ION ACCOUNT OF" A WOMAN
~ srsIE ANrRoRt =.

Numbered among the sorrowful
souls since the election is Tom
MerrydO, who was the Republican
nominee for congress from a certain
district in Michigan. During the
campaign Merrydo had used every In
ducement known to politicians to fur
Their his cause and felt pretty sure of
success, provided he could control the
village of Blowout. The voters of
this community, with the exception
of fifteen, were disposed to be in SYM
pathy with him, and promised to do
their best with the delinquent fifteen
If he would come out the night before
election and give them speech
MerrydO readily assented and chuckled
to himself when he thought of the
convincing arguments and taking
Jokes he would hurl against the un-
conquered Already anticipation pic
tured alluring visions of Washington
life, and he could see himself estab-
lished as Congressman Merrydo, but,
alas political power is built of flimsy
material, and the most carefully calcu-
lated plans often miscarry.
Early in the day previous to cleo
ton, Merrydo sent one of his emissa-
ries ahead, armed with numerous
superhOus dollars, boxes of cigars and
a general layout of other campaign
inducement we'll known TO politicians
The elements seemed to combine
with the stubborn fifteen to give
Merrydo hard pull. For three days
il had poured down perfect rivers OF
rain. Thus the roads TO Blowout,
which was situated in the woods
twelve miles from a railroad, were in
a most alarming condition. Merrydo
wished to impress the $50 hardy sons
of toll as being one of the people,
although in his ante political days he
had been decidedly sybaritical in his
tastes, and despised the very class he
now was so anxious to conciliate; but
policy is a wonderful regulator, and
Merrydo hailed the prospect of q
muddy ride with joy, knowing that
by the time he reached Blowout there
would at least be the outward indica-
tions of a man who does not tear a
trifling discomfort.
He went as far as he could by rail,
and at the nearest station hired horse
and sulky to drive the remaining dozen
miles. At half after five o'clock he
was well on his way, feeling tremen-
dOusly exhilarated. Finally, when he
had left the station far behind and
there was not house in sight, he spied
q female walking on the extreme edge
of one side of the road. The light was
beginning to grow uncertain, but
Merrydo could see she was both young
and pretty, and he also observed be-
wildering mass of embroidered petit
coats and the twinkling of seal let hose
as she dsintily lifted her dark dress to
avoid the mud.
Merrydo, feeling disposed to talk to
some one and shave little fun," as he
afterwards said, drove close to the girl
and halted. He noticed an expression
of surprise In her eyes and the fright
ened blush that suffnsed her face and
throat. He dotted his hat in grave
courtesy and was out of the sulky In 9
moment"

selfish and unscrupulous olgarchy will not 90

AN INSTRUCTIVE CONTRAST.

RnnubIcans are accustomed to the privilege
-. III, for good men-so accustomed, in fact,
w. or,otimes 70 lose sight OF the real significance
If the priviege. They always expect that the
conventions to which they delegate the TASK
Of making nominations for public Offices VIII 40
their work with honesty and sagacity, ana they
are seldom disappointed. Nevertheless, u Is
not often that even Republicans can study the
Tot Of their own candidates and find among
,hem all so few who are not ideally tit for
nIaces Of trust and authority as an examination
Of the State and city tickets to be voted for
next Tuesday discloses. The nominees were
solected in obedience to the overwhelming de-
mand of the party for purity and efficiency In
administration. They are men OF good repute
in whom it is safe TO confide because they al
WAYS have been safely confded in. They are
not smirched, nor even suspected by their most
rancorous adversaries.
The Democracy have nominated State
ticket containing the names of two candidates
whom the most important organs OF the party
and many of its most respectable members de-
nounced in advance as totally unfit for renonl-
nation. for whom thousands of Democrats will
vote under protest and thousands will not vote
at all. The progress of the campaign has not
diminished their disgrace nor the blunder OF
their selection. Every day has made it more
difficult for honest voters to support them.
Against Tabor the old arraignment stands IN
full force, and in a clearer light, while Wemple,
in addition to this same odiOus delinquency, is
proved to have actually forfeited his office by
illegal practices which were not publicly known
before this week. Seldom indeed have even
Democrats been put in such dilemma by the
INSCRIPTIONS folly and wicl1edness Of their own
leaders The contrast between the two parties
as revealed in their candidates is sufficiently
instructive to every voter who has conscience.
We believe that the result of the election will
prove that the instruction has been taken to
heart.

TEMPLE CONVICTED BY SHANAHAN.

In the face Of the overwhelming evidence
against Controller Wemple, The World' yes
terday ATTEMPTED to defend him. The line OF It's
defence was that the facts thus far produced did
NOT show positively that the Controller had any
direct interest in the canal-bi1dse contracts
with which his name has been associaled' Ills
firm. 1.-THE World" seems to think, had mere
" sold machinery to individuals" who hap
pened to be canal contractors just as 10 would
sell machinery to any person having occasion TO
bry.n 1t added, however, that II the ma
cbinery was furnished otherwise than by difect
sale to the contractor, if pnce or time OF pay
mcnt or other matter of that kind depended In
any degree upon the contractors success IN
getting his work accepted-in short, II the hrm
selling the machinery became in any degree
mariners in the contract-the law was clearly
and hagrantly violated"
Now it was shown conclusvey in THE IRIB-
UNE Yesterday that Mr.. Wemple accepted the
contract for the iron-work and machinery OF
the Champlain Canal Bridge at Waterford. and
that almost every one OF the five thousand IN
habitants Of that town was ready to testify t'
the fact This ought to be sufficient evidence
to satisfy any fair minded citizen. But 1t Is
not all The TRIBUNE has to offer. Furthe'
proof against the guilty official was brought
to light yesterday, and will be found at length
in our Albany dispatches on the first page this
morning. 1t is of the precise nature demanded
by "The World" and is furnished by no less
an authority than the present Democratic super
intendent of Public Works, James Shanahan
This officials last annual report, submitted to
the Legislature on January 2, 1889, shows thai
the Controllers firm, William b. WempleS
Sons, of Fultonvile, were bidders for work on
various locks of the Erie Canal, and succeeded
in obtaining the contracts in every instance
And yet Controller Wempe stated in The
! Evening Post' of Wednesday that his firm
never had any State contract work"
What does "The World" think of Mr.. Wem-
pie now And what has " The Albany Argus Ia
say about him? Only yesterday it declared
that Edward Wemple had neither directly
nor indirectly any interest "in any contract
for bridge work or any canal work" and that
any statement to the contrary" was ga plain
lie." What does "The Argus' think of these
utteranccs to-day and what do the people think
Of Wemple? Can any decent citizen vote FOR
him or for the tainted ticket on which his name

Next Tuesday the taxpayers will be called
unon to decide in whose hands this very re-

between Edward Wemple, the present incum-

candidate. The one has been tried for two
years and found wanting-wanting efficiency,
wanting fidelity, wanting obedience to the laws
His connection with the Assembly ceiling scan
dal and with the contracts for building canal
bridges stamps him as utterly unworthy OF the
nublic confidence. He has forfeited his office,
and if Governor Hill does his plain duty, will
