THE STALWART SLUMP. (Pittsburg Dispatch.) Official returns in Wisconsin show that the stalwart Republican candidate for Governor got half the vote of the Socialist candidate, and if he had obtained nineteen times the vote he did he-would have given La Follette a run for his money.

The section is one of the most exclusive in Brooklyn and its residents have been panic-stricken ever sinoe the fires began.
