most intimate terms. Hill had. in fact, prom
ised that he would do most anything reasonable
for McKane. Mclaughlin had instructed the
Kings county delegation to vote against Hill.
Mchane was a delegate from that county, broke
away from Mclaughlin. refused to obey his
dictates and supported the Hill faction.
"A bill was then pending in the legislature
which gave McKane $500, 900 to spend for i'm
provements at Gravesend. After the fight was
over Mclaughlin first learned OF the bill He
went to Hill and told him that he must choose
between himself and McKane The bill was
passed and IL was vetoed.
This action of the governor SO incensed
Mckane and the attitude Of Mclaughlin had
been so antagonistic TO him that he afterward
left the democratic party and went over to the
republicans. In the campaign following the
republicans were very much discouraged about
carrying New York. You will remember that
they were suddenly encouraged and became
the bolt of Mckane, with his $500
votes. which being taken from the
democratic party and transferred to the re-
publican party meant total loss Of 5000
from the democrats. This bolt also inspired
the republicans with such confidence that il was
used as a basis for the raising of fund of
$1,000. 900 in New York city. most of which was
spent In Kings county as soap and which, to-
gether with the moral support and strength and
confidence inspired by McKane's action, carried
the state for Harrison"
But John got his $500 900 after all. And il
was Hill who signed the bill. There was a bill
passed subsequently giving the town of Shan
caken some money. In order to make it a gen.
