed Republicans do not hesitate
to say that the result will be uneom-
fortably close.
I'VE encountered a lot of trouble in
voting our men four years ago., one
big lumberman is reported to have
said at the meeting yesterday, "but
the results attained that year were
such as to justify any little annoyance
or danger. In that year, when the
margin of votes was so narrow be-
tween Lind and Van SAINT, the north
ern pineries cast a solid vote for Van
SAINT by their thousands of men, un-
questionably saved the election to
Gov Van SAINT and defeated John Lind.
In 1900 Van SAINT defeated Lind by less
than $500 votes, and by those who
have known the situation the lumber
interests of Northern Minnesota have
always been given the credit for saw
ing the day for the Republican candi-
date for governor"
In early times in Minnesota the pine
counties of the state were always
counted on to bring in the necessary
majorities for the Republican state
ticket The trif1ing fact that the men
were not there to vote was not allow
ed to stand in the way of these ma
jorities, but with the encroachments
of civilization the lunbermen employ

CROOKSTON, Mimi. Oct 20.-The

Mongeaon was seen at East Grand

FIGHT OVER A PHOTO
Parker's Portrait Is Sprung at

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 2O.-At
the largest Republican mass meeting
in Harvard's history, held tonight, a
photograph of Alton B. Parker was
discovered hanging on the wall and
was torn down after struggle and
trampled under foot. The photograph
was concealed under one of the large
maps hanging on the wall, and was
Sprung on the meeting some time after
1t had been called to order.
Immediately there was a rush for the
spot. Democrats who had hung the
picture fought to keep it on the wall.
while the Republicans fought to tear
it down. The scrimmage was fierce
and exciting. Five hundred students
cheered wildly, while those near
enough took hand in the fracas.
FINALLY the Republicans. through su
periority of numbers, swept their op-
.ponents away, snatched down the pho
tograph and destroyed it under their
feet.

ERIE, Pa, Oct 2o.-A rowboat was
today found in the harbor, near Misery
bay, containing only a coat to which
was tied the following note:
Fred Thompson: You will find me
at the other end of this line"
The line was fastened to one of the
oarlocks and when pulled in Louis E.
Thonpson's body was dangling from
the other end. The deceased was thir-
ty-five years old, unmarried and a son
of the late Capt. E. L. Thompson, of

to whom the note was addressed. De-

Gov Andrew J. Montague, of Vir-

Senator Culberson devoted the great

into detail with the revolution, by
which Panama became an independent
state and the subsequent negotiations
which-resulted in the canal treaty.
Alluding to what he termed "the spirit
of lawlessness which led the president,
in this disgraceful affair."" he declared
that the transaction "above all others
in his career, strikingly typifies his
contempt of all legal restraint and his
Unsuitable passion for personal and ar
bitrary government" The senator
said:
Choosing an occasion upon which he
could appeal to the avarice of the people
and thus temper their spirit of resistance
to suSurpation, he respected neither legal
bounds nor national good faith, and as
the incident serves to Illustrate not only
his imperious and despotic nature, but the
