In a April 5, 1899, report, Republicans claim seven of eleven city offices despite Democratic tactics. The piece notes an expected Democratic victory, but results showed narrow alderman margins and a mayoral loss by a small margin. It warns Democrats to respect reformist sentiment and vows to purge bribery and intimidation from local politics.
The Anaconda Standard and Butte Miner clash over Mayor-elect McCarthy’s stance on the late campaign platform. Both papers claim he either supported or repudiated the platform and face questions about his loyalty to the Clark opposition in the U S Senate. The Inter Mountain invites McCarthy to publish a public statement clarifying his position.
In a strong statement, local leaders condemn bribery and illegal voting, praising Republicans and law‑abiding citizens for Tuesday’s decisive political cleansing. The effort marks a turning point toward honesty, respectability, and cleaner city governance, with Monday’s outcome seen as a decisive victory.
The public expects Mayor elect McCarthy of Butte to state his attitude on the senator elect Clark controversy. His position could influence the senate contest and clarify whether he supports the anti Clark platform and its censure proposals during his mayoral term. Silence would imply sympathy with the platform and its aims.
The Chicago Democrat machine toppled ex Governor Altgeld, long a key free silver advocate, in favor of Harrison, a blow to the western free coinage wing. Denver voters, meanwhile, elected Sawyer as mayor, while capitalists urge adherence to law in city leadership.
The piece outlines a Tokio bank with 5 million capital and 5.22 million reserve, directed by Baron H Mitsui and ten Mitsui sons who own all stock and assume unlimited responsibility. The narrative shifts to a Cuban act scene, and then to anecdotes about Mrs Cleveland and a jeweler incident with a turquoise diamond rivet worth £50, plus a feisty quip about keeping a wife in water.
A collage of notes covers a frank social quip about Frances Folsom Cleveland, a critique of French artists views on skyscrapers, a fortune-teller anecdote, Prince Hilkoff on the Trans-Siberian route in 33 days, a Kansas boy in Manila describing insurgent officers, and new mineral discoveries in British Columbia with a natural washing compound and a large natural ice-like block dice.
The New York Times notes Bessie Tyr in Americans at Home delivers worldly advice for winning a rival lover. Her scene involves teaching a young man to make another girl jealous by sending presents to the speaker.
An advocate of total abstinence lectured to a large audience praising water as the pure drink while warning against beer. He urged avoiding the demon of ale and presented a glass of water as the safe choice as two boys mockingly disrupted the demonstration.
A lecturer, tired and dry after a discourse, drank water in his private room while a bacillus narrator mocks him. The lecturer later replaces half the water with whisky from a pocket flask, a move that proves fatal to the bacilli and serves as a grim moral about overconfidence.
Frank Goff an engineer with the Pennnut railroad on the Am boy division arrived at Cooper hospital Camden New Jersey after a chemical mixture he prepared for wood preservation caused phosphorus burns to his face and hands.
