Again the uthUr puts up ~ sorry
mouth and asks, "Whv make nine
wards instead of three. I've pre-
sumo he meant five. We would re-
spectfully ask, has he heard any
complaint from the various sections
that have been given a ward rather
than being tied to a Jennings, Welsh
or Lake Arthur ward?
And finally he asks. "Whv make
conditions so hard that composition
is nearly impo ssible? Why require u
bond If $4,000 to keep the parish Of
fcals in offices and furniture for
three years? WHY bond of $40, Geo
to make good title to lots, value fee
gift up to 5000? Why support Of.
, fees and furniture three years."
Ia this connection We are glad to
! be able to allay the geut.smau's fears
in regard to conditions being So hard
that competition is nearly impossible.
We are glad to be able to assure him
that despite the hard conditions, Of
which none of the prospective candt-
dates for parish seat hon ors have
complained except Jennings, there
will he sufficient competi tton in the
coming contest to furnish all the spice
Jennings will need for somo tim, to
come.
Now Mr.. Voter we would ask IN all
candor, i, Jennings, as represented in
the article discussed above, putting up
any reasonable argument to convince
YOU that she is Untitled to your support
for the parish seat, or that Welsh is
not entitled to your support for the
same, or is she simply PLAYING the
bawl-babv because she sees the gilded
bubble of political supremacy whicn
she has been chasing for the past SIX
teen years finally passing from her
view AID returning to the voters, the
men who have aud are making this
,ountrv. to whom all power rigbtfully
belongs.

suit brought by John L. Reid, the
candidate of the Republican party for

so far as it related to Mr.. Scheerer,
has been withdrawn.
Mr.. Scheerer said he had heard
nothing of the political situation at

when he was met by a reporter OF

of 1853 Washington street, walked from
his home across the street to the First
precinct this afternoon to find that
only the width of the street had sep
arated him from the boy for the eigh-
teen hours previous.
For several months Edward had
been an inmate of the Home of Our
Lady of Victory In Buffalo, where
he had been placed when his step
father. met with financial reverses.
Last week Richman came to the con-
clusion that he could afford to care
for the. boy. and wrote the Rev. Mel
son Baker, director of the home, to
send Edward to this city.
The youngster was to have been in
Albany Monday night, but when
Richman went to the railroad station
Something had happened at the Buff
falo home which made 1t impossible
to send the boy here until yesterday
Riehman returned to his home and
started a search for his stepson by
telegraph. Every railroad that leaves
Buffalo was communicated with and
finally he wired Father Baker. From
him he received word this morning
that the boy had left Buffalo yester-
day morning and was probably in
this city.
Hurrying across the street Rich
man found the youngster calmly sit
ting in the First precinct, and ap-
parently enjoying his experience with
the police to the utmost.
He had been found at the Lacka-
wanna station by 9 policeman late
last night He knew he was to meet
his stepfather here, but had no idea
where he lived. While he was in
this city, the boy said. he had lived
in Mulberry street. but no trace of
Richman was found by police who
canvassed large part of that street.
Captain Caffrey was about to search
for Richman through other channels
when he arrived at the station house
and claimed the boy.

discussion of so many topics akin TO
waterways that three days. at cast
are allotted for the sessions.
There Is something on the program
of interest to every State from Maine

ment of the large rivers Which now
into the ocean, many of the states IN
land have sent their delegations. some
sessions will be held here, but most
of them at Hotel Griswold, in Groton.
To relieve the delegates from too
close attention to their subjects many
excursions have been planned TO the
forts which guard Long Island Sound
