Brooklyn Eagle, he was afraid he would
be credited with having written the ed-
torial which appeared in that paper yes

| so as to make room at the top of the
| ticket for Gaynor.

made Gaynor hopping mad He con-
Guided that 1t would be attributed to
him, and in order to head off such an

to-day. and when (still according to the
rumoD he was told Of the result of his
editorial he almost had fit.

rumor, 1t may be stated that Editor
