The
Nominations.
The splendid ticket nominated at the Democratic
State Convention held in Saratoga last week will commend itself to the people
of the State and will undoubtedly be elected by a safe majority.
Frederick
Cook, the nominee for Secretary of State is the present incumbent of that
office and his excellent administration of the office during the past two
years, warranted the convention in placing him again before the people for the
same office. Mr. Cook is a prominent citizen of Rochester, where he is highly
esteemed by all parties.
The
splendid record of Hon. Lawrence J. Fitzgerald, of Cortland, as State
Treasurer, is well known to all. The Syracuse Courier in speaking of his renomination for the same office says:
"Mr. Fitzgerald is too well known in Syracuse and Central New York to need
any encomiums. He has served the state as treasurer most acceptably for the
past two years, and it is universally conceded that he has made one of the ablest
and most satisfactory officials the state has ever had. He has attended personally
to the details of the administration of his office, and in many practical and
patent ways his administration has challenged and received the flattering
approval of big political opponents and the tax-payers of the state, independent
of party.
Mr.
Fitzgerald is a practical and able man of affairs and a public-spirited
citizen. He is deservedly popular at home and throughout the state, and no man
stands higher than he in the estimation f his fellow-citizens. Mr. Fitzgerald
was born at Skaneateles, N. Y., in 1814, and in early life he followed the trade
of a carriage-maker. In 1879 he organized the Cortland wagon works, which large
and prosperous establishment was raised to its present magnitude and business importance
mainly by his intelligent and enterprising effort. Mr. Fitzgerald, until he was
elected state treasurer two years ago, had never held public office, with the
exception of president of the village of Cortland. He holds various positions
of responsibility and trust in business affairs at Cortland and is a most
genial and intelligent gentleman. It may be safely said that Mr. Fitzgerald
will be elected treasurer by a most emphatic majority."
Edward Wemple, the candidate for comptroller, is one of the most prominent
and respected citizens of the northern portion of the state. Two years ago he
was elected State Senator over a strong candidate and has discharged his duties
with such strict regard to the interests of the State, that his nomination for
this important office was conceded by all.
Charles
S. Fabor, the candidate for Attorney General, is one of the leading lawyers of
Buffalo. For some years past he has been the very able and efficient Deputy,
and has won golden opinions for the excellent manner in which his duties have
been discharged. His promotion was to be expected.
John
Bogart, the candidate for State Engineer and Surveyor, is 65 years of age and
holds the responsible office of Secretary of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
He has had many years of successful experience and is the right man for the
place.
The
ticket is a strong one in all its parts and can and undoubtedly will be
elected. Let every Democrat do his utmost to bring about
that success which the
principles of the party merit.

| James Belden |
(From
the New York World, Sept. 29.)
The Republican State Convention, which recently assembled at Saratoga,
told the people in its platform that "the Republican party, by all
honorable means, seeks restoration to power in the State and in the nation
because of … the purity and efficiency of its methods and the lasting benefits
conferred upon the people."
One
of the first acts of the party to prove the sincerity of its words is the
nomination of James J. Belden for Congress in the Twenty-fifth Congressional District
of the State, to take the place made vacant by the election of Frank Hiscock to
the United States Senate.
Mr.
Hiscock has a clean record. His integrity has never been questioned during his
ten years of Congressional service. Mr. James Belden, his proposed successor,
is known only for his large wealth and his loose political methods. He was one
of the efficient and dangerous members of the corrupt Canal Ring which the late
Samuel J. Tilden drove from power in the State. His influence as a Republican
was used in the service of the Ring when his party was in power, while his
Democratic partner, “Doc” Dennis, ran the Democratic side of the house. Since
the Canal Ring was broken and scattered Mr. Belden has been prominent in
lobbying and wire- pulling for his party. His money bags turn the scales in the
Congressional nomination.
It is
said that ex-Speaker Erwin and "Lo" Sessions are to be nominated for
the Senate in their respective districts. This may well be believed when the
Republican party offers to our citizens the nomination of James J. Belden as an
evidence of "the purity and efficiency of its methods" and of the
"lasting benefits" they confer upon the people.

The Kate Bensberg Opera Company.
The
music loving citizens of Lima had a treat last night in the entertainment given
by the above company. There have been several noted singers in this city
heretofore, prima donnas, among them Emma Abbott, Minnie Hauk and companies of
equal celebrity, or nearly so, yet notwithstanding their known excellence, Miss
Bensberg and her company are the peers of any troupe, company or combination
that have ever, at any time, appeared in this city. The lady's voice is the
nearest approach to Patti's of any singer's the writer of this has ever heard,
and it is not said in any spirit of flattery to Miss Bensberg, or boasting as
to hearing noted singers. She sings with a grace and ease so peculiar to that
celebrated lady, that one is more forcibly reminded of the great prima donna's
beautiful notes. Miss Louise Engel, the contralto of the company, is equally as
good in every respect as the leading lady, and most ably supported her. Mr.
Ross David, the tenor, was as good if not the best ever appearing upon a Lima
stage, while Mr. Ed. Knight has an excellent basso.—Daily Republican, Lima,
Ohio.
Killed by the Cars.
It is
our painful duty to chronicle another of those terrible accidents which are of
such common occurrence, but that, in many instances, might be avoided, if
proper precaution and warning were taken by those who are made the unfortunate
victims of them.
The
accident happened last Monday morning, on the north bound train which reaches this
station at 6:12. It seems that a young student, about 19 years of age, by the
name of Eddie C. Hayes, of Marathon, was on his return to this place, where he
had been attending the Normal. Wishing to reach his boarding place at Mrs. Barnes',
on Blodgett street, by the nearest possible route, he jumped from the train,
which was running at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. The leap was made
from the coach next to the sleeper, as the train neared Blodgett street, a few
rods north of the E. C. & N. junction. He struck on his feet, and
then fell forward and in such a manner that the car wheels passed over his
right leg, cutting and lacerating it so badly that it had to be amputated just
above the knee. The left foot was also badly crushed.
The operation
was performed in the afternoon by Dr. Hyde, assisted by Drs. White, Green and Bennett.
He was placed under the influence of chloroform, but never recovered consciousness,
and died at about 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning. His remains were taken to
Marathon, where the funeral services were held yesterday afternoon. He was a
son of E. W. Hayes, of that village, and was highly respected.
He
was quite a favorite in the Normal, and a large number of students attended the
funeral. The 3d Latin class contributed a wreath of flowers with the word
"Vale" in the centre. Friends outside gave a star with the word
"Ed" in centre, a wreath and four dozen Niphetus and Marshal Neil roses.
The second Latin class attended in a body. The following were the pall bearers:
Gentlemen—Geo. Barnard, Mr. Bachman, Bert Sager, Fred. Sager, Dana Foley, and
Mr. Williams. Ladies—Louise Benjamin, Laura Husted, Lottie Van Hoesen, Jessie
Mitchell, Hattie Kinner, and Mamie Rogers.
Nearly Cut in Twain.
Last
Friday morning, while Henry E. Welland was assisting another workman at a circular
saw in the Hitchcock Mf'g. Company's shops, his clothing became entangled in the
saw and he was drawn on to the same and fearfully cut. His abdomen was terribly
gashed, his left arm nearly sawed in twain and his left leg badly cut. Drs.
White, Hughes and Nash, were called and his injuries were dressed. Welland's
wounds were doing well, but the shock to his system was too great and he died
at 8 o'clock, Wednesday evening. He was 52 years of age and leaves no family
except a son who lives in Dakota.
