the ring by making a perseyering ef1ort
70 adorR that statesman with a suit OF
stripes. Salter, the ballot box suffer,
was in Mexico with his ear to the
ground, waiting TO be told when he
could come back and be tried 1t was
painfully evident that Salter must re-
main an exile until Rothermel had
been got out of the Office.
RothcTmel was renominated by a
town meeting The ring did not dare
nominate one Of its heelers, and Vet
must have a man who would do its bid
ding Francis skunk Brown recon-
mended Weaver Nobody knew who he
was, and there was no danger of any
one saying anything against him. Dur
ham had never seen him. never heard
OF him. WHO is Weaver became the
rallying cry Of the independents. Roth
ermel was defeated. WeaFer's majority
was 1900.
Durham did not make many demands
on Weaver, and the few he did make
were granted When he was nominated
for mayor in 1903 the ring did not ex-
pect any trouble with him. But the de
mands made on the mayor were differ
ent from those made on the district at
torney. The man with the square jaw
found himself a puppet, not one act of
whose official life was dictated by him
self. He grew FESTIVE almost imme-
diately, and as time went on his chains
grew uncomfortable TO him. There was
an audible clank and rattle Of them
every time he signed his name by Dur
hams orders TO an official paper. Now
he has beaten Durham down to his
knees. He has done ii not alone by re-
voting, but By revolving at precisely
the right time and striking just the
blows that 90 10 the solar plexus. The
ring hates him as bitterly as ever, but
