PRESS COMMENT.
WHAT THE NEW YORK PAPERS SAY
ABOUT THE ELECTION.
The World Say* tlie Election of the Dent
ocratic Ticket iu New Xork Is a Victory
for Good Government—The Tribune May*
the Republican** Are Gaining Strength
New York. Nov. 4.—The World says
that the election is am munton* victory
for Democracy and good government.
The World uasuinea t.iat the eleotiou
means that New York is soundly Dem
ocratic in national affairs.
The l'reuft.
The press says that Fassett was de
feated because the Republicans above
the Harlem bridge failed to do their
duty.
The Advertiser.
The Advertiser says that the load of
Plattism which Fassett was compelled
to carry was too heavy. It made many
Republicans indifferent and c msed his
defeat.
The Recorder.
The Recorder says that tlie people in
many of the interior districts were ap
parently affected by misrepresentations
about the World’s Fair. In New York
City, it says, Tammany met with an
emphatic popular rebuke.
The Tribune.
The Tribune says that the elections
show that the Republican party is
handsomely regaining its strength, but
not gained quite enough to make sure
of its success in a presidential contest
next year.
The Sun.
The Snn says the Democratic ticket
developed above the Harlem a strength
which upset all previous calculations
and mounted to nothing less than a po
litical revolution.
The Times.
The Times says the result of the elec
tion in this state is unmistakably a ver
dict against the Republican party under
the leadership of Thomas C. Platt. The
result is something more than a verdict
against Platt ism. It is a defeat of the
Republican party on the tariff issue,
and will have a controlling force in the
contest next year.
Jumped from tho Train Asleep.
Burlington, la., Nov. 4.—James S.
Claque, a stock raiser of Greeley, Col.,
walked into the police station here hat
less, contless and generally braised up,
and told a remarkable story. He said
he had left his home to visit friends in
Galva, Ills., nnd had taken a sleeper at
Denver. The last thing he remembers
was retiring to his couch. When he
awoke lie was lying in the ditch at the
side of the track not far from Burling
ton. badly braised and half frozen. He
walked to the police station from there.
His theory was that he had jumped
from the train while asleep when it was
ranning at full speed. An investiga
tion by railroad authorities proves the
truth of the man’s assertion. He is
now in the hospitnl at this place, quite
ill from his terrible exposure.
Rajs He KI.miI and Hugged Her.
Plymouth, Ills., Nov. 4.—Dr. M. M.
Hooten, a physician who has taken an
active part with the citizens' vigilance
committee in securing evidence against
the violators of the liqnor law, has been

Miss Santn Greene, an employe in Mid
dleton's restaurant. Miss Greene clnirns
the assault was committed in Dr.
Hooteti's office. She says the doctor
hugged and kissed her. It is also
claimed that a number of ladies resid
ing near or at Plymouth will testify to
similar treatment at Dr. Hooten’s
hands. Thu doctor denies these charges
anil says that he will not only prove bis
innocence, but will send the chief con
spirators to the penitentiary.
Fear, of a Revolt In Spain.
Madrid, Nov. 4.—The Queen Regent
haa directed the authorities throughout
Spain to make diligent search for all
persons suspected of treasonable de
signs. The Spanish government is said
to hare received information to the ef
fect that a plot is in progress for the
overthrow of the monrrchy nnd the es-
tablishment of a republic, and tint this
plot is shared in by persons of promi
nent standing. While no arrests have
boon made, the government is keeping
• vigilant watch for any signs of open
disaffection.
TO HAVE A HEARING.
The Horton lirother* Who Are Charged
With li ridge Hurnlng.
Atlanta, Nov. 4.—Tlie Horton broth
ers, Willium tlid Fred, who were ar
rested for bnfning the Central’s trestles,
will have a preliminary hearing before
a magistrate nt Snndersville. It was
reported in Atlanta that some of the
state’s witnesses liuve been scared off.
One of tlie most important witnesses, a
railroad employe, was satd to have dis
appeared. Tlie Hortons are now In jail
at Macon. William's handwriting will
proabably figure in tho case to a con
siderable extent.
One of the threatening letters which
the Southern Express company received
offered $1,000 for every detective sent
into Washington county. The infer
ence was that the detective would be
killed. One detective spent a week
around the home of the Hortons nnd he
reported that tiiore seems to be a big
conspiracy there with as many as fifty
people concerned in it. So far as the
investigation lias gone, the situation
seems to lie similar to that which exist
ed in Dodge county up to the time
Luther Hull and bis associates were
arrested, A gentleman who lias just
arrived from Snndersville says that if
t lie Horton hoys ure released there will
likely be some shooting outside the
courtroom. Tlie friends of the Hortons
will lie out iii force.

to be high suzerain over all America.
All yankees unscrupulously follow poli
