COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY.
Strong Nominated for Mayor After Some
Very Stormy Scenes.

NEW YORK, Oct 9-After one of the liv-
Hest times witnessed in this city, the New
York state Democracy this evening nomi-
mated the choice of the committee of sew
enty, Colonel William K. Strong. for
mayor; John w. Golf for recorder and
Henry r. Beekman for justice of the su-
perior court.
The delegates were addressed by ex-Sec-
rotary Fairchild, who urged the nominal
tion of S rong and the defeat of the Tam
many hall. His speech provoked storm
of Kisses. Finally an effort WAS made TO
stampede the convention for ex-Mayor
Grace. Mr.. Grace stated he would
not accept because OF ill-health. He
then pleaded with the delegates
to vote for Strong. So earnest
were his words that the delegates decided
to accept the candidate of the commits tee
of seventy and the Republican party. The
delegates, however, had their revenge a
few minutes later when Otto kempner was
named for sheriff He had been the choice
of the committe of seventy but by vote
of 100 to the delegates threw him over
board and nominated L. j. Tamsen.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WORD wAD.
tome of It's Various Meanings as Explained
by Mr.. Gratebar.

81 rather like the word wad-" said Mr..
Gratebar. II suppose that in its COM
monest significance it would apply to al
most any unused up bunch of stuff-a
handkerchief, for instance, gathered up
loosely and pressed together in the hollow
of the hands as one would round a snow
ball, woIld be a wad. \ bank note would
be in a wad if it were all rumpled and
rolled up in bunch. 4 number of bills
Jumbled and rumpled and twisted up to-
gether any way would be described as
rolled up in regular wad.
while the word thus conveys primari-
ly the idea of disorder, if not confusion,
il has in some of its applications TO money
other and very different meanings. In
an account of a highway robbery We might
read, The robbers got away with his
wad.' Here wad would refer TO the con-
tents of the victims purse, and il would
apply alike to u Or 81, 900 or TO s.. 90. 1t
would mean the sum of the victims pos
sessions in money whatever it might be-
Another wad would be the wad refer
red to when we say: The colonel offered
TO hack his opinion with the hard cash.
He got out his wad and proceeded TO strip
500 bills from the back of il, saying that
he, and so on. This wad must be about
as big around as middling sized tum-
bier, or nearly so. 1t is not imperative
that the bills should be all of large de-
nomination. Wads have been known that
had wrappers of fifties and filters of ones,
but bulk is essential.
Il once read of a wad of this sort that
was said 10 be as big around as a stove
pipe Perhaps something of the size of
this wad was dine 10 a somewhat fiorid
style of description, but would not lessen
it by single bill. \ wad of that size is
pleasant To dwell upon. New York sun.
