toe rope was turned. The building was con-
sumed 10 ab ut 40 hour. The loss is estimated
at from $50 900 to $4,000. 1t Is thought
that the insurance is $4,000. Mr.. JORDAN

Somebody has said that somebody else has

We have time and again showa
that the present State administration
Was conducted solely in the interest
OF tile Radical party +; in fact, that it
Is nothing mole nor less than 1 piece
Of Radical party machinery. This
fact was very clearly illustrated We'd:
ncsttay in an interview between Col:
l. W. Patton, chairman Of the Demo.
cratic State Central Committee, and
Antoine. the Acting Governor Of tho
State. When Col. Patton presented
request, III Wiling, to AtfOlno on
behalf Of the Democrats and Conser.
vatives of the State, TINT they be al!
lowed q representation in tho clerk.
ships Of registration throughout tho
State, Antoine perused the document
carefully; and then replied: "Col:
Patton, | recognize tho Justice of Your
request, but before granting it l must
submit 1t to the Republican Campaicd
Committee"
Now, the clerks Of registration are
officials provided by law to be ap-
pointed by tue Governor, and the
Governor, presumably the Executive
Of the whole people, is expected id
such appointments to consult the
rights aud interests of tho wbotS
people. Dnt here We find Antoine
distinctly recognizing the justice Of
the claim Of large portion Of tho
people Of the State to bo represented
in these appointments, yet holding
that he cannot accord tlienii that rigiE
without the appreciation of = vlrulent
and exclusively partisan body.
What right has a campaign com:

ton, to coptrol tho Executive ia the
