reene n Dissppointment.-A

II
classes OF Republicans in New York City
are complaining of what they call plainly
the incompetency Of the Hon. Francis
Vinton Greene, who succeeded the Hon
Lemuel Ely Quigg as Chairman of the
New York County Republican Committee
The position is one of considerable taeti-
cal Importance to the Republican mana
gers, in view of the fact that this crgani-
zation heretofore has been depended upon
10 cope with Tammany in minor matters
1t is said that under General Greene's
management the County Committee is
falling far short OF expectations, and that
even Mr. Hanna has had cause to complain
and to express disappointment that the
general has not measured up to the re-
quirements of the place he holds by spec
ial favor Of Hanna. It is recalled that
Mr. Platt was opposed to the selection of
General Greene as Quigg's successor, and
for time threatened to defeat Mr. Han
mas choice. In the interest OF harmony,
however, the far-sighted Mr.. platt yield
ed to the demands of Hanna and the en-
treaties of Roosevelt and permitted
Greene to be elected. General Greene is
president and general manager of the Bar
Der Asphalt Company, one of the biggest
and richest monopolies in the world and
it was supposed that his company would
back him literally with its money. It
turns out, however, that the corporation
has given no more this year to the Nc
kinley campaign fund than it gave four
years ago. And SO there is disappoint-
ment all around with General Greene Ia
New York there is much open talk about
the general being deposed as soon as this
campaign is wound up.

4 signiaeant s,tra,v.-A straw nn1l OF

Significant Straw--A straw poll of
The Pennsylvania Railroads Congress
sional Limited train was made between
Washington and New York last Friday.
The character OF the patrons OF this
train is of al unusually high standard in
point of wealth and influence. The train
is made up entirely OF parlor ears. and
fer the most part only men Of affairs
travel on it. There were about three
hundred men on the train when the poll
referred to was made. About a hundred
of these declined, for one cause and an
other. 10 express their preference for
President Eighty-three of them. how
ever. declared that they were for Bryan
while one hundred and twenty said they
were for Mckinley One CT the men who
made the poll aveTred that IN the last
campaign he had polied the same train
several times. and on no occasion cid
he ever get more than ten or twelve
Bryan votes. Many of the passengers
who on Friday declared themselves for
Bryan said that they had voted against
him in 1856 Several of these were Re
publicans, though the greater number
were avowed Gold Democrats. The sig
nificance of this straw ballot can
not be doubted. 1t shows not only that
the Gold Democrats are coming back TO
the party. but also that the percentage of
very greatly IS in Bryan's favor
Not a man among the more than hum
dred who voted for Mckinley in the straw
ballot referred to voted for Bryan four
years ago. Probably the most significant
feature of the whole occurrence here re-
lated was that one of the men who made
the poll telegraphed the result to Mr..
Hanna from New York. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Hanna has employed men to poll the
irst -class trains all over the country and
keep him informed by wire of the drift as
determined by this sort OF test. AS far
rs could be learned the poll of the Con
gressional Limited was not reported to
Senator Jones in Chicago or to ex-Gov-
ernor Stone in New York.

General Woodgate's force crossed

The Beers, who had been asleep, de-
camped, leaving everything behind,
and the British with a ringing cheer
climbed to the summit.
Then the Beers opened fire from sew
eral points, but it was apparent that
they had been taken completely by
surprise and their resistance was dis
spirited. The western crest of the hill
was soon won, and the infantry crept
along the top of the hill.
At daybreak the Beers, from a high
point on the extreme east, sent a with
ering fire among the British which mo-
mentarily staggered them. The Beers
had the ranges fixed to a nicely, and
their artillery sent several shells right
to the top of the crest, forcing the in

The British held the position against

A Hint TO Letter Writers.

The practice Of writing private let.
tiers from the first TO the third page Of
a letter sheet and then going back TO
the second page is a matter Of taste,
but It will not do TO follow that course
Of procedure in writing legal docu-
mcutS.
The New York courts have dIsallow-
ed the provisions Of q will written in
this way. The testator wrote the will
on three sides of folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and continu-
Ing on the third page, at the top OF
which was written second page" and
completing and signing the instrument
on a page marked third page" which.
in fact, was the second page OF the
sheet
The court held that the will was not
signed at the physical end. as required
by the statute. The law does not con-
template going backward in order TO
get forward. and the will was refused
probate. The New York court OF ap-
pealS sustained the decision throwing
out this form of will-Boston Herald.
