So slow they go, So slow. So slow.
The hours of waiting and of woe.
When we must toll till set of sun
1t IS SO long ere day Is done.
The hours OF darkness feebly grope
Toward morning when, untouched by
hope,
The pendulum swings to and fro.
SO slow theE go. So slow. So slow
So swift they shift! So swift. So swift
The hours when pleasures gaiiy drift
!Adown the sun-kissed Stream of time,
With slken sails of love and rhyme.
These are the truest and the best
Worth all the rigors of the test
Tut vanished like an elfin gift.
So swift they SHIFT. So swift! So swift.

The fact that Mr.. Cunneen was the
nominee of the Prohibitiohists does not
necessarily mean that he has affiliated
with or is beloved of that party. In fact,
it is claimed that this rather peculiar
alliance of Democrats and Prohibitionists
was from nothing more than a plain
business proposition. Several years ago
C. A. Hart a Nassau-street lawyer, ran
on the Prohibition ticket for Justice OF
the Supreme Court in Brooklyn district.
Mr.. Hart claimed that he was elected,
but the State Board of Canvassers de-
cided against him.
Mr. Hart took the matter to court, and
has repeatedly endeavored to get the At
torney General to sign quo warranto pa
pcrs in a mandamus suit to compel the
Canvassing Board to certify to his cleo
ton. This Attorney General Davies re-
fused to do and Mr.. Hart then secured
the endorsement of Mr.. Cunneen by the
Prohibition party, with the hope that II
elected he would take up his tiart s.
suit for the Judgeship. 1t is denied tina;
Mr.. Cunneen promised any aid IN the
Hart case, but certain is it that the new
Attorney Generals election is due to the
prohibition vote.
