Lodge Re-elected Senator From Massachusetts After Hard Fight.

Henry Cabot Lodge won the hardest political fight he has ever had when he was elected to the United States senate by the Massachusetts legislature Wednesday. He received 146 votes out of the 279 in the legislature. This was 6 more than were necessary for choice. He received two democratic votes, while a third democrat refused to vote at all, owing to his long friendship for Lodge. Lojige was assailed for two years by both democrats and republican insurgents. Allen dray, now of Fort Dodge, lowa, lies at the point of death in a hospital in that city. He is a brother of Sylvester Gray, of this city, who was notified by telegram of his brother’s condition. Owing to his own sickness Mr. Oray is unable to go there, but Marshal George Mustard will leave for there at 6 o'clock this evening. It death results to Jlilr. Gray the body will be brought to Goodland for burial. Ilia lectures are eloquent, humorous, pathetic and powerful. I commend him as a man of strong character and great power.—Dr. G. M. Savage, President 8. W. B. University, Jackson, Tenn. At M. E. church tonight.
