Editor The Washington Herald:
Referring to the paragraph in your
issue of Wednesday to the effect that
two men employed in the Recorder of
Deeds Office became involved in an alter
cation in that Office yesterday, as the
result Of which one became eligible for
hospital treatment l would thank you
very much to as publicly say that with
two xceptions-neither Of the parties ever
having been an employee of the Recorder
OF Deeds Office, and the alleged alterca-
ton not having taken place in that office
the paragraph was otherwise correct.

The DTydenites' Second Choice.
1t cannot be said that the republic
can members of the New Jersey leg
islature have lived up to their oppor-
tunity in electing State Treasurer
Frank o. Briggs to the United States
senate. They have not done their
worst; they might have selected State
Assessor David Baird, of Camden,
for instance. But the substitution
of Briggs for Dryden seems. at the
most, to be negative gain. Mr..
Briggs is chairman of the Republican
State COMMITTEES, which is notorious
ly controlled by the sinister infiu
ences that have produced the Dry
dens and the Keans. In the two
years war waged by the independent
republicans against machine domina-
ton the state treasurer and state
chairman has stood unwaveringly on
the side of the bosses. He has been
a steadfast advocate and supporter
of the Dryden candidacy. and it has
been an open secret that the state
treasurer was the second choice of
the Prudential-Public Service contin-
gent.

The revenge of the men who were
disappointed by the defeat of Dryden
was the election of Briggs. IL they
could not have King Stork they would
have King Log. Two of the eight
who had prevented the caucus elec-
ton, Messrs. Ackerman and Colby,
stood out to the end for the election
of a statesman to the Office, but the
remainder, exhausted by their prev
ious struggle, submitted.
Mr.. Briggs was described last week
in these columns as faithful, dull,
handsome. He Is fine figure of a
man" and has been a figurehead al
ways; he lacks knowledge of public
affairs, and he is fiaccid In mind. He
is as respectable as Mr.. Turveydrop
himself, and in the senate will be one
of those votes described as ct ceteras
We place no credence in the talk OF
his being the instrument of great
financial interests. He is O creature
of luck, who earned the gratitude OF
the machine men by his fidelity tC
Mr.. Dryden, and they had desire t6
elect such a man in order that they
should be able to say that the victory
for independence was not SO very big
dlltT dll.
Reforms come slowly, and the
power of a great political machine is
too deeply entrenched to be over
come in one fight. The issue at stake
had been the reelection of Mr.. Dry
den, who was representative of the
corporation influence in legislation.
His defeat will make the corporations
more careful about interfering with
legislation. BY and by, we Jersey
men will rise to something better and
elect our best men as senators. But
we are slow in improvements. The
precedents are too long established
to be upset easily. There has been
progress and let us be content with
what has been gained.
The course of Senator Colby in the
contest has been creditable through
out. He voted for the best-equipped
of all the candidates presented, JUS
tice Pitney, and he fought not only
against the corporation influence. but
for the best interests of the state. He
has been constantly assailed, misrep-
resented and hated, and has kept his
temper. With him and deserving the
admiration and thanks of his Union
county constituents, as well as of the
state in general, has been Senator
