wEISER BRIDGE ALL RIGHT.

The decision of the supreme court
that the writ of prohibition petition
ed by Edward Stein, through his at
torney Elk Chief Justice Quarles, to
restrain the state board from issuing
certain bonds authorized by the
legislature will not restrain, sets al
rest the matter of the state appro-
pration for the construction of the
Weiser bridge. The validity of the
sugar bounty bill is not touched upon
by the decision. The court holds
that the biennial appropriations do
not constitute a debt within the
meaning of the constitutional pro.
vision limiting the amount of debt
that may be created. Work on the
construction of the bridge will pro.
badly be resumed shortly, and com
pleted as rapidly US possible.

home, even when in Texas, Mr.. Min
ton left papers of no description be-
hind wherever he visited that would
tell any kind of a tale. He carried
a small travelling bag that had seen
no little service. Though he some
times handled that bag as if it was
filled with soiled linen, and often tossed
it underneath the bed in his room at
hotel or lodging house, he never per-
mitted the bag to get much out OF
his reach. That bag, on one occa-
sion, contained close to $4,000 Never
while it was being carried over the
country by Mr.. Minton did it contain
less than $4,000 of moneys belong
ing to Mr.. Belmont and his friends.
What was necessary for state or dis
trict was turned over in cash to the
proper Democratic authorities by Mr..
Minton, who had to account to no
man as to where the money had gone,
or in what manner he spent it. Up
to June 1 Mr.. Minton had expended
600, another $4,000 still another $685.
0OO and yet another had $4,000 set
aside as its portion. Ohio and In
diana, which are among the states
visited by Mr.. Minton, Jared very well
in this respect, though nothing like
the sums here mentioned were ex-
pended among the Democrats of either
the Buckeye or the Hoosier state. OF
more money than did any other state.
This was necessary because it was
known that Leader Charles F. Muir
ply, of the Tammany organization.
had engaged in some undertakings
that were intended to benefit Mr..
Murphy and his organization more
than they could the national Demo-
Gratis. It was considered remarkable
by Mr. Minton's little band of Satur-
day night friends how easily he in
variably accomplished his mission
whenever he set forth from home.
Before leaving Flatbush to visit any
state he outlined his plans to them.
On every occasion, owing to their
knowledge of inside facts" they
could see from press reports in the
newspapers that Mr.. Minton's plans
had prevailed. no matter what the
state. Som etimes his undertaking was
considered impossible, as, for instance,
New Jersey. Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana
and even in New York state.
In His Travels.
In his travels Mr.. Minton never.
signed his name to a telegram He in
dulged in no other way of correspond
ing save that furnished by the tele-
graph wires. His name has scarcely
transactions by which the Parker ma
chfnery was constructed. -'Flatbush'
was a signature he used at all times.
So heavy became the telegraph ser
vice to ..Flatbush" that curiosity was
excited in certain circles about New
the telegraph management at Flat
bush was there because it could be
depended upon not to betray conf
dence. In consequence there went
for nothing the well directed and per-
sistent efforts to learn what was meant
by the telegraph messages, themselves

wording, and who "Flatbush' could
be. So many were the kilograms on
Sunday, June 10, when Mr.. Belmont
spent most all day at Flatbush, that
Mr.. Minton was constrained late that
night to request the management at
the main offices of the Western Union
and the Postal Telegraph companies
in New York City to not permit any
further transmiSsions until next day,
when more than 1000 messages await
ed "F1atbush's" attention.

nor any of the others who for one

to secure the presidential nomination
in the slightest degree suspected that
there was any kind of an organized
effort in Parker's behalf. Still less

that-was on tap.
n Railway King.
Thomas F. Ryan, the railway king,
and his friends, including Leader Muir
ply. of Tammany, ran up against it
in Virginia early last month. Fora
time it looked as though they would
learn just what they were up against
Mr.. Minton and his friends feared
they would make the discovery and
lay bare their secret. Mr.. Minton was
in Virginia at the time. He and his
secret should not be learned, as for the
opponents of Judge Parker to know
the game being played might have
made it possible for a checkmating of
the plays not only in the Old Domin-
ion state, but in other states and To-
calities. Mr.. Minton had had every
thing arranged for instructions for
Parker when Mr.. Ryan and his friends
came along. Virginia is Mr.. Ryan's
home Though headquarters of his
extensive business ventures are in New
York he calls Virginia home. He has
done much for his native state and
it's people, with whom heretofore he
had been all powerful. There has
been a story trickling along through
political channels for several months
that a deal has existed between Mr.
Murphy and certain of Mr.. Roosevelt's
political friends by which the Tam
many organization would not rend the
linen of its leaders in a trial to en-
compass Roosevelt's defeat at the
polls. Hints even went so far as that
Mr.. Murphy had pledged himself to
strive for a weak man to be pitted
against Roosevelt. Roosevelt, as gov
ernor of New York nor as police COM
sought to in5ure Tammany. 1t is
claimed that it was on this account
that Tammany sent emissaries into
Indiana, Ohio and in the other states
to buck against Parker sentiment os-
tensibly in the interest of Mayor
George B. Mcclellan This, it is also
said was the reason for a represen-
tative of Mr.. Murphy showing his
hand in Virginia, which it was thought
would be easy of capture. Imagine
the surprise of Mr.. Ryan and Mr..
Murphy's man when they met with
very decided sentiment for Parker
among the state convention OF dele

gates and their allies at Virginia's cap
ital. They set out to prevent the
adoption of any resolution instructing
for Parker. The contest became very
hot and the discovery referred to
threatened when Mr.. Minton changed
his tactics. He advised the selection
of men known to be friendly to Par
ker and also that no attempt be made
to force Instructions. This is the in
side history of an event of last month
that has since puzzled many men or
politics. So certain was it that a
resolution inStructing for Parker could
have been adopted by the Virginia
state convention that most every east
ern newspaper announced that one
had been adopted 1t was due alone
to the quick change of front on the
part of Maurice M. Minton, who feared
developments in a prolonged contest
that the Virginia delegates came to
the st Louis convention not instructed
for Parker.
Due to Belmont.
1t was due largely to Mr.. Belmont
that former Senator Hill and his New
York state machine became enlisted
with the Parker forces headed by Mr..
Minton. That and Mr.. Hills dislike

efforts of Mr.. Belmont, also, to a great
extent, that State Senator Patrick H.

became an outSpoken adherent OF
Judge Parker, by which he gained the
enmity of Leader Murphy, who has
threatened his political existence, very
much, it might added, to Senator Nc
CarrenS amusement and also to the
amusement of men who know things
and who have been in st. Louis this
last week. Senator McCarren and Mr..
Belmont had known each other long
and well. When 1t came to the SEN
ator opposing Hugh Mclaughlin for
the leadership in Brooklyn, Mr.. Bel
mont was not inclined to take a hand.
Mr. Mclaughlin had been so long
leader, and was so well intrenched,
that the task of ousting him from
the chieftainship appeared a hopeless
one. Mr. Minton did not view mat
tiers in the same light In that con-
test Senator McCarren had the sup
port of Tammany. He is a politician
with good support he could wrest the
honors from Mr. Mclaughlin. Mr..
Minton thought so, too, as did others.
and impressed his views upon Mr.. Bel
mont, and upon other men of fnflu-
ence to such an extent as to cause
them to lend Senator McCarren a
helping hand. Mr.. Mclaughlin was

There was one little crowd, how
ever, most of the members of which
knew pretty much all about Mr.. Min
tons plans. and they were also kept
well posted as to the progress of those
plans. They were about the only adj
visors, to tell the plain truth, that
Maurice NJ. Minton had. This bunch
of good fellows Mr. Minton usually
conferred with on Saturday night.
These advisors and chumS number
as good a set of fellows as ever sat
in a friendly game of draw poker
men of very great Importance in the
world of accomplishments and whom
ii is a delight to know They are
men who do things in the great crowd
of America For four or five years
they had met each Saturday night at
poker. The chances are they will
continue meeting as usual each sue
ceeding Saturday night so long as time
continues for them
1t is a modest game of 25 cents linn
it, to lose that distresses none of the
sportively inclined gentlemen about
the board, nor breaks nor makes any
of them Mr.. Minton usually acts as
banker. AS to political belief the par
ty is a little more than half Repub-
lican. though they are all close friends
and each one would go a long dis
lance for the other. At least three
of the men in the group have had
to do considerable with politics in a
most important way One is said to
have been a mayor of a very inportant
cally in Ohio Politics is one of the
subjects that has been most frequently
discussed at these meetings each Sat
urday night. 1t was never noticed
that Mr.. Minton appeared much in
terested in these political chats. On
