decessors Of the ice company derived title
from two grants made by the city. which re-
served from the land granted any streets that

tanned that a street seventy feet wide and three
miles long had been laid ont through this land
under an act OF 1852 along the Harlem River.
The ics company commended that the street
had never been legally laid out. also that the
land Is really on the East River and not on the
Harlem River. and that the act of 1852 did not

city that the tee company has not title 10 the

THE nl'KIELEE LANDSLIDE. d

The political landslide 20 McKin-
ley was surprise to most people, even
E to the republicans IN this county, and
great Disappointment to the support
ers and admirers OF Bryan. They con
sfderit unaecountable, from their belief
IN and careful study Of the issues be
fore the people. They. eannOt nnder-
stand hoE such mOmentOus issues as
imperialism, the trusts and the money
question could be routed by such a
zroFsIlfng appeal as athe full dinner
pail" 1t, to them, is an astounding
revelation Of fact not supposed pos
sible to exist Ia the republio-thst the
majority OF voters are Influenced en-
tirely By selfish motives, and that the
masses Of the people are gasterOpOds,
and travel on their stomachs.
The defeat Of the fusion ticket in
the state was sn important factor in
carrying 1t into the republican column
on the national ticket. Stanley was q
weak man and not popular in his own
party. BreidenthaI was weaker. man
than Stanley and less popular in the
popnIist party than Stanley was in the
republican party, as the outcome Of
the state election shows. But both
were load to carry. Stanley with
the full diuner pail under one arm
and a bundle Of Johns prosperity in
ter7iews under the otherfloated. John
had no life preserver on, and besides,
being Weighted down with a heavy pack
labeled APATHY, my ambition, petty
feuds, and, my. record as bank examin-
er. vas caught in the tidal wave of
aprOsperity" and sank. his last words
being: 81 told you so; nothing bat a
cataeIysm of nature or a pestiEence
can prevent MeKinley's election -
Poor Johnl His drowning hurt Bryan.
The fusion campaign in this county
was eminently successful. Notwith
standing the fact that there was a mid
dle-of-the-road ticket in this county,
the fusionists elected five out Of six
county Representative, county
attorney. probate judge, 7superintend-
snt Of public instruction and commits
siOner, losing only clerk Of the court,
who was persuaded to accept the mid
dIs-of the-r road endorsement, which is,
probably the cause of his defeat, Every
man on the ticket, and, indeed, every
fusionist pulled true for the whole
ticket.
The fusion ticket came ont not only
successful but with honor. No mud
singing was INDUCED in, and opposi-
ton candidates we're not attacked
Tt was a clean campaign, an honorable
political contest. The returns viii !
show that the state and national tick
cts were Loyalty sustained. In some !
instances the personal popularity of
candidates increased their majoritles,
as is slways the case, but the campaign /
wss fairly conducted in every way.
