there has been presentation of some kick

specific" Have you heard of a plan for
the removal of Kelly from the leadership OF
Tammany hall?" was asked. Il have heard
great many things, but nothing tangible;
as have always stated, there is growing
uneasineSS, but am convinced that it will
not amount to anything. By fall Mr.. Kelly
will be back, and the moment he makes his
appearance all this trouble will be set
aside" ''What about Mayor Grace? 1t is
claimed that he has already captured the
county Democracy and is making fast strides
toward the possession of Tammany hall?'
Il don't believe word of it, but cannot
speak positively on the matter" Mayor
Grace reached his Office early. When asked
about his carrying the County Democracy
reorganization
IN HIS POCKET,
he laughed outright and remarked: 81 own
nobody, and it is becoming very serious
question as to whether or not l own my

conversation. With regard to there being
any trouble in the County Democracy,
Thompson denied it emphatically. 'The
County Democracy organization" he said,
lis as much in tact now as it ever was. All
this talk of trouble between Fire Commits
sioner Purroy and myself is nonsense. We
never had any trouble. Then, again, the
idea of ever joining Tammany hall is worse

Peculiar Business Methods

1t was during John w. behring's term as
mayor that the negotiations with the Cana.
dian Pacific railroad for the sale of the Port.
land and Ogdensburg took place. While
these negotiations were pending the Hon.
John W. Deering popped up with an offer
for the road from New York syndicate.
At one OF the meetings he flourished a de.
spatch which he said be had just received
Offering certain sum ($8o0, 900 we believe)
for the road. Mr.. Deering has been flourish
ing that despatch ever since, and every time
discussion has arisen regarding the ultimate
disposition of that road he has popped up
Ike Jack-in-the.B Box and paraded it. AT
the meeting of business men few weeks
ago TO consult in regard to the bill then
pending in the legislature Mr.. Deering was
on hand with this despatch.
What we would like to know is in what
capacity it was that he received this de-
spalch? The natural supposition would be
that it was sent TO him simply because he
was mayor and therefore the proper channel
through which to communicate with the CITY
government. Mr.. behring's conduct, how
ever, negatives this assumption. he has
never placed the despatch on file in the CITY
archives aud only three weeks ago he de-
clartd that he regarded it as his own private
property. thereby clearly implying that
1t was addressed TO him, not in his public
capacity as mayor of the city, but in some
private capacity. What was this capacity?

The woodwork aud furniture Is mahogany,
with cherry trimmings, and the men at
work in the room say that it will be one of
the most richly furnished Offices in the
building. The Office is in the north end of
the building, with windows looking out
upon Nassau and Liberty streets. It is on
the fourth floor, adjoining the Chamber of
Commerce rooms, and few feet away is
the New York office of General B. F. But
Ter.
When Mr.. Matthew Arnold was in Chica-
go, young girl of II was among the multi
tude who called upon him. She told Mr..
Arnold that she bad read nearly everything
that he had written, and surprised and de-
lighted him by reciting some of his poems
and several extracts from bis prose writings.
On investigation he discovered that the
child was poor, and that she had borrowed
nearly all the books that she had read from
circulating libraries. A few days ago she
received package from Mr.. Arnold which
contained complete set of his prose and
poetical works, all of which were bound in
full Russian leather and with gilt edges. The
value OF the set is said to be about $3.50. The
girl is even more delighted with the pleasant
note accompanying the gift.

Mr.. behring's Achievements.

That the public may not forget the mag
niicent achievements of the Hon. John W,
Deering while mayor we repeat them this
morning:
First, he mentioned in his inaugural that
a new engine was needed.
Second, he spent 81, 700 for a fourth Of
July celebration.
Third, he uniformed the firemen perma-
nently attached to engine houses.
Fourth, he painted the city building.
Fifth, he repaired the Chestnut street
school house at cost greatly exceeding
what responsible parties offered to do it for.
That no injustice may be done Mr.. Deer
ing we supply one or two achievements
which the Argus apparently overlooked.
He drove the boys off the City Hall steps.
He fixed The closing time of rumshops.
He caused himself ard the aldermen to be
admitted to all shows free.
Verify his achievements ought TO be In.
scribed upon monument erected to his
memory.

Concerning Rumsellers.

The Argus which Immediately after the
election Of March 2 declared that all the
runsellers voted for Fogg has now under
. taken to back up its falsehood by publishing
the names of the rumsellers alleged 10 have
SO voted. The list contains eleven names,
and there can be no doubt that the name of
every rumseller who there is slightest rea-
son to suppose voted for Mr. Fogg was put
into it, Now the Argus has frequently de-
cIared that there are about 800 rumsellers in
this city, and Elk Marshal Andrews placed
the number at that figure in his testi-
mony before the board OF aldermen about q
year ago. Whom did the remaining 2s9 rum
sellers vote for? There can be no doubt.

The Boston Record tells of Maine DEM
ocrat who sold twenty lunches of shingles
TO help pay his expenses to Washington on
an ofhce-seekiDg trip. When he started out
he thus expressed his confidence:
"By guml the old mans hay never got wet yet,
and he calkerlates he won't get left this time
Hes going to be thar on the spot and he amt 60
ing home till the folders all ready to put in the
barn, and by gum! he's going to ride in on top of
the losdl'
The elegance of his diction would certain
ly not cause him to be mistaken for Mug
wump. On the contrary it is good evidence
OF long and strong allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party, and the mans chance of get
ting hundred dollar post flee is good.
