Sir.-After reading the card Of Mr..
5. 5. PA Patteson, ex-chairman of the
City Democratic Committee / have to
say that I,intended no injustice in my
card in your last Sundays issue TO my
friend. Mr.. PattesOn. or the committee
over which he presided. or 10 any mem
Der of the present committee, but have
further 10 say. i'm regard TO my candi-
dacy at the Democratic primary two
years ago, the following:
Mr.. Patteson says that "Mr. Smith
had one week in which TO make his
charges and call for a recount. This he
failed TO do, but when the time was out
asked that recount and recanvass of
the votes Of the Second precinct Of Madi-
son ward be made Immediately upon
seeing the published returns Of the pri-
mary. ! thought the number Of votes
returned for the Second precinct Of Mon
roe ward too many. and after making
canvass of said precinct. I felt satisfied
was right in the premises / forthwith
called on Mr. PattesOn and got his uer-
mission TO look over the poll-books, then
I'm his possession, as ! had the right un-
der the primary plan 10 do so. had
proceeded not more than half an hour
in my examination, when. dinner-hour
arriving. ! stated 10 Mr.. Patteson that
would return after dinner TO continue.
on my return. ! was informed by Mr..
Patteson thar Captain Epps. my opp0-
nent, objected to my examination: and
Mr. Patteson saying. as far as he was
individually concerned. ne had no obiec-
ton for me TO proceed. He further said
that the matter Of examination would
have to be referred 10 the committee. and
he would call IL together and get their
permission: so I was compelled TO await
a meeting OF said committee. In the
mean time, based upon such facts ss
] was able TO get i'm the short time al
lowed to give notice Of contest. ! pre-
pared notice of contest and called on
Mr. Patteson TO present it. and was in
formed by him that 1 was five minutes
too late. as it was 1906 r. NJ. when
should have presented il at y NJ
When the committee was assembled
they appointed a subcommittee, ana be
fore them 1 continued the examination
of the Second Monroe ward precinct. and
found that Sc more votes had been re-
turned for Captain Epps than had been
given TO any other candidate running.
on calling the committees attention to
&c. they manifested great surprise. and
was asked what ] was going 10 do
and | informed them that ! dil not see
that ] could do anything. as I was too
late. The committee said. 1T seems TO
be a clerical error" IL is by clerical er-
rors that any candidate for office could
be defeated. II is only for the judges
or clerks at any precinct to think alike
TO make Il an easy undertaking 20 do a
candidate grave injustice in overlooking
a clerical error.

The Millionaire Acquires the Famous
Piit-f ,rd Herd.

Pitt-f frd Herd.
George Vanderbilt has bought and
shipped TO his great farm. Bitmorc, near
Asheville. y. c.. the whole herd of Jersey
cattle. .125 i'm number, Of the Pittsfcrd
farm near Rochester. The sale of this
famous herd. owned by Frank W. Haw-
lev. the third Of The five owners OF great
heads Of Jerseys IN New York, is due 10
the action OF the state Board OF Health
i'm its attitude as TO tuberculosis In cattle
and the confirmation of its action by the
Court Of Appeals
Mr.. Hawl. ". discouraged because of
the condemnation of his fine stock and
the ridculously low compensation award
ed by the Board Of Claims. offered his
herd to Mr.. Nanderbilt's manager, then
in Philadelphia, by telephone. The offer
was accented and within three days the
stock was en- route TO North Carolina.
1t is believed that Gov. Morton and the
other breeders of Jerseys will also dispose
of their cattle, and that the industry may
disappear from the State. II is said-iirst,
that the test for tuberculosis adopted by
the authorities is too severe, unjust and
unreliable. A score or more of Gov. Nor
tons COWS. were killed under orders.
Then the Board of Claims decided that a
cow was only COW, whether Jersey or
otherwise and awarded the Governor s55
apiece for his animals. Their market val
ne was 5000.
Among Mr.. Hawley's herd was Kath-
rine, Of Pittsford. who won the butter
test at the Worlds Fair and was valued
at $500. She was killed the other day
and s35 was received as compensation for
the famous prize-winner Others OF Mr.
Hawlev's cattle worth $50. 600 We're taken.
for which only a trining return was made
bv the STATE.
The purchase of the Pittsford herd by
M Vanderbilt is the first intimation that

veto message:
To the General Assembly:
1 herewith respectfully return without
my approval House bin No. 900. entitled
An act relating 20 removing the county

First The bill provides that the quail
fed voters of the city of Alexandria shall
have the right TO vote upon the question
Of removing the site of the courthouse of
Alexandra county from the city Of Alex
andria 90 some point In the said county.
This. / think, is palpably wrong. The
voters 90 tho county alone should Ice
permitted 70 determine for themselves
where the rrt-house OF this county
should Ice located. l can see no justice
or propriety in allowing the voters of the
city OF Alexandria to vote upon the ques-
tion.
Second There is another bill Senate
bin 25O in my hands relating TO the same
subject. II provides for submitting 10
the people OF the county alone. / can

Intended TO pass conflicting acts. ana
