satisfaction with John c. Wightman If there is, it must be with the whole board, for We have always been un. animous in our decisions.
 The real reason for the change can only be explained by the prince. Do not think for a minute that I have any personal feeling against MT. Harry Leonard. He is one of the best fellows on earth, but do object to the way John W. Wightman was used, in being given to understand that all were in favor of his re-elec- tion, and in not being told of the con- templated change, giving him the opportunity to withdraw in favor of the present candidate. This he was willing to do. I know of another commissioner who is perfectly willing to withdraw when the times comes, without any underhanded business, providing the county wishes to make a change. It takes Q good man to carry through a deal of this kind without burning his fingers. I am afraid that some fingers will show blisters at some future time, from the effect of such underhanded meth ods. believe if the choice was left to the people John G. Wightman would be reelected, but as said be. fore, the people do not count. They are seldom consulted in any of the changes that are of vital interest to them, and go right on placing in offioe men who work for their own personal gain and advancement. Iu- stead of those who believe in seeing the people receive what they are en- titled to.
 Keep it up, gentlemen, if you en- joy the results, but hereafter I intend to support the one whom believe to be the best man for the people, be he republican or democrat.

Moro Story of the Blood.

The legend of the flood as told by the Moros is as follows:
 ''When the forty days and nights o1 rain came No and his family got into a box. One pair of each sort of bird and beast also came in. Men who were busy with their ordinary occupa. tions and did not enter the box were overtaken by the flood.

No local polit cal matter has SC stirred up the politicians of Holland county for some years as the recent change in county commissioners, and echoes of the affair will be heard throughout the county for many g day. The people of the county had no doubt that John G. Wightman oi Stafford Springs would be named aE comm issioner to succeed himself. He had been a most faithful official, talk. ing much interest in the county affairs, and the nomination of R Fl Leonard of this city to succeed Com. missioner Wightman was certainly 8 shock" to the county.

every direction Before the enemy
realized it, ample time had been So
cured in every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was .
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 of 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 a 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 few young men
of fortune and position. 1t became in
certain sense among a certain set
the fashion to campaign for Gormly.
Automobiles of all sorts were avail
able for transporting speakers. and
classes and social distinctions were
wiped out in the greater issues in
volved. BY these methods what was
picturesquely described in the city pa
pers as a whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated.
1t must not be supposed that the
opposition was idle; by no means.
Never had its activities been SO great,
its energies SO manifestly put forth.
1t had welcomed with Joy the news OF
the refusal of Gormly to become the
candidate of the minority party. Idf
| 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
vinced, and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled its
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party in power to make g
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. 1t was hailed on one
side as an evidence Of the fairness
of the party in power and the Sachen
society, which many people imagined
needed no alliance of that kind.

Liffey, Habberley, and Conneu will
get their forces in line. And l think
that's ALL"
Not quite. Mr.. Haldane," said LII
fey.
What else?"
you'll git the barrel open for the
necessary expenses of the cam
paign?"
Quite So" said Haldane, dryly.
You may depend upon us to do what
is proper; eh, gentlemen"
Van Slyke and Mcdonald nodded.
i think we've done a pretty good
nights work." said the district attor-
ney, rising to his feet.
Don't go yet" said Haldane. I'VE
must nix up the slate first, and that
will be ALL"
1t was half-hour later when the
last one departed from the house.
Haldane was quite aware of the con-
dltions under which his fortune was
being increased and his power extend
ed. He had been brought in contact
with the naked reality Of the situa-
ton great many times; but 1t
seemed to him that never before had
1t presented itself in so hideous and
unattractive guise as on that night
The financier was hardened. His con.
science, while keenly alive in other
directions, In matters concerning poll
tics and the people was scared and
indurated. But what had been said
and what he had discussed that night
had sickened him.
Haldane felt quite lonely, quite old
as he sat there in the small hours OF
the morning, his cigar gone out
musing over the situation. He pulled
himself together at last. The battle
was not lost. The enemy had not won

while as innocent as babes in the prac-
tical politics affected by Liffey and
BENSON we're nevertheless men of
ahounding 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 vast number
nj working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely

was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party in power had moth
ing to conceal. since it admitted the
outs to its councils, and that 1t 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 we're 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 lnade 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.
They professed themselves entirely
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

Clement j. Driscoll, at a dinner in
New York, told a number of amusing
stories about his strenuous life as
commissioner of weights and meas
ures last year.
"A friend Of mine," said Mr.. Dris.
coll, noticed one morning that his
grocer looked very sad. What's the
matter, old MANI my friend asked
'okingly. The weights and measures
man hasn't been dropping in on you,

Yes, he has, snapped the grocer
But you don't really mean to say

you giving only fifteen ounces to the
pound?'
Worse than that groaned the
grocer. I've been giving seventeen. ."

Somebody else will get 1t, Of

and hold us up for anything that he
wants"
But it will be no good to anybody
else without what we've got" suggest
ed Van Slyke.
True; but we have got several hun
dred millions involved and can't adopt
a do-nothing policy. Probably ten
millions or even less will cover the
expenses required by rebuilding I'M
