CHANCE FOR SUlZER
Incidentally He discovers That

of Self Government.

Louisville. Aug. l6-Henry watterson
threw the following brick at New York
to-day:
THAT the people OF New York are in
capable OF self-government. especially
the people Of the city which dominates
the state OF New York. has long been
the belief OF observant and thoughtful
onlookers.
Life Is safer among the feudlsts OF the
mountains OF Kentucky than II is in the
Borough OF Manhattan. Living is less
fuddled I'm the Blue Grass than in The
Bronx. Even the scrub politicians who
sometimes work into places OF emolument
and honor here are a trife cleaner and
less ravenous than the wolves who there
prowl at all hours OF the day and night
between tho purlieus OF the Great White
Way and the legislative red light in the
Capitol at Albany.
Judge Herrick talks loftily OF 'preserv-
ing the dignity of the commonwealth
Alack. the day! II has no dignity to ore
serve. Its dignity was thrown TO the
dogs years ago. Not one OF the rogues
who voted Impeachment cares a hill

meanors' OF Sulzer The court which

THE public debt Of the city OF New
York rivals the national debt. We read
Of the Walpole regime In England with
kind OF wonder II was not a neabite
by comparison with the system OF pillage
which holds New York In grip from
which there seems no escape.
Things are every whit as bad as they
were under Tweed. They were amateurs
in those days.
Poor William Sulzer One can we'll be-
lieve he did not wrongfully use a dol
lar; that the case against him is n
frame-up'; even that. like the dog In tho
fable. he was merely In bad company.
Did he not know that Wall Street is a
house OF prostitution? What WAS he
doing there? Why did he 90 there?
"A kind OF Innocent rusticity and child
like egoism plead for him. But they will
plead In vain. Just as they whitewashed
Stllwell and Cohalan will they impeach
him. Judge Herrick is great and noble
man. the very synonyme OF an ld-fash-
Toned jurist and a conscientious Tilden
Democrat, but all his learnings. his char
acter and his genius would not suffice 10

GFrom a Saff Correspondent OF The Tribune
Albany. Aug. 15.-The latest reports
from the Executive Mansion tonight
were that Mrs. Sulzer was Slightly
worse" Officially, the only bulletin is
sued during the day was given out at
3 o'clock this afternoon. signed "Abra-
hams" which read as follows:
Mrs. Sulzer Is still in a precarious
condition; temperature 102. pulse 11s.
and continues partially delirious."
DR.. Abrahams went to New York last
night. but returned tonight The az
ternoon bulletin, 1t was explained, was
issued with his authorization, given
over the telephone after he had heard
q report of Mrs. Suffers condition.
The absence Of DR.. Abrahams, to-
gether with the fact that Drs. jacob
and Macdonald who were ANNOUNCED
as prospective consulting physicians
were not called to the Executive Man
sion. gave rise TO all sorts Of rumors
as 10 Mrs. Suffers exact condition.
Mr.. Suffers enemies, frankly disre-
garding the rule of political warfare
that forbids the dragging in Of a
woman's name, declared that Mrs. Sui
zer's illness was reported as a delib
crate play for sympathy. They de-
clared that she had been talking to
and visited by several Albany acquaint-
ances within the last two days. and
that the Governor was planning TO take
her on an automobile trip tomorrow
and Sunday.
Governor Indignant.
The Governor was so indignant at
these reports that he broke the rule Of
silence that his lawyers enjoined upon
him and spoke to friend on the Capt.
tol steps TO-DAY In the presence Of the
newspaper men

about this whole business" Mr.. Sulzer
said, rs Mrs. Suffers condition She

MRS. SULZER FAILS
TO REGAIN HEALTH
Latest Reports from the Executive Mansion Day
Governors Wife Is "Slightly Worse -
DR.. Abrahams Returns to Albany.

this case wish there was some way
we could keep her name out from now
on. She is very ILL., was up with her
nearly AL night"
Governor Sulzer himself is beginning
TO show the strain. His customary
rather gaunt appearance Is emphasized
by a lack of his usual energy. Which
his friends say is due entirely to the
double strain Of his wife's sickness and
sleeplessness and his political and off,
cial stress.
AS TO the story that Mrs. Sulzer is
not as sick as she has been reported
the response Of the friends OF the Gov
ernor was that her trouble was en-
tirely one Of nervous overstrain 1t
was said that she had no organic
trouble or illness, but was simply nerV-
ously worn down by the strain OF the
last few days. and by her own belief
that she made a mistake In projecting
herself into the case as she did so sud
denly late on Tuesday night.
HystericaI at Times.
Since then Mrs. Sulzer has been hys-
terical at times, and has suffered from
nervous crying spells as well as sleep
lessness. Two OF her sisters are still
with her. although the doctor had at
first directed them to take up quarters
near the Executive Mansion, both TO
make that many fewer persons around
the sick woman and so that the sisters
could receive Mrs. Suffers friends who
called.
II is said by those who have been
socially intimate with the Governors
household that Mrs. Sulzer has been
able on occasions since her illness TO
walk around the house for short pc
riods, and II is believed that 1t was on
this account that the reports that she
was not actually sick gained some cir
culation.
Late this afternoon three women
were sitting on the veranda OF the EX-
ecutive Mansion, but they retired as a
caller started up the walk from the
street. and at the door the caller was
told that neither Mrs Sulzer nor either
Of her sisters could be seen.

uty Secretary OF state. who has charge
of the seal.
Mitchell May. the Secretary Of state.
called on Mr.. Glynn to-day 10 tell him
that he had decided that his official
obligations were due TO him as acting
Governor. and that he believed 1t was
his duty, under the constitution, 20
recognize him as acting Governor.
While the great seal Of state, which
takes precedence even over the Gov
ernor's privy seal. was thus put under
Mr.. Glynn's command. Mr.. May de-
cided that he would sent Deputy Pid-
geon tomorrow TO make formal de-
mand upon Mr.. Sulzer for the privy
seal also.
1t is certain that this demand. like
Glynn's formal demand for the office
Of Governor" Will be refused, but Mr.
May has decided that. as custodian Of
the seals. It is his duty to put himself
on record as having demanded the
privy seal. and Mr.. Pidgeon will de-
liver that demand tomorrow.
One OF the most sensational Of the
unfounded rumors and reports that
cropped up during the day was the
accusation from a Sulzer supporter that
the Governor had been told that money
was used in the fight In the Assembly
just before his Impeachment. The re-
port had 1t that Speaker Smith. Assem-
blyman Levy and other Tammany lead
ers who were gathered in the Speak
ers room during that all-night session
had used improper influences and
money TO coerce Assembymen who
were determined to stand up for Sulzer.
The story is not taken seriously here
because the Speakers rooms, both outer
and private Offices. were open and
crowded with legislators and newspa-
permen practically all through that
night session.

1houuht He Knew Him,

A laborer was engaged in the
grounds of an asylum and received
instructions to pay no attention
whatever to the remarks of the pa
tents.
Some little time after he com
menced to work the governor of the
asylum, well known doctor, look
ing at the progress of the work,
mildly suggested one alteration.
The workman dug steadily on and
never lifted his head.
The doctor raised his voice, but
the man, without answering, went
on digging energetically. The doc
tor threatened, stormed and finally
thundered out:
"Do you know who i amp"
The laborer Strengthened his back,
looked at him a minute and, shak-
ing his head, sorrowfully exclaimed:
"Poor chap. | am sorry for ye, .
and went on calmly with his work.

An excursion party from wom-

rural part of the state. AS there
was only one very small hotel in the
neighborhood, some of the members
had to sleep in nearby farmhouse.
Everything was very simple, al
though scrupulously clean and
homelike, says Harper's Magazine.
But there was naturally lack of
