HOW TIT was WORKED.

Sslscsman Flelschner and hisiFaiiure
 to Vote for MT. Joachinson.
 There is quite story afloat connected with the way Town Agent Reynolds came near getting left on Tuesday night.
 It was due, 30 1t Is alleged, because Select man FIsischner broke his promise and voted for John J. Sullivan, for assistant superin- tendent of the almshouse, instead of for E. A. Joaohipson. He did this after he had ssked MT. Joachinson to become candi- date.
 It seems that MT. Flsischner is one of the Democratic members of the board of select- men who are in perfect harmony with MT.
 Ir. Joschinson has written . card, iu which he publicly thanks Messrs. Sloat, Strong and Hillman for their courtesy in voting for him, "as the vote was given mo purely out of friendship and In the interest of good government, while I am sorry to say Mir. Fleiachner, who asked me to be his candidate for the above position was not man enough to vote for bis own selected candidate, but sold himself, as 1t seems, body and soul. Having led me to believe, and telling me he was making the aght for mo as . German Jew, tho Jews of New Haven may feel honored In their represent ative on the board of selectmen."
 In an interview Mfr. JoAohinson said that Mr. Fleischuer had come to him and told him he was now able to do something for him. He asked him # he supposed he could get any of the Republican, votes. Gr: Joachinson said in answer that he thought he could. Nr. Flsisohner promised to vote for Joachiuson through thick and thin. "I began work ct once," said Nr. Joachim, con. Nr. O'Brien and Mr. Adler became in- tersstsd In me. They saw the Republican msmbers for mo and As result ot that work secured the promise of all three Republicans to work for me. MT. Adler and visited MT. Fleischners store and told him all the partto. ulars and that the three Republicans would give me their votes. He was we'll pleased and promised then before Mir. Adler that he would vote for mo and said there was now no reason why l should not have the place. It was, he said, . long time since man of our nationality had been In the office and he thought it was about time one was there. "Later Mr. Flsisshner came to me and said hs had bad news. He had been knocked out in tho Democratic caucus, as Nr. Reynolds had named his man. MT. Fleischner was very sorry, but he said he would not throw me over In that way. He assured ne that there was no question about my being appointed assistant superintendent at the almshouse If could get the three Republicans to stand by mo. The Republican members promised to
 
 1t. He said was all right. There the mat ter rested until Tuesday night, when MT. Fleischner voted for Mr.Sullivan after urging me to become candidate"
 It seems that at the Democratic caucus Mir. Flsischnsr did not present MT. Joachinson's name.
 Selectman Strong was seen and he said Mir. Fleischner had agreed to stand by Joachim son If the Republicans would vote for San- ford.
 "Did he tell you that he would vote for Nr. Joachinson for assistant superintendent"
 "Yss, cir. He told both MT. Hillmaa and myself. It was thoroughly understood how we were to act. We wore to vote for San ford and he was te vote for Joachinson for assistant. There was no mistake. There oouid have been none, as there was no olerk- ship to hll. As he didn't vote for Mir. Joachinson, MT. Joachinson wasn't elected, and that's all there is of 1t. I have nothing to conceal about it."
