CANDIDATE FAGAH'S GREED
Not Satisfied With Three Terms But
Wants : Fourth Nothing Doing

Wants . Fourth Nothing Doing
There are always plenty of funny
stories when an election is at hand and
they hit both ways. Confusion of names
has given rise to one or two stories which
have caused some amusement. Among
those is one related by canvasser who
encountered venerable matron whose
husband and four sons had always voted
the Republican ticket:
"Of course said the canvasser, s'your
family will vote for Mr.. Fagan?"
"Indade they won't" she promptly re-
piled. Whats the matter wild the man?
Sure. hasn't he been three times Mayor
of Hoboken? What the divil does he
want coming to Jersey City for?'
Lawyer Michael !. Fagen. Of Greenville,
had funny experience few days ago
He boarded a Greenville car and as he
passed through many people saluted him,
called him by name, asked how the cam
paign was progressing, and talked poll
tics generally On the platform of the
car was group of men who at once
jumped to the conclusion that he was the
Republican candidate for Mayor and they
shouted, Whats the matter with Mark
Fagan?" Mr.. Pagan smiled and so did
his friends at the mistake. When the
car reached Greenville the leader of the
group stepped up to Mr.. Fagen and,
shaking his hand. said:--
Mr.. Pagan, glad to meet you. Now,
me and the boys are going to Bayonne
and we want a dollar or two for drinks
Sir ilaughtily exclaimed Mr.. Fagen,
II don't know you, and, what is more,
not one dollar of mine shall go into a
saloon for you. You've been drinking al
ready.
The gang were astounded and the.
leader reminded Mr. Fagen that he would
need their votes on election day. but
Mr.. Fasen waived him aside with a
freezing:
don't want yotr help on election
day; can do without you, and he
marched off, leaving very astounded.
disgusted and indignant lot of voters

Union No. lis, to which majority of
the striking artisans belonged.
The committee of the Council, which
consisted of Secretary William E. Ward
Jr., Treasurer Gallagher and ex-President
David Morrison, reported at last nights
meeting at Council Hall, No. II Hoboken
avenue, that it had visited the Mill Wood
Workers Union, whose representatives
were present to explain the relations of
their organization with Mr. Mcbride. The
men said, as foreman of the Barnes mill.

no way responsible

WILL PUT UP A HARD FIGHT.
Republican Party in Kentucky Pre-
pairing for Fall Election.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July s.-Republican politi-
clans returning recently from Kentucky re-
port that the Republicans Of the Bluegrass
State are preparing for great political bat
tie next fall over legislative candidates.
The United States senatorship is at stake,
for one thing, but more Important to the
party, locally. is the control Of the Legis-
lature for the redistricting Of the legisla-
tive and senatorial districts
1t is reported that the Republicans are
very much disheartened at the prospect for
the fall and that they propose to make one
Of the most vigorous campaisns Of recent
years. This view. Of course, is from Re-
publican sources and naturally bears some
Of the rose tint Of hope.
A very prominent kentuckian who was In
the city to-day, but who ooas not desire his
name used. stated that If the Republicans
STE daylight again for years to come. He
said the Democrats are determined to re-
district the State and Will do It along lines
more partisan than ever before attempted.
The natural opportunities for a thorough
gerrymanoer are good and the Democrats
may be counted upon to take advantage OF
them.
The congressional districts win also BIO
changed, he thought. althoush Kentucky
did not gam anything unoer the new ap-
port:onmenf act. He did not deem this OF
as much Importance. however, as the PROS
pect OF legislative redisrrdcttng.

to three-quarters of yesterdays fall. and, in
some cases. showing increases over yester-
days prices.
Sharp Rally in London.
The London market for American stocks
opened very weak on pressure Principally
from Berlin. There was. however, u marked
rally in the later trading tie improved
prices from New York, AID a generally firm
close. Consols had ser GUS decline of y
conversion OF 1855. but rallied before the
close. Money was a shade harder in Lon
don. hut was fairly pleptiful and formed
no fealure in the markets at various Con-
tinental centers
After a brief renewal of the heavy realiz-
ing OF Monday the market showed a better
tone IN all cerartments and rallied sharp
" The outlook on the rate situation in the
West was considered materially better and
there was less anxiety on the money situa-
ton than for some time past. The news Oh
the iator difficulty in United States Steel
was more hopeful and there was a general
feeling that the W. ak bulls had been shaken
Ing an active part in the movement to ad-
vance prices. 1t may safely be said that
there was general conviction that the

siders ridisu.ed the story of Il difference Of
opinion between the Hartman and Morgan
interests. There was heavy realizing in
Louisville early. especially as insiders did
not disguise their opinion that there would
DC no extra 01vfdend.
All the news bearing on spring wheat ia
Of the most favorable character, and it Is
difficult Ia see why injury to the corn crop
should seriously affect such stocks as
Union Pacific and st. Paul.
BuiIish on Steel Stocks.
Insiders undoubtedly bull;sh on the
steel stocks. and while there may b. some
difference of opinion as to the common
stock of this or any industrial company.
the. nature of the buying in steel preferred
indicates an undoubted investment in them.
London was heavy seller at the opening.
particularly In Louisville, Baltimore and
Ohio, and the steel stocks. but the foreign
element seemed to have regained confidence
iater.as there was substantial arbitrage buy
ing before the close of the London mar
ket. 1t Is probable that traders and specu-
lators have taken advantage in the last
two days Of a weak bull account to over
discount bad news.
The rally in prices continued practically
, up to the close in all departments and the
market showed signs of having been heavily
.versold. The official announcement that
Atchison had withdrawn the cut in rates
stimulated buying in the last hour Of the
day. Money was comparatively easy at 5
per cent, and the feeling on that score
considerably more tranquil.

In the Twentieth and Twenty-drst dis
tricts. which include Cleveland. the john

the Mclean men in the First and Second
districts, which include Cincinnati. But In
the rural districts the latter element got al
most everything. The controlling element
did not ride roughshod' over the minori-

The McLean-Kilbourne element. while un-
usually courteous. made no concessions.
The old State Committee met previous to
