ganization because they inure to the
peace, prosperity and happiness of
our State and Nation.
believe that the present activity
of Alfred l. du POnt, pretended po-
Iitical purifier, is due, not to any
desire to serve or benefit the public,
but to a desire to vent his hatred
upon his kindred, at the expense of
Republican principles. Republican
policies, the Republican party and
the Republican organization.
Believing those things, and beIiev-
ing further that Republican prin-
ciples, Republican policies, the Re-
publican party and the Republican
organization are of infinitely great
er importance to our State and
Nation than are the hatred and re-
vengeful lust of any man, | deem it
to be my sacred duty in the impend-
ing primary and general election to
support those principles and policies
and that party and its organization
with loyalty and fidelity, to the end
that, by so doing, may truly and
faithfully serve the public interest
and the public welfare.

THE CARDIFF GIANT. A side

the Cardiff Giant. 1T is not often
that a hoax becomes nationwide
and stir a country to a frenzy of
excitement as did the supposed
Cardiff Giant find, which was
reported to the public In 1869 by
". G. Newell, a citizen of Cardiff
N. Y, while digging a well, the
igure Of a stone man was found.
1t the depth of FIVE feet, and upon
investigation was pronounced to

WAS TEN FEET HIGH. The
length Of the find was more than
ten feet.
NEWS SPREAD QUICKLY. The
news was quickly flashed over
the country. Then began a reg
dlar stream of visitors to the little
village.
SMALL FEE. Although only a
nall admission fee was charged
to view the won der the idea of the
vast number that journeyed to
the place can be estimated when it
is calculated that the sum of
fr5o, 900 was paid to see the
giant.
SCIENTISTS VISIT THE SCENE.
From all parts of the country
came scientists to Cardiff, to pass
heir opinions. Many of them
pronounced it a genuine petri6ed
figure of a prehistoric man, 81
ant.
TO ADD TO THE MYSTERY. An
cid Indian squaw in the neighbor-
hood, told of a tradition among
her people that gigantic Indian
prophet buried in that place, had
declared his body would one day
be found in tact.
SPLIT AMONG THE SCIENTISTS.
While the scientists disputed and
trgued, the fame of the Cardiff
Giant grew day by day. A syn
dicate was formed to take the
monster through the country and
exhibit it, P. IT. Barnum, the
famous Snowman, offered a large
price for the giant, but the syndl-
cate would not sell.
