THE "OLD GANG. 4"


A Delawarcan Who Resembles senate
Bayard Figuring In New York Loca
Politics.
The Eleventh ward promises to be the sea
of an amusing political contest at the com
ing election. The Old Gang, organized 4
1877, claims the ability to run the district
and as every candidate for Alderman an,
Assemblyman up to the time when Alder
| men began to be elected IN Senatorial dis
tricts belonged to the organization, new tina
aldermen are to be elected by assembly dis
tricts, 1t has determined to regain its former
position.
The candidate of the Old Gang is William
Wllberiorce Feeks, ship Joiner or jiner
| president of the Old Gang, and successor o
Axe Handle Smith. He is handsome man
of medium height, and his snow-w bite hail
and flowing beard are patriarchal. He is o.
Huguenot descent, and has also "a little
Irish In him" a fact of which he Is reason.
| ably proud, and which carries with It the
solid Irish vote of the jiners. His age is a
matter of controversy.
Mr.. Feeks was q candidate for Assembly.
but he had engaged in the making of steer.
ing wheels, which was resented as an in
trusion on another branch of mechanics.
He was accordingly denounced, and Ellis
Nethery, jiner, was named In his stead.
Nethery was born in Delaware, and rejoices
10 be known as blue hens chicken He Is
over six feet tall, and thin, and resembles
Senator Bayard, to whom he is related. He
Is staunch temperance man, while the Old
Gang can all take drink or let IL alone. -
1t was rumored that Mr.. Feeks whom the
young jiners call Uncle Bill, denounced
Nethery, and committee of liners waited
on MIN. Alter much persuasion Uncle Bill
and the Chicken were brought face to face,
and agreed to let bygones be bygones. Then
Mr.. Feeks was nominated for Alderman,
ana In a neat speech accepted the nomna-
ton. While he was talking a dispatch
arrived announcing that the Twenty-fourth
election district was solid for Uncle Bill and
the Chicken. The news was greeted with
VI bounded applause.
The boys are going to make this election
interesting, they say. Among the trans
parencies is one with blue hen on 1t, a
chicken under the blue hen, and "Ellis
Nethery, the Workingman's Friend" under
the blue chicken. "Stand by the Old Bell'

A New Stock Exchange.


There is again talk of new stock ex.
change, and this time the thing seems tc
have taken more form and shape than be-
lore, probably because the financial element
Is getting tired of the airs of the old board,
and because seats in the latter are worth
the surprising sum of S35, 900 to S37 900
This is heavy investment for young man
beginning business to make, very often
swallowing up all of his available capital
besides all that he is able to beg or borrow
from his friends. If the project of the min
ing exchange to sell railroad aud other Sc
curlties should be backed by come strong
men, disaffected TO the present system, like
could or Field, there is no reason why a
powerful rival to the New York stock ex.
change should not exist or thrive. It is
proposed to open an hour earlier and close
an hour later than the present board, charge
but l-l6 per cent. commission instead of x
and permit dealing In ten shares of stock
with margins of 500 for speculative pur-
chases or sales. The commission on ten
shares would therefore be but 62l5 cents
AT present 100 shares and 81 ,000 margin,
costing Sl2 90 for commission, is the smallest
Investment that can be made.

Gould Get Along without Them :


Mr.. Jay Gould is, it is said, planning an
extended tour around the world. He is, we
are told, examining designs for an Immense
yacht, or man-ofwar, which shall carry
him safely through the perils and dangers 81
the proposed expedition. Fast upon this
announcement comes the rumor that Mr.,
keene intends to deprive us of his delightful
company for two or three years. We have
not yet heard from Mr. Sage, Mr. Dillon,
Mr.. Mills and all the other bulls and bears
of high and low degree. Probably they are
all going. Why cannot Mr.. Gould take the
entire party with him on his yacht? They
could get up first-class Stock Exchange on
board, and if in the conflict that would Inc
yvitably follow they should toss one another
into the Atlantic or the Pacific the world
would not be likely to look upon the event
as very great calamity. If they should all
set sail from Sandy Hook some fine morning
wall street, to be sure, would be dull; hut
then the brokers would have time to attend
the prayer meetings in Trinity Church and
to listen to moral lectures In the Stock
Exchange.

"Abuse" of Dick Harrington.


There Is disposition among the Republi-
can journals of this city and State to charge
the GAZETTE with "abusing" Richard Har.
rington, Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee in the present campaign.
because we have persistently held up his
character and reputation before the people,
and exposed his arrogant assumption in
nguring SO conspicuously in the
politics of this State We fail to
see, however, where these papers
benefit their champion by such a course, as
charging the GAZETTE with abuse will not
disprove our assertion or clear Harrington
record Of the shame and disgrace attached
to 1t by his connection with the notorious
" District Ring that plunged the city of
washington into bankruptcy and forced it
To seek Congressional protection from
" Boss " Sheppard and his thievish gang.
We challenge these papers that see naught
but personal abuse' in the GAZETTE
references to Chairman Harrington to utter
one word in his defense. If they really
think we have done injustice to their chosen
party leader, let them take up the gauntlet,
and the evidence will be forthcoming to
prove his guilt beyond the shadow of a
doubt. We have said nothing that is not a
part of the record of the courts
at Washington, and adduced by testimony
30 direct and convincing that only iurv
basely packed in the interests of the guilty
conspirators secured his escape by disagree
ment from an indictment that is still hang
ing over his head. We have referred to his
connection with the notorious " District
Ring" Of Washington and the
shameful safe burglary conspiracy, not
as matter OF personal abuse,
but simply to prove that such a man
is not fit leader for a party claiming to
have for its chief object the improvement of
our State Constitution and the elevation of
our people, and that party submitting TO
such leadership should not be entrusted
with the legislation and laws of our State.
We hope to hear no more of this "abuse"
OF Mr.. Harrington. If his personal and
party organs wish to defend him let them
do so manfully, but they cannot make
martyr of their champion by endeayoring to
represent him as a victim OF partisan abuse.
Facts are stubborn things, and if they bear
hardly upon the character and record of the
Republican State Committee chairman, it is
his own fault, and 1t is not abuse to call the
attention of the people to events that apply
so forcibly and pertinently to the present
campaign.

Accident in the Hunting Field.


Last week, while the West Kent fox.
hounds were out cub hunting on the estate
OF MIR. George Wood, at West Court, South
neet, singular accident took place, T.
Dawson, the huntsman, was leading the
hounds, when his horse suddenly disap-
peared from under him, dropping into a
draw-well twenty-five feet deep. The rider
fortunately saved himself by clinglng to the
boughs of tree. The foxhounds and a foy
terrier went with the horse below, and II
was naturally anticipated that the animals
would be killed. The assistance of a mum
Der oi laborers was secured, and man was
lowered into the well by means of ropes. He
soon attached lifting gear to the unfortu-
nate horse, which was then hauled to the
surface by mere physical strength on the
part OF the laborers, without guys or me
chanical appliances, the animal materially
assisting in his own extrication by paving
at the sides with his feet as he was being
lifted. On reaching the surface 1t was found
that the horse had sustained no injury. The
ioAhounds were also recovered uninjured.
but the fox terrier sustained broken leo
ana had to be destroyed.

Boston shop women Abroad.

or the young shopwomen of Boston, now
on foreign tour, the London Truth saws :
"The heads Of the firm which sent them out
to Europe on their advertising tour knew
what they were about None Of them are
miraculously lovely, but they are all charm
Ing. Taken singly, they are delightful !;
taken collectively, they are bewildering
They do not show any Of the class vulgarity
which one finds in the young ladies Of
French and English emporiums. The young
ladies In many respects are equal TO the
Fifth avenue bellies, and in all others are
superior. They are soundly educated and
accomplished, dress In the best taste, are
self-respectful without being apeish, and
betray none of that self lfconsciousness which
is disagreeable feature In the Flora Mac
Flimsy, who comes to Europe TO haunt
down the owner of q coronet. There is also
an appearance of better health in the fair
IL from Boston than In almost any pretty
and fashionable New Yorker have ever
met. Their jackets fits like Jouvin gloves
the skirts are garnished enough to be
elegant, are short enough to be perfectly
convenient, are neither skimp nor volumi-
nous, are of tints that harmonize with hats
and bonnets, and are of materials that dust
and foul weather will not easily spoil. OF
course the graceful contours of the wearers'
figures, and their manner of bearing them
selves, count for good deal in the general
effect. No wish is betrayed In the style of
the young ladies' toilets TO court attention.
What the dresses do--and II Is the triumph
of arts TO throw out we'll, Dut not
violently, every plastic and other beauty.
The charming IL from Boston are not aware
that they are utilized to advertise II they
knew II they would not be SO natural and
completely at their ease. They are under
the impression that they were only sent out
to Europe as reward for application to
business duties
