IF A TT TT ' V«t x No. 58. * ~», t _____ H. WI». . Bnniu VieUry OW f Jidere Van Wyok y " L NbW’Tork, No*. 9.—Colonel Theo dore Rooeewlt, Republican, wu eject ed governor of New York io yeeter day’a election by a plurality of from 18,000 to 20.000. When itwaa announced pjaitively that he had been elected, Colonel Roosevelt said : “I appreciate the horror very deeply, and I appreciate even mure deeply the responsibility involved in the honor. I slfth do all in my power to redeem every promise I have made, expressed or implied. I ama good Republican, and I believe I can serve the Republican party by doing every thing I can to help it serve the state. I shall strive to administer the office of governor in the interest of the whole people. f ' “B is by so doing that I can best show my appreciation of the support given me by the independents and Democrats who have themselves put the welfare of the state first, declining to follow those of tbdir leaders who in this crisis either ranged themselves outright on the other side of the forces of dishonesty or else supported, them in effect by standing aside from the real contest?’ t Wonderful Little Animals. Yesterday was a gala day for the children of Griffin, and they will not cease talking of it until Banta Glans comes along to monopolize their at tention. The cause of all this happiness was the arrival of Professor Gentry and his wonderful little ponies, dogs and mon keys, who gave two performances in a large tent on the circus ground. Nearly every child in Griffin, chape roned by one or both parents, attended the performance#! and their enthusi asm was genuine and hearty. The entertainment is a wonderful demonstration of the intelligence of animals, and sbows that they can be taught to do almost anything if the teacher is kind and patient. The performance consists of riding, jumping, races, dancing, etc. The elephants walked on barrels, and did other remarkable tricks .“Romeo” and “Juliet,” two beautiful little po nies answered questions, played see saw, danced, and made themselves generally agreeable. The Gentry fire brigade, made up of ponies, dogs and monkeys, with a truck, hose reel and the patrol wagon, made a splendid run for a real fire, and saved lots of goods, besides put ting out the fire. This scene was ex' tremely clever, as well as amusing. This is Professor Gentry’s first visit to our city, but the hundreds who wit nessed the performances yesterday hope it will not be his teat.
