TOM HARRIS HEFE4 IED.
CoIoyed Liveryman Declares That
He Was "FKny1ammed. "

.Tom" Harris the rich colored liveryinah
who aspired to be Tax Receiver OF Larchinoh'
was beaten last night for the Republican nom
nation Moses Evans. baker, received o0
votes while Harris received only o4. Inc Gun
vention was held in the Manor Hail. WHICH was
crowded to the doors, while the street Iol
block was crowded with automobiles and otner
vehicles.
Quiet prevailed while the votes were oeiis
counted, and when the result was aiiiouoeu
every one looked at Harris who stood in the
centre of the room. with his hat tilted PACK on
his head and big perfecto between his teeth
Harris was dumfounded at the result he hao
spent several hundred dollars trying to make
himself solid with the voters of the town. When
Chairman Frank Hardy announced the result
look of disappointment came over the colored
mans face. He pulled his hat down over MS
eyes, and with his followers walked out OF the
hail On the way out he was asked If he
thought that he had received fair play on
yes" he replied The election was on the level
all right, but there has been lot of him-hain-
ming going the outside
Tom said that he would support his success
full opponent at the polls, but he did not seem
enthusiastic. The convention held from )
to o'clock The colored candidate went in i
big carryall. and with him was band of fol-
lowers, who sang his favorite song, parody on
Mr. Dooley When the carriages and auto
mobiles began arriving with the wealthy resi-
dents and yachtsmen the colored men met them
at the door of the convention hall and handed
them Toms ballots. Many of the voters had hur-
ried from the clubs and hotels in New York IN
evening dress to beat Harris. They greeted the
liverynan cordially, but Informed him that they
could not support him. Many of them said IN
Harris's presence that he was as fine colored
man as they ever knew, but that it would be
detrimental to the town to put him in ofhce, as
it would offend strong Southern sentiment
which exists among many of the summer resi-
dents Rich men not only went to the polls
themselves but they took their coachmen and
servants.
Harris. who had been campaigning all day.
pressed every vehicle in his livery stable into
service and had them securing the town for MS
supporters .
The convention indorsed the Democratic ticker
nominated two DAYS ago, which is made up OF
mittee of the yacht club, fo- village president;
Joseph Bird president of the Manhattan saw
ings Institution, for treasurer. and John X. Han
for trustee. r. G. Dewitt, the ticket agent at
the railroad station. nominated Moses Evans
for tax receiver, while T. John McCahiil, one
of the coored mans stanchest supporters
shouted Il nominate Tom Harris!
The election is to be held on March II, When
Mr.. Evans will be opposed by julius Gerlach'
a painter who was nominated on the Demo
cratic ticket.

Letter to Geo. W. BIodgett,
Randolph, Vermont,

Dear Sir: Here's What "wears longer
means.
d. T. McGown, Cooperstown, y. V,
built house in s. and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later, a neighbor built a
house and painted il lead and oil. The
neighbours house was repaInted twice in
the same time.
This looks as if the neighbor's house
was painted three times in eight or nine
years. and McGown's once in ten years.
We are not quite sure-we tell the tale as
10 comes to US.
Ii is enough to say that Devoe Lead and
Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and oil
alone. The reason is. white lead Is soft
and ehalks of; zinc is hard; and. when
thoroughly ground into the lead, prevents
its chalking and makes il more dura BILE
