of the election of anti-Parsons Hughes
delegates to the national convention. Replying to

Parsons says the issue Is the state committee
Each committeeman is elected by delegates
in the state convention, who elected in one
hundred election districts separate and distinct
tickets. When Parsons says that these delegates
he trusted elect any but q wicked man.
he follows his customary policy of slandering the
whole Republican party, only himself. The
state committeeman from his district is Henry
L. O'Brien. q man unknown for service to the peo-
pie or to the party. Mr.. Parsons represents but
small part of the state Narrowed down the issue
he makes is the election of Henry f. O Brien.
It is safe to say that the friends OF Hughes have
little time to waste that issue.

years the Senate to-day passed the bill of the Sen

of men and women school teachers in New York
City The vote was 35 to 10. which compares
closely with the vote by which the bill was passed

contrasts strongly with It's original passage when
1t had only one vote against 1t. that Of Senator

member who has voted against the bill on all three
occasions
In a general way the vote to-day was similar to

changes Senators Agnew and SAKE. of New York,
and Dunn. of Rochester, who did not vote a year
ago. to-day opposed the BILL On the other hand.
Senator Mccall, who last year sustained the May

changes of position, Senator Travis, of Brooklyn.
to-day opposing the bill and making the most ex-
tended speech against it. while last year he voted to
pass the bill over the Mayors Veto Senator Owens
did the opposite, to-day supporting the bill, while a
year ago he against It.
The debate occupied entire session of the
Senate. Senators Grady and White spoke for the
bill and Senator's Fuller. Travis and Hnman against
it. Senator Grady made the ctrvalric speech of
