Mr.. DALRYMPLE KING;
CROWN ONLY MISSING
Harry O'ConnelI Takes Hat
from Ring So Not to Bother
Chairman Taylor.

Yes, the Republican County Com
hlttee was glad to see Mayor Thomas
H. Raymond at its reorganization
meeting Saturday night. So glad. in
TACT, that 1t could not restrain an
audible chGcl1le when the executive
took up a position before the gather
ing. Just by way of impressing it's
happiness upon the mayor, the gath
ef1ng rose and gave County Counsel
Alfred N. Dalrymple such "a welcome
that the noise resounded down the
prudential canyon in Bank street.
Of course, the mayor was applauded,
too. Why shouldn't he be, with
speech for public consumption that
had harmony capitalized? A speech
that was all too plainly designed to
catch the support of Dal's Assembly
delegation, and therefore result in
the latter's putting the mayors pro
posed rev charter through the = t
Legislature, provided, of course It
Nhe delegation is reelected.
But if the delegation takes its cue
from the solemn reception that
greeted the mayors reference to the
charter, the legislative halls will not

the mayors pet measure makes lts
bashful appearance. Indeed, the Leg
lslature will take on the aspect of a
deaf and dumb refuge.
Il wasssom night for the "Dals!
" there We're any kingly crowns
handy, Dal could have had them all
unanimously. Even th- mayor Joined

gn~4ous remark that II shall do what

Harmony-for Public Consumption.
For public consumption, harmony
Is indeed restored. For private in
formation of ones friends-but then,
that's a secret, and no use of spelling
the good work of the press agents and
the hopes of Mayor Thomas that Dal
may, perchance, let that little old
charter slip through next winter. 1t
was n sugar coated dose the mayor
took, and he swallowed it well.
The mayor was hard put for smile,
though, when he listened to Dafs
speakers urging Dals friends to be
Tolerant with him. If the mayor
didn't feel like returned prodigal
son it would not be surprising, Tor
hidden behind the store of good
humor he had brought along one
portunity offered again the black
sheep would again stray.
The loyal "Dals' gathered as much,
TOO. for they appeared ready for al
most anything. Prepared even, re-
marked one of them later in the
night. "to put the quietus on the
mayor when he runs for renomina-
ton"
Harry r. O'Connel was placed in

Herbert w. Taylor early in the pro-
ceedings, and it was then that the
tension frightened But the "Dals'
were there" in such prepondering
numbers that Harry b. evidently re-
yarded discretion as the better part
Of yalor. So he strode to the center
OF the arena and pulled his nat out
of the ring.
The advance notices that the mayor
would be present assisted IN bringing

room was parked off like convention
hall, each ward and municipality nav

,,,ngested the offices and ante-rooms.
Mayor Has Glad Hand and Smile.
The MAYOR arrived at o'clock and
fmmeditely greeted Dal. Hello Dal,"
he said. extending his right hand,
while Dial cordially responded with
.'HelIo. Mr.. Mayor" The mayor was
called to the rostrum about S:45
O'clock by County Chairman Taylor,
who had just been unanimously re-
elected.
The executive came forward smil-
ing and was loudly cheered. More
than one "Dalite" was grinning with
,slfoulish glee, however, as he gazed
upon the late assailant of the Re-
1ublican organization. The organi-
zation mems faces were broken into
grimaces. Two or three could even
be heard snickering outright. In pri-
vate conversations others suggested
that it must have hurt the mayors
pride nightly to come to praise
Caesar, not to bury him."
When the mayor finished his little
piece, he was given another round of
applause and after the meeting was
foteed to shake hands with almost
everyone before he could make his
Way out In blissful ignorance of the
hfayor's proximity, two "Dahtes'
stood talking in room through which
the mayor was slowly passing.
1T must have been blow to the
mayors pride to come here under
these circumstances, said one. Yes,
lust think, he was trying to assas-
sinate the organization not so long
