No steps have so far been taken by tho
Board of Public Works to repair the wash
outs caused by the recent rains. The coun-

the repairs, but neglected to provide the

but no men have been employed to repair
them.

that while there was no money in sight 1t was
necessary that some of the holes should be

half a dozen men In New York and PENN
sylvania were secretly opposed to IL, and In
the end secured Clay's defeat. How they
were able TO DO this forms one Of the
strangest tales that our political history has
to tell. General Scott was used as a. stalk
ing horse to take the New York delegates
ava from Clay, 10 whom they rightfully
belonged, while in Pennsylvania the anti.
Masonry episode was artfully employed to
conceal the opposition Of a few politicians to
Clay, These maneuveTs, together with the
lack Of generalshlp shown by the friends
Of Clay, assured his defeat. and the nomi-
nation went TO the comparatively obscure
Harrison. who had not lifted his finger to
secure 1t.
-Four years later Van Barren. who was de-
featel by Harrison in 1874, should have been
renominated by the democrats. a clear ma
jority of thirty in their national convention
favored his candidacy. but his friends failed
to defeat the adoption OF the two-thirds rule,
a measure fraught with peril to his fortunes,
and James X. Polk. who had never asp!red
to anything higher than the vice presidency,
Colonel Benton, was a surprise and marvel
to the country" In the whig convention OF
that year Clay was nominated by acclama-
ton, and at first his election seemed certain.
But Clay's bitter personal enemy, James G..
Birney, accepted the nomination Of the FREQ
soil party, and, 80 many charged, prosecuted
an active canvass In order to defeat Clay.
Birney's candidacy, whatever may have been
its object, proved fatal to that of Clay. The
10, 900 votes which he received in New York
were nearly all drawn from the wings, and
this detection gave Polk the state and the
election.
