At Z o'clock tomorrow morning in
New York and Buffalo, and at o'clock
in every other city and village Of 5000
or more inhabitants in New York State,
the boards of registration will begin
their first days session for the prepare
ton Of the voting lists Of 1904. The right
to voteis Of such supreme importance that
it carries with it duty that no qualified
citizen should shirk or evade or neglect.
In order that a citizen may vote his
name must be upon the voting list, and
IL will not be on the list unless he places
Ii there.
In New York State this year double
responsibility is laid upon Republicans.
Their candidate for President is citizen
OF their State and is entitled to their
hearty and unanimous support. He can.
not receive it il the Republicans do not
vote, and they cannot vote unless they
are registered. The second responsible
ity arises from the necessity of crushing
> the Grocery, No higher duty can be
conceived than that of Kidding the State
and the party of the corrupt and cor
rupting faction of grafters that is striv-
ing now to disgrace them.
No man can have hand in the work
of ousting Odellism from the control of
New York and its Republican organiza-
ton unless he is registered, and the
best day on which to register is the first
day on which the books are open. In
all cities and villages Of 5000 or more
thisis Friday Of the present week. Oct.
IA. In other election districts it il
Saturday, Oct. IS. Every man should
register on one Of these days.
Register on the first day, Tomorrow

The Registration and the Election.

The Registration and the Election.
Tomorrow is the first day of registra-
ton and it will be interesting to compare
the result with that of 1900.
This canvass, 30 far, has resembled
that of four years ago very closely. An
absence of political excitement up to
the opening of the registration for the
election was noticeable likewise in the
1900 campaign. Is this repeated exper-
fence peculiar to the political conditions
in those two canvasses, or is it an indi-
cation that with the development of this
country the bubbling political excite
ment of the past has been outgrown as
manifestation savoring Of a more
provincial period?
The experience of the Presidential
election OF 1900 demonstrated, however,
that the absence of excitement was in
no respect an indication of lessened
political interest. The registration in
the city of New York reached the great
total Of 84O,522 Estimating an increase
in the electorate in the four years since
1900 according to past experience be-
tween Presidential elections, the total
registration this year ought to be at
least SO 900 more, and it is reasonable to
expect that the growth will actually be
as much The disposition of citizens to
improve their opportunity to vote at an
election for President, more especially,
has increased generally as the Union has
ctr nth hot IN
Southern States the present absolute
assurance Of sweeping Democratic ma
jorities has tended TO create Indifference
about voting among many of the cleo
torate, as was demonstrated in 1900,
when the poll in the States of the old
Southern Confederacy fell off more than
half million from 1896. In the State of
New York and the city of New York,
however, the increased registration and
poll were about normal. 1t is reasonable
to assume that at the end of the four
days of registration on Oct. % this year
that experience will be repeated, the
present political conditions as respects
, the popular manifestations being very
similar. In the campaign of 1900 the
spellbinder was not as important a factor
in stimulating and directing public inter-
est and conviction as he had been re-
garded in the past. AT the very outset
of the canvass people seemed to have
come to fixed conclusions as to the way
they were going to vote, and the-same
condition seems to exist in the present
campaign.
As to ODELL's candidate for Governor,
the indications multiply that he will

From the Schenerus Monitor.

From he Schfnerw MoHN0r.
The Monitor has been established forty-one
years. and during all OF that time has been
conducted AZ non par tisan newspaper. some
Of its editors may have lacked the courage
of their convictions, as there are times when
IL 10 the duty OF a non par tsan newspaper

In the affairs OF this state We have reached
such q stage that party ties no longer BIND
those who have heretofore affiliated with the
Republican party. and the Monitor. although
it's editor is deeply attached to the cardinal
principles Of the Republican party. unhesl-
tatingly declares that the best interests OF
our state demand the defeat OF Higgins. the
Republican nominee for Governor.
At the time the Republican convention was
held ut Saratoga il was apparent throughout
the State that he was not the choice OF the
masses OF his party. and although Governor
Odel had personal control over the majority
OF the delegates, yet, IL these delegates had
been allowed to state their private choice,
Woodruff would have been nominated by
large majority. As 1t was the convention
was made up largely of officeholders. who for
their own safety were compelled TO take or
ders from Governor Chairman Odell. Odell
has succeeded in holding the ONCE OF Gov
ernor for nearly four years. and while hoidlns
that high ONCE he has constantly played the
game OF party politics Of the rotten ward
order until he became the complete master
of the organization and compelled the ofice-
holders to do his bidding.
1t is not to be wondered at that there is a
revolt all along the line against his action
which will mean the overwhelming defeat
Of Higgins. The Republican party will never
again command the respect of the majority
of the electorate In this State until 1t relieves
itself Of Odell and Odellism.

Deals in the Congress Districts ?

except that there is deal on.

upon giving the Republican nomination TO
W. 4. Bennett, Gruber's lieutenant. who had
been defeated in his own district. the twenty
first, for a judicial post tho doubt for reasons

was forced through despite the protest OF the
said delegation in the convention from the
Twenty third district.

As the matter stands. there Ii every reason
to believe that the district will be lost to the
Republicans Does the fact that Bennett
recently removed his office downtown to
that of Leonard give any ground for sup
posing that the deal" was put up to help
out Leonard? Certainly. il the district is lost,
Gruber, who is primarily responsible for Ben

Mr.. ~AL" ADAMS, very well known
member of this community, returned to
the city on Monday. Mr.. ADAMS had
been temporarily sojourning in the pen

invite Mr.. ADAMss attention to the
subject of excavating mud and extract

1t has great advantages over the par

in that it pays at least as well and entails
no sequestration of the person nor dis

What Will tho Outcome Be?

Now that preliminary canvasses of
the doubtful States have been made by
the respective national committees of
the two chief political parties, with re-
suits which experience has shown that
it is impossible to conceal, we are able
to forecast with considerable confidence
the outcome Of the next Presidential
election.
~ Il is true that incidents calculated to
exercise q profound and far reaching
influence may occur during the coming
four weeks. and that O decisive change
in the drift of political sentiment may
take place. Such change was witnessed
In 1880 during the last two weeks of
October up to which time the Demo-
cratic nominee was deemed likely to be
chosen Chief Magistrate. Four years
later 1t was generally believed, up to
forty-eight hours before election day.
that JAMES G. BLAINE would carry the
State OF New York and thereby gain the
Presidency. 1t is well known that the
cup was dashed from his lips. Again, in
1892, UP to o o'clock on the evening Of
election day, men who were supposed to
be close observers of the political situa-
ton refused to be convinced that Gen.
HARRISON had failed to be reelected Pres
ident. In view of these and similar facts,
no prudent man would venture to say four
weeks beforehand that the election of a
particular nominee was inevitable. With
the materials now at hand, however, we
are warranted in asserting that If the
election took place tomorrow THEo-
poRE ROOSEVELT would receive a ma
jority of the electoral votes.
We arrive at the conclusion in this
way: Of the 239 electoral votes needed
;. for a majority it is admitted by candid
opponents that Mr.. ROOSEVELT is virtu-
ally sure of 2O4. These are the electoral
votes of California, Oregon, Washington,
Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa
, west of the Mississippi River; of Michi-
gan, Illinois and Ohio in the Middle West,
and of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire
and Maine. Judge PARKER is equally,
and, indeed, more, certain to secure the
I51 electoral votes belonging to Alabama,
Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Kentucky.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia. The thirteen States
which are classed by Democrats as
doubtful, and which have collectively
i2l electoral votes, are Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada and Utah in the trans
Mississippi region; Wisconsin and In
diana in the Middle West, and West
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jer-
sey, New York and Connecticut.
or these States, however, Wisconsin
must now be placed in the Republican
list, inasmuch as the State Supreme Court
has decided that the names of the Roose-
welt Presidential electors shall be put in
the La Toilette column on the official
ballot. We have since been told that the
eo-caiied Astalwarts' have decided to

FAYERWEATHER WILL CASE.
Appeal From Decisions Of Lower Courts
Argued Before the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l2-Arguments we're
heard to-day in the Supreme Court in the
Fayerweather will case, in which the heirs
at law OF Daniel B. Fayerweather seek to
overthrow specific requests made by him
to twenty colleges and five hospitals,
amounting to t2,lsS 900. and indirectly to
nearly as much more The ground OF the
appeal is that the requests are void be-
cause OF the law OF New York which forbids
the willing OF more than half OF an estate
to such institutions.
Judge Truax, sitting as Chancellor, de-
cided in favor OF the colleges, as did also
the New York Court OF Appeals, Of which
Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. was member. IT has
also been passed upon by the Federal Court
Of Appeals.
Former Secretary Root appeared on
behalf OF the colleges. Chief Justice Fuller
took no part in the case, as he is one OF the
trustees OF Bowdoin College, one OF tho
beneficaries under the will.
