I'd iudge by appearances, L. W.
Redingbn, who went from Rutland tC
New York years ago to practice law. is
not unlikely to make quite a little ex
citeme1t in the legislative investiga
tion row on in New York and directed
against Tammany. Mr.. Redington il
a democrat and represents the 34th as
sembly district in legislature. He wal
formerly Tammauy man. but voted
contrary to that organization som'
time ago and now has a fight on hi
hands Boss Croker demands his res
ignatiop and is angry because he doe
not receive it, but according to tn,
New York Sun, Mr.. Redington will
not resign. Instead be may tell th,
Mazeteers few things about Croker
rule OF Tammany hall, which b,
knows, and which if told may not b.
to the credit Of the Boss. Croke
knows this and is worried over it ant
consequently is doing all in his powe
to get Mr.. Redington's resignation
but the probabilities are that Mr.
Rediogton will be called as a witnes
notwithstanding.
