OF all the political fights that

the fight which is being waged
against Folk by the Democratic

OF reasoning. Listen here at some
OF them:

party"
Because Republican newspn-

Because he thinks himself bet.

Because be refused to support

Because he says there is cor.

just as ridiculous.
What is Mr. Folk doing in the
way of slaDdering the partyY Is

COCHRAN IN NEW HAVEN
Denies That Prosperity is Due to Re-
 publican Policies.


 New Haven, Nov 5.-Before an au- dience that crowded the Hyperion the- ater to the doors last night, with many unable to gain admittance, Bourke Cochran of New York delivered the final speech of the campaign.
 MT Cochran opened his address by charging the republican party with making use in successive campaigns of policies advanced previously and orig inally by the democratic party. He said that the republican party is de- ceiying itself when it's campaign speak CTS set up the claim that the prosperity of the last eight years is due to repub~ lican policies. In his belief much of it is due to the natural resources or the country Tn the United States, he said, the measure of prosperity for the workingman is not commensurate with the prosperity of the manufacturer and the trust promoter.
 MT Cochran said of the tariff as q principle that he did not object to tariff taxation for the support of the government, but only when the tariff was raised to such an extent that there was given direct protection for fa~ vored few. He assailed the admins. tration Of the government in the Phil- ippine Islands, alleging that that was another opportunity for plunder which has been pursued by the favored few who are now becoming willing to give ID the islands because they have suc- ceeded in amassing fortunes through them

FIR. LILLEY.
His Connection With The Beef Trust
 As Exposed by Court Record.
(Hartford Times

| (HartfOfd IlmeS.)
 X. I. Z., Hartford: We answer your question by printing the following,
 written after an examination of the court records at Waterbury:
 George l.. Lilley, candidate for con- greSsman-at-large on the republican l ticket is a member of the beef trust 1 trust under the head Of Lilley, Swift < Go, doing business in Waterbury, this state. No member of congress should be a partner in any trust In the superior court at Waterbury l there is on file document which pro- claims and declares the relationship of MT Lilley to the beef trust. That docr- 1 ment is the public statement of the Lilley. Swift < Go; it is made by them for the purpose of gaining redress aL law and it is made by them at a time when they must tell the truth On the 26th day of June, 1903, Lii, icy. Swift x Go brought an action to the superior court of Waterbury against certain defendant; the object of this action was to obtain an in- Junction for the protection of the legal rights of Lilley, Swift X Go, and the firm were obliged to describe them selves truthfully In this action Lii. ley, Swift & Co have described them selves as George l.. Lilley of said Wa terbury and Edwin c. Swift, Louis +. Swift and Charles H. swift, all or Chicago, III, partners transacting busLs ness ill said Waterbury under the firm name of I4illey, Swift x Co.,
 This is their own statement, must be the truth and cannot be denied by them. Lilley and Swifts, the beef trust, are partners Partnership means q vi nf xxyhn in the profits of the beef trust. A con. gressman is q public servant and should vote for the interest of the peo- pie. Can he do this and be a member of the beef trust? Remember that there is a tax of 2 cents a pound on all beef coming from Canada to this country. The beef trust advocates this tax, the people are against it. If you vote for Mir Kennedy he will vote to abolish this tax.
 Lilley, Swift & Go can curtail the output of beef, cause scarcity of meat when the occasion suits the in terest of the txalst. What does this mean? Simply that the price of beef will soar higher and beef will become scarce and this bounty of ? cents a pound or a prohibitive tax assist in keeping the price of meat high when it is scarce in, New England.
 Every laboring man and business man and all people desire this beer trust abolished and the combination of the trusts prosecuted. Will George L. I4iliey ever arise in his seat in con g.ess and inquire why the beef trust wasn't prosecuted for violating the law?
 William Kennedy is not a member of trust-beef or any other. Vote for him.

THAT STRAW VOTE.
It Has Set the Republicans Half
 Crazy.

The republicans are scared out of their wits and began to-day a system of work by which they hope to- turn affairs to their credit next Tuesday. The result of straw ballot published in the republican organ was the cause of their fright. This vote was oD- fained in such manner, it is said, that the originators of the idea expect ed to see a solid vote for Roosevelt, but to their alarm and surprise they saw there were few factory hands in the city yet who claim to be somewhat independent of the bosses, and in con- sequence it was shown that Parker had some admirers.
 Ballots and boxes were placed ill the factories and some of the bosses tried hard to get everybody to vote for Roosevelt with view to leading others to conclude that it was all off with the democrats, and thus create a pub lie sentiment which would help the party election day, the idea being that when people saw that the republicans were sure winners all weals- -kneeded democrats would follow the crowd. But the hands refused to enthuse and as result scarcely one out of every thousand could be induced to ever look at the boxes. If the shop hands keep this up a few days more the republican managers will have to get the militia to drive them to the polls, and then the situation will be as perplexing as ever. for there will be danger of the wrong ballots getting into their ell yelopes.
 Hundreds of Lithuanian and Italian voters and number of uninformed Germans were practically made to sig nifty their intention of voting right un- der their bosses eyes, which was tan- tamount to the boss dictating to them what to do. Such rough rider meas ures, however, were not tried on Eng fish speaking voters.
 In consequence of the vote, the re- publican town committee began send- ing out cards to nonresident voters with the information that by present ing the card at any railroad ticket of flee they will be given a ticket that will bring them here and take them back for one fare. This dodge is being worked by all the republican city and town committees all over the state
 This privilege has been extended only to the republican town commit tees. It was first rendered only to the students in Yale college, but it turned out to be such a good thing that it was extended to all republican clubs and committees. Of course hundreds of democrats will avail themselves of the one fare trip, but they will vote the democratic ticket nevertheless. It is such unfair and scandalous discrimina- tion as this by the national administra- ton and by the corporations protected by it, that has brought the campaign to the intense pitch 1t reached this morning and has put every we'll in- formed citizen on his guard for his rights.

BADLY BEATEN.
Matron of Prison Attacked By Infuriated Female
 Convict.

Auburn, N. Y., Nov 5.-Mrs Annie M. Welshe, matron of the state prison here, has been beaten almost to death by an infuriated female convict. The latter is woman of great strength. She is believed to have suddenly lost her mind.
 Mrs Welshe was requested by the woman to grant her an interview in the. matron's office and at once sum, moned the prisoner Without a word of warning the woman picked up chair when she entered the room and shat tered it over the matron's head, felling her with the first blow. The infuriated convict then began to beat Mrs Welshe over the head with a club. z
 Another woman convict who acted as servant hurried to the rescue and also was knocked down.s But for the timely arrival of the engineer and the gatekeeper the victims probably would have been killed. After a terriflcAstrug- gle the two men succeeded in over. coming the frenzied convict.

CASTELLANE LAWYERS
Court Orders Goulds to Disburse An-

New York, Nov 5.-Another echo of the financial difficulties of the Countess of Castellane resounded yesterday ill the United States circuit court when Judge Lacombe signed an order au- thorizing George J. Gould and Helen Miller Gould. as receivers of the ins come of their sister Anna, to pay cer- tain lawyers an annual sum for attend ing to the legal affairs of the countess.
 Judge Lacombe ordered that John r. Dillon be paid $1,500 per annum, Coudert Bros of New York S3,O00 per year, and Coudert Freres of Paris $3,- 500 per year. Charles A. Gardiner of New York will also receive yearly payment of $1 1000.
 The receivers asked the court to au- thorize the payment to commence Feb ruary [, 1901, to reimburse the lawyers for the time spent in strengthening out the countess's affairs.

YALE NEWS MAKES
 A .COrfPAR BISON

New Haven, Nov 5.-The Yale News this morning, in discussing the list or junior appointments just issued for the academic department, offers tabu- lated comparison of the comparative scholarship standing of men engaged in college activities classified as liter ary, athletic, musical and religious. The junior appointments are awarded at the beginning of the sthird year to men who have maintained an average standing of 250 or better, on scale of 400 during the first two years of the course.
 The News finds that S.S per cent of appointment men and 4.2 per cent of nOn-appointments in the latest list are members of the editorial boards of college publications or have competed in important debates. Tn athletics 13.2 per cent of those who received ap- pointments and 16.9 per cent who fail- ed are or have been members of a class or university team. Tn music S.2 per cent of appointments and 93 of non-appointments have been mem- bers of one or more of the three musi- cal clubs, while in religious work, either in college or in the city mis- sions the figures are 5.7 and Az per cent.

According to the old song, 0Twas a cold frosty morning when Uncle Ned he died," and we wonder if Oil Heat CTS had been known in those days whether Uncle Ned's life could not have been prolonged perhaps even to this day. Of course we might have missed the old song, but we think that Uncle Ned would have enjoyed living vastly more than we enjoy listening to his musical obituary. However. be that as it may, the fact is plain that to get out of a nice warm bed these cold mornings and dress in a cold, frosty room is far from pleasant, and after the days work is over cold room is a cheerless thing to contemplate, no matter how attractively 1t may be fur. nished. The introduction of little warmth will change all this and add a feeling of comfort to any room. The expense, not over 1c an hour, is hardly to. be considered, and as there is no dust, no smoke, no smell, an OIL HEATER seems to fill this need.

THE OLDEST DEMOCRAT. Voted for Jackson at IT, and at 9S Is
 for Parker and Davis.

Uniontown, Pa, Nov 5. Resides fur nishing Henry G. Davis, the oldest man who was ever on the presidential ticket in the United States, West Vir- ginia is believed to have the distinc- tion of the oldest democratic voter ill the United States in the person of Hez- ekiah Roby of Marion county, who next week will cast his twentieth bal lot in presidential election.
 Roby was born March IS, 1911, and in 1928, though not yet eighteen years of age, he voted for Andrew Jackson, under law in Virginia permitting any male citizen to vote who paid a reven- ue or license tax. For seventy six years he has voted the democratic tick ct in Marion county, where he has all ways lived. He and his father were of opposite political belief.
 Roby is in good health and has an active mind, and though over ninety three years old, he expects to be able to go to the polls Tuesday to vote for Parker and Davis.
