VICTORY STARTS
RUMORS Of MANY CHANGES

Possibilities for appointment to Of

Federal and local positions are thus
far more talked about than talking
for themselves. Mr.. Waller for COVER.
ror is really the only one that has ad.
mitted willingness to take the posi-
ton for which he is mentioned, al
though Mr.. McCandIess only reserves
the condition Of party selection as the
one that will determine his candidacy
for the goyernorship.
Various names for offices are heard
en- the street which have never been
considered by leaders or the Demo.
cratic party, and some which have not
been suggested by the persons them
selves although these in some cases
may not be disposed to deny the soft
Impeachment. In the former category
is the name of DIR. ]. H. Raymond for
Governor, which several of the party
leaders seen this morning had not
heard mentioned. They say that he
had difference with the party two
years ago. after which he went to Eu.
rope and only lately returned.
The only man who has ayowed his
candidacy for the goyernorship," said
one OF the leading hustlers in the late
campaign, is Mr.. Waller. Link Nc

THEY GET CONSOLATION
EVEN IN DEFEAT

George F.. Renton, ex-Republican
candidate for senator was caller in
the Republican headqI ters this
morning. As usual. he walked in
broadly smiling and shook hands with
the ex-runners of the Republican par
ty.
Asked why he smiled. he said.
What's the use of worrying after the
defeat.
Yesterday morning, A. S. Kaleiopu
another senatorial candidate who
went down to defeat, visited the once
busy headquarters of the Republican
party. Naturally, he was disappoint,
ed because of his downfall on cleo
tion day. but added, however, that the
only consolation he had was that al
most the entire ticket has gone down
to defeat. He added that the poi.

Republican candidates this time.

CHAPTER x.

It was high noon when o'Rourke
drove up before the Palace of the
Governor-General. Weary, dusty and
travel-stained as he was, he hesitated
no instant about sending in his name
and requesting an interview with the
representative of Frances sovereign
power.
Disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment in the
shape of word that his excellency was
away. But the name OF O'Rourke was
one we'll and favorably known in tie
province. and secured him an invita-.
ton to ascend to the Governors office
and state his business-if he cared
to do SOTO the gubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted, and
a little later was seated in a broad,
low. cool room in the old Moorish
palace, the affable secretary a
young, lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him as to
his errand.
