MAYOR PAGAN.

There never breathed more deter.

politics ana lair heal for the people
than Mayor Marx Pagan, of Jersey City,
who WAS elected for his third term last
fall in the teeth Of both machines, and
with his hand openly turned against the
bosses. who had been trying to purchase
him for three years.
Lincoln Stetfens, in the January Me-
Clures. tells the strange story OF Marx
Fagan-how 4 poor boy, with little or no
education. he crew into an honest man,
and finally into that very unusual phe-
nonenon. an honest politician.
This story from Mr.. Steffens is more
dramatic than fiction, and stranger. 1t
is full o.. mystery. Pagan IS man OF
moderate ability, AMI yet he did his
work WITH unusual persistence and SAN

which had been holding over his head to
keep him from using my name and poster
