the statement of the thing. If this re-
spectacle jurist up in Esopus prctends to
say that the educated human beings in
this country can. under any circum-
stances. be with him, why, necessarily,
he must cut himself away from Tam
many. But politically he cannot afford
to cut himself away from Tammany-
and there you are! One almost sympa-
thizes with the middle-ased gentleman at
ESonus.

During the last Democratic admins

During the last Democratic admins
tration the government borrowed hun
dreds of millions Of dollars during a time
of profound peace, to pay current ex-
penses. During the Mckinley admins
tration it prosecuted a foreign war to
a successful. conclusion without borrow
ing a cent, and since the war closed all
OF the war taxes have been removed.

Cannot Be Trusted,

(Albany On. V J%ournal.)
The people of this country nave learn
ed by sad experience that no matter who
is the individual! to lead the Democratic
party in the national conflict, they cannot
trust the Democratic party when in
power to do the right thing at the right
time.

Bede said that his friend thought that
WAS carrying the single tax too far. But
if you could analyze his case and those
nj all chronic complainers and kicknrs
you would find that. out of a hundred
of them, ut least ninety-eight ought to
go out ard kick themselves.

Hill tried very hard to rope us.
Are you on, are you on, are you on?
Hill said, Boys, I'll leave the town when
we arrive,
II to win the race for my man you'll but
strive.

And we really didn't care
Are you on, are you on, are you on?

"Brvar's Position.
Friends and countrymen, lets trust him
Though he's not a man to trust
Let's cndcavor to elect him.
Though his cause is far from just:
/ have put nwny all rancor
As I promised them I would,
I am for the splendid ticket,
Though 1t isn't any good.
"Lct us grid ourselves for battle-
But L hope We cannot win
Let us pray to be successful,
Though success would he a sin;
Let us give the peoples banner
Unto him to nobly bear,
But It's dangerous to do it,
For he isn't on the square.
"Lct us wave our hats for Parker,
The poor tool of foxy Dave;
Let us rest our hopes upon him,
Though he's Mammon's cringing slave!
Let us raise him up to power.
Help to send him whooping through,
But rcmember-here 1 warn you
You'll be sorry If you do"

Some co,n pari.ons.

Contrastel with the grand old Repub-
lcan party: the one abolished slavery,
the other upheld it to the last: the ose
put down the rebellion, the other sup
ported the rebellion; the one preserved
The National faith md credit, and paid
the National debt. the other tried every
scheme and eNpedient to stultify the re-
public and avoid the debt; the one pre-
served the standard Of value unchanged,
the other sought to tamper with it and
destroy it.

THE ALDERMANIC FIELD
In Several Wards the Contests Will Be
Very Close.

In some wards the aldermanic con-
tests are practically settled, in others
matters will continue to be in doubt
until after the ballots are counted.
In the First ward, John Ryan, demo
crat, is being picked as winner against
J. H. Ellis, republican. The ward is
always strongly democratic.
In the Second ward, w. E. Satterlee,
republican, is conceded to be the prob
able winner. 4.
In the Third ward the contest is close
between O. G. Rosing, democrat, and
Claus Mumm, republican. Rosing expects
to carry some of the republican precincts.
On the other hand, Mumm is making a
play for part Of the democratic vote
river precincts. He has secured numer-
Gus improvements in the ward, which
naturally have rallied number of men
under his banner. Among these is the
new paving on Sixth avenue N, which
has probably secured for him a good
vote in the thirteenth precinct-the
park district.
The Fourth and Fifth wards are con-
coded as republican. In the Fourth
ward Perry Starkweather is the repub-
lican candidate for alderman; Thos. w.
Donaher, the democratic. In the Fifth,
Chas. B. Holmes is the republican, W. ].
Rohr the democrat.
The Sixth ward is another contested
district ii Ne lei J: Nelson the republican o
of strength in his favor, thru the in
fuence and friendship Of Lars Rand,
whose political following in the Sixth
is considerable. r. J. Cheny, the demo-
crat, however, is we'll known and has
much support: The picking Of the win
ner in the Sixth is safest made after
Tuesday.
In the Seventh ward, Harry G.. Nc
Laskey, republican, is banking on a
strong ward machine to secure lead
over Louis Engwall, the democrat.
! The Eighth ward, naturally republic
an, will doubtless elect the republican
candidate, Platt B. Walker, Jr., over
Harvey s. Haynes, the Democrat.
G. A. Lundquist, the republican alder
parently has the advantage over F. II.
Cashier, the democrat. Lundquist IS ad-
vantage consists in two things; his ma
tionality and the fact that he is large
} employer Of labor.
Republicans in the Tenth ward are
: said for the first time in years to be
cordingly look bright for A. ]. Anquist
, man Of excellent reputation, to win
J over James Dryer, the democrat.
} The Eleventh ward, naturally demo
cratic, has been made political battle
| ground by the republicans this fall. J
NJ. Jacobson, the republican, has made
: considerable inroads on the democratic
strength, altho the friends of Wilhelm
Peterson, the democrat, are making
winning claims for their man.
Betting on the. aldermanic outcome il
the Twelfth ward seems to be pure
!, gamble. S. A. Stockwell, former state
senator, is the democratic nominee an(
, man of strong following. On thu
other hand, W. W. Ehle, the republic
! an, who has been a letter carrier fo1
,, the past fifteen years, has a very large
acquaintance, and will give Stockwen &
, great race.
The Thirteenth ward will doubtless
! maintain it's reputation as republican By
re-electing F. L. Schoonmaker. For thu
past ten days, Richard Tattersfeld, thu
. democratic candidate, has practically

FOR THE COUNTY BOARD
The Candidates Are Few but Deeply
in Earnest.

There have been some very warmly
contested campaigns this year in the
several county commissionership dis
extent they have been Of the "gum-
shoeO order-quiet work Of seeing men
on the polling lists and the distribu
tion Of campaign literature.
In the first and second districts the
contests are close. s. D. Hamilton, re-
publican, is being picked as the prob
able winner over A. E. Lennon, the
democrat, in the first district. Hamil-
ton is dealer in logs and lumber, well
known and popular in both the second
and ninth wards.
A week ago Peter Nelson, democrat,
