A COMPARISON —CONTINUED Yesterday we published a table of the disbursements in the governor's office In 1907 as compared with the expenditures in that office during 1893. It showed a wonderful result, namely, that the money necessary to bring comfort to Governor Hanly was over $46,000 more than the cash necessary for Governor Mathews, a democratic governor. But as surprising as those figures and even more so is shown by a similar comparison in the state auditor’s office, officially given out as fellows: STATE AUDITORS OFFICE. Auditor of State, salary $ 7,500 Deputy Auditor 3.500

i the Democrats. Ft does sound queer, ' don’t it? Tammany and the gold men ' and the Bryan men snd all the rest ' of them are for the party and with , the turmoil in the Republican ranks 1 it looks like a runaway at this stage * of the race. 1 e— — I I Now comes a most deplorable coI incident in the life of the well known ' minister, Rev, W. E. McCarty. of Portland, known and at one time adI mired by hundreds of Adams county I people. The fact that his bride of 1 but a few fleeting months has filed 1 a divorce complaint wherein sensational charges questioning the repute * cf the aged minister, are inserted, will Ir all probably, greatly incapacitate him as a spellbinder in behalf of Uncle Nate and in connection thereto, annul the effect if there has been any. to the letters he has written in behalf of tihe candidate. 1 Walter Wellman says ’ Hughes nomination for governor of New York: It may easily be imagined I that the leaders who fought Hughes 1 almost to the last ditch and yielded 1 only because the country, the state, ' the president and the candidate for ( president were against them, are any- ■ thing but happy in their surrender. ' In the convention hall today they sat silent and sullen. They could be ' forced to vote for Hughes, the man ( who has snubbed and ostracized them, but they could not be compelled to I cheer for him. Leader after leader i voted his delegation for Hughes in a i voice which sounded more like a groan than an approval. Rarely, if ever, in the history of American politics have I the active men of a party found it i necessary to swallow as bitter a dose as the New York Republicans gulped down today. Rarely, if ever, has a party carried a fairly close state when its active workers were as sore and disheartened as are the organization men hee at the close of this well-nigh unprecedented contest.
