Hearst Won in New York,

By a vote Of considerably more
than two to one, the democrats OF
New York state have nominated
William r. Hearst for governor
This means the complete overthrow
in the Empire State of gang OF
men who. while protesting to be
democrats, have made democracy a
joke. 1t means much more than
that. 1t means that the trustridden
people of that state are going to
have an opportunity this fall to vote
for a man for governor who is ind, :
pendent Of the trusts. 1t means al
most new political alignment.
The men in the democratic party.
who have had enough of undemo
craft: leadership, will vote for
Hearst; and the republicans, who
are weary and Disguised over the
rottenness of their party manage
ment, will vote for Hearst, and in
numbers they should constitute a
big majority.

the stability of. the government was
now assured, and predicted that never
again would there be revolution In
Cuba.
Asked whether his men shared his
contentment with the proposition to re-
turn Quietlygto their homes, General
Guerra; said: 1.-The men under our
commands will obey us. Those who
do not certainly never; were with us,
The revolutiongis ended and we have
won, so we are supremely content"
General del Castillo, another rebel
officer, said: I'VE would have, pre-.

possible; between the Cubans them
selves. Instead of Intervention; but we
are satisfied because the corrupt nd.
ministration has fallen and an honest
election can be depended on next year,
We consider our fight has not been in

Manchester Press vs. cummins.

In last weeks issue OF The Demo-
crat we reproduced from the Man
chester Press, an Indictment Of Gov.
Cummins charging him with ex-
travagance in the expenditure of the
public monies. The Charles City In
telligener attempted to sustain
plea of mot guilty" for Cum
Minis, and the Press in its issue of
Jan. 10, 1906, referred to it as fol-
lows: The Charles City Intelli-
gencer sneers at the charges of ex-
travagance made against the state
administration. The funny thing
is that it sneers not at LATE Young,
as it supposes, but at the executive
council, from whose reports the fig
ures are taken. The Intelligencer
should take day off and post up"
The week following this, towit:
Jany. %, 1906, Tie Press accused
Cummins Of attempted bribery to
further his political ambition, and
designated it as: "a contemplate
piece of political chicanery." The
following is the editorial in full:
"a political organization must be
in pretty prccarious state when the
only thing that holds it together is
the personality Of one man. Yet
that is the condition of the Cum
minis machine in Iowa. The field
has been energetically canvassed for
some available man to succeed Mr..
Cummins as governor, but not
one has b een fou n d who can
develope more than. mere local
strength. What Cummins hoped to
do was to find some strong candi.
date who could be relied upon to
appoint him (Cummins) to the Unit
ed States senate should Allison or
Dolliver die. Overtures were made
to George D. Perkins Of Sioux CITY,
to this effect, but the go-betweens
for Mr.. Cummins were told by Mr..
Perkins that he is not specializing
on the death Of either Iowa. senator
and that man who would enter in
to such bargain is not fit to he gov
ernor. Then it ives that the Cummins
crowd discovered that Mr.. Perkins
would not do for governor. Then
it was that they discovered for the
the first time that Mr.. Perkins is
under the influence of the corpor.
atoms"
