A SERIES OF MURDERS.

A Connecticut Farmer Is Alleged to
Have Killed Four 'People-He is Ar
rested.
Colchester, Conn, Aug. 31.-That
| Gershon B. Marx, now held in the
Norwich county Jail, is the perpetratoT
of series of cold blooded murders
probably without precedent in the his
tory of Connecticut, is the belief Of
the state officials who yesterday be-
gan search for bodies on the Marx
farm. Four murders and an attempt
to poison another man can, it is be-
lieved by these officials be traced to
| Marx.
The bodies of two of Marks victims.
Joe Pavol and Joe jain, have been
found. Marx is awaiting trial charged
with the murder of Pavol his wife be-
ing held as witness for the state
The two bodies for which the search
was begun Tuesday are those of an
18-year- boy and a Hebrew ped
dler.
The boy, who was known as Harry.
arrived in New York from Russia
three years ago and came here to
work for Marx. He worked on the
farm for about six mont hS and then
suddenly disappeared.
The Hebrew peddler went to the
Marx home one evening about two
years ago and he has not been seen
alive since, so far as known.
4 Polander known as "Joe" on
Tuesday made a statement to Sheriff
Jackson in which he accused Marx of
attending to end his life with poison
ed whisky.
The motive for the crime can only
be traced to an insane desire on the
part of Marx to escape paying money
to persons to whom he was indebted.
Marx always slept with his hired
man, his wife and four children sleep
ing in an adjoining room. 1t Is said
that he drugged his victims when they
pressed him for their wages, and then
crushed their heads with an ak.

After the election Gen, Harrison.
in submitting his annual message TO
congress, directed attention to the pros
perity prevailing throughout the coun-
try The defeat of the republican par
ty and the consequent change in the
economic policy of the government
started a sharp reaction in the indus
trial world 1t is impossible TO over
throw great economic policies without
changing industrial and commercial
conditions. 1t could not be done in
1892, and it cannot be successfully ac-
complshed to-day
The four years succeeding Gen. Har-
rison's defeat will not soon be forgotten.
They stand in sharp contrast with the
years of republican administration both
before and after. They were four years
of arrested development, Of panic and
distress without a parallel in American
history Field factory and mine suf-
fered alike. Vast armies of unem-
ployed marched through the country,
hopelessy seeking an opportunity to
work, regardless alike of either the
number of hours or the rate of wage.
To many from foreign shores who have
since then sought cur hospitality, and
to many of the young men of our Own
country who for the first time will eXer-
else the highest privilege of an Amer
lean freeman. this may seem an over
drawn picture. There are many Of our
countrymen who will confirm it with
testimony gathered in their own hard
experience.
Return to Republican Rule.
In 1896 the American people resolved
to return to republican administration
and to republican policies. We came
into power pledged to overthrow the
democratic tariff law and to enact in
lieu of it genuine protective measure
President Mckinley realizing full we'll
the public needs. convened congress as
speedily as possible after his inaugura-
ton to carry out our pledge. Months
were spent in an exhaustive cOnsidera-
tion Of the entire subject and in due
time we put upon the statute books the
istration and this measure gave con-
fdence to the country. Fires were
started in the great industrial centers
A profitable market was created for
the products of the farms of Vermont,

Roosevelt Has Succeeded.

Judged by any test we may apply,
the administration of President Roose-
welt has been eminentiy successful.
The last three years have been years OF
exceptional prosperity Business has
been active in the market-places. In
dustry has flourished, ard the farmer
has prospered in an unusual degree.
Prosperity has not been confined to
limited areas, but has extended through
out the country II has not been re-
stricted to few. but has been enjoyed
by the many Domestic trade has ex-
panded to proportions never before at
tanned, and our exports have reached
the highest figures in our history. In
short, the last three years have been
years of commercial growth, Of domes-
tic peace and of expanding power.
AS in 1892, the democratic party now
denounCes protection as a robbery of
the many to enhance the few" and
pledges itself to overthrow the Dingley
law through a revision and reduction
of the tariff What will be the result
of such a policy? We will find most
conclusive answer in the four years
of the last democratic administration.
Let the American people take the dem
ocratic platform and the record of the
last democratic administration in one
hand and the republican platform and
the record of the republican adminis-
tration during the last three years in
the other, and pronounce their judg-
ment.
