TAGGART PRAISES
JOSEPH v. FOLK.
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN SAYS PEo-
PIE WE'RE SATISFIED WITH
CONDITIONS.
WILL NOT RESIGN his POSITION.
Polk Has The Confidence of Demo
crazy and Would Make whirl-
wind Campaign in 1905"
Says He.
WILL NOT RESIGN His POSITION,

NEW YORK, Nov.1l.-Tom Taggart,
chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee, stood In the headquarters
opposite the Waldorf to-day and de-
clared emphatically that be bad no in
tention OF resigning, nor was there
any reason for reorganizing the par
ty.
Taggart was very chilly when Bry-
ans name was mentioned, but when
someone suggested Joseph v. Folk Of
Missouri as a Democratic candidate
for 1905, the Indiana mans smile ex-
pressed great warmth.
Folk has the confidence OF every
Democrat throughout the country and
would make a whirlwind compaign, :"
be declared.
The first question asked OF Taggart
was whether he bad come back TO
New York Bryan man.
Il came back, as l went away, a
Democrat" be replied, shortly.
awin the National Committee is
sue any formal statement about the
defeats"
1.-THE National Committee has not
very much to say now. No man, no
policy, no platform could have stopped
the cyclone. There's no accounting
for a cyclone. Neither party, the Re-
publican nor the Democratic, had a
line on it. 1t was q surprise to both.
There are no excuses to make
Someone asked about the reported
lack Of harmony in the Democratic
National Committee
1.-THE utmost harmony has prevail
ed" declared Taggart There has
been no heart-burning, save for this
great defeat
"Will you resign" asked a pertinac-
ious inquirer.
"No. The entire committee expect
to retain their positions until 1906
shall establish permanent headQuar'
ters at Indianapolis or French Lick
Springs"
| A questiouer asked IL Mr.. Bryan
would not be the next party leader or
possibly, the next presidential candl
date.
"Itis too early 20 talk about candi'
dates or Leaders, snapped out Tag
CART.
Someone then suggested that FOIL
Of Missouri might prove TO be The
Moses to lead the party out Of The
wilderness, Taggart warmed up i'm
m~ediately. Folk has the confidence
of every Democrat throughout the
country and would make q whlrlwind
campaign" be declared.
Then be added: There will no re
organization OF the party. The people
Of the country were merely satisfied
with the conditions OF the country a,
they we're and thought that Theodore
Roosevelt could p~erpetuate these con
ditions better than Alton B. Parker.
1.-THE Democratic party is all right
1t never looks back to go oye thu
past, but always looks to the future
And as soon as the National Commit
tee has got a little rest It will begir
on the 1908 campaign

by seeing how much cheaper they
could make their purchases than on
Monday. In general the market was
full loo lower than Monday with the
good butcher and heavy hogs being
the easiest to sell. Mixed packing
hogs were dull and draggy all day.
Good lights and the very best pigs
were fair sellers but anything on the
trashy order found a very dull, mean
market as buyers could get plenty OF
the better grades. A good many half.

unsold. The market closed steady

 The Coming Great Branford Fair.
 Arrangements have been made this year by Louis A Fisk, proprietor of the Branford Driving park, so that the patrons of his driving park can go ri- rect to the grounds on exhibition days. No change of cars will be necessary as all special trains leaving the Union sta tion in this city will run direct to the grounds.
 For some time MT. Fisk has been en- gagged upon a plan whereby the pat rons Of his driving park would not be obliged to change cars and this year he has seen the realization of this ambi- ton.
 As a sufficient inducement to make the attendance even greater this year than ever special trains will go direct to the Branford fair grounds. The fair is announced for September 27, 2S, g and 30.
 The attendance at the Branford fair has generally been large, but with the advantages of having direct transit to the grounds many more will attend than ever before.
 The attractions for the Branford fair are to be even greater than ever. Ev- erything is being done to make it a big success.
