and the intfmation is that Kuropatkin
does not contemplate retiring further
at present, there is considerable skepti-
cism on these points. About all that is
definitely known is that a considerable
number of his troops have already gone
north, that the heights near the Liao
river at Telling have been fortified,
that the pass has been secured and that
cavalry is scouting wide on the Russian
tanks to signal the first Indication of a
new turning movement by the Japanese.

Democratic Theory.

It is the belief of the democrats that
the period Of high prices which the
country has now. reached will whittle
down the republican vote in all the
larger centers Of population, and it is
on that theory that they, in part, base
their hope Of carrying states like Rhode
Island, New Jersey, New York and Con
necticut. This democratic. theory has
been borne out, in a measure, in Yer
mont and Maine, not allowing for the
influence Of local issues in the latter
f beleved in the heavier Registration in
the cities of Rhode Island.
Speaking broadly, the republicans are
ascertaining this year that their strong
hold is in the rural districts, and the
democrats that theirs is in the cities.
| This always has been true, to rather
marked degree, however. as past cleo
ton results prove, and so it may be that
the tendency of the democrats to attach
50 much Importance to the city vote in
the present campaign is not an indica-

Vermont, and where the. people are like

the republican, pluralities this year will
be larger than ever before, and if this
should be the case, Roosevelt will come

jority difficult for Parker to overcome,

Rhode Island has twice. gone demo

In Massachusetts.

Massachusetts has rural population
of only 8.5 per cent Of the total, and
it is to be noted that in this state re-
publican majorities, which were abnorm-
ally large in both 1896 and 1900, have
been cut down since those, years to
about thirty-si thousand, which is only
10000 more than it's majority in 1892,
the banner democratic year, and prraaec-
tically the same that it was in 1898,
when the pressure of hard times was
most felt. .. .:.. .... -,
Connecticut, with rural population
Of IS, per cent, for twenty yaers has
swung back and forth between the two
greatrparties, never giving plurality Of
more than 5000 for either until 1892,
when Cleveland carried it by 5,365. In
1896 the republican plurality. was; ten
times that figure, but it has since been
cut down to less than 10000.
New Jersey is another state of large
cities, only 29.4 per cent of it's people
being rural. This state has had no state
election since 1901, and the high prices
have in the main come since that time.
The republican plurality in 1901 was
about seventeen thousand. f..
