bitter and determined attack upon
their franchises and upon their meth
DDS. They knew, of course, that they
held the aldermen in their hands;
that IN their close alliance with the
Sachem society, the organization that
ran things, they could pass anything
they wanted in defiance of any public
sentiment whatsoever
Gormly had made one blunder; but
like a brilliant soldier he had sue
ceeded In turning II TO his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded by
another The Gotham Freight Trac-
tion company was made the subject OF
scathing criticism and bitter attack
Of which the Sachem society and the
party In power came In for a large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about IL.
In previous campaigns the party out
Of power had been led by a series Of
forlorn hopes, men enthusiastic in
their devotion to the cause OF reform
and not noted for much Of anything
else. The leaders OF the outs took no
tice OF Gormly. Inquiries began TO
be made about him; his business
methods were investigated; his re-
sources were discussed; his character
was analysed; his career made the
subject OF study. From being merely
a name attached to familiar institu-
ton, he became within one month one
OF the great personalities Of New
York. The situation was intoxicating
Incidentally, he did not lose in the
estimation Of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation Of himself, which he had
so cleverly managed that no one
dreamed IL was due to his own motion.
Even in those exclusive circles in
which Miss Haldane moved, which are
ordinarily Indifferent to any happen
ings on this side Of the terrestrial
sphere. some account OF Gormly and
his doings, penetrated. That he was
rich and a bachelor were the most in
terestins facts which appealed 10 this
set Men and women there began 70
inquire az TO who he was. IL was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure to
enlighten them so far az she could,
without betrsying the nature of their
confidential relation.
There were several papers on the
side OF the administration. which were
owned and controlled by the party in
power, that would have been glad
indeed TO have discredited Gormly;
but the closest scrutiny revealed moth
ing IN bis life that could be used for
that purpose. Where be had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter Of century at least his
course had been traced with consid-
erable accuracy. and indeed there was
little OF II that was not discovered
and disclosed 10 the eager public. He
was quite willing 10 talk about the
Gotham Freight Traction company or
any matter Of public moment. but for
the rest be was unshakably silent His
early past. therefore. was a mystery;
but the interest in A mystery that las
no special bearing upon the present
soon dies out
Then Gormly did an unusual thing
for him. He purchased a country

no mention IN the public press. be

deception,
 The progressive republicans will be 1 just as eager to expose any attempted juggling. They want honest revision, but they do not go as far as the demo- crats. They want reasonable" protec- ton for the home manufacturers. They will fight for this, but in doing so will play into the hands of the democrats in exposing the tricks of those republicans who are still and always will be for un- reasonably high protection for the man ufacturer.
 Everybody smiles when Penrose,
 Shoot. Payne and the other leaders de- clare for honest revision of the tariff. These men smile themselves when they make the declaration. The people know that they are not sincere. a But they have put on the best face possible and make announcement that they have accepted the challenge of the democrats on the tariff as the is sue for the coming campaign. They lay claim to the leadership in honest re- vision and are calling to the democrats to come on." The situation Is really amusing. The idea of the republicans assuming to take the leadership in hon. est tariff revision at this late day after they have toyed with the patience of the people and doled out deception wrapped in the tissue of promise is almost convulsive.
 But the fight is on. The republicans tried to sidestep the issue, but they have been forced to accept. That they assume to take the lead will make no material difference in the end. It will only increase the fierceness of the con flict and add ginger to the fireworks.

The Alabama City council has ap
 pointed committee to confer with the water committee of the Gadsden council in reference to making a con tract for Gadsden to furnish water to Alabama City from the new municipal water plant. This matter was under advisement some time ago, but was finally dropped when Alabama City made arrangements to supply herself from springs near Gadsden. But it seems that the supply is not what was anticipated and the mill village is again anxious to secure a supply from the local plant. A conference over the proposition will soon be held and it is more than probable that a satisfac- tory contract can be made as the Gads- den. plant is ample in capacity to sup
 ply all the people ol. both cities for
