Run Over the Cars.
IRnston Herald.l

The following story is told in Con-
cord, N. H., of ex-senator Chandler
whose defeat fer reelection was by
reason of his artagonism to the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad Company, es-
pecially on the matter of passes to
legislators, not electric railway fran
chises.
His son was defeated for alderman
in Concord last fall, after receiving the
republican nomination in a strong re-
publican district, by democrat, who
was a Boston & Maine conductor.
A friend, meeting the ex-senator in the
Eagle hotel, soon afterward, said to
him: Sorry to hear your son was
showed under the other day"
"You are misinformed," said the ex-
senator. "He was not showed under;
he was run over by the cars"
