MCiRTY SEES .M'LAIGHLIN.
stayed on His stock Farm All Through
the Recent Campaign.

Ex-senator John McCarty of Brooklyn
was one Of the visitors az the Willoughby
street auction room yesterday. and he had
a long confab with Hugh Mclaughlin.
This il his first trip To Brooklyn from his
stock farm at Goshen in several months.
In the recent campaign he was entirely
inactive, not even coming To town Ia
register,
II is thought that the rumpus in the Kings
county organization between the Hill
and anti.hi partisans, headed by Mr.
Mclaughlin and Senator =. H. McCarren,
respectively, was the cause of his mission
tothe auction room yesterday. For twenty
years ex-senator McCarty has been one
of MIR. McLaughlin'- most trusted lieu
tenants but In this crisis, he will line up
Il is said, with the anti-Hill element. Mr.
Mclaughlin said yesterday that he had
received no notification that Hill was com
ing down from Albany Tomorrow or next
day to confer with him. and he believed
the report was erroneous.

A Big Honth

The month OF October was busy
one in the Clerks Office of this county.
in TACT the work and receipts were the
largest OF any month in the history
of the county.
257 instruments, including deeds,
mortgages and mining notices were
recorded, which brought in as fees
S25o.45. To this may also be added
$l1.2j as fees for marriage licens, S
and S44 as circuit court fees. making
the toral receipts of the Office for the
month amount to $3l370. In add.
tion to the work entailed in the re-
cording and keeping the accounts of
the county, there was II session of the
county court, a session of circuit
court, the board of equalization and
the extending of the delinquent tax
roll. Three men have heen "up to
their ears" in work in this Office dur.
ing almost the entire month, and the
receipts have been such us to almost
pay the salaries of all the county
officers for the month.
1t is becoming evident that pro.
vision must be made for the election
of county recorder or that provision
must be made for more help in the
Clerks office. A county officer earn
every cent OF the salary allowed him
and should not be compelled to diyid
it with deputys he must hire to keel
up with thd work.
