He was a. veteran Of the late war and
devoted himself after It's close to agrt.
cultural pursuits and later to municipal
sanitation and civil engineering, and he
has written several interesting books on
these topics, When Mayor Strong was
elected to office Waring became street
commissioner, and ne kept New York

Virginia. The blessings so rare were
poured from their candidate, Hon. John
T. McGraw, who tried in his weak way
for one hour to make an intelligent audi
ence believe that they were not more
prosperous than they were TWO or three
years ago, and the only people that were
prosperous were members Of trusts and
monopolIes, and office holders he at
tempted to impress his audience with
the idea that they would have to elect
him to Congress in order that more pros
perity might be in evidence.
Mr.. MeGraW appealed to the railroad
emptoye and asked him the question II
he could buy the necessaries Of life as
cheap now as ne could two years ago,
but he forgot that there were faEmers In
his audience that were furnishing a
great many OF these necessaries and
were glad to get better prices.
He spoke of coal being mined and laid
down on the wharEs, &C., cheaper than
ever before, and 1t seemed never to have
entered his mind that two-thlrds of his
audience were buying their coal to cook
their meals and warm their houses,
cheaper than ever before. Mr. Mc9raw
