When Roscoe Conkling and Thomas c.
Platt broke with President Garfield and
resigned from the Senate Of the United
States. they expected vice-President Ches-
ter A. Arthur, who also hailed from New
York. 10 Join with them in attempting to
persuade the New York State Legislature
to re-elect them as Senators, as their
States endorsement OF their opposition
to President Garfield. General Arthur,
however. felt that he could not with pro
priety take any part in the attempt Of
the ex-Senators to seek vindicauon; in
fact he did not interfere in their behalf in
the slightest way, and so there began
the Conkling-Platt animosity towards the
Vice-President which was intensified after
General Arthur became President.
1t was intense political hatred Of his
old-time associate that caused Thomas C..
Plat. at the Chicago Republican national
convention of 1854. to support James G.
Blaine for the presidential nomination
though Blaine, also, was an old-time po-
litical enemy. Nevertheless between the
two. Platt preferred to see the nomination
go to Blaine, and because Of Platts sup
port and political cunning Blaine triumph
ed over Arthur.
\ Platt always contemplated with great
satisfaction the part he played in defeat
ing Arthur at Chicago. On the evening
OF the day that he brought about this de-
feat he was in great good humor, and he
did not hesitate to show it to the polit-
clans who crowded about him as he sat
upon one Of the benches In the lobby Of
the Grand Pacific Hotel
In the midst Of the congratulations
that were being showered upon him on
the successful outcome Of the big politics
that he had played, Senator Platt sud
denly spied General Howard Carroll of
New York city passing through the lobby.
For years General Carroll had been an
intimate personal and political friend Of
president Arthur's. Platt knew it, and
bo also knew that General Carroll was
greatly depressed by the defeat Of Arthur
IN the convention; nevertheless, Platt
hailed him. and the General walked over
TO where the "easy boss was holding
court.

Measure he was taking in his triumph
Iand in a voice loud enough for all to hear,

the career Of your elaborately dressed
friend In Washington"
There was no need for Platt TO specify
farther; everyone in the group knew OF
General Arthur's penchant for immaculate
dress. But as the Presidents friend stood
there. apparently alone in circle Of 20

himself to make reply, o voice close BY

It looks very much as if the town of Smyrna
would secure a fine federal building, as an appro-
praton for $4,000 for the purpose has been
recommended in Congress. The two Senators
and Congressman Heald have worked hard for
the new building for Smyrna, as they have done
for other Improvements in the state that come by

= CONSIDERABLE praise has been bestowed
- upon Mayor Gaynor, of New York Citv,
because of the record he has been making, but
some other officials of the new administration
have been overlooked. District-Attorney Whit
man. who was elected on the Fusion ticket, is
not creating much noise, but he has been doing
very efficient work as the successor to the loud
Jerome According to the books he has made
splendid record
More trials and convictions have marked the
first four months of his administration than took
place in the same period under Jerome or his
predecessors. For the first four months of this
year, as compared with last year, there were 7zo
trials to 45o Whitman secured 248 convictions
compared with ISo under Jerome Whitman's
percentage of convictions was s3 while Jerome's
was 30.
Most of the criminal cases were left over from
the term of Jerome, and the work Of prosecuting
was taken up principally by new men as only two
of the staff under Jerome were retained by his
successor. In homicide cases, the new District
Attorney has been especially successful in secur-
ing convictions.
Altogether the record of Mr. Whitman has
been excellent and fortunate is New York in hav-
ing a prosecutor who prefers attending to busi-
ness to hunting notoriety and popularity.

feel sure that 1t was as thorough as any

Very few people realize how much
work there was TO be done on the port
foios of the enumerators after they had
been turned In to us before they could
be mailed to Washington. For instance,
in the blank space reserved for the num-
Der of children, If there were none it was
necessary to write none There are many
other spaces of a similar nature that
have to be filed in. Many of the enumer-
ators failed to put the none and conse-
quently 1t was necessary to carefully
check each item of each sheet, which
made the work 1aborious and tiresome.

from Washington for some time yet, and
