dered to be down on time after this.

THE FOUNDER SAYS

The subject of conversation was joint
debates, and one Of the local politicians
told of joint debate which was held
in Rensselaer, during a heated national
campaign.
Aid Alph Mccoy, father of the man
who afterwards came to grief in the
wreck of the Rensselaer, bank, was a
rabid republican He was one of the
dyed in-the-woo variety. who was ex-
ceedingly "sot" in his adherence to re-
publican principles.
zone day he was challenged to a
joint debate by one of the leading
democratic politicians of the city and
he accepted the challenge. When the
evening for the debate came around old
Alph hired a band and started it around
the courthouse square.
He soon picked up large crowd of
his followers and took them to the hall
where the debate was to be held and
where they loudly cheered for Alph and
the republican party.
Alph was first to engage in the de-
bate He got on the platform and after
wildly swinging his arms for three
quarters of an hour he poured forth
some of theh ottest arguments he knew
in favor of the G. o. P.
After he had finished the sweat was
pouring from his brow and the audi
ence was wildly cheering his efforts,
when suddenly he surprised them by
saying. There is no use sticking
around here and listening to that old
fool: he hasn't anything to say any
way
So saying, old Alph started down
the center aisle towards the exit and
the whole audience followed pell NELL.
That ended the joint debate in his
| favor. and that meeting still calls
| forth a laugh from the old Rensselaer,
politicians when they hear the story
| of It.

Six special elections were held for
the selection of three senators and
three representatives. Managers of
both parties expected the districts to
divide politically as they divided two
years ago, but both sides were anxious
to make a showing in Delaware county,

option by townships and city wards
was clearly defined there. The demo-
Gratis were claiming today that the

duced to 1000. Roosevelt carried the
