Hard to Please.

GAINESVILLE Gazette: 1t will be very diff
6cult for the Republicans to nominate q
man for governor that will please The
Madison Democrat or the Democratic
party. Some how or other no: one of the
candidates named by The Democrat is ac-
ceptable to its party McFetridge is one
of the best men in the state. He is net
only that but he is strong man 10 an
executive sense, and the Republicans
talk of nominating him for governor.
Hold Taylor is another good man and
strong candidate. He is polished gen.
tleman, has splendid record, and would
make, as every Democrat knows, gov
erner for whom everybody would have,
or ought to have, the highest respect.
Then there is Hoard, who is just as clean
man as the Democrats can find in the
state, and yet the Democrats are kicking
against him. He is not only clean man
and knows the difference between butter
and oleomargaEine, but he is man of
broad common-sense, or what may be bet
ter to say, of uncommon sense, for broad
common sense is uncommon, and not one
sober Democrat can be found to dispute
the fact that he would make royal good
governor. and still the Democrats would
prefer that the Republicans drop him.

tract was let to the firm for building part
of the Croton aqueduct. The firms bid
was over $50, 900 higher than another bid
received, and higher than three others.
Still the commissioners appointed by Gov.
Hill gave O. Brien & Clark the job. They
sublet the contract to firm which agreed
to give them IL per cent. of the contract
price, which put over $4,000 in the
pockets of O'Brien & Clark and certain
Democratic politicians interested with
them. Out of this amount Gov. Hills
contribution to the campaign fund was
paid. Maurice B. Flynn, one of the poll
ticians interested in O'Brien & Clark's
contracts, on his examination gave the
following testimony:
@. Was it not said to you at or about

you ought TO give up your interest in

ought to 90 to make up payment of the
$4,000 note? A. don't think it proper
for me to answer.
Alter much discussion Mr.. Flynn's
counsel advised him to answer, and he
said:
"There was conversation OF that char
acter with O'Brien and Clark. said to
O'Brien that the profits of that section
should be set aside for our political assess
ments. referred to the governors $1O,-

in the suggestion that he even should
bear his proportion"
O. Did Clark object to the profits 60

is no reason why he should

est in the contracts. A. One-half.
@. And were outside parties obliged to
surrender their interests in the profits as
well as to pay this $4,000? A. | under
stood so, but cannot say positively.
Among the parties interested in the
acqueduct contracts besides Flynn, were
John Keenan,, representing the County
Democracy, a "boodler' who is now fugi-
tive in Canada, and Col. Mooney, repre-
senting Tammany hall. Each of these
three received one-sixth of the profits of
the aQueduct contracts. The contracts
are reported in all to amount to over ST.
100000, besides 81 5000 in extras"
and the profits were figured at 100000.

money is obtained which controls the cleo

There they gather in the roses.

Breathing their sweet perfume
