Of his Ash ponds. watching couple Of his seals eating
their morning meal. and he seemed TO enjoy their
sporting greatly lie said that he had run away from
his business and the city TO spend day OF rest on
tho Island. When asked about the nomination for
Mayor, he laughed and said that he had gone 70 his
country place TO avoid being bored ana that.
therefore, he preferred to say nothing about politics
| or business or any matter that would detract his
mind from his slceltlooking seals, for instance and
he laughed again pleasantly. Mr. Starin's ardent Re

equally evident that there is anything but harmony

seem have lost ground. but they are now cutchng
anothers throats and every one knows what tho
result Of faction fights always is in their party

THE DEMOCRATS IN BAD MESS.
II would be difficult TO conceive a more bitter stare
Of feeling than that existing between Tanmany ian
