chased the Gloversville Morning Herald
heretofore Democratic, and will run it as
an independent Republican newspaper. 1t
comes ont with a leading editorial in to-
davis issue headed The Passing OF the
Boss" On this subject the Herald says;
Fulton county even has caught the
spirit OF the hour and the cloud hat a short
time since was no larger than a mans hand
Is rolling up in menacing blackness. Fulton
county bosses have the characteristic
of their kind the whole world over. and all
indications point to a time OF reckoning
soon TO overthrow them"
Col Knox has for some time been OPP
posed to the political machine Of Fulton
county. and now that he has bought a news
naner Il is expected that he will make a
more determined eifort than ever to down
the %political bosses Of his county, which
include Representative Littauer and Post
master Cyrus Durry, the latter being Lit
tauer's nominee for Congress. That Col
Knox will win out in his light against POI

in France. and he arrived in Paris.
Then we thought more seriously OF the
race and as he wished to take my place
we pure hased a second hand balloon.
Charles Levfe, who was in this country
earlv IN the year, was to make the ascension
with my son, but to this the Aero Club OF

the purpose Of election advertising.
Clarence j. Shearn, IL is understood,
will make the argument. He will contend
that as the three papers named are the
only newspapers in the city supporting Mr.!
Hearst, the nominee Of the Democratic
party, they are the only real Democratic
papers in the town. IL is not known what
argument the Board Of Elections will have
to the contrary,
The reason for the special session on Satur-

the period within which the Board Of Elec-

Mr.. Hearst, his friends continued, also

MIppLETowN, N. Y, Oct. 5.-The conven-'

this CITY this afternoon, was marked by
two interesting events, the return OF ex-
Gov r. B. Odell, Jr., into Orange county
Dolitics after an absence of many years
and the presence in the convention as a
delegate of Harvey Alexander OF Little
Rritain. Mr.. Alexander is 81 years old
and helped to form the Republican party,
having been a delegate at nearly every
convention since. The aged delegate sat
on the platform with Odeil.
Much comment has been caused by OdeI's
reappearance in Orange county conventions
and il is believed that he is trying to regain
his lost popularity in his home county.
