Local Forecast Offlclal. The news is that General Kxirr.it Is to stick at the anti-McKinley candidate for the Republican nomination fur Governor. Kurxa is deemed good enough for sacrificial A ext Mr. Shuhmas's declaration as to the independent position of the Secretary of the Treasury, under, the law, the Chicago Herald argues that the Secretary is appointed by the President, and must subscribe to the policy of the Executive or be removed. The removal of a roan tor obeying the luw, however, would not be popular.

Evtar attempt the Administration makes to suxtain the Monroe doctrine should be atis-tainad by the people. The danger of liritiah interference at lilueilelda, however, seems to have bee exaggerated. The time for the Administration to redeem itself from Its former mistakes in forei gh policy appears not to have come. NoTwrrHTSDiia the President's pedal atfiictiun, it is probable the annual message to Congress will appear on time. The preparation of such a document is not a tremendous undertaking.

The bulk ot it is usually prepared by the Cabinet officers, and the little the President docs would be a good day's work for a prolific writer of editorials. Tax Brazilian Government has contracted for four new cruisers, to he built at Kiel, tier-many. The New Yore Sun thinks this implies an absence of sentiment in tbe Brazilians. They have their chips built by people who were hostile to them in the time of their trouble, when the work could have been done us well in tbe I'm led States, where Brazil has had friends when she needed them. Amity and business don't go together.

Juggling In Politics, Cleveland has lately been a center of political interest. Governor MtK.ixi.Kr spent several days there receutly, probably drinking wisdom at the feet of Makk IIaxna. Later, an Kml ikib reporter discovered General A. Ji Bl'siisell, of in thetKorest City. General UrnHMCu is very prominent in the Republican politics of this State, and cannot conceal his importance.

He is a business man. of sense and modesty, and ia not courting the personal notoriety or celebrity hut for him to be doggedly silent when, the interviewer bears down upon him would be to create the suspicion that some wonderfully pregnant schema in politics was afoot that was to be kept secret. So he contributed something of real interest to Thx Rkqcibkb representative, though he was not perspicuous as to all the facta. General Bi'sbxell made it plain that he did not accept the withdrawal of ex-Governor Forakxx from the race for Senator as final He delivered the old and tiresome if we may be permitted to adopt tha every-day parlance of the stags, about Foraker not be ing a candidate "in the sense of being one before the Legislature is elected." General Bcshnxll ought to know that the people will not be satisfied with this cast-iron explanation. Voraeer is a candidate, or he is not and if he is to be in the field at all he is a candidate now, and working all the wires for nomina tion and election that he can get hold of.

We regret that General IUhhsell should make a proposition that implies that he be lieves that Ohio has a population of condemned fools. The General goes further. He says: "1 do not construe his declaration to mean that he would decline the Seuator- ahipwheii the time cornea. I think lie ill the choice of Ohio Republicans. There is a wonderfully unanimous feeling in favor of Foraker for Senator all over Ohio.

The senti ment is that be should be elected, and I be lieve he will He will accept when called, lie was always a good soldier in war and politics." This is more rubbish. Foraker was a boy when he was in the army. His performance was honorable, but nobody has produced any evidence that he ever ate. rebels fur breakfast or slew giant Confederate Oeuerals with sling, lie no doubt served faithfully, doing whatever there was for him to do, but we have become impressed with the notion that all the dramatic incidents of bis war record have been achieved since the war closed. In politics he has been licked as often as lie has been victorious.

He waa signally defeated in hia last two races for office. He was elected to the Superior Court Bench once and to the 'Governor's office twice. He has been defeated for Governor twice and for Senator 'once. That is an even record between victory and defeat, as to numbers, but two of tha defeats came last In addition to these facts, nobody familiar with the politics and politicians of Ohio can forget the attitude of the Foraker faction toward the Republican state ticket in 1U. when SicKuut waa a candidate for a second term as Governor.

It is no secret that the Foraker leaders were anxious for the defeat of Major McKisj LET at the polls; and they would probably have contributed to that defeat if the drift in favor of the Republicans that year had not been so plain. It waa easy for men of Judgment to see that Hamilton. County, which had been the main bulwark for Democracy In 1389, would be against it in lfJl. and that neither external nor internal opposition could defeat McKiautT. So the Forakeritea deter mined to be "loyal." McKijtlxt's lection was their defeat.

At the Republican National Convention' at Minneapolis in 1392, Foraxer and factional rs.ft. in the. delegation from Ohio changed their votes And cast them for Mo Kooky. WhyT Wd. they" want McKjslkt nominated, or think be would bet No, in deed.

They know he would not be. They imply made an exhibition of harmony when it didn't coat tbem anything to be harmo nious. They helped tha McKInley delegate to make such a spectacle ot themselves that they were Uue-bed at at home. It was hinted that they took trains that woulddeliver them in their respective towns in the middle of the night, so that they could gain the retiracy of their residences unobserved and ungfbed. In view of these facta, and for other reasons, we are surprised that man with General Brn sell's level head should undertake to feed the pefple on chaff.

Taking what he say literally, Foraeer may be a good soldier in politics, but be is certainly not an invulnerable or invincible one. He mast be the sub ject of much forgiveness before be can be to truly harmonious relations with the rest of the Republican party of Ohio. Forgiveness iaa virtue till the sins to be forgiven pile Bp so high that tbe offended persons cannot for give without becoming inane in the eyes of the world. For Governor WcKiSLer, for example, to look over the past and accept the assurances of his factional opponents for the futare. and be submissive under their threats, would not be conclusive evidence of a Christian spirit in politics, but rather proof that the Governor was a milksop.

If tbe quality of piety is to enter into Governor Mi islet's action, we trnst that it will be robust jiiety. We commend to him the cbarch militant. The E-ioriKES does not say thnee things to disparage ex-Governor Foraekr as candidate for the Republican nomination fur (Senator, but rattier to show 'that Governor Mo Kl.ii.rr is playing a mistaken part by confin ing his pursuit in politics to the Presidential will-o'-the-wisp when he bus no chance to achieve the prtice, leaving somebody else an easy road to the Senatorsliip. Mr. Foraker com batted the veteran Hhfkk the last time Republican Legislature in thisstate had a Senator to elect, ith murk spirit, and he has undouhteiiy established a clear right to be a camliilute again.

Possibly he is the logical man, among Republicans, to go to Washington; but that is not a demonstrated fact It presents rio reason why Governor Mckisi.li should allow hiiu-elf to lie hoodwinked. In that connection let us quote some more from General interview. "Will M' Ki.iLKr have the solid delegation from Ohiu for President iu asked our report- Mark the reply. hope, so," said Gen- eral BrsuxKLL, "if MrhisiEv is not a candidate for Senator against Koraker, then Mc- Kislkt will have the Ohio delegation. But if Kiki.et opposes Forakek and r-eeks the Henatorship for himself, then I'm not sure abont it." Is Governor McK inlet going to depend on this sort of talk? What guarantee has he? Past performances can hardly be relied on.

How l3iig is tbe Ohio delegation to be for him? For one ballut? Or so lung as there is no danger that he will Denominated? Is it to he for him merely as a sort of reluctant nd perfunctory duty to the state? Is it to be half-hearted? Are promises to be re deemed on the face and repudiated in the heart and influence? We alt remember how the Ohio delegation was for Jorm Sherman on momentous occasion, but part of the dele gation advertised its reluctance no widely that there wasn't a man in the convention that didn't know that there was a fatal vendetta in the Ohio membership. Wliat assurance is there that a Foraker delegation would not go to the next convention, saying substantially: Well, we are lor MvKislkx because we agreed to be1, and we intend to redeem our pledges: but we would be glnd to be relieved of the obligation, and hope the convention will knock him out" What assurance has McKisi.et that there will be even a pretense of supporting him? Observe the air of proprietorship of the Republican party in Ohio with which Fok-axer's clow representative. General Bcsh-nkll, talks. Note the assumption of power to reward and punish at will. "If McKiklev stands by us," says Ik hhnei.l, practically, we may give hlra the Ohio delegation la the National Convention.

If. he is disoliedient we will overthrow him." Will the Governor stand this sort of bullying? Is tho Repub lican party of Ohio going to dance up to the line' chalked out by the "Great I Am" in the politics of this State? We merely ask for information. Beyond a certain pride in seeing the Governor of this great state behave like a man fit for his position, and not like a we have no interest in the Repub lican fight for the Senatorship, except a news Interest. We hope to see all the Republican candidates displaced. M'hy does Governor McKinlkt hold back, from the Senatorship? Does he fear the Foraker threat tocripple him for the Presidency? He will never attain the nomination for that office, with or without Forakek, or with or without the Ohio delegation.

He need not be cast down on that account Daniel Webrteb, Hrr-ntr Clay, Lewis Cass. Jahk) G. Bi.aixe and many oflier eminent men went to their graves with a Presidential ambition unrequit ed. Political circumstances were against them. So are they against McKiiclet.

Kven if he were a Presidential possibility his only sure way to capture the Ohio delegation would be to win the Senatorslfip and place himself in a command not a command presented to him with reservation, but won by good fighting, and unhreachable. These few lines are written in consequence of General BrsHSRLL's obtrusion into the af fair. Ex-Governor Foraker Is still in the position of having withdrawn. He is not in the field, and all those whohave been his supporters have been at liberty for more than a week to make alliances with other men. Gen eral BrsHNELL has no power to put him back in the combat In so important a matter the peoplo take their cue from nobody but the principal.

Still, the General is close enough to Foraker to make his words entitled to notice. Income Tax Deducted. (Philadelphia Record.)

November 29. Lake commerce is made tbe subject of a special depart ment in the report of Labor Commissioner Lewis, which will be filed with Governor McKinley 'in a day or two. The question of inland navigation has bandied exhaust ively, and a vast fund of Information which will interest the people at.large has been com piled. It is the first time that any state has attempted to make a special report on the lake trade and shipping Interests, and although the General Government has from time to time tried to accomplish the task, it has been foand heretofore impossible to ob tain tbe data necessary to the completeness of such a document. Tbe labor of gathering tbe information for tbe report which will be suDmltted by Mr.

Lewis has been performed by Messrs. C. C. Johnson. Lewis McAllster, Thomas L.

Lewis and John it. Richards, hile the actual work of writing tbe report, which is a model in state documents, fell to the lot of Mr. John son. The report says that in gathering the ma' terial the special agents of the departments received much encouragement from repre sentative martrime men. who believe that the peoole should be better informed in regard to the lake interests, and be lead to the full appreciation of how much the common pros perity lsindebted to NATURAL MARITIME A1V4HTACE8, And the industry which has developed them.

"An exception to the general courteous treatment which was experienced. says the report, "was met in the attitude of several officers of tbe Lake Carriers' Association, who sought to embarrass the work ly withholding information. That their action was not due to any prejudice against this special report, but to an antipathy to statistical inquiry of any character, is shown by the fact that this association expended a considerable amount of energy in defeating the Government proj ect for the regular collection of reliable data on the commerce of the great lakes. Elsewhere In the renort of Commissioner Lewis the Lake Carriers' Association ls re ferred to as "the autocrat of the inland seas." Its energies, it is said, are largely, em ployed In national legislative matters affecting the lakes, and it keeps a Jealous guard against any measure or regulation, however insignificant, which might in way operate against its welfare. The report quotes extracts from a letter written by an officer of the association at Cleveland to the President of a.

passenger steamship line at Chicago, which specifies several instances in which legislation has been directed or defeated by the association. In one of these Instances, according to the letter Juot mentioned, "heavy expenses" were in curred la securing favorable legislation. In another place the letter said, referring to a bill pending before Congress requiring yes- sell to report to customs officers every time they entered or left port, and providing tor detailed statement ot all cargo: "We had a hard time defeating the bill, as it was intend' ed through the reports to compile statistics of lake commerce and we were compelled to op pose the heaiis ot the Treasury Department In the SOME FIOCRES. The report estimates that this Lake Car riers' Association controlled last year til 2 vessels, or 008.205 registered tons, an increase over the preceeding year of 26.2S6 tons. Al together over HO per cent of the entire lake tonnage is represent in the organization.

The individual wealth of a number of tbe members rank in the millions, placing the total capital of the membership at an enor mous figure, It is the belief of the gentlemen who com plied the report, which ill be submitted to Governor McKinley by the Commissioner of Labor Statistics that the Lake Carriers' Asso ciation Is driving the small vessel owners from the lakes, and thus, in tne end, being without competition, will enjoy a practical monopoly of the lake trade, and be able to dictate freight and passenger tariffs. The concluding paragraph of this part of the re port says: "A project agitated by tbe mem bers of this body is the removal of state taxa tion on vessel property. This matter, it is ex pec ted, will come before the Legislature in the near future. The association already has declared itself hostile to the proposed ship canal The report paints a most deplorable picture of some of the features of the shipping offices, which are the outgrowth ot the Lake Car riers' Association, and are the bulwark of the organization among the ship owners, so far as tbe subordination of employes is con cerned. Objection to the system of shipping offices lies in its arbitrary nature, while tbe offices are criticized because their records are loosely kept.

As a list of crews is rarely retained in thee offices, instances occur where men are lost or vessels go down with all on board, and the identity of tbe unfortunates remains a mystery because of these Imperfect records. GENERAL DsrORXATIO.T Some interesting general statistics are given in the report. The entire lake system has an area of 95,275 sou a re miles, comprising over one half tbe fresh water surface ot the earth To traverse its entire length requires a voyage of 1,279 miles aud the extreme points reached by Its northern and southern coasts lie on a straight line, 50u miles apart. Along the 3.0' miles of the United States cout line are cities and towns aggregating a population of nearly S.OOO.OUO. American yes.se Ls to the number of S.700.

and costing over 7 are manned by 40,000 seamen: $11,000,000 is invested in ship-building, the ontput of which indus try in its maximum year, added $7,000. 000 to the value of lake tonnage, and during the same period tbe amount of freight carried was 34.000,000 tons, valued at $400,000,000. Ot the eight states bordering on the great lakes Ohio ranks fourth in population, first in Vessel proprietorship, third in the magnitude of her receipts and shipments, and first In shipbuilding. In a number of special features forming a part ot tbe lake industries, such as tbe building and -ownership of ateel tonuage, in the shipment ot bituminous coal. In ore receipts and in fisheries, she occupies a pre-eminent position.

In January. I4i4, was estimated that there were on the great lakes S.0M vessels, having an aggregate gross tonnage of 1.10,371 tons. Of this fleet there were owned and controlled from Ohio ports 32.8 steam, vessels, and 147 sail vessel, making a total of 475 vessels with an aggregate capa city ot S44.138. Ohio leads all the other lake states in steam veei capacity by 4S.9UK tons. Ohio also ranks first in the ownership of steel propellers, having 31.

while the other states have. respectively: Sew York 21. Michi gan 9. Wisconsin 3. Minnesota 3 and Pennsjl vania 1.

THE KOPEK STEEL fYKIGHTES Ot the lakes, ci which Ohio owns such a large number, costs from S1M.O0O to S225.0U0. It carries the load of a dozen freight trains at an average speed of 12 to 18 miles an hour, with an expenditure for fuel of less than an onace a minute. The total value of Ohio vessel property ia estimated at over f20.000.000. It is estimated that tbe ore docks of Ohio porta, aggregating nearly seven miles Id length, cost, with- their equipment, S9.000, OuO. With the improved apparatus in use at these docks 3500 tons of ore can tie unloaded in 12 hoars.

Ohio also baa over five mile ot coal docks, and with modern methods a ves sel holding 3.000 tons can be unloaded la twelve-hour day. There are employed on the Ohio docks abont 4.000 man, by tar the greater portioa of whom are foreigners. A condition ot affairs exists at Aahtabnla, which perhaps rivals that of any -place of similar six la the country. Of a population of 3.000 at the harbor proper, it is estimated that two thirds are foreign born, tola propor tion betng made np of Swedes. Vina, Baas, Pole.

Italians. Portages east Basalans. All these naoonaifries live tn a comparatively small area, and although generally separated into districts, the boundary Jiaea are only imaginary. Of the tonnage credited to laktf port per rent Is controlled from CTeTeland. Toledo's tbe large grain market of the state, ranking third among the Ohio cities, and it has tbe only large shipbuilding plant outside ot Cleveland.

6andosay Is the largest fresh fish market ia the world, and Ashtabula ia tbe largest ore receiving port on the lakes. Passenger traffic of tbe great lakes, says the report, is rrvrring. largely as tbe remit of the building of large and swift passenger steam-era. The freight traffic, which Is one of the greatest value to tbe people in the way of keeping the cost of transportation to a mini-room, will be greatly improved by tbe deep ening of the St. Mary's Canal and the build ing of the proposed ship canal from.

Lake Ontario to the Hudson, thus providing deep water connection with the ocean and opening a transatlantic business to the lakes. BIRTHS AT SEA, One of tbe Toauuratera Died and Was CoaaLsraed To tbe Peep. met At snpavea Ta 1n Bnqersaa. 'EW Yore, November Thera were two births daring the voyages of the steamships Lahn and Westerland. a bicb arrived here to day.

In the former case tbe new arrival was In the cabin. M'hen the surgeon first announced the birth, the Joy of the passengers knew no bounds. Those In the first and second cabins made merry and drank large draughts of "pschorr" and "hof-brau" to tbe health of tbe little stranger. There was no clergyman on board, but it was agreed that it would be no more than proper to bare the baby christened on board tbe steamship. Inasmuch as he was of the male persuasion it waa further agreed that he ought to be called Neptune, and to make everything appear natural tbe passengers proposed that he be baptized In sea water.

Tbe Little fellow's appearance was an nounced to the passengers at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of November 24, and the preparations for the" baptismal ceremony were quickly completed. One of tbe cabin passengers was willing to be godfather, and a young woman godmother. The crew dipped up a pailful of briny green sea water, in which the immersion was to take place, when sorrow came to all by the announcement of the little one's death. The ship's surgeon said at the same time that he bad not believed for a moment that the baby could live. The passengers were disheartened, but were unwilling to allow the occasion to be devoid of ceremony.

As the baby had to be buried a German flag was pro cured, and in iu folds the little body was sent the realms of his mythical namesake. A boy was born In thc steerage of the West erland on November 1. ills parents were Belgians, bound for the West, and he was christened plain John Voger. A collection was taken lip for him among the cabin pas sengers, and a goodly ram was realized. IVE RINGS.

Over 200 prominent Masons witnessed the conferring of the last two degrees of the Gib- ulum Grand Lodge of Perfection, Ancient Accepted Scottish Kite yesterday. This oc curred at the Scottish Kite Cathedral, begin ning at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and con eluding at 10:30 o'clock last night. The Thirteenth Degree was conferred before o'clock, at which time an intermission was taken and a grand Thanksgiving supper served to those present, iu the spacious banquet hall of the Cathedral. After the feast the Fourteenth Degree was conferred.

There were 2d candidates, all ot whom are well known citizens. The ceremonies were beautiful and Im pressive, being accompanied by vocal and in strumental music. The officers were attired in rich costumes which, together with tbe magnificent scenery and the brilliant elec trical illumination, made the affair very im posing. A pleasing feature was the presenta tion ot Scottish Kite rings to five of the can didates. These were costly gold rings, beau tifully engraved and set with diamonds.

They were presented by very dear tricade of the five lucky candidates, who were James Faran, W. V. ilutton, John H. Assmann, George A. Flcke and Wm.

ear roar. November 29. After a suspension of tour months, Stata Treasurer Hale announces that the Ken tacky Treasury will resume general payment on all of the state's obligations Saturday. As a matter of tact, the Treasurer has been paying a small bills for two weeks past, but these embraced. overdue salaries to officials and other sums which form a com paratively small part of tbe state expenditures.

Tbe resumption looked forward toon Saturday with so much eagerness by the cred itors who have been compelled to bold their warrants through thc tour months of suspension ls made possible by increased receipts from the Sheriff. in nearly all counties in the Mate. While the condition of the State Treasury now Justifies this assumption, the indications are that it will be short lived, aa It ia practically certain that all of tne funds will be ex hausted by the coming in of the new year, wbeu a second suspension will be forced. Treasurer Hale frankly admits that this will be the case, andtbough he does not venture a prediction, it is safe to say that the second resumption will not occur till November 15, 1895, the effect of which is to compel the state to rustle along as best it ran during the greater partiof the year without a cent of mianey to pay her officials and to meet other current expenses. i i This ls deemed particularly Important at this time, as it Is naturally to be expected that the Republicans, who will make the fight of their history In the state campaign next year, will hold this Democratic financiering as the chief campaign note in their fight.

The Democrats will go into tbe fight with a mslliox-hollab tbeascby PEiirir Staring them in the face, and the Republicans, who have no public record, no political sins of omission or commission in regard to the state government, for tbe reason that they have been nn able to control any part ot the stale machinery, will seize this advantage, and the Democratic ticket on the question of state finances will naturally be on the defensive from the start. All of this would not be particularly dis turbing to tbe Democratic leaders were it not forthei fact that the last election resulted practically in a dog-fall between both parties, almost equal strength being displayed. Tbe party ls ripped wide open within itself, in ternal wars being most prominent in the Fifth District, which resulted in the defeat of McDermott, the Democratic candidate for Congress, by over 4.000 majority; and also in the Seventh, where Hon. W. C.

Owens, from well-known causes, was denied the usual 7,000 majority, and goes to Washington with his seat contested and a plurality of only 101 votes to his credit. The secret ballot has proved disastrous to the Democrats by affording a cloak to those who would be ashamed to vote otherwise than Democratic If the vote had to be cast by word ot mouth, and it is equally convenient for those who for any reason want to secretly knife a candidate. The is therefore the scarecrow which stands out in bold relief to the party leaders in all parts of tbe state. Another disturbing indication Inside the Democratic ranks, and which, it is feared, will result in a permanent estrangement of the big divisions of the party, is the appearance of two factions which will fight to the death in the Democratic State Convention fur control of the principal places on the ticket. These two tickets are being dubbed "the State house ring" and the 'administration" parties.

The irmer represents the policy of several part administrations and is supported by that combination which has run every State during that period of administration from Governor Blackburn to and including that of Governor Buckner. The supremacy of this power never waned till the administration of Governor Brown, which has been a CONFTASJT CEASELESS WAS Upon it. It embraces also the Mason-Foard Company, a multi-million corporation, which Is tbe chief state contractor, and which ot itself has been powerful enough on several occasions to dictate the policy of the party and to name most of its nominees. The "administration" party takes in all of that element which demands a new deal in the state government and which is changing under the alleged too-long control of the powerful po litical syndicate first referred to. Meneral P.

Watt Hardin, of Mercer County, who was AttorneyGeceral for sixteen years, is accused of having been always a leading factor in that ancient combination. He and ex-Auditor Fayette Hewitt are now actively identified with the Mason-Foard company, having been its chief strength, and he is be ing opposed on all sides by the more independent Administrationists who have identified themselves with the candidacy of Hon. Cassiua M. Clay. The fight, though barely developed, la bit ter in the extreme already, and It grows more ominous as It progresses.

Ueneral Hariin has the political organizers for him, and his lines seem to be impregnable in the larger towns pf the state. The farmers, un the contrary, are lining up under Mr. Clay's banner in two thirds of tbe counties in the state. The fight ls above blood heat. Mr.

Clay on tbe stump openly charges General Hardin of being tbe candi date of the Mason -Foard Company, the L. and N. Railroad, and committed to the 11ns of policy in state politics which was for years dominated by influences of this sort. GENERAL BARPIK PLACES BIS CLAIMS Principally upon the around of pat party service and repeis tbe charges made by Mr. Clay.

He says there is no such thing as the State House ring, of which he is alleged to be a part, and. speaking of this charge, he says: "Why. there is hardly a living human being on tbe Capitol square who waa elected to office while I was there. "I will count over to von some ot my contemporaries. Governor Blackburn is dead.

Governor Knott is delivering law lectures at Danville. Governor Buckner is on his farm in Hart County. General Fayette Hewitt is out of politics, and is growing wealthy in hia banking business. Dick Tate Is in China or Japan. Colonel Tom Corbett is' way out West with the Indians.

0'd Prof. Pickett ls somewhere in Illinois. Why of the old fellows are here now, except Bob and Mase and Jim, and some of i he her colored porters who sweep out and make fires." But the fight goes merrily on and is fast developing into that sort of a fight In tbe primary which finds knives and razors to be used on the general election day. In view ot all of these things there is still much talk of harmonizing committee, bat no one as yet haa taken the lead in getting it up. HB.

Hove tuber 29. That there will be a bitter contest before the Legislators which assembles her tn January, over the gubernatorial election, seems to be no longer a question of doubt. The tare of the unofficial retnma showed that Governor Peter Turney bad been defeated by Henry Clay Evans by a small plurality, bat extensive frauds were charged In tbe Republican counties beyond tbe mountains In tbe way of violations of tbe poll-tax law. which requires that before a man be allowed to vote be shall satisfy the Judges of election that he has paid poll tax for tbe preceding year. Buch satisfaction can only be bad tn the production ot a poll tax receipt, and it is charged that In some of the East Tennessee counties bo attention was paid to this law.

inreetly alter the election several gent'ey men were sent to. certain East Teniiesses counties to seeure copies ot the names of those who had paid their poll taxes according to the County Justice's books. This fact became known In some way to the Republicans, and since tbea they have been unduly excited. Tbe Chattanooga Press charged recently that these men were sent oat by State Comptroller Harris as revenue agents' at the ex-pense of the state. This charge is false.

I'nder thelawof 1S91 the Comptroller is authorised to appoint revenue aavnts to Investigate tbe books of all collectors of stats revenue. These agents, however, bear their own expenses; and receive no compensation -whatever outside ot the 15 per' cent commission that they receive on all amounts that they recover for tbe state, tender this law there has been recovered since Mr. Harris went into office over $100,000 that was due thesure. This investigation by revenue a gents has been complete heretofore as to all officers except County Trustees. They are charged with the amount ot state tax due from each and receive credits for what is paid tn.

and it is, of course, easily ascertained what is due the state. More thsn 18 months ago Superintendent of Public Instruction Frank M. Smith urged that there be an investigation of Trustees' books in tbe Interest ot the school fund. to which all poll taxes go, and the investiga tion now being made will not end with tne Republican counties ot fast Tennessee, but will extsnd throughout the state, except tbe larger counties like Davidson, Shelby, Hamil ton and Knox, where tbe poll tax law Is not evsded. The result of this Investigation.

It may be. will furnish some of tbe grounds for the con test of tbe vote for Governor. No one ques tions that Mr. Evans has a small plurality by the official returns, and the clamor through out the state for the announcement ot the of ficial vote ls aroused by a causeless fear that tbe figures are to be tampered with. There-turns now In Secretary of State Morgan's hands cannot be amended or altered In any way.

All he has to do with them ls to tabu late and add them np. The Legislature can vasses the vote and declares the result. Mr. Morgan's reason for withholding the an nouncement has heretofore been fully stated: Ibe does not consider the returns complete antll the poll books and tally sheets have been sent In, ai required by law. There is uo doubt but that these official re turns will stand until tbe Legislature meets.

Then, Judging from the present, outlook. there will be an Investigation, and It remains to be seen whether sufficient proof has been secured of Republican frauds to go behind the official returns, purge the ballot and re- inaugurate Governor Turney. or whether Mr, Evans will be allowed to take the seat to which the vote as it now stands shows he has been elected by a small plurality. Tbe recent effort of Republicans to get at tbe offi cial figures is now thought to have been made for political effect, in order to arouse sym pathy, and not from any fear of the figures being changed.
