We regret to Inform you that the good 1 tbe party demands the Immediate withdrawal of your name from the Democratic ticket." These words brought to a close last even-lag the brief political career of James O. Harden, Democratic candidate for Congress from the Ninth Illinois Congressional district. They were spoken by Ed Lahlff, secretary to Mayor Harrison, who with "Jimmy" Qulnn acted as representatives of the executive committee of the Democratic campaign committee. Mr. Darden' hesitated for a moment wWaald Swamp the hole Ticket.

"Tour past record would swamp the whole ticket, urged Qulnn. "If I must, why I so pose that settles it." said Darden finally. "Ton may tell your committee, gentlemen, that I consent to -withdraw." The demand that he quit came unexpectedly to Darden. He was sitting in his bead-Quarters at "North Clark and Elm streets when Lahlff end Qu'nn entered at 6:30 o'clock. Tea minutes before he had boasted proudly that the" exposures as to-his life, printed yesterday In The' Inter Ocean, had done him $23,000 worth of good and had netted him at least 5.000 votes.

The names of the three women are known to The Inter Ocean, but In deference to the women's wishes they are withheld. One of them yesterday told tho tale of the ring. Haw ta Bias Caaaare Haaaa. "We each wore It in turn." she said. "Of course, we were Ignorant at the time of the existence of the others.

But learned of It scon enough. The diamond was a beauty, and It was so large that Mr. Darden probably thought It ample for thei needs of all. It was so large. In fact, as to be almost vulgar.

"The way In which he managed to' get from one to another without any of us sucpeeting Is Interesting to look back upon. A South Side glrU daughter of a wealthy board of trade man. had it first. Then he met the daughter of a (Ky.) publisher. He admired her and made ardent love to her.
