of the Magner Brothers except one bill OF
$50 for bobbins that he guaranteed. lie
claims that when the writ was issued in
the suit in whicD judgment was obtained
he went to one of the firm of Magner
Brothers and asked what IL meant. lie
was informed that 1t was for the rent of
some machinery used In the mill operated
by the MagneIs and that the difficulty
had been satisfactorily adjusted. AT the
time the judgment was entered Mr.. Arm

did not get back until after an execution
had been taken out.
j. j Magner in an affidavit read by At

SILVER MEN Sir ON sPEER
His Hesignation from the Bergen
Club Unanimously Aecepted

The silver element of the Bergen Demo-
cratic Club last night obtained the upper
hand and endorsed the silver ticket.
Mr.. F. Fl. Spengeman sent communi-
cation to the club stating that he was
out of town and would be unable to at

the nominees We're endorsed
The resignation of William H. Speer.
the president of the club, who recently
went over to the Republicans, was pr&
sented. The secretary had hardly finished
reading it when every man in the room
was on his feet to offer motion to ac-
cept it. Dan Smith thought the resigna-
tion ought to be accepted unanimously.
Mr.. Speer, he said, had given his resig
nation to the press for publication be-
fore he had offered it to his club for anv
action. His action was ungentlemanly
and hostile TO the welfare of the club and
the club should give his resignation no
further consideration than to lay it on
the table.
Major Armstrong said that it would be
me tne most severe rebuke the club could
heap upon their "faithless leader to ac
cept the resignation unanimously and
order the secretary to inform Mr. Speer
OF the action. Mr. McNally said
am In favor of any action which win
sufficiently rebuke this man who has re-
ceiyed so many honors from this club.
In return he has endeavored to retard the
success of our organization and party.
But he will yet regret his action

George Tenant, Frank e. Gormellv
and Daniel Shine were nominated for
president to succeed Mr.. Speer. Gormelly
was elected by a vote of 35 to for Mr.
Tenant and for Mr.. Shine.
