Not Fifty Thousand Colored Votes
in Ohio.
Special TO The Bee.

Special TO The Bee.
CLEVELAND, O.-Copies of The
Bee, containing Rev. ]. Milton Wal
dron's ambitious circular, giving the
number OF colored men in various
States who voted the Democratic
ticket l.ave been received here He
states that $1,000 colored men in Ohio
voted the Democratic ticket, when
there are not to exceed $4,000 Colored
voters in the State The question
arises here, how $4,000 could be voted
out OF $4,000 Based on the vote a
colOred Democrat received, who ran
for the legislature in Franklin County,
this State, he received only 383 votes
total, when there are 1000 cOlOred
votes IN said county, we only have
eight per cent of the COiored vote
voting with the Democrats, and if this
ratio was maintained throughout the
State, then not more than 5000 col
Ored men out of the $4,000 colored
voters in Ohio voted the Democratic
ticket We out here are of the opin-
ion that Rev DR.. Waldron knows lit
tie of Ohio.
The only way to arrive at a possible
understanding of what per cent or
number of one particular class Of
voters cast their ballots against the
party with which it has been allied is
to make a careful analysis of the vote
by wards and precincts. The Ohio
election shows that the greatest, and
practically all, of the heavy falling off
of the Republican vote was in the
white wards and precincts. In the
densely populated colored precincts of
Ohio, the Republican vote was normal
at the last election, Reverend Doctor
Waldron to the contrary notwith-
standing. If he doubts this statement,
let him send to the Secretary of State
and secure the tabulated vote by
wards and precincts.

Dear Mr. Chase: l have intended

letter may answer the same purpose.

concerned IN the success of the "How-
ard Theater," that has recently been
erected in this city. | have attended
the performances at this place, have
watched its progress, and am sur
prised that it has not so far been a
perfect success. You being an editor

cOiored paper in this District, I know
have not been unmindful of the lax
support that the playhouse in ques-
tion has received at the hands of our
people. In a recent issue of your
paper. I noticed a statement that the
Howard in the future would exhibit
only white shows. This was a shock
to me, in the face of the announced
policy IN the beginning and the fact
that the audience that have attended
the house were attracted by the
Smart Set" COMPANY. However, in
order TO satisfy myself as to the truth
of the statement from first hand,
communicated with the management.

view with him. He went into detail

THE CONTEST.

In game Of baseball which
abounded in much hard hitting and
numerous errors, the Moore aggre-
CATION defeated Judith Gap, on the
Lewistown ball grounds, last Sunday
afternoon, by score of II to 6.
Each team was strengthened by the
addition Of several Of the famous
Lewistown White Wings and all OF
the local players did good work.
Moore got flying start by scoring
four runs in each of the first and sec
ond innings off McCabe, the star
twirler Of Judith Gap, who received
the worst dru|bbing of the season
Friedline, the old Lewistown favorite
then went into the box for the Gap
and pitched a good article Of the ma.

outcome would probably have beer

his usual good game, although hit

VEGETABLES SCARCE
Higher Prices Predicted All Along

The heavy frosts Of Tuesday night
played havoc with the vegetable crop
in the Basin. and local merchants say
that it is next to impossible to secure
sufficient green vegetables to meet
the demand, and predict a great in
crease in prices Of all garden truck.
The shortage in the vegetable crop
is by no means confined to Fergus
county or Montana. The pea crop
i'll the East is SAID to be practically
a failure and the potato crop through
out the entire country show a short
age that is alarming. The advance
quotations on canned corn never
were higher and packers assert that
the scarcity of this commodity rem

the demand An extreme shortage
is reported in all canned goods, and
local merchants say that prices on all
foodstuffs will soar to point that
will establish new high price mark
