The flnancier was hardened. His con-
science, while keenly alive in other
directions, in matters concerning poll

indurated. But what had been said
and what he had discussed that night
had sickened him.

"You Get the Barrel Open for es essary Expenses

OF the outs created great sensation.
1t was an evidence, which by and by
even the stupid could apprehend, that
Gormly literally meant what he said
when he declared that he was to be
an absolutely Independent candidate,
tied to no faction, bound by no party,
entirely free and unfettered.
The men who rallied to his support,
while as innocent as babes in the prac-
tical politics affected by Liffey and
Benson, were nevertheless men of
Astounding zeal, keen intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social set and circle
of the Haldanes. Gormly in one way
or another employed a vast number
of working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely
square" as they phrased it, but kind
and generous. They were organized
and started at work Immediately in
every direction. Before the enemy
realized it, ample time had been sc.
cured in every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was a
great auditorium in which free con-
certs, lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employees and
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be
completely cut off from the other
business. Every afternoon he assem-
bled in the auditorium the workers
and speakers, and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion of the issues, Of what was to be
said in the speeches of the night. of
the places to be covered. The man
showed genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing. He de-
veloped a power Of succinctly pre-
senting the facts, which in large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers.
Livingstone Haldane's example had
been followed by not a few young men
Of fortune and position. It became in
certain sense among q certain set

ready to print his business ADVERTISE
ments at the usual rates. Gormly
retaliated, of course, by withdrawing
all advertising of any sort from them,
and doubling the space he purchased
In the other papers. Naturally, there
fore, the press divided in two Sec
lions; those that were controlled by
the party in power, and those that
were favorable to the new candidate.
incidentally, nothing that he could
have said or done could have so in
creased the business of his store!
His business rivals and associates in
deed suggested, and the suggestion
was quickly seized upon by the ad-
mintstratton papers, that the whole
thing was a clever advertising dodge,
and that Gormly was simply using his
candidacy to boom his business. There
was no satisfactory answer to this
argument, which was one of the best
that could have been devised by the
opposition, and it was harped upon
Immensely, although their leader was
vigorously justified from this charge
by his army of fighters.
The expenses Of the campaign were
enormous. Not one cent was paid out
for bribery or for the purpose of in
f1uencing votes in any improper way:
but the hiring of halls, the payment
OF the expenses of meetings, organize
ton, transportation, printing, salaries,
and so on aggregated an extraordinary
sum. Even Gormly himself had not
realized how great these expenses
would be; but he paid them without
blenching: His resources were vast.

dacy all the accumulations and earn.

OF course, he would still have his

He still kept to his plan Of printing
every week sworn statements Of his

to do the same. The reason the so

It must not be supposed that the
opposition was idle; by no means.
Never had It's activities been so great.
its energies so manifestly put forth.
It had welcomed with Joy the news Of
the refusal Of Gormly to become the
candidate Of the minority party. LII
fey had at once decided In his own
mind that that settled the issue Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were of the same opinion. Haldane
alone, the wisest, shrewdest, and
ablest Of the group, was not con-.
WINGED. and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled it's
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party. in power to make a
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. It was hailed on one
side as an evidence of the fairness
Of the party in power and the Sachem
society, which many people imagined
needed no alliance Of that kind. It
was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party in power had moth
ing to conceal, since it admitted the
outs to it's councils, and that it was
sincerely DESTROYS of giving New York
a business administration In which all
factions and parties should be repre-
scented. There was truth in the con-
tention, too. The only faction or party
that, would not be represented by this
alliance would be the common people.
Wiser heads, however, realized that
altruistic methods were inconsistent
entirely with the real spirit of either
party and saw in the alliance a con-
fession of weakness. And the editorial
contingent of the Gormly papers
seized upon this idea and made the
most of it. In the beginning, Corn
ly's advertisements, including his po-
litical manifestos, had been printed
In every paper in the city. They were
paid for as other advertisements are
and why not? But the Sachem' So
ciety had put the screws on certain
journals which owed much to it's influ-
ence, and because Of this pressure
they had summarily refused any more
Of Gormly's unique proclamations.
