POLITICAL 3IOLE1IILL Mnirnified to n Mountain of Fraud CrniTflililnsr Hamilton Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLES VILLE. Ind.. Nov. 1G. The charges made by the Democrats that there are frauds in connection with the official count In Hamiltrn county and that several tally sheets arc mis?ing, thus reflecting seriously on the Republican party here, are false and malicious. An effort has been made by the . Democrats here to make a political mountain out of a mole hill. The whole trouble arose over a bet made by R. M. Isherwood. editor of the Democrat, with County Clerk Horace Carey that Landis's plurality in this county would not be l,7t.. The official returns showed that the plurality of Landls was l.Tul. This was so uncomfortably close that Isherwood and those Democrats interested with him immediately set up a cry of fraud. It was a clear case of the "baby act" to save the J-VO staked on the 1.700 plurality. After considerable "bluMlng" and bluster the bot was "pulled down," and there the matter rested until an alleged "special investigation" was made. The resulting charges. Clerk Carey says, are malicious lies. Among other things, it Is charged that several tally sheets were missing, and that the official count did rot tally with the memoranda kept by inspectors and clerks in the Roxley precinct. Mr. Carey says this Is false, and maliciously false. Tb "Invtstlgator" had access to all the tally sheets, which were and are correct, with the exception hereinafter noted. Mr. Carey says slight mistakes often occur at election, occasioned by errr In calling off th vote from the tally sheets by members of the canvassing board, and for which, the tabulating clerk Is not responsible. Such an error Is found, he says, in one of the Sheridan precincts, resulting in a gain of two votes for Captain Allen. Mr. LandU's opponent. Estimates were made by the Journal correspondent and other cn the vote for mem

ber of Congress as tho precinct reported

oeroro tne omciai count was maae, anu the figures were so near 1.TJ0 that all agreed that it would require the official count to settle the let. The settlement of that bet then became the "paramount Issue." Had not this bet been made, there would not have been a word of complaint about the oflicial count. An Index of the Result.

RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 1C It has long bten known that Whitewater precinct, Franklin township, Wayne county, is the banner Republican precinct of the United States, but it was not known until lately with what mathematical exactness the State's vote could be calculated from the returns of that precinct.

Startling Personal Stories About the Rival Presidential Candidates. Pittsburg News. New and startling facts in the lives of the successful and the unsuccessful candidates In yesterday's election which seem to have escaped the compilers of the standard biographies are furnished their readers by some of the continental and English newspapers. For weeks past the foreign papers have been full of speculations on the result of our election and anecdotes about the candidates. Mr. McKinley, according to the London Mail, is a veritable Hercules, with bulging muscles and gigantic frame. On one occasion, while he was delivering a stump speech in an uncivilized part of the country, an attempt was made by a gang of rowdies to break up the meeting. Leaving the platform, Mr. McKinley seized two of the ringleaders, one In each hand, and knocked their heads together until their teeth rattled. A third rowdy, who attempted to escape, was also tackled by Mr. McKinley who, says the Mail, "deposited him in an armchair and sat down upon him, and then calmly resumed his remarks." A French paper, referring to the late Democratic candidate, says "M. le Colonel Bryan" first came Into fame as one of the strange, half savage band of cowboys, who roamed over the far West, fighting the Indians and wild beasts. After the treaty of peace was signed with the Indians at Chicago in H'jS Colonel Bryan went out of the cattle business and became one of the bonanza farmers of the West. He is the author of a book of adventure called the "First Battle," describing some of his adventures with the Indiana of the Tammany and other tribes. The same paper describes how "M. le Colonel Roosevelt" once vanquished a grizzly bear in single combat. In laughing at our foreign friends for the mistakes they make while writing about American life, it is well to remember how meager are their sources of information. In translating American newspapers for the benefit of their readers foreign editors are apt to take Jokes for sobr statements of fact. While English editors are not thus handicapped by ignorance of the language, they are notoriously deficient in the sen.e of humor, which may account for some of the remarkable statements regarding matters American appearing In their columns.

IN A PERILOUS POSITION RKMAHKAIILi: llSCAI'H OF CHICAÜOAX FKO.M M VSOMC TUM PLC Spent n Mcht on the (iattrrs of th Hoof, UZT Feet Above (iround Ilearued In Frosen Condition. CHICAGO. Nov. 16.Tenants of one of the ?tore buildings opposite the Statestreet front of the Masonic Temple, looking upward to-day, noticed a man's arm projecting from the gutter along the lino of the eighteenth floor. This arm was frantically waving a piece of lath, to which was attached a slip of paper. Chief of Detectives Henry Glazier, General Manager Edward Williams, of the Temple, were at once notified. They ascended to the roof and looked down upon a man who, frozen. Injured, terror-stricken, was as close to another world as he could well be. Detective Glarier, at the risk of his own life, descended the gable, attached a rop to the man and brought him up to safety. The man is A. F. McKenzie, of No. Cloud avenue. He had spent Thursday night In the gutters of the roof of the Temple, four inches of coping between hlra and the stone pavement, 325 feet below. He had found this dangerous bed by climbing the Iron fence which surmounts the dome of the great building. Sol feet up. then walking out the crest of one of tho gables of the State-street side and falling off at the end. Fortunately for himself, when he fell he slid down the gutterway of the gable and did not plunge Into the street. When McKenzie was taken to a safe position and the house physician called he was found to be frostbitten, his right foot was gashed and it was frozen so seriously that amputation, may be necessary. McKenzie was cqnscious and said he had gone to the roof to get a good view of the city. McKenzie said: "When I got out on the gable I got dizzy and tumbled and rolled down something. 1 did not know where 1 was going. Then I stopped suddenly and I don't remember anything more until about 10 o'clock this morning. Then I became conscious. I gave one look down into State street, then 1 became sick. Near me In the gutter I saw a piece of lath. I got hold of that, put some paper on it and signaled for help. I did not think I would get help. I thought I would roll off and die sure." HE DIDN'T LIKE IT. Eastern 3Inn Comments on Woman SnfTrnice In Colorado. New York Evening Sun. "Woman's suffrage was the feature of the campaign In Colorado," said a man who spent considerable time in that State prior to the election. "You had It there in all its glory or lack of glory, according to your point of view. Those who believe In a woman making herself conspicuous and In casting her political lot with men to the very letter would have applauded the exhibition, I suppose. Nobody who admires gentleness, refinement, modesty and the other traits long held to be the chief charm of womanhood could have ap proved It. Colorado's woman politicians of both parties are upon precisely tha same plane as the men. The women republicans and the women Democrats alike had their headquarters at a prominent hotel, where their leaders were always on view. Women crowded the hotel corridors, talking it over sometimes with each other, more often with men. They had a hand In all the political meetings; they presided and they made speeches and they stumped the State Just as the men were doing. To an Easterner, unused to such things, the situation was nothing hort of startling. It is nothing against a woman, ef course, to be middle-aged, stout and short-skirted and gray-haired, but when fche makes these things conspicuous and Is loud-voiced and bad-mannered and unwomanly besides, they must all reflect upon her, personally as well as upon the causa she represents. It may be that, as an Easterner, I am not educated up to the woman politicians of Colorado, but I must confess that I have no desire to be. I didn't see what to my mind was a gracious, quiet, well-bred woman in the lot. They were all seekers after notoriety of one sort or another typical clubwomen such as gather together for the purpose of paying those compliments to each other that men have ceased to pay to them. Not one was the sort you could ever imagine at the head of a good home nd If a man can denounce a woman more strongly than that I am not aware of It. If this is what voting has done for the women of Colorado, then let there be no further voting of women, say I." The effect of women upon Colorado' politics has been no letter than the effect of politics upon Colorado women," continued the man. "I don't say that politics is above reproach in all other States, and neither do I say that women are wholly responsible for the political corruption In Colorado. Itut when the State In which women have fullest political ewing is so notoriously corrupt, it Is Imposible not to draw .certain Inferences. The kind of women that have been doing the voting for both parties since woman's suffrage wa established in 14 strengthens this Inference. After the first novelty wore off very few of the best women in Denver 'best in every sense, social, intellectual and moral went near the polls. In quantity as well as qaulity the woman's vote has steadily decreased. This year more women voted than have done so since that first year lSi but that was due to general reasons rather than to particular ones. It's a mere question of time, to my mind, until the Colorado laws granting suffrage to women are repealed. Public opinion is against it, and from what I saw of it while I was In Denver public opinion is in the right." Tempernnce Cnnteenn Proposed. NEW YORK. Nov. 1C The International committe of the Y. M. C. A. sat down to Its annual dinner to-night at the Hotel Savoy. Some two hundred representative men from various walks of life were there t hear addresses and reports on the worldwide interests of the organization. Tha work in the army and navy was the subject of W. II. Miller s talk, and he stated that the association work lately started on Governor's Island was only the beginning of what ought to be Introduced at every one of the hundreds of army posts In the country. "We ought." he went on to say, " to establish a temperance canteen. If we take away the ber from our soldiers we must give them something better in its place." Ample Apology Made. ' Brooklyn Eagle. The Cornell Sun thus gracefully apologizes for an editorial oversight: "In yeaterday'a ltsue we neglected to commend the yelling at Saturday's game.
