THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
Mcclellan Gets the Plurality and
Hearst Claims Fraud.


The New York city election last
Tuesday did not result in an over
whelming victory for anybody, but
rather in a remarkably even division
Of votes between the various candi-
dates, and the disclosure Of the most
fragrant frauds, especially on the part
Of Tammany.
According to the count made by the
election officials Tuesday night and
Wednesday Mcclellan, the Tammany
Democratic candidate, received 228,651
votes: Hearst, the municipal ownership
candidate received 225,166, and WINS,
the Republican candidate, received
137.049.
Jerome, the independent, was elected
dis rict attorney over Osborne, the
Tammany candidate by a majority Of
about 5000.
The election was, in many respects,
one of the most closely contested that
has ever been held in New York Tam
many has been accustomed to run
things in New York as 1t pleases. It
Is we'll understood that the organiza-
ton has no regard whatever for the
integrity Of the ballot, and at every
ele ction 1t subserves its ends by means
of fraud. Thousands of illegal voters
deposit their ballots under the names
OF Quly registered voters ana tnen the
election officials usually make up In
the count what was lacking In the vot-
ing.
The Hearst organization sought at
tremendous pains and expense to watch
Tammany as it has never been watch
ed before, and as the result secured
unques:io~ ble evidence Of wholesale
fraud. Mcclellan ballots had been de-
posted by Tammany eolonists In the
names of people who would have voted
for Hearst or WINS and when the really
qualified voter would appear to cast his
ballot he would be denied the privilege
on the ground that he had already
voted. Again, while the count was in
progress IN some of the voting places
1t would develop that Hearst was run
ming ahead, and the election officers
would close the doors and take a recess
until they could fix things differently.
There were numerous cases Of knock

DISCUSSING the constitutionality of
the Brice law as the question was pre-
sented to him in the Spartanburg case,
Judge Klugh, among other things said:
II think that view would b. sufti-
cient to warrant the court in holding
hat the position is not we'll taken as
to the unconstitutionality Of the act.
But further than that 1t Is well set
tied, so much so that it may be said
to be familiar that an act that Is con-
stitutional in part of it's provisions and
unconstitutional in other parts will not
be declared to be void in toto unless
the constitutional part of the act is
so dependent upon the part which is
unconstitutional and will become
meaningless, unless the unconstitution-
al portions of the act are sustained"
And this we think. may be taken to
mean that while the special penalty
tax amendment is unconstitutional,
there is nothing wrong with that part
of the law which allows communities
to vote out dispensaries In cases where
they so desire.

THERE is profit in this liquor busi-
ness, and l propose to have it. The
use of whisky may debauch your hus-
bands and sons, but what do care so
long as 1 get my per cent. 1 am here
to make money. 1t does not make any
difference how it is made, so make it.
I'd as leave sell your blood at so much
a pint as any other way, If the profit
was sufficient. Yes, the law prohibits
the sale of whisky; but that is all
right. Nobody is going to interfere
with me unless you tell on me, and If
you tell on me I'll kill you" That, we
understand is the attitude Of the tigers
of Kings Mountain township. and the
balance of the county is expected to
acquiesce.

If a truthful report goes out from
the south to the effect that the cotton
growers do not think enough of their
association to pay cents a bale for
its maintenance, then good bye to the
influence of the association. OF course,
the cotton association does not de-
serve all the credit for the good prices
that have been received for cotton.
There is no need to claim such thing.
But there is not a shadow of a reason
for doubling that except for the efforts
of the association cotton would now
be selling for from one to two cents a
pound less than it is bringing. For the
first time almost i'm the history of the
cotton trade. the bear manipulators
have real opposition other than timid
dollars. a2d when pitted against the
leaders of the Southern Cotton asso-
citation, who are supposed to have the
tremendous disadvantage. But when
1t begins to develop that the farmers
do not think enough of their associa-
ton to back it to the extent of 5 cents
a bale. then good bye TO its influence.

The Turkey Crop.

Along about this time
OF year we hear much talk
About the well filled barns
And fodder In the shock,
But there's one subject which
All seem Inclined to shirk,
For no one talks about
The status of the turk.
We get statistics on
The crops of grain and hay
And all the varied fruits
That yearly come our way,
But for some reason all
Their information stop
Just when we think we'll learn
About the turkey crop.
How is the turkey crop2
That's what we want to know.
Will 1t supply demands
Or make a measly SHOVE
VIII turks be cheap or dear?
VIII they be thin or fat7
That sort Of knowledge we
Are trying to get at.
Thanksgiving day draws near,
The famous Teasing time,
When we desire 10 sink
Our teeth In turkey prime,
And dreadful grows suspense
When there is nothing heard
About the chance Wen have
TO roast and eat the bird.
We can't imagine why
Such knowledge is denied
When interest most keen
Is shown on every side.
And. Therefore. Just before
we let the subject drop
Again we plainly ask.
How Is the turkey crop1
