Coler spent about $4,000 from his, own
pocket for the benefit of the city.
Coler made more money than any
other official. His salary of 5000 was
augmented in one year $4,000 by the
commission allowed the comptroller
from the state inheritance tax. Onthe
Vanderbilt and Smith estates alone he
received a small fortune. In 1901 he re-
ceived only his salary, for a law was
passed cutting off the allowance of one
per cent. to the comptroller for all
funds paid to the state from the trans.
fer tax.
OF the public doings, Of the young
candidate for governor much has been
said and written. There are other
characteristics, however, with which
even those who know himvery well are
not familiar. Forinstance, some of his
best friends don't know that he is a
horse fancier and that he has a string
of harness horses with arecord of blue
ribbons, at various county fairs. He
didn'tienterth them at the horse show for
fear it would be said. that he had turf
ambitions and that some might think
he was in the racing business, of which
he knows absolutely nothing. They
willstell you at the American horse ex-
change, however, that as horse-swap-
per Golfer can beat David Harum, and
judges at exhibitions in New Jersey
and on Long Island will attest to the
quality of Coler's colts.
Coler is also an art patron. He has
a fancy for discovering things and
has frequently been the first pnrchas-
er Of the works Of ambitious young
artists. The upper stories of his resi-
dence, No. pa Hancock street, Brook
Ign, r stocked with many valuable
paintings. He has offered this home
for sale and does not care to hang his
pictures until he fits up hissnew home.
He has also 9 library rarely equaledl
for unique volumes. He tries to attend
allfprivate book sales andis frequently
seen haunting the old-book stores. He
has q rare collectionsof the records of
old New York.
Coler's ideal statesman is Tilden.
He has OF his Office desk q volume OF.
Tilden's speeches all the time.
As an orator Coler has not made
much headway. He hasn't learned the
art Of thinking on his feet; in fact, he
is q slow thinker except on matters of
finance. He is impulsive and frequent-
lysimpetuons, but the composition of a
speech is apparently hard work for
him.

ist, Upton was considered good enough
to be offered a seat in parliament in the
nationalist interest. His generous
purse would have been welcomed. He
declined the invitation on the ground
that while he believed in home rule
within certain limitations, he could not
subscribe tosthe separatist policy.
Since the death of Mr.. Gladstone, Sir
Thomas political views have changed,
and, as he is an intimate friend of Lord
Rosebery, 1t is more than likely he will
enter parliament under the banner Of
that Statesman who has nearly all the
aristocratic- lady politicians-with
whom Sir Thomassis so popular-on his
side.

as lives has invited him to contest the
seat in the liberal interest, but there is
q conservative majority there which it
would be almost impossible to upset.
If Sir Thomas could have the choice he
would prefer q Scotch seat, and Glass
gov, where he laid the foundation Of
his huge business, would welcome him.

he will be soon in the house Of COM

guide, philosopher and friend, his
progress insreaching the upper house
should be neither slow nor hazardous.
