THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. Q. 1905.

Mr.. BAsCOM SLEMP has not fulfilled
the expectations of his admirers. He
failed to prove himself an Achilles in
mis- fight for Judge Lewis, whom the re-
publican party in Virginia set up for
gubernaloral honors. The former chair
man of the committee, Mr.. Park Agnew,
could certainly have done as well and,
many believe, much better. The free
school book issue, the elimination OF the
negro from politics in the Old Dominion
aud with the aggressive Mr.. Slemp hand
ling the ribbons, failed to appeal to the
democratic voters. About an average
number of Virginians voted the republic
can ticket. A change of leaders often
fails to fulfill expectations, and Mr..
Semp's report of bis stewardship is a
disappointment TO the administration
which strangely imagined he could make
a breach in the democratic bulwarks Of
Virginia. President Roosevelt had
listened to avaricious office-seekers who
suggested the introduction of new blood
into the party, and Mr.. Agnew was given
to understand that man of more gladi'
atOrial instincts was needed to lead the
party. He was later notified that his

nue. bad been select I'd from another sec
ton Of the State. Much bad been ex-
pected Of Messls. Slemp, Summers q
Co.. but the fruits of their labors fall
behind those Of their predecessor. The
President would have acted wisely had
he let well-enough alone. There is
more likelihood now OF the democrats
making breeches in the breastwOrks of
the Ninth district than for the present
republican leaders to change conditions
in other portions Of the State. Senator
Martin stated the case correctly at the
Opera House last Friday night. Mr.
Agnew, he said, was too honest to be a
prominent factor 10 the party. He Is
partisan and popular with democrats
aud republicans alike. He lacks the
bombastic sggressiveness so often mani
fest in political leaders who would ride
rough-shod over I'll who refuse to get in
their moulds. There is nothing in the
present leaders which will appeal to
people. Most Of them are ensconced III
lucrative positions, and so long, at least,
u they remain in the same they will
7orship the powers that be.

JUDGE LEWIS, the republican nOmi-
nee for Governor, has been more badly
beaten than even the most sanguine
democrats anticipated. In the Ninth
district, where the republicans were con-
sidered strong, and out OF which Judge
Lewis was expected to come with big
majority. showed considerable slump
TO the democratic side. The boast Of the
Slemps, who control the republican ma
ohinery, that they would carry the State
was not maintained. The SlempS are
said to have been chosen for the work
by President Roosevelt. The President
has evidently mistaken his men.

The VOTE Mr.. w. R. Hearst, can
didate for Mayor of New York, received
in that city last Tuesday, bodies no good.
About 800, 600 men cast their votes for
a man who has been endesvoring to ride
all sorts of hobbies in order to add
power to his ducats. There have been
pronounced cases of red republication
in the camp of his supporters, and dur
ing the campaign their emblem was
Haunted defantly in the streets of the
metropolis. He is now engaged In alegal
contest for Mayor McClellan's position,
and, strange to say, some OF the most
prominent jurists in the country have
rendered their services to him. There
is nothing in Mr. Hearst personally that
can appeal to any one. He hss in
herited riches-that is all. Had he
been born in the humble walks of life he
would have been cipher. He entered
life with the traditional silver spoon in his
mouth and now thirsts for power, and is
ready to amagamate all the disOrderly and
thoughtless elements in the great city OF
New York in order to be carried by such
a wave toward his goal. He can bring
about no substantial improvement on
the present order of things, as his plat
form Is akin to Mahomets sensual par
adise 1t is earnestly hoped by all low
ers Of law and order that the chief city
in the country is not to be presided over
by Mayor who has appealed to the dis.
contented masses, embracing socialists,
nihiists, red republicans and anarchists,
10 place him in position. Possessing as
he does millions, he can, at least, have
no fellowship with such political sup
porters, aud his term of Office would be
one Of deceit or fragrant hypocrisy. AT
the same time his inability to satisfy
his followers would add 10 their discOn-
tent and in all probability bring on
troubles similar to those now disgraciDg
other countries.

Letter to F. NJ. McGaryey.

Dear Sir: You buy your hcrseshoes and
nails; your grandfather, if he was a black
smith, made 'em. You can't afford to ham,
mer them out by hand, when you can buy as
good, or better perhaps, ready made to your
hand, for a little more than the cost OF the
iron.
What do you think of painter who goes
on buying his linseed oil and WHITEHEAD, and
mixing, and tintng by hand, and charging
his time for work that is far better-done than
he can do it, done by machinery. done as
your hOrseshOes and nails are made.
Mistake isn't il?
He is wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business with
than good horseshoes and paint; and no bet
ter work than putting them on. Good horse
shoes we'll put on: It's the putting 'em on
that makes you blacksmith no matter who
makes 'em.
Who wants to go back TO old times, and
make his own horseshOes?
Between us two, that painter don't know
how 10 make good paInt-he used to; but
paint has run away from him.

UnfavOrabIe Features Ignored in the
 Great Rush of Prosperity.
 The stock market, according to the general consensus of opinion. ought to boom some more and prices of various stocks go higher.
 Untoward incidents are all ignored and hundreds of plungers who have plethoric bank accounts, the result of fortunate speculation, are ready to join in the movement. for still higher prices Here in New Haven there are plenty of individual cases of small spectators who have hit the market right. Said one man yesterday who is employed III one of our factories: T struck this rise all right, but not until after it got well started, and in the last fifteen months have cleared SS,O0O. Pretty good, isn't it? Added to this, have made my s3 a day in the shop" This is one of numerous similar cases.
 A few New York opinions on the out look are as follows:
 Jesse Wassernan, of Wasserman Brothers: If money was easy you would see a greater demand for stocks than Wall street has ever seen. l ex- pect higher prices now for the railroad stocks
 John G. O'Keefe, of H. L. Horton & Co.,: Conditions appear to be favora- ble for big bull speculation. The in terests (railroad insiders) who have re- gently bought stocks heavily and ad- vanced prices are experts and bold in manipulation and powerful in resources. Their programme probably is to make fhe market abnormally active and strong early in the new year and then announce various big deals. This should afford a good opportunity for these in- terests to unload at a large profit. Trading by this time may run up to SOOO,OOO share days again. On such market it will be good policy to realize profits and await a substantial reac- tion." r
 Frederick S. Flower, of Flower & Co.,: "The stock market is refecting the gen. eral prosperity of the country; but now, as any time, conservatism counts for a good deal.'' The same authority men,  tions International Paper company common and New York Central as good propositions for speculators and invest ors. < ~a7 -"- 'f'
 J. S. Bache, of J. S. Bache & Co.,: Newspapers and commission houses are generally recommending caution and predicting a reaction from the seemingly excessive speculation in in-
 r-.5- 4s1z, se probable at any moment, as much o1 the buying has apparently been done by. insiders cannot say that l set rnt1ch danger in the situation so far as these industrials are concerned. Tht general market, that is, the standard railroad shares, are comparatively nc higher than they were six months ago and in, many instances are lower. There certainly can be no speculative danger in their status.''

LOCAL FINANCIAL NOTES.

New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad warrants came into the market very freely on Monday and Tuesday, and prices declined from $5 to $4.oO. The New York and Boston markets are gradually absorbing them at between these prices. This investment is not only thought to be a very good one, but A very cheap one at the quotations. Many investors are not quite clear as to the use of these warrants. Sellers should only sign on the first blank, or the ton of the back of the warrant. The white blanks should be used for sub scriptions for fractions only. All sub- scriptions and the first payment of one- quarter of the amount subscribed must be paid on or before the last day of this month.
 New York Central warrants also came into the market on the 18th and are quoted $6 to $6.25.
 The New Haven Water company books closed Friday night for the usual semi-annual dividend of per cent. to stockholders of record of that date. Stockholders of record on December l5 in the New Haven Gas Light company will also receive the usual quarterly dividend of per cent.
 Naugatuck railroad books close on Wednesday for the sime-annual divi- dend of 5 per cent, payable January l. On the same date the transfer books of the Berkshire railroad close for the quarterly dividend of liz per cent, also the transfer books of the Old Col ony railroad for quarterly dividend of 3-4 per cent.
