George Crocker has been handed no gold

dered him in return for his and the Stan
ford votes is of the pure quill and nine
hundred and odd fine. It's no robe of
woven, shimmering tinsel he is from this
date heir to. It's the royal purple itself
that has so long adorned the shoulders of
his friend, Mr. Huntington. This is ac-
cording to the word of Mr.. Crocker and
of Mr.. Stubbs, and of the office boy, who
holds the unidentified up at the outer
portal, and of about everybody else who
finds a living with one or the other of the

offices up under the roof, was pregnant
with denial of the allegation that Mr..
Crocker was anything less than as astute
