During the campaign the Russells,
who are staunch Republicans, interested
themselves deeply in the election of Mr.
McKinley, although no coercive meas
ures were used upon the men save one,
and that only by highly significant inti
mation. O i Monday the price lists of
the piece workmen were taken up, the
Democrats in the shops saying that dis
crimination was made between them
selves -and the Republicans, whose
card were not bothered. These
price lists are slips on which are
scheduled the prices to b? paid for piece
work. Yesterday i large number of
Democrats received their cards with the
prices revised, a cut of 33 per cent be
ing ma te on every article. Other work
men who were paid by the hour, were
alsa no titled of this enormous reduction.
Oae of these, Edward JShehan, a machin
ist, at oneo tendered h's resignation,
and it was promptly accepted. He was
notified of the cut by foreman Garrigues,
who at tho time told him that it was not
on account of his conduct or his work
manship, assuring him that his work
had been fully up to the standard, lie
gave the order because he had been in
structed to do so by C. II. Russell. Mr.
Sheehan demanded to know if it
was done because he was a Demo
crat, but received no answer what
ever. Three or four others who
received the revised cards also left the
shops for tho day. This intelligence
was quickly disseminated throughout
the city. Upon hearing it Lieut. Gover

cratic successor to Congressman McKin

found it to be only too true. lie imme

Shortly after 1 o'clock Mr. C. II. Russell
was accosted by Otto E. Yoaug, the
Democratic candidate for probate judge,
and a leading lawyer of Massilon.
Mr. Young asked the manufacturer if
it was tiuo that the reduction had been
made, and received the hearty response:
"Hereafter in our shops free traders
will receivo free traders' wages."
Later when asked about the reduction
by a reporter, Mr. Russell replied:
"I will have to refer you to those
workmen, sir."
Is tho allegation true?"
"I have nothing to say. See tho men,"
was tho reply, as the manufacturer
strode hastily across the street.
Later in the evening Mr. Warwick re

him, beyond all doubt, that the reduc

because of the fact that when the plant

It is likely that an indignation meet

Rumor is False That Aery and
Reid Were Defeated.
Special to State Ciironicle.1
It nas bjen reported in Raleigh for a
day or two that I. T. Avery, Esq., of
Burke, and Dr. J. T. Reid, of McDowell,
Democratic candidates for the Senate in
tho Thirty-sixth district were defeated.
The Chronicle could not believe it and
sent a message to get the straight of it.
The following is the assuring and gratify
ing news:
"Mokoanton, N. C, Nov. 10. Dr.
Reid and I are elected by at least 400
majority. Mitchell county gave only
5s0 majority against me. I. T."

Columbus, O., Nov. 10. Governor
Campbell is so seriously ill that visitors
lmvfl been fordidden. He is threatened
with tvnhoid pneumonia, and it is doubt
ful if he will be sufficiently recovered to
attend the Thurman banquet Thursday
evening.
Mr. Blaine then proceeded to dissect
tho bill in a merciless manner, and when
informed of the sugar bounty clause,
which had been added, said:
"It isn't true."
B ing assured that Senators Morrill
and Edmunds had secured sueh an
amenlmeut, Mr. Blaine said:
"It is a good sample of the breadth of
their statesmanship."
The Hat Goes.
"And then," says Senator Blackburn,
"the climax cams. The Secretary's new
beaver was in easy reach. With a sud
den blow he brought his clinched hand
down on it with such forco as to smash
it Hatter than a pancake, and then, seiz
intr the battered chapeau. he hurled it
against the wall violently. I never saw
such an ebullition, but it only empha
sized the deep earnestness of the Secre
tary," Blackb irn's interview is confirmed by
frieuds of Senators Allison and Hale,
who told in confidence the episode at the
time it happened. It has caused a great
sensation, and it is said Mr. Blaine's
greatest regret is that he allowed Presi
dent Harrison to coax him into taking
the stump for McKinley and Quay.
The Smallest Act ret.
Tbe administration has pulled itself
together, and to-day Mrs. Maria Wat
kins, a soldier's widow, who is employed
at one of the delivery windows of the
city postoffice, was made to feel the
power of Harrison, Wanamaker and
Qiiay's vengeance. Dick Quay, son of
his dignified and quiet father, called at
the post-office for his parents mail. Mrs.
Watkins turned to some of the clerks to
inquire as to its whereabouts, and one
of the more mischievous, a Democrat
who had been reading the Pennsylvania
election returns, said:
"The senator's mail noy g-es to the
dead letter office."
Taking the remark in earnest, Mrs.
Watkins imparted the information to
young Dick. Tho latter rushed off to
Po3tmaster-(ieneral wanamaker s oince,
and in a short time Postmaster Sherwood
received an order from Pious John to
suspend the woman, and it was prompt
ly complied witn. The woman was per
fectly innocent ot any desire to oner in
sult, and Superintendent of Delivery
Bell, who made the remark, came man
fully to the front and exonerated her,
but Wanamaker's order went into effect,
and the widow of a union veteran was
summarily suspended. This is regarded
as about the smallest trick of this smalH
and hypocritical administration.
Sherman's Bitterness.
In an interview to-day Senator Sher
man has this to say of the Democrats of
Holmes county who stood like a stone
wall against McKinley 's boodle assaults:
"Well, they were rebels during the
war, and they have not yet recovered
from the prejudices then aroused."
It will bo seen that the Ohio Senator
still refuses to come into the union, and
it is not improbable that the Ohio peo
ple will resent this next year by select
ing a Democrat to succeed "Honest
John."

Later returns confirm the statement
given in the Chronicle cf Sunday, of
the result of the election. The Demo
crats wiU have a majority of 136 over all
opposition in the House of Representa
tives. John F. Willetts, the Alliance candi
date for Governor, says: "We have elec
ted 93 members of the Legislature, and
will name the next Senator of the
United Slates from Kansas. Ingalls will
not get a man of them. He is beaten. The
fight has bjen made especially upon him
and it has been successful."
The Republican Central committee
concedes the defeat to Ingalls.
In New Hampshire the Republicans
have decided to attempt to seat the
memb-.ra of the legislature elected from
to wns and wards which show gains in
population which entitle them to extra
representation under the new appoint
ment. Ibis would give the Republi
cans a majority of two on joint ballot.
Without these members the Democrats
have a majority of twelve on the
basis of the recent apportionment, and
they would elect the Governor, State
officers and the United States Senator to
succeed Mr. Blair. The plan is to have
tho additional members participate in
the organization and vote upon their own
qualifications at the meeting of the
legislature in January It is claimed the
legislature of South Dakota is a tie. The
Democrats and Farmers' Alliance mem
bers combined control the legislatures
of Illinois, Minnesota and Kanses. The
democrats have a eh ar majority in the
Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin Legis
latures. Mr. Melvnley says protection
is stronger than e-.er, aud that the new
tariff bid was shamefully misrepresented
by the importers, many of whom are not
citizens of the United Slates and are
five tiaders. It will win in the end.

The Immense Difficulty ol Making an
Euuineration in that Domain.
I By United Press. 1
Washington, Nov. 10. Iven Petroff,
special census agent for Alaska, sends
an interesting report of his labors to
Census Superintendent Porter. He gives
no figures of the population, but con-
fiues himself to a recital of the difficul
ties in the way of taking the census in
that far off country. At times he re
mained on the beach over night, the
Arctic ocean lashing the shore, without
fire or shelter; at other times journeying
hundreds of miles where there were no
signs of population, and still at other
times in open boats on the sea, with oar
propulsion, to traveling three hundred
mile3 between distant islands. Despite
all these difficulties Mr. Petroff says the
enumerators he employed at various"
places bid fair to make a reasonably ac
curate census of the inhabitants.
