I senleu oy me CONAN Freight Trac-

organizations these men represented.
Haldane, from his one interview
with Gormly, had an idea that in this

Gormly and would rally about Gormly.

nothing whatsoever of the results Of
their interview to these assiduous
young men.
Gormly, however, was more amen
able to their appeals for an interview.
One resolution Gormly had taken; to
give the people the fullest informa-

posed. He was willing to discuss any
public question at any time with any
one, and he had no objections to his
opinions being quoted.

CHAPTER VIII

A QJtet Meeting Of the Diotators.
EARLY In the new year, at the in
stance Of Haldane. meeting of the
inner circle of the governing body,
popularity known as THE Ring" was
called at his private residence on up.
per Fifth avenue, which he very un-
obtrusively reoccupied for the occa-
sion. The meeting was held late at
might. The men summoned thereto
came up town quietly and unostenta-
tiously slipped into the house.
For many reasons Haldane's rela-
lion to the Sachem society was care
fully concealed. He represented q
distinct group of f1nanciers and bust
ness interests whose relations with
the party in power were most init
mate. These relations in some in
stances were suspected, but their &C.
tuality had not been allowed to trans
ORE. Haldane kept In constant touch
win Llney the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two were hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance,
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity of the situation, and had di-
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice would naturally be
sought on such subjects as he desired
to discuss. He had also assembled two
of the directors Of the Gotham Freight
Traction company, to wit, Van Slyke
and Mcdonald, men associated with
him upon whose judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
came Liffey, grand chief of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and undisputed boss of the party !;
Cornell, the chief of police; Ruther-
ford, the district attorney; Habber-
ley, the street commissioner; and last
and also least, Hon. Peter D. Warren,
mayor Of the city.
Liffey, as leader Of the Great
sachem society, controlled the or.
ganization absolutely. The chief of
police welded the vast powers for
graft of that remarkable organization.
The district attorney, through whose
hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve Of both
the Sachem society and that portion of
the people to which it looked for sup
port. The street commissioner, who
had at his disposal more appointments
than all the rest of the administration
put together, used them primarily for
the good of the party and after that
for cleaning the streets.
The mayor, the ostensible head but
really the servant of the quartet, was
there because of his Office, and he was
in office because he could be con-
trolled. From the point Of view OF
the men present, he was the best
mayor that New York had ever
had. He was a man Of some parts.
He could make brilliant speech, pre-
side gracefully and with dignity at
public meetings. and was altogether
an admirable figure to head a great
city in everything but morals.
Associated with these four intensely
practical men and this plant, willing
figurehead were the interests repre-

announcements of his candidacy. Most
of them had read them with amuse-
ment: only the most president with
any feeling of alarm, and even that
feeling was not sufficiently. deep to
have awakened any special degree OF
anxiety. Yet the fact that each one
had been summoned to Haldane's
house, the politicians through Liffey
and the 1nanciers through Haldane
himself, rather startled them.
The eight men assembled in the
spacious library of the Fifth Avenue
house. The curtains were discreetly
drawn. The men had arrived singly
and at different times. They were
admitted by Haldane's confidential
secretary in person. Cigars and
liquors were provided, and the eight,
from all sorts of differing social ranks,
mingled freely together on terms of
absolute equality.
The district attorney, for instance,
was graduate of Yale. Haldane him
self had come from Harvard. The
mayor was product of Columbia
Liffey had started in as a poor Irish
| immigrant. The chief of police had
been saloonkeeper and finally the
colonel Of National Guard regiment
Mcdonald was Scotsman whose
shrewdness and ability had won him
a high position among the financial
magnates. Van Slyke belonged to an
old Dutch family and had inherited
vast fortune, which his adroit man
agement had tremendously increased.
They represented American life with
its opportunities and its possibilities.
Gentlemen" began Haldane quietly,
II have called you here, as you have
doubtless surmised, because of the
announcement of the candidacy Of
George Gormly for mayor"
do you think it's of sufficient i'm
portance. Mr.. Haldane. for such an
unusual conference as this is?" asked
the boss.
Il certainly do, Liffey," was the 70
ply.
1T isn't the first time" said Ruth
erford, a man of exceptional ability
and great distinction of manner and
i bearing, that some impracticable re-
former has offered himself for popular
suffrage on such a platform"
But 1t Is the first time in my
recollection" returned Haldane, that
a man possessing the peculiar com
bination of business ability, unques
toned integrity, and unlimited money
has put himself forward, and I beg tc
assure you that consider him the
most available man from the point OF
view of the opposition that has ever
appeared on the political horizon"
II don't care cuss how available

; and we will. OF course, it'll take

He looked significantly at the trio
Of financiers.
"The amount of money that it takes
now" said Mcdonald grimly, "is some
thing terrific"
II should say so," added Van slyke
"Well, you get what you bargain
for. don't your" returned the boss
viciously. you get a free hand te

mayor.

Gilbert Family
Copyright by Mcclure syndicatey
By ELEANOR LEXINGTON

Mass. and Capt. Nathaniel Gfhert born in Cornwall who was living st MiddletoWn, Conn, in 1776
 By the middle of the seventeenth century, there were five pioneers of the name of Gilbert, living in. or nesr Hartford: John and Jonathan at Hartford Josiah at Wethersea,d. Obadiah at Fairfield: Thomas at Windsor. They were from Devon. and possibly brothers
 The bright particular star of tho Gilbert family is Sir Humphrey. who according to ifaokuyt, was the irsf of our nation that caused the people to erect an habtation and government in these countryes." Instead of seek. ing to discover mines and to amass wealth. as others who preceded him had done, he sought only to prose. cute effectually the full possession of these, so ample and pleasant conn. tries for the crown. and people of Eng. land"
 Sir Humphrey was the son of Otbo Gilbert, and by his mothers side he was half-brother to Sir Walter Ra. leigh. At court Sir Humphrey obtained the special favor of Queen Elizabeth. who granted him a patent to colonizs North America He married a daugh. ter of John Aucher. and through his wife became possessed of estates in Kent
 In Virginia and North and South Carolina, the Gilberts have lived prob. ably since the founding Of those states. and among the marriage con. neetions are the Lewises, Taylors and Hickmans, of Virginia, all of whom have war records The Balengers oR South Carolina are kin and the Ora hams of North Carolina-Gen.
