ramifications we're many, whose lead
ers were men OF experience, was of
course thoroughly welI-known. !.
The conference between these lead
ers and Gormly was short, sharp, and
decisive. 1t took place In his own
business office. The deputation was
made up of a banker named Poole,
who had certain prominence in mu-
nicipal affairs through his connection
with the national committee of the
party to which he belonged, who
was brilliant financier, liberal Civ

position; Benson the real leader of
the party, the political boss so far
as the outs had anything to boss; and
Fitchett, an attorney as bright as he
was unprincipled, who aspired to po-
litical preferment hineself The
trio met Gormly in hiS business office.
Poole was the natural spokesman.

form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being infiamed

water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years.
without getting any better, and In fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
