Clock -Winder Is Familiar.

The assistance of the assistant secre-
tary of the treasury who arose to greet
the official clock winder thinking it
was Sir Julian Pauncefote, was by no
means unusual. A number of other
people amistook the clock winder. and
he went through life explaining away a
centuated by his deafness. When Mr..
Nanderlip became assistant secretary
of the treasury the clock winder push
ed uncelmoniously into his presence
one day. Regular visitors would have
sent in card or something of that
kind. and SO Mr.. Vanderlip assumed
that the gentleman must be one of un-
usual consequence, who was uShered
in by the attendants without the slight
est hesitation. Mr.. Vandelip told the
clock Winder that his face was ia
miliar. The gentleman. not quite I'M
Outstanding these words, nodded as
sent. Mr.. Vanderlip was still further
convinced of his importance, and pro-
ceeded to ascertain his callers business
by opening the conversation on the
state Of American finances in the event
of a foreign war. Mr.. Vanderlip was
not surprised when the gentleman
announced that he had come on bust
ness Hardly more so when he pulled
out key, saying: Il am the man that
winds your clock and you are right
in thinking my face familiar, because
you saw me doing it last Thursday"

UNUSUAL AND ENACTING.

The pledge resolution adopted 10y
the County Democratic Committee
is unusual and Objectionable for
several reasons:
First, because Of its exclusive
ness, which singles out State can
didatcs alone from whom to require
written pledges 1t is not only Il
reflection on the integrity Of the
candidates for State offices, but cX-
cludcs county and district candi-
dates from obllgating themselves
to support the nominees.
Second, it requires every candi.
date for n State office to give
II written pledge that be will
stump" the State for the ticket,
an exactiou that was never required
by any State nominating Convcn-
ton of any candidate, and which
no defeated candidate could afford
to do who might have other official
duties to perform or business en-
gagements that would prevent him
from spending all his time i'll such
work, which the "stumping" of the
State would require. 1t is asking
too much of any man.
Third, it is wholly superiluOus
andunnecessary. Every candidate,
when he submits his claims to Il
primary or convention of any party,
morally Obligates himself to sup
port the ticket, rs does every voter
who participates in such primary or
convention. That is the unwritten
law of all political parties, and it is
seldom violated.
Every candidate for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Governor so
far has publicly declared his vii.
lingness and intention to support
the ticket, and we have no doubt
that every candidate for every other
position has done or will do the
same. Whether he says it in words
or not. he says it by his actions
when he submits his claims before
the convention, and we believe
every one of them will carry out
this moral obligation.
