NOMINEE NO. 1.

Mr.. Thomas E. Watson is the first real
Presidential nominee Of the season. While
others are chasing delegates from one end
of the country to the other, Mr.. Watson is
enabled to sit back in his rocking chair OH the
veranda Of his beautiful country home at
Thomson, Ca, and speculate upon divers and
sundry topics; all the while secure in the
knowledge that he alone of all the lot at this
time is genuine candidate, approved by
party Of recognized standing.
1t ism t at all probable that Mr.. Watson ex-
poets to get single electoral vote. Doubtless
he can see himself now bringing up the rear
in great shape next November We opine,
however, that he expects to get considerable
fun out Of the mix-up! Mr.. Watson thinks
he recognizes among the assets of both the big
parties a number of his old political gar
ments; garments, too, that he never willingly
cast aside Indeed, as Mr. Watson sits there
at home, far from the maddening crowds ig-
noble strife,' we suspect he harbors some
mild resentment toward the present owners
Of those clothes; resentment because the said
clothes we're "swiped," in the parlance of
the day, and passed from his possession
through ways that we're dark and tricks that
were vain!
There are some features Of this present-day
contest for the Presidency that will amuse
many people besides Mr.. Watson. Mr.. Wat
son is apt to dig up lot of old press COM
ment adverse to the "Pops" of 1896 and
thereabout, and contrast it with great deal
of orthodox political gospel Of this day; and
it s going to be funny reading rare, and
racy reading We know it, without ever
having seen the inside of the Hon. Tom s
large and studiously kept scrap-book. The
Populist candidate is an exceedingly wise
man; he is very annoying in argument-that
is, to the fellow holding down the anti-Wat-
son end Of the argument. Mr.. Watson has
been described as something of hornet in
debate. Some people dispute this; they in
cline to the opinion that he is whole nest
Of hornets.
Our idea is that the Hon. Tom will get
more fun and fewer votes out Of the forthcom-
ing Presidential campaign than any other
man running We invite him to come to
Washington and see his successful rival inaug-
urated next March, no matter which one of
the candidates that may be. Whichever way
the cat jumps, Mr. Watson will doubtless hold
title to original ownership in much of the
platform interviewer in the next inaugural ad-
dress-Washingto Herald, April 9, 1908.

WRECKED BY
EXTRA RAIL At
JUNCTION
North Bound Rutland Train
Yesterday Afternoon
ENGINEER HASTINGS HURT
Engine Of Train a Hoodoo and Has
Been In Frequent Wrecks During
Past -Four Years.

The Montreal day express, better
known here as the north bound flyer,
OF the Rutland railroad, which left
Troy at 2.10 o'clock yesterday after
noon for, Montreal. met with an acct
dent at Hoosick Junction, because of
the engine jumping the track. The
only person injured was Engineer Ed.
ward Hastings of Rutland, whose
wrist was sprained as he jumped.
The fireman, whose name is Du.
rand. had remarkable escape from
death. He stayed in the engine and
the injuries he received were about
equivalent to the scratches child
would get In berry patch. Railroad
men said 1t was ninety-nine to one
that under similar conditions again he
would be crushed to death
The accident was caused by the
wheels of the engine striking an open
rail. This is the rail that is worked
back and forth by the semaphons. so
as to switch trains on either one of
two different tracks. AT the Troy
Union station II was said that the
semaphone was operated at the pro
per time and just why the wheels
should have jumped the rails could
not be accounted for.
The engine carried with it the bag
gage car. both of which turned over
on their sides. Two wrecking crews,
one from Mechanicsville and one from
Deerfield were clearing away the
wreckage last night.
The wrecked train was made up of
an engine. baggage car, smoker and
Pullman car The train was No. S64
and the engine No. 2l0.
After the engine left the track the
train ran on for considerable dis
lance, the cars jolting and humping
each other. and there was great ex-
citement among the passengers, some
OF the women becoming hysterical
The crew besides the engineer and
| fireman, consisted OF Conductor Lee.
Rutland Mail Clerk d, NJ. Mccarthy
and a brakeman.
The engine No. 2l0 is known
among railroad men as the Jonah. Z"
In the last two or three years II has
been wrecked six times. Three times
| Hastings was the engineer in charge
and each time he was injured, once
so badly that his life was despaired of.
| Among the wrecks in which this en-
CINE played a leading part was one at
Shelburne when the engineer,
fireman, baggageman and brakeman
were killed. Then came wrecks of
No. 2l0 at Proctor, and Walloomsac,
but Hastings was not at the throt-
tie on any Of these occasions.
Two months after the Walloomsac
wreck. No. 2l0 with Hastings in
charge, was smashed to pieces in a
wreck at Albany and Hastings was so
badly injured internally. bruised and
sprained that for time 1t was feared
he could not recover, but he made a
plucky fight for life and after four
months was able to be out.
When he was strong enough to put
on his jumpers and take the throttle
again he once more took charge of
No. 210 Only few months later the
Jonah" engine was In wreck al
North Bennington and again Hartings
was injured. He was still suffering
some from the effect of those injuries
when the wreck at Hoosick Junction
occurred.
