horses and cattle are frequently fed on dried

harm ensuing. During the early times of

large quantities, and horse feed. beyond the

Rochester, n. Y. July (SpeciaD-The unidsura-
mer quiet which succeeded the Presidential Conven-
ton al Philadelphia has been broken in Rochester
by two detonations which have startled the poIit-
ical campaigners out OF their hot weather somno-
lence. One was sprung to-day in the form of an
announcement that Assem- blynan A. J. Rodenbeck
would not be a candidate for denomination for the
Assembly and that he might be a candidate for
Special County Judge against Judge J. NJ. Stephens
who was appointed by the Governor TO fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of Judge Car
nahan now Mayor of the city. The other and
perhaps the more important. is an outburst Of the
latent hostility which has long existed between
George ". Aldridge and Congressman James NJ. E
O'Grady.
Mr. Rodenbeck announced last December that ne
was candidate for the tudgeship. and that in his
opinion the fact that he had been elected member
of the Assembly but had not yet qualified was no
constitutional bar 10 his appointment But Gov
