than Scoville. Manning's course in references
to the proposed grant of the seawall front to
the Erie and Lehish Valley Railroad, incor-
porated as a local toll road under the name
of the Buffalo Creek Railroad Company, has
made him host of enemies in railroad cir
cles, while the liquor interests oppose him
because he consented to an advance of the
license fees. Opposition was stirred up
against him Immediately after he was elected
to succe ed Gov. Cleveland, on these points,
and snap game was played in the City Com
mittee, by which caucuses were called to
elect delegates favorable to ScOville, who
was chosen by the Erie and Lshigh valley
| representatives. to punish ManDing. A few
weeks ago the Mayor received scented
billet-doux, written in delicate han6, from
lady, who declared that she had seen him
several times, and had fallen in love with him.
She desired to make his acquaintance, and
enjoy several visits per week The Mayor is
married man, with grown up sons and mar
ried daughters, and the billet-doux struck
him with surprise, as it was the first favor of
the kind ne had ever received. Suspec,ing
the trap, he communicated with intimate
friends, who have his interests of heart, and
placed them in such position that watch
could be kept. An appointment was
made with the woman, who was
found to be student in one Of the colleges,
and when she turned up and was accused of
being party in plot to destroy the good
name of the Mayor, she confessed and &C.

to Manning and acknowledged that she had
been made tool Of to ruin him politically.

and intends to proceed against the con-
spirators, who are mostly leading men. The
outbreak of the scandal has created great ex-
citement in political circles. Manning was
nominated for Mayor yesterday by Con-
vention of Democrats claiming regularity as
