The skirt is of dark black worsted

through its leaders declared that it in

the details and minutiae OF political
campaigning, about which he was sup

pose Of this political party, whose In
duence was considerable and whose
ramiffcations were many, whose lead
ers were men of experience, was Of
course thoroughly well-known.
The conference between these lead
ers and Gormly was short, sharp, and
decisive. It took place in his own

made up Of . banker named Poole.

was brilliant flnancier, a liberal Civ

the party. the political boss SO far
