the list of enrolled Republicans the district the
name of Stephen j. Dufy, the ground that
when he enrolled Duffy made misstatement when
he declared that he had not enrolled with any
other party since the first day OF last year.

as Democrat in 1896 Justice Platzek. however.

banker, capitalist and former congress
man, S. V. White, chairman of the day.
The monument has cost about 100000
and this sum was provided in part by
popular subscription, In part by contri-
buttons from the city and state of New
York and In part by an appropriation
from the national treasury. The bill
authorizing a national appropriation
was introduced by Mayor George Il.
