DEMOCRATIC VIC
TORY IN NEW YORK
McClellan is Elected Mayor Over
Low by Plurality of Over
70,000
TAMMANY’S PREDICTION WERENOTWIND
Results in Other States—Democratic Out
look for the Presidency
is Bright
After the most bitter campaign in
the history of New York city George B.
McClellan was elected mayor of greater
New York with a plurality of over 70,000
votes. This is all the more remarkable
in so far as McClellan carried every
single district with the exception of
Richmond which Low carried with about
800. Mayor Low claimed all the credit
for the clean administration iu New
York during the past two years. The
most conservative people, however, give
Comptroller Grout credit for it and he
Veingou the democratic ticket no reason
for voting for Low was left. Even
Brooklyn gave McClellan a majority:
The gain this year gives Tammany an
immense power and assures a much
greater ylurality two years from now if
the power is used with reason. Leaving
all partisan ideas aside chances are that
New York will have a better admiuistra
tion than ever before and so help roll up
a large democratic majority for presi
dent.
Senator Marcus A. Hanna sweeps the
state, and the legislature of Ohio, which
will elect him United States senator, Inis
a Republican majority of 100 on joint
ballot. Myrod T. Hericks (Republican)
is elected governor over Tom L. John
son (Democrat), the vote being 500,000 to
400,000. By this yote Ohio shatters the
aspiration of Mr. Johnson, practically
retiring him from politics and intensities
the dissensions of the Democratic fac
tions. It also blights the prospects of
John M. Clark, Johnson’s candidate for
the Senate against Hanna, as it places
him in the position of having iu a meas
ure, repudiated his honest money princ
iples to receive favors at the hands of
the Bryan wing of the Democratic party.
The vote for governor iu 1901 was; Nash
(Republican) 436,092: Kilbourne (Demo
crat), 368,525.
Albert B. Cummins (Rep.) re elected
governor over Jeremiah B. Sullivan in
lowa by 70,000 plurality, The campaign
was one of the dullest ever known in this
state, no issues of great importance hav
ing been before the people. Asa result
the vote is unusually light. The legis
lature is again overwhelmingly Republi
can, though early returns indicate that
the Democrats have gained seven mem
bers. The balloting had no bearing on
United States senatorships. In the elec
tion two years ago Cummins had 220,839
votes, and Phillips (Dem.) 143,655.
Incomplete returns in Nebraska indi
cate the election of the Republican ticket
by decreased pluralities. John ,T. Sulli
van, fusion candidate for associate fus
tice of the Supreme Court, is making
unexpected gains, but it is not thought
his lead is sufficient to elect. There
seems no doubt that the Republican uni
versity regents are elected. Governor
Mickey (Rep.) was elected last year by
96,471 votes to 91,110 cast for Thompson
(fusion).
Senator Arthur Pue Gorman secur _<s
a victory by the election of Edwin War
field (Dem.) as governor over Stevenson
A. Williams (Rep.) in Maryland. The
result emphasizes Gorman s domination
in the state and strengthens his position
as a candidate for the presidency, The
legislature, which is Democratic by a
small plurality, will elect a Democratic
successor to Senator McComas (Hep.),
who was opposed at the polls by the fac
tion controlled by the three-Republican
congressmen. The last vote of the state
for governor (in 1899) resulted; Smith
(Dem.), 128,400; Lowudee(Rep.) 116,280.
John C. W. Beckham (Dem.) is elect
ed governor over Morris B: Belknap
(Rep.) by 15,000 in Kentucky. National
issues were avoided in the campaign, and
the result is taken to mean tha. the Dem
ocrats are again making sure of their
position in the state and that in the
presidential year it will be found in the
democratic column. In 1899 (the last
gubernatorial election) the vote was:
Taylor (Rep.), 103,713; Goebel (Dem.),
191,831.
Lucius F. C. Garvin (Dem ) is re-elect
ed governor over Samuel Pomroy Colt
(Rep.) by 5000 plurality, while the H

officers and retain control of the legis

lature in Rhode Island. By winning
the legislature this year the Republicans
hope to gain a firmer hold for next year,
when Senator Aldrich comes up for re
election, and for this reason they fought
a very energetic campaign. Last year
the vote resulted: Garvin 82,260. Kim
bal (Rep.) 24,541.
Both parties claim to have carried
Colorado, and all agree that the race be
tween Judge Campell (Rep.) and Adair
Wilson (Dem.) for Supreme Court jus
tice is very close. There was but one
office to be filled at the election, and as
that is judicial the result had little bear

election for governor last year the vote
was Peabody (Rep.) 85,512; Stimson

The Republicans carry the state of Mas

by 35,849. Tin legislature is largely
Republican. Last year the vote for
governor stood; Bates, 196,276; Gaston,
159,156.
New Jersey Republicans continue to
control the legislature. Senator John

MAERTZ SUBMITTS REPORT
Report Shows a Decrease of Over One
Million Mortgages are not Assessed
The report which county supervisor
of assessment W. C. Maertz ha. handed
over to the committee of equalization
ami assessment shows that in 1903 the
total of taxable property for the county
amounts to 32,831,032 as compared with
33 964,805 in 1902 being a falling off of
1,123,873. This decrease is accounted
for by mortgages and money being not
taxed. In the city of Manitowoc there
is a slight increase iu real estate while
in 1902 the real estate was valued at
6,298,745 this year it is valued at 6,372,-
881 by Mr. Maertz being an iucrease of
of 74,086, but the decrease in personal
property is so large as to more than
make up for the slight increase iu reali
ty. Thus in 1902 Mr. Maertz had 2,-
188,098 ou the rolls while this year there
is only 1,669.107 being a decrease of
468,811 and so making a total decrease
for the city of 894,725. The only ex
planation is that the Manitowoc people
have “blown in” all their money for
while over a half a million of money
was assessed last year 6,416 is all that is
left this year. Another fact may be
drawn from this that the taxes are not
at all likely to be any losver than hist
year but will tend upward.

COUNTY LOSES TAX CASES
Railway Companies Cannot Be Taxed For
Local Improvements
In a decision which has just been
handed down by Judge Kirwiu in Cir
cuit court it is held that railway com
panies cannot be taxed for local im
provements, seweres in the city, and
other work from which the community
benefits. The opinion is given in the
case wherein the Chicago & North-Wes
tern Railway Company contested the
attempt of the city to force
a special assessment for city improve
ments against property which is owned
and occupied by the Company. The
refusal of the Company to pay the as
sessment from the year 1896 to 1902 in
clusive, resulted in the tax being report
ed to the county treasurer with the city’s
delinquent tax and the property being
advertised for sale. An injunction whs
secured by the Company to restrain the
sale and the case was argued in the
Circuit court with the result above
mentioned. About S3OOO was involved
and the city is able to collect only about
$35, this being the charges for shoveling
of snow from the property by the city
employes which the court holds is a
legal charge.
The last legislature, however, adop
ted a measure which makes the tax
valid in the future aud it can be as
sessed and collected. The law is in
Chapter 426 and provides that railway
property can be taxed for local im
provements the same as the pnqierty of
of the individual owner.
Although the decision rendered in
this case of the Chicago & North-wes
tern Cos. only, it will apply in the case
of the Wisconsin Central Cos. also aud
the city loses the special tax assessed
against both roads in the years 1896-
1902.

Town of Manitowoc Decides so at Special
Election
With a vote of 33 to .17 the citizens of
town Manitowoc refused to appropriate
an additonal $300.00 to complete the lake

probable.

MANITOWOC, WIS. NOVEMBER 5,1903.
WASHINGTON LETTER
(FROM OPR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT)
Washington. D. 0., Nov. 3, 1903.
Mr. Bristow’s report ou the postal
scandals has been to the President, hut
there is no danger of its being given to
the public, just at present, while there
is an election about to take place in
eleven states of the Union. It is said
that the President is going over the re
port carefully aud that before making
it public he will supplement it with
some comments of his own. As it con
tains over a million words, which would
make 2,000 pages of an ordinary govern
ment document document, •it will pro
bably take Mr. Roosevelt some time to
finish it. Postmaster General Payne is
now preparing his letter of transmittal,
to accompany the report. There seems
good authority for the statement that
Mr. Bristow makes grave accusations
against Perry S. Heath,the former First
Assistant Postmaster General and pre
sent secretary of the repnblican nation
al committee of which Mark Hanna is
chairman. The Tulloch charges ac
cused Heath of juggling payrolls, giv
iug sinecures to women and political
friends, aud sending politicians around
the country at government expense os
tensibly ou official business; but it is
said that Mr. Bristow charges him with
official corruption similar to that for
which Beavers and Machen are now in
dicted. However, like Congressman
Littauer in the glove contracts, ho will
probably be saved by the statute of
limitations. It looks as if the repnbli
cans will hardly dare retain him as sec
retary of the national committee; but
perhaps he hopes for something ~equal
ly as good”. The irregularities dis
covered iu the New York Post < *flice are
of such a grave character that the Presi
dent has directed Mr. Bristows iuspei
tors to subject it to a rigid investigation.
They will leave for New York in a few
days and will have a month or six
weeks to complete their work. The
head of the New York office is Post
master Van Cott, a close personal
friend of Senator Platt who has done
all he can to defend him and who will
fight any attempt to remove him. Al
though no direct charges have as yet
been made against Van Cott, his
removal has been so frequently dis
cussed as to alarm Senator Platt and
bis other friends.
The Maryland campaign is the chief
topic among politicians here. Senator
Gorman has taken the stump and is
leading the democrats in an attack on
the administration, which is causing
the republicans the gravest alarm. He
again scores the President for his inter
ference in the state campaign and for
his championing the colored race by
dining Booker Washington. He said
in his last speech, ‘'Unfortunately the
President of the United States and 1
speak of him as the President ought al
ways to be spoken of, with rrspect,- goes
from one end of ihe country to the other
intensifying the race issue. He well
knows that all thoughtful men of the
South without exception, unless it lie
politicians who want the votes of the
negroes, and every thoughtful man of
the North, has reached the con
clusion that no greater crime was ever
committed against good government,
no greater crime has ever been perpe
trated against the women of the South,
than the emancipation ofmgros by con
Btitutional amendment. The President
of the United States with an impulsive
ness and thoughtlessness which
would hardly l>e excused in a small buy
in this community, has a faculty of ex
pressing himself which has become
dangerous to the jieace of the communi
ty. He has interfered in our state and
has tried to stimulate the republicans
by inviting them to a harmony meeting
and to sit around the same table at
which Booker Washington sat. "He
declared further that by his imprudence
in interfering with matters which did
not properly belong to his office the
President had unsettled business in
terests, Isidor Hayner. the democratic
candidate for ihe United States Senate
spoke along the same lines declaring
himself for the disfranchisement of the
negro as a matter of self preservation.
Senator Gorman now stands out as the
leader of the opposition to the President
on his attitude on the race question
and this will probably be made the is
sue of the coming presidential cam
paign; unless the republicans refuse to
nominate Mr. Risisevelt who stands for
equal opportunity fur blin k and white.
According to the official figures our
merchant marine has now reached the
highest point in the history of the coun
try, and thin remarkable growth was
regardless of the fact that there was no
ship subsidy act passed. The total
tonnage amounts to ft,0H7,H45 tons,
which plat es us second to Great Britain
in the merchant marines. As her ton
nage exceeds 16,000 000 it will be some
time before we can hope to occupy first
place. The growth of onr marine
began in 11*00, when the five million
mark was passed for the first time in
many years. Since then the progress
has been so rapid that the advocates of
ship subsidy will bo at a loss for argu
ments when the measure is brought up
at the regular session of Congress.
Gigantic land frauds on the Pacfiic
Coast have been under secret investiga
tion by the Interior Department for
some time. Such startling rumors have
escap'd that Secretary Hitchcock has
promised to make a comprehensive
statement in the course of the next few
days. The first public development
was the suspension from office of Asa
B. Thompson, receiver of the United
States Land Office at La Grand. Oregon.
Thomson has boon indicted for re
ceiving bribes. It is sa'd that the De
partment’s investigation will involve
United States Senator Mitchell and
Representative Williamson, both repub
licans from Oregon, who recommended
Thomson's appointment. It is known
that Secretary Hitchcock's feeling
toward these men has been very bitter
since the investigation started. Many
government officials and members of
Congress are believed to be implicated in
these land frauds and startling revela
tions are daily expected.
According to the animal report of
Commissioner General Frank Sargent
of the Bureau of Immigration there has
been a large increase in immigration
to this country during the last fiscal
year, when 857,046 foreigners crosssd
our borders. The greatest number,
over 230,000 came from Italy, while
Austria Hungary furnished 0ver206,000.
From the Oriental countries came near
ly 20,000 Japanese and over 2,000
Chinese. 185,667 of the immigrants
could neither read nor write. The
total amount of money brought
with them amounted to $16,117,513.
8,769 alien immigrants were rejected,
because they were paupers, diseased oi
contract laborers. Cjuutiug second
aud first cabin immigrants who arrived
iu this country last year, makes the
number very near the million mark.

At the meeting of the council Monday
night all were present with the excep

hack at his desk again all wreathed in
smiles and aldermanic tobacco smoke.
The matter of reducing the taxes on the
Allen property came np for discussion
and after some wrangling a resolution
was adopted recommending to the asses
sors that tiie value of some of the lots
be reduced the council not having
authority to reduce theiwsessment. The
lake is washing this property away and
in its present condition it has very little
value, at the same time some of the lots
are assessed at $350 when they would not
bring s2ft a piece. Mr. Allen desires to
improve this property hut SBO,OOO being
necessary to do so. he desires some safe
guard before entering on the extensive
expenditure.
The Alliert Landreth (Jo. presented a
petition to be allowed the use of a few
feet of Franklin street to enlarge the

to place the machinery of the East Wis

ing a pro|s>sition from another firm to
put a factory into the East Wisconsin

ed beyond a doubt as the few feet of
land will do no harm while an addi
