| The fight referred to was I'm the
Saratoga Republican State Conven.
ton few days ago There is what
Theodore in part says:
That fight, as ] regarded 1t. was
primarily fight for the great fun.
damentals of citizenship 1t was a
fight against corruption, against what
is the absolute negation of democra-
cy, and that is. against bossism. and
fight for genuine popular rule. We
carried the issue TO triumphant con.
clusion and in our platform embodied
all three planks, and on that platform
as candidate We put man OF un-
tiinching courage and high and stain.
less character.
at was absolutely essential to good
citizenship that we should win on
the vital issues. that We would win
on the great principles of insisting
that there should be no pardon for the
dishonest public servant and least of
all for the dishonest public servant of
our own party; that no boss or group
of the bosses should rule the party
and that the people should exercise
their right to control their own af-
fairs"
Vote for the men on the Democratic
ticket this year and thus eXterminate
the bosses.

1.-THE TICKET"

In printing the Republican ticket
inasmuch as the designation leaves
the matter open the several guesses
we would like to inquire the animus
Does the Telegraph mean to leave the
impression that it IS THE ticket in
the sense we use the article when we
intend TO convey the idea tina; the PEI.
son or thing referred 20 is the "onli.
est on the track? If this be the case
the intention would be clearer If the
article had been set in several points
larger type. In this instance, how
ever. if we do not greatly misread
the signs of the times and the tenn
per of the people, the Telegraph is
much mistaken. THE ticket is the
Democratic ticket and we are not
ashamed to give it the party name.
Again. the Telegraph may be up to
the old machine trick practiced at the
Republican primary, when the stand
pats were ranged on one side of the
ticket and the insurgents on the 9th
or, the latter becoming Democrats
Prohibitionists, wet folks, or anything
when an uniformed voter occurred
ON the scene. Any way the Telegraph
should give its ticket a name that the
wayfaring voter might catch it at a
glance, and not try to leave the i'm
preston that it is the Democratic
ticket since this is THE ticket.

A VOLCANIC BEACON.
Curious Lighthouse of the Republic Of

+ The republic OF San Salvador. on the
Pacific side of Central America, is the

The volcanic beacon is about eight

no other lighthouse than the volcano.
but that is a sufficient excuse for the

that accompany the eruptions sound

A pretty wedding took place at st.
Mary's Catholic Church Monday morn
ing when Miss Sara Frances Hincks,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James J.
Hincks, was united in marriage to
Joseph P. Mccormack of Bethel by
Rev. Father Alliott of Burlington.
Miss Lucia C. Hincks, a sister of the
bride, was bridesmaid and Thomas H.
BARLEY of Vergennes, a classmate of
the groom, was best man. The bride
was attired in white messaline trimmed
with embroidered bands, wore a large
black hat and carried a topaz rosary.
The bridesmaid was gowned in a change
able champagne and old rose messaline,
wore large black hat and carried a
garnet rosary.
The bridal party entered the church
to the strains of the wedding march,
''Laus Deo" from "Messe de Marriage" "
by Dubois, which was rendered by
Miss Mary E. Flynn. P. ]. Hincks, a
brother of the bride, and DR.. P. L.
Dorey were ushers. The gift of the
groom to the bride was gold watch.
The gift of the groom to the best man
was stickpin and to the ushers were
cuff links. The gift of the bride to the
bridesmaid was gold watch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormack were the

The above is list of the State Off

Lieut.. Gov. John A. Mead was elect
ed to the Governorship by majority of
something over 14,000, which is the
smallest majority given any Republi-
can candidate for many years, with one
or two exceptions. At the time or CIV
ing out these hgureS a lew small towns
were yet to be heard from, and it is
possible that DIR. Mead's majority may
be in excess of the above figure.
The vote in 1908 for Prouty, repub-
lican, was 45, 598 and Burke, democrat,
1896 making Prouty's plurality,
90, 645.
Partial returns from congressional
districts indicate that both Foster and
Plumley ran ahead of DIR. Mead.
The election was marked by great
falling off in the republican vote, con-
siderable increase in the democratic
vote and by heavy gains by the demo-
Gratis in the Legislature. The Senate,
as usual, will be strongly republican.

They could scarcely have obtained food and as none has returned it is pre- sumed they were cut off by the fire.
 "When l left Thompson this morning a wall of fire hundreds of feet in height was sweeping in from the west. The people of Thompson, about 300, had packed all their effects and were pre- pared to flee to Plains, 25 miles west.
 "Thompson began to be crowded with refugees several days ago. From White Pine, Mont, Burke, Mont, and from other points they have come tramping in, men, women and children, blistered, heart-broken and without dollar, escap- ing only with their lives.
 ''The fire has been burning around Plains and is burning east of Paradise, and in several other places. All hope of fighting 1t has been abandoned and Thompson seems hopelessly cut off. Plains Is still open, and being the largest town in Sanders county, can accommodate the refugees, but nobody knows whether Plains, which is surrounded by dense for ests, was set afame.

His support piled up seven errors behind him, which lost the contest. Curnane pitched we'll but his hard luck seemed to follow him. Many bonehead plays figured in this contest also Scores:

RANKING OF TEAMS
 AT CAMP PERRY

Camp Perry, O., August 23.-The end of the second day of the na- tional match finds the United States service rifle teams still lead by the infantry, in possession of all the first five places and with New York rank ing sixth, heading the 3S National Guard teams, but hard pushed by Massachusetts only two points in the rear.
 There was no record-breaking today on account of the poor light this morning and a gale that burst on the range when the 1000-yard stage was only half done. The 200 rapid fire work, which this year, has been transferred to the 600-yard targets. this afternoon caused general shake in the ranks of the teams.
 Tho ten leaders finished as follows.
