in fee simple, united their forces here to

Hello, Hackett!" exclaimed the SEN

make deal with you?'
II guess my deals are all made, Sem

glad to see you, anyway"
Senator Quay, who was looking re-

smile. ut should set at rest all sus-

\ Big Vote Wanted.
a number Of the ward leaders were
among his visitors to-day, and he in
pressed upon each of then the necessity
for active interest in TIE coming elec-
ton. What he said to City Commis-
sioner Wildemorc this forenoon may be
taken as fair sample Of what he told
the rest.
"Jake,' he said to Widemorc, III YOU
want to do me great favor. take of
your coat and work to roll up as big a
vote for the State candidates as you pos
sibly can. In addition to this, exert
your influence among your friends to do
likewise. l am particularly anxious that
the vote should reach as near as can be
that case ut the Presidential election. My
object in advising my friends to do this
at this time is to show to the people at
large that independent and opposition
are discountcnanced by the
voters. 1t has always been my expert
ence in politics that if these movements
are permitted to receive substantial sup
port ut the polls their promoters will lie
encouraged to organize more strongly
later on, in which event the stability of
the regular Republican party in the
future may be endangered.
