 Clellan Would Make Good Mayor.
 New York, Sept 24.-When the state ment made yesterday by Hugh Me- Laughlin, leader of the Kings county (Brooklyn) democracy, was shown to Charles k. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall. Mir Murphy made the fol- lowing statement:
 ''Mr Mclaughlin, whom I respect very much, is certainly entitled to an expression of his views. 1 would not, as an individual or as a representative of Tammany Hall, ever recommend the candidacy of any man who would stand for graft or any other kind of dishonesty.
 As have said before, Colonel Mo Clellan in my opinion is as strong q candidate as any of the gentlemen who have been mentioned up to the present time and if nominated and elected would fill the office of mayor to the satisfaction of the people of our city.
 There is no doubt in my mind that the convention will select a ticket that no democrat need hesitate to support"
 In the city democratic convention, which will nominate candidate for mayor, Tammany Hall will have mn- jority of the delegates, Manhattan and the Bronx having more votes than Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond com bined.

Bayfield's Library Site.

From Bayfield, Press. is true
that Andrew Carnegie, the multi
millionaire, the man who said, IT
want to die poor man." has do
mated $4,000 for the erection of a
free library building in this city,
and IL is also true that the library
board has agreed on site and that
the building will, ere lo2g, stand as
a monument to the memory of the
man whose name will go laundering
down through the ages.
The library board met last Satur-
day determined to make a final set
Element in the matter of site, and
in this they were successful. The
location picked out was one of three
mentioned and the only one without
serious drawback. The new Car
negie library building will be erect
ed on lots s, 9 and 10, ir block Is,
on the corner of Washington avenue
and Broad street, formerly occupied
by the Office of the late w. #.
Dalrymple. The consideration for
this site was $3.50, with a possible
chance of a rebate. The plars vii
be drawn at once and the erection oil
the building commenced soon there
after, The location is beautiful
one and meets the approval OF the
majority. The building will face
Broad street and command atten-
ton from far out on the bay.
The site selected by the library
board adds materially to the sugges-
tion made by the Press few weeks
ago that the raviLe at the head OF
Broad street be converted into a
park. This place, with the expendi-
ture Of small sum, could be made
the beauty spot Of the city. Do the
people want to see this $40. 200
structure standing at the gateway
of q yawning ravine? We think not.
Then work for the development of
the park movement.

It was not necessary for Mr..
Taylor SO to declare, as those who
know him recognize that he never
resigns an Office which has a fair
salary attached thereto. Mr.. Taylor
was originally appointed through
the influence of Senator Spooner,
who was his comrade IN early life,
and the Senator has carried him re-
peatedly from Office to office until
office-holding has become a part OF

Boat to Arrive.
THE ELPHICKE TAKES CARGO
This Big Boat Takes 335 900 Bushels from
the EfSvatOr.--Biggest Boat to Arrive
in This NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Steam
ers Come Into Port.

Navigation opened in Chequame-
gon Bay last Thursday at which time
the Steamer Gratwick arrived here
from Hancock, Michigan, where it
has been in winter quarters. The
Gratwick arrived here shortly after
twelve o'clock the previous night
and hauled into the elevator dock,
where it Was loaded during Thurs
day, taking cargo of 1875, 900 bushels
of grain.
The Steamer Elphicke arrived here
Saturday and was the attraction of
the day. This great steamer has a
length Of 460 feet, and is said to have
been the largest steamer that ever
came to this harbor. 1t was loaded
at the elevator, and during the day
was constantly swarmed with visit
Ors, who not only wanted to see one
of the first boats of the season, but
who also had a curiosity to visit
modern freighter with such tremend-
Gus capacity as the Elphicke. $685.
600 bushels were loaded into her
hold, and still the boat was not load
ed to its fullest capacity Owing
to the low water at the 800. J"
through which the boat had to pass
on her way down the lakes she could
not take any more of cargo as she
was down to the lowest water line
on her hull that would insure her
passage through the canal The
capacity of the boat was over 400, 600
bushels. The boat left here Sunday
morning.
The Steamer Phoenix also loaded
at the elevator, taking a cargo Of
100, 900 bushels out of here just be-
fore noon on Monday The differ
ence in sizes Of lake carrying freight
ers is shown in the loads carried by
the Phoenix, one of the small freight
ers and the Elphicke, which belongs
to the Dig class.
The Currie also loaded Monday
night at the elevator, carrying d
load of 225, 1000 bushels.
The Steamer Wilhelm which tied
up in Ashland last winter, took a.
partial cargo of lumber from the
Edward Hines Lumber Company's
dock the first of the week.
Ashland has had several boats at
their docks, but the ice has given
considerable trouble on that side of
the bay, and navigation may be said
to have opened week latter with
our neighbors than on this side of
the great pond
