'0 O"'''S supporters TO
sit on the platform.
Since Mr.. Macy was depoSed as
State Chairman of the Republican
party at Rochester last week and
Melvin C. Eaton, Chenango county
chairman took his place, the sue
ceSSful element in the widely split
Republican group have been wise
enough to relax and hand around
the olive branch. However, in
spite of the stems of beautiful
spirit that are being passed
around, there is a split in princi-
pals in the party which many
claim is but precursor to a ma
tional situation.
No Personal Fight
The successful effort to remove
Macy, a liberal, lone wolf and
a consistent fighter of political
big business combines, was, in
reality, not so much personal
matter as a desire to get the con-
troll of the Republican party back
into well-organized, seasoned, con-
sentative hands. The Old Guard
believe that a great reaction is
going to set in against the pres
ent Administration, perhaps as
early as 1886. For leadership at
that time, they are busy groom
ing two fine types of conservative
Republicans, James Wadsworth
and F TNT11hee DAWSON
Macy Outsmarted
The Old Guard Republicans,
aided by the newly formed Re
publican legislative campaign
committee, put Mr.. Moses across
at the State convention in
Rochester by outsmarting Mr..
Macy. The latter, his friends will
candidly admit, has two major
faults, lack of judgment as to
how people will think and act
and disposition to fight every
body.
The Old Guard made a some.
what watery explanation that the
outcome did not reflect discred-
itably upon the Craftsmanship of
Mr.. Macy, but Macy supporters
admit that it was a fight and
that it was his fault he did not
win.
What actually happened was
that the Old Guard worked on
the boys and when it came time
for the election of the State
committee, they had the meeting
well packed with their supporters.
Mr.. Macy, on the other hand,
instead of fighting fire with fire,
went stomping around to the
press, vilifying his opponents. He
believed that it was more i'm.
portant at that time to get the
public on his side than the pol
iticians, but he guessed wrong.
Liberals Depressed
Now. even though the liberal
element in the Republican party
is definitely out of power and
has to go through the motions
CT climbing on the band wagon,
it is a plenty depressed group
of men.

Let it be understood that Barna-

walked with his gaze fixed pertina-

feeling that her eyes had opened

after while be it noted, needs
must he steal a downward glance at
her beauty, only to behold the
shadOwy lashes curing upon her
cheeks, as was but natural, OF
course.
So, strong armed and sure Of foot,
he bore her through the magic twi-
light Of the wood until he reached
the brook.
And coming to where the bend

he laid her there, then, turning,
