Governor Chairman Odell gave out late
last night statement which professed,
according TO the Introductory paragraph,
which wss written by himself, to be an
answer to the charges made in the Demo-
cratic platform against him personally
and as to the extravaganza of his admins
tration." Mr.. Odell's statement had very
little to say of that part Of the platform
which dealt with Odellism and the cor
ruption of the present State administration.
1T is" he said, but a repetition Of the
mud sling ing tactics Of ex-Gov. Hill, and
do not consider it necessary to reply to
it,"
Then the Governor hairmen went on to
justify the large expenditures of his ad-
ministration by showing a comparison
between his government and the last Demo-
cratic administration, in 1894. He said that
whieit was true that the expense of running
the State had been added TO enor
mously since 1894, yet the fact had to be
taken into consideration that between
1890 and 1900 the population of the State
had increased over million and quarter.
The Governor Chairman explained tat
the various acts which had been passed
since 1894 increasing the charitable insti-
buttons Of the state and for extending the
work of the Agricultural Department to
prevent the sale of impure food and for
abolishing grade crossings had meant
le-ge OUTLAWS of money Which were not re
CURED under the last Democratic admins
tration In summing up he says that while
there has been an increase of State e&-
penditures of So, 12o, 1891 the fact is that there
has been a receipt of nearly S9,00O,000 in
the past year from the excise tax, SO that
practically nothing las been added to the
burdens OF the taxpayer. He also said:
Can any Of the items enumerated above be
reduced in any way if the next Administra-
Of the judiciary and of the Legislature
are fixed by the Constitution and by statute.
The States charities lunacy and educational
departments require ever increasing APP
preparations, because of the increase in
population in these institutions and schools.
The good roads and grade crossings legisa-
ton has met with the approval Of the people.
and it is not possible to decrease expendi-
lures for these purposes. Nor would
our opponents dare repeal the revenue
provisions Of the Liquor Tax law which
adds so much to local and Stale revenues.
while these necessary expenditures
have grown because of the facts recited.
it should be also added to our credit that
we have reduced direct State taxation by
increasing the indirect revenues Of the
State from about six millions of dollars in
1894 to over twenty-five millions Of dollars
in 1904. ="

BURGLARS USE CHLORO FORM.
Whole Family Under Erect OF the Drug
Flat Looted


Mr.. and Mrs. William H. MoFadden, who
live on the third floor Of an apartment house
at 81 East II eth street. gave a party last
Friday night in honor Of their tffrty-second
wedding anniversary. Their son, William
II. McFadden, Jr., assisted them in re-
ceiving the guests. During the evening
McFadden was congratulated ON the fact
that there had never been any sickness in
his family and that he had never suffered
from fire or thieves.
The guests all departed and the family
retired at midnight. About $50 in the
morning MoFadden awoke and felt very
dizzy He also smelled chloroform. Crop
ing his way to the rear windows he threw
them open and the air revived him. He
then tried to aroise his wife and succeeded
after half an hours work. The two then
found their son sleeping soundly and
dragged him near an open window. He
soon woke up.
All through the fiat there was an odor OF
chloroform. An investigation showed that
the fiat had been ransacked and that the
family had been the victims OF burglars.
The thieves had made away with s2s in
cash and clothing and jewelry valued al
$500. No trace could be found that would
show how the fiat was entered. The police
OF the East 104th street station we're notified
and said that the crooks had used a skeleton
key. The police cautioned the McFaddens
to Keep the robbery secret from the news

WILL REBUkE ODELLISM.
Republicans OF Fulton County Outsp0ken
in DenOuncing Odell Methods.

GLovERsvILLE, Sept. eff there is any
one county in the State in which Odellism
and Lttauerism will get severe rebuke
at the polls on election day. in November,
It will be in Fulton county. the home county
of Congressman Littauer. The Governor
Chairman's reputation as a boss has been
firmly established throughout the State
and he has close second in Fulton county
In the person of Littauer. The choice of the
Fulton-Hamilton Assembly district delega-
ton for Governor was divided at the Republic
can State convention but the delegates were
under the supreme control of Representa-
tive Littauer. who, it is presumed, was
under obligations to deliver -the goods"
TO the Governor-C Chairman. Whatever con-
victions the delegates may have had counted
for naught when the word was spoken by
the Governor Chairman's man, Littauer.
As between the two candidates. Higgins
and Woodruff, sentiment among the Fulton
county Republicans as whole favored
Woodruff. because of the main fact that
he did not have an Odell tag fastened
to him, and that he had the indorse-
ment of Senator Thomas c. Plat, who,
during his long reign as leader Of the
Republican party, had been honored
and respected by the Republicans of this
part OF the State. The manner in which
the Senator was superseded by the Gov
: ernor-C Chairman as the leader OF the party
10 unfavorably commented upon and has
done much TO injure the future success
of the party
In the rural districts the old-line Re-
publicans, those who have for many years
chaInpioned the mastery leadership of
Senator Platt are the ones who are the
most outspoken in the Remuneration of
Odell methods and they will rejoice in the
downfall Of the Governor Chairman as
the party's leader. Said Goversviie
Republican to-day:
Senator Plat was surely an easy boss
and before deciding upon State nominees
he first asoertained what public sentiment
was and thep acted accordingly-far diff
ferent from the course pursued by the one
who is trying to succeed as the State leader.
The Republican party will lose thousands
