enthusiasm throughout the state. If
the alliance is dying out tile death

They say that abusive IS the only word

They report a little incident which
has not been given to the press. On
Thursday afternoon just as they were
about to proceed to the election of
officers and when of course, only mem
beers of the order were admitted to
the hail, a reporter of one of the SaIiBa
republican papers was found secreted
in the garrett. His fright and unceIe-

the republican club made nat failure
in attempting to respond to it. The
fact that delegates return from such
a gathering with heightened enthusi-
asm speaks plainly of the condition OF

4 REPUTATION.

EDIrOR or The GRAPHIC.
Owing to reports now in circulate on,
which reports were undoubtedly pro-
pagated by my political opponents to
injure my chances for election to the
office OF county surveyor, It is nee
essary for me to say: Firstly, that T
am entirely competent, and shall do
the work of the Office myself, and not
by another. In proof of such compe-
tency I will state that thirty years ago,
even when only boy, was AN author
ity i'll running the intricate lines of
New York, and was called to swamps
and mountain jobs, for a hundred
miles in either direction. Since then
have held very important offices in
the corps of engineers of New York,
and have had charge of very respon-
siDle photographic survey for the
United States. This should be enough
to establish my competency.
With reference to the time for which
1 shall claim pay from the county, I
will say that if elected L shall strictly
follow my reading of the law, and shall
open my Office one day in each week
only, for transaction of the regular
business of the Office, at other times
holding myself subject to the direction
of the county commissioners.
Respectfully.
