How New York AssembIyman Secured
His Seat.
Much surprise was evineed when
the young millionaire Robert Win
throp Chanler defeated Major Francis
G. Landon in the race for the New
York assembly. The explanation may
be found in a story which seems to
indicate that Mr.. ChanIer either has
a good idea of practical politics or is
being guided by a veteran at the
game. Everything was going well with
Major LandOn's campaign, despite his
unpopular move in declaring against
the acceptance of Pullman passes
when Mr.. Chanler invested IS, 200 in q
prize bull, which he invited all Of the
farmers OF the district to call at his
place and view The ruralists went
into raptures over the bull, and when
they expressed a wish that they might
own such an animal Mr.. Chanler
promptly presented each with a card
giving him an interest These cards
were distributed without discrimina-
ton to all raisers Of cattle, and the
prize bull became the common prop
erty Of the county. Against this sort
Of competition Major LandOn's fight
was hopeless.
