Cleveland twas applsuded frequently and
his humor was enjoyed hugely by his

President Cleveland paid sincere tri-

He continued: "Those of us who are
conservative must be allowed to hope
that further investigation will continue
to point the way to the prevention OF
disease. For this investigation We must
still rely upon the efforts of those who
have already done so much In that d1-

such effective organizations as the

abuses your professional Investigations

DUPLEX ROLLER co.
Important Referee Case Before Judge
Walton.

Two Suits or Con6lQ6ra pl0 luboreSb anu
Importance were on trial in the Su-
preme Court room yesterday afternoon,
before Judge Walton as referee. The
actions were brought by Frank G. Pitch
or of Medford, Mass, against John Il.
Norton and Fred M. Libby, brokers, do
ing business in Boston. The suits are to
recover sor an alleged breach OF con-
tract and the value of certain stock In
the Duplex Roller Bushing Company,
dong business at Camden, at the time
of the issue of tho stock to the defendants
when the company was organized in this
city in November, 1894.
THE plaintiff claims and introduced tes-
timony to show that he was the original
owner of two patents for duplex roller
brushes for use in the sheaves for ship
blocks; that the right to use the patented
system had been purchased by the gov
ernment for use in the navy under
special act in the SD Congress-; that
Just prior to the organization of tn
Duplex Roller Bushing Company, un
der the Maine law, the plaintiff made
deal with the defendants whereby 1t was
claimed that the latter were to furnish,
essary capital. as it might be needed to
develop the business; that Mr.. Norton
was elected President of the company
and director, Mr.. LibDy was elected a
director; that each furnished $1,000, and
Mr.. Libby subsequently $50 more. which
latter sum, however, was repaid, and
that 1000 shares of stock were issued to
each of the defendants. The plaintiff
claims that the defendants refused to ad-
vance any further sums or to carry out
their part of the contract, and that be
rendered to them the amount which
they had advanced, with interest, and
demanded back the stock which had
been issued TO them, but that they re-
fused to, accept the money rendered, or to
re transfer the stock.
The defendants claim that they agreed
to advance the plaintiff the sum of $4,000
for the purpose of starting the business;
that the company was to be formed,
sident and director, and Mr.. Libby q
director; that they were to assist in sell
| ing the stock of the company to obtain
meaps with which to carry on the busi-
ness and to place the goods upon the
| market; but deny that they ever agreed
to furnish any further sums upon the
notes of the company, as the plaintiff
contends The defendants also claim
that the plaintiff subsequently, at a meet
| ing at which defendants were absent.
| elected other officers and attempted to
take matters into his own hands, when
the defendants brought suits upon the
| notes for the $1,000 originally advanced,
which suits are now pending.
The testimony was practically closed
when the hearing was adjourned to 10
| O'Clock this morning.
| Hons. Clarence Hale and Arthur F.
Beloher, Esq, appear for the plaintiff
and Messrs. Bird 81 Bradley for the de.
fendants.

.nR. LOWS PLATFORM.

The great massmeeting with which the Cit
zens Union campaign was formally opened on
Wednesday evening was certainly encouraging
as demonstration Of deep public sollcitude re-
gardng the issue which will be decided or No
vember . and we believe that 1t was prophetic
OF the decision which will then be made Mr.
Seth Lows first appearance as a candidate be-
fore the voters of this city was naturally an
occasion of special interest both to his support
ers and to his opponents. and his summary
statement of the case which he will defend nj
all points during the next few weeks justified
the expectations which the record Of his Brook
Ign campaigns had aroused. 1t was plain. d.
rect pertinent. and entirely free from the re-
sounding commonplaces with which political
speakers who either have no ideas to express
or sinister purposes TO conceal are pleased to
imagine that an Intelligent audience can be
fooled and delighted.
The gist Of Mr.. Lows address is that the
citys interests are the paramount issue. that
the people are entitled 10 demand and do de-
mand that their municipal business shall he
managed exclusively with regard to their com
mon welfare. and that they cannot safely trust
a Mayor who represents a contrary conception
of his relations and Obligations To make their
Just claims his first concern. These PROPOSE
tons are not novel On the contrary. /, is i'm
portant to remember that they belong TO the
accepted creed Of New-York Republicansm.
They are incorporated in the Constitution which
Republican delegates framed In the platforms
which Republican conventions have but and
in the charter recommended by Mr.. Low and
General Tracy TO the Republican Legislature
which adopted it. Their proclamation in this
campaign Is not In any sense a new departure.
1t Is the perfection Of regularity From the
