the headquarters for lr. Alyord, also filed
perfectly quiet. His advice is frequently sought by
members as they arrive. Mr. Alvord's rooms directly
opposite Hustcd's, were also occupied by many
leading republican politicians from various parts of
the state The old man was as reticent on the issues
of the canvass as Hustled and Sloan. He, however
expressed himself as certain of success. The iact
that Hustled and Sloan went out riding together gave
the knowing ones food for thought, and they con-
cmded, from this fact, that truce had been de-
clared and that Avord was, undoubtedly the coming
man. Decisive results can only be accomplished
to-day when the remainder OF the ninety-seyen re-
publican Assemblymen put in an appearance.

thoroughly WE'LL and the medical officer admitted that
they were so with the exception of their liability TO

that two young women in good health us they were
should be kopt year after year among some of the
most distressing OF insanity simply because
they were subject to occasional hts. 1t was urged,
on the other hand. that one OF the two women was,
according to the medical officer, not only eplcptic
but dangerous to herself and that consequently 1t
