About eighty years ago in little village
near the town of East Haddam lived BOSS
Lee," silversmith, from whom the place
took its name of Leesville. Boss Lee was
building a new house, and as panes of glass
with a "bullseye'' were thought to be or
namental some of them were put into the
windows. An eccentric old man. who
thought himself quite a philosopher. OBJ
served these and warned the workmen of
their danger in acting possibly as burning
glasses and thus setting the building on
fire.
He gave case in point where some shaw
ings left on a south window sill Of a new
house took fire from this cause while the
workmen were away at dinner, and they
returned just in season to save the house.
''Now," concluded the old man impress
sively, 'if that had happened in the night
the house would have been burned up;
nothing could have saved it. '-Hartford

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September r.
1t was announced on Saturday that
President Harrison's letter of accept
ance would be made public this after
noon, at 4 o'clock but the time was
changed by instructions received from
the President late last night and the
document will not be placed in hands OF
the press until six p. m. tonight. No
explanation is given as the cause when
lead TO the President to withhold the
letter but it is said he prepared IT some
what hastily and felt that few changes
before it was given publicity.
Another reason suggested was that
he had been Influenced by Col. Elliott
f. SHEPPARD not to issue it on the Sab
bath day. Editor Sheppard is head OF
the Sabbath Observance Society, and
makes it his especial fad; he has labored
with the President to have him make
the letter public on week day, adding
that it would be a desecration OF Sun
day.
The letter as compiled contains about
5000 words.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September A
In a recent issue OF the PrOgrCSSjUe Far
Jper. :. Otto Wilson, the newly elected
Chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Peoples party of North Caro-
lima. asserts over his own signature that
he has been offered bribe from the
Democratic managers TO leave that
marty and Join the Democracy. He
further stated that he would not give
MIR. Cleveland a one-thOusand part OF
his vote if he made him Secretary OF
State.
The declarations OF Mr.. Wilson have
been received with amusement by those
who know him TO be sore-head Demo-
crat. During President Cleveland's ad-
ministration, communication was re-
ceived at the State Department, stating
that an agricultural college In Austria
liza desired TO secure the services OF some
person capable of giving instructions in
resuect to the methods Of American
farming. The announcement was made
in the public prints at the time, that
there was such an opening, and one OF
the applicants for the place was ). VIII
son. of North Carolina. he was recon-
mended TO the Agricultural Department
as a qualified person by Senator Ran
som. of that State. Thereupon the
State Department sent his name to the
authorities in Australia suggesting his
selection. There was some delay in the
correspondence due TO the mail service
between this country and Australia, and
President Harrison succeeded President
cleveland in the meantime. As con-
seonence Mr.. Wilson failed TO secure
tbe aupciptment, and another man was
recommended. He assumes to believe
that his. selection was interfered with
nv the Democratic administration, al
tbongb it was the result entirely OF de-
law in the mails. Wilson is simply one
Of the discontented who can always De
found in public life, and his assertion
that there has been an attempt to orioe
him is simply contribution TO the
volume of current political humor.

"The Presidents remarks were those

between the parties. We went over
the more important and public ques-
tions, such as the tariff, finances and
fair elections, and the manner In which
our principles as to those questions
should be placed and kept before the

"Will your friends throughout the

And PrInce Russell Are Hard at Work

S1eciaL telegram to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., September A
A Republican member OF Congress who
has returned from New York reports
that the party managers have lost ialth
In Chairman Carter's ability as Ma
tional campaigner and that IL would be
n greatful relief to the Republican poll
ticans il Carter would retire from the
eampairn and resume his former place
in the department.
The cause of the objections to Chair
man Carter is that on the most import
ant political matters he will consult
with nobody but Russell Harrison. me
and Prince Russ" practically constitute
the Republican campaign committee
which is rapidly becoming demorauzed
under the sort OF schoolboy manage
ment which has prevailed since 1t was
organized.
Personally Russell Harrison is an
agreeable young man, but the old sta
gers have very grave doubts about his
nolitical ability and they would be
pleased TO have him disappear from the
vicinity OF ReDu blican headquarters.
1t is a delicate matter 10 suggest TO the
son of the candidate that is not needed
for purposes of consultation and ad'
vice. and as Chairman Carter leans on
Russell and encourages him to help man
age. the affairs of the committee are be-
coming rapidly "RusselIzed."
The chief grievance against Carter IS
the belief that he and Russell are In
combination 10 defeat Senator Sanders,
the present United States Senator from
Montana, with the ideaof having Car
ter succeed him. With the chairman
working in his own personal interest tc
the neglect OF the welfare OF the party
at large. the dissatisfaction among the
Republican party leaders is only natural.
They would be glad TO exchange Carter
for VIM. J. Campbell, OF Chicago, VINO
was the Presidents first choice for the
chairmanship. even though he had been
declared by the President TO be pro
fessional lobbyist" and unit to hold
! federal position.
