The Winchester Republican, in speaking OF
these works, says, IL understands that although
$4,000 was appropriated for the completion
OF them il will take $4,000. THIS is "A mistake.
The expense will not exceed the original sll,
males more thRn four or five thousand dollaIg.
In fact the works themselves will be completed
at an expense within sac, 600 but the purchase
of the ground for the reservoir, canal water pr.

Winchester itself, it seems from the Repub.
can, IS engaged IN constructing water works
under the superintendence of Mr. john
son from PhiIade phia. The whole length
OF the pipes, there, is three quarters of
mile, which we're all laid in ten DAYS.
The expense of these works are estimated
at from ten to twelve thousand dollars. The
spring from which the water is obtained rises sl
a point much higher than that al which the
main pipe terminates.

Kleek was { ON 1924 until now, yet If he is
proved 10 have done any act which is not in
keeping with the whole course Of the Jackson
pa,ty, he must MAKE way for one who has been
more subscrvient 10 the views OF the Jackson
leaders. We Judge from the remarks Of the

lnre the Fan BureniteS have lriumphed,"
and The offence Of Mr.. Van kIeek is thus ST,
ior,h by the Editor:
"we are inclined to believe there is one explanation
10 this mysterious evc7t. A'hough Mr.. Van Kleek
was known and acknowledged TO be sound Jackson
man, it was also known thar he voted for Judge
Thompson last FALL from personal friendship and
spect while he voted all the of the Jackson ticket
This great political SIM of voting against the legitimate
candidate, Mr. Van Buren,, appeared rather too much
like freedom Of opinion to suit the refined notions OF
the Grand Council Of this Town, and therefore he
turned out because thew thought that perhaps his zeal
for the cause of "e Party" might not always be suf
fcent to keep pace with the rapid motion of thu. great
machine"
