I ELECTION RETURNS, As Shown by the Eagle Bulletins and Signals. An election night signal will be Former Ambassador to England Says He Would Vote for Him, IF HE HAD THE CHANCE.

Mr. Lorrillard Says the Republican Party Should Have United on Low Against Tammany Business Men for Low. Prominent Labor Leaders Declare for the Citizens' Union Candidate Poll in the National Civic Club. Thomas F. Bayard, former United States Ambassador to Great Britain, arrived this morning on the American liner St.

Louis from Southampton'. Mr. Bayard said he had gone to England on a personal mission, the nature of which he would not disclose. He denied the report that he was to become head of a corporation at a yearly salary of saying he wished the report was true, but that he wasn't much of a corporation man. If he voted in New York, he said, he would vote for Low and Fairehlld.

"Mr. Fairehlld and I were colleagues In the cabinet," former Ambassador Bayard said, "and his admin ietrution would be as clean as Low's." Mr. Bayard said he was shocked at the death of Henry George. He had a high regard for Mr. George's personal character, but differed from bis principles.

Mr. Bayard will return to his home in Delaware tc day. Mr. Lorrillard Says Republicans Should Support Low. Pierre Lorlllard, the horseman, was a passenger on the American liner St.

Louis, which arrived this morning from Southampton. Mr. Lorlllard has come back to spend this winter on his yacht Caimen, on the Indian river.Fla., Instead of wintering, as usual, In Souther France. In the spring he will return to continue racing his horses in England. "I like England," he said.

"The best horse wins there. There are gentlemen on the turf there. They race there for sport. Of course, money Is involved, but it is mainly for sport. "The fact is, I am disgusted also with American politics and the corruption here.

Things are liable to bust at any time and a panic result. No, I do not mean exactly that," said Mr. Lorlllard, in the next breath, "but affairs in the United States are very unstable. Foreign stockholders do not care to invest money in this country, even if they were assured of a 20 per cent, dividend. They will Invest anywhere in New Zealand, British Columbia, anywhere but here.

And they won't until the money question is settled." Mr. Lorlllard termed the Republicans "Jackasses" for entering and continuing in this municipal campaign with divided forces. He thought the death of Henry George woul4 benefit Low's chances. Business Men for Low.

SI Contract for the Erooklyn Anchorag6 Was Legally Awarded. DECISION ON POINTS OF LAW. Justice Smyth in Denying the Application for a Peremptory Mandamus Ignores Disputed Facts and Holds That Commissioners Have Power to Exercise Their Judgment in Awarding Contracts. O'Brien to Bring a Taxpayers' Suit. A decision in the action of Contractor John J.

O'Brien and others to obtain a writ of peremptory mandamus against the New East River Bridge Commissioners, because of what they claimed was a fraudulent award of the contract for the Brooklyn anchorage to otber than the lowest bidder, was handed down by Justice Smyth in part I of the New York Supreme Court late yesterday afternoon. Tbe application for a peremptory writ to restrain the commissioners from allowing the Degnon McLean Company to proceed with the building of the Brooklyn anchorage, is denied and the action of the commission in awarding toe contract to the Degnon McLean Company is practically Indorsed. Justice Smyth's decision in full is as fol lows: The application is denied for the following reasons. First, the provisions of the con solidated act relating to the letting and awarding of contracts for the performance of public work do not in my opinion apply to this case. Second, under provision of chapter 789 of the laws of 1895 as amended by chapter 612 of the laws of 1896, the power to construct the bridge and exercise their own judgment and discretion in regard to awarding contracts for such purposes Is vested in the commission.

Third, the proof shows that a contract for the performance of luch work was actually awarded and that such contract was executed by the commissioners and the contractor before service of the papers in this case, and that the persons with whom the contract was made were not parties to this proceeding. Fourth, disputed questions of facts are presented in the motion papers which cannot be, determined in these proceedings. The right or tne relator to the writ must depend solely on questions of law. Motion for peremptory writ denied w. th $10 costs.

The news that the case had been decided against Contractor O'Brien was received with great rejoicing by all the members of the bridge commission, for they consider that the decision virtually quashes the allegations of fraud and conspiracy made by Contractor O'Brien and at the same time enables the engineers to proceed with the building of the bridge. It will be remembered that Mr. O'Brien stated in the affidavit submitted in court at the time the case was argued that he "was positive that the contract was let to the Degnon company as a result of a bold and daring conspiracy. He swore that he had information to the effect that he could have secured the contract had he been willing to have paid $5,000 each for three of the com missioners votes. He also indicated in his affidavit that he had been approached by a man claiwing to represent Mr.

McLean of the Degnon McLean Company and that the man offered him $40,000 provided he would agree not to make a fight against the awarding of the contract to the Degnon McLean Company. Aitnougn tne commissioners are barmy be cause of Justice Smyth's decision, Contractor Brlen Is not at all p.eased. He told an Eagle reporter this morning that he didn't intend to let the matter drjp and that he would, In all probability, bring a taxpayer's suit within a week or two. 'I had hoped that I would win the case." said Mr. O'Brien, when I take certain things Into consideration the decision is no more than I shonld have anticipated.

I am not through with the case yet, hnwever, and as soon as election is ver I will be in better shape to substantiate my charges of fraud. In the taxpayer's suit which I expect to bring snaii put witnesses on tne stand who will testify to the facts in the affidavits alreadv submitted to the court. Names will be given and there may tie some startling revela tions." Colonel Andrew D. Baird, the president of the bridge commission, when seen by an Eagle reporter to day, said that he had just heard of the decision and t'hait he was, oi course, greatly pleased. Will the wcrk on the Brooklyn anchorage now begin at once?" ttie reporter asked.

It has never ceased since the contract was awarded to 'the Degnon 'McLean Company," uoiorrel Baird replied. This is news to a great many persons, for it is thought that work on the anchorage was at a standstill pending the dicision of O'Brien's action. CALLED COUSEL A LOBSTER. Lawyer Hauser Gets Even in the Supreme Court. I Counsel for France Walker, who got judgment for separation' against Frank B.

Walker, movod before Justice Gaynor for an ordor punishing the defendant for failure to pao alimony ordered by the court. Originally 4 a week alimony was granted, and this haB been aflirmod by tho appellate division. The defendant is a member of the Petty Soullard AValker Beolty Company of New York and is said to have a comfortable income. William Hauser, who made the application to day. said that when he had tried to collect the alimony the defendant threatened to kick him and applied the epithet of "lobster" to him.

Confine yourself to the motion," said Judge Gaynor, and don't try to prejudice me against him. How much, does this man owe at present?" Walker's counsel said that tho money had just been paid, while Mr. Hauser said he owes only the costs now. "Can you send a man to jail for not paying costs?" asked Judge Gaynor. 'No, sir," said Mr.

Hauser. Then take your order with S10 costs," said his honor. SAVED EXPRESS CHARGES. Bonds Valued at $4,000,000 Carried in a Dress Suit Case. San Francisco, October 30 In order to facilitate tho settlement of the estate of tho ato James G.

Left Mr. Peters' Office a Week Ago Thursday and Not Seen Alive Since. Was in Business in New York Appearances Do Not Indicate Foul Play. To Be Taken to Niles, Michigan, for Burial. The body of Mills H.

Landon of 94 Decatur street was found floating in the water off ClITton, S. yesterday afternoon. Mr. Landon has been missing from his home since last week Thursday and the authorities do not yet know whether his death Is the result of an accidenit or whether he Intended to commit suicid. The indications do not point to foul play.

Mr. Landon was a partner in the firm of Lewis Landon, collection agency, at 145 Nassau street, New York. On Thursday morning last Mr. Landon left his home on Decatur street, saying that he was going first to the office of Augustus W. Peters, the Tammany candidate for president of the Borough of Manhattan, and that from there he was going to Staten Island on a collecting trip.

That is the last that Mrs. Landon saw of her husband, and from that time until last night not a word was heard from him. About 11 o'clock last night word came to the police here from the Staten Island police that a man who, by papers in his pocket, had been identified as Mills H. Landon of Brooklyn, had been found dead in the water. Mr.

Lan don's partner, W. S. Lewis, was immediately notified and this morning, accompanied by Undertaker John A. Bennett of 295 Flatbush avenue, he went to Staten Island and returned with the body. Nothing is known for certain of Mr.

Lan don's movements since he left Mr. Peters' office on Thursday week. It is known, however, that he reached Mr. Peters' office, but he did not see Mr. Peters, who was out at the time.

Mr. Lannon left the office, and from that point all trace of him was lost. For the first two days after he disappeared Mrs. Landon thought that he had been suddenly called away, and that a telegram would come from him telling where he was. When he did not re appear and the suspicion that he had come to an untimely end began to strengthen, Mrs.

Landon requested the police be not notified, but asked her friends to make a quiet search for him in this city and in New York. This was done, but no information abotu him could be gained. The body was found at 5 yesterday afternoon floating in the water off Cliff street, Clifton. It was quite a litt.e distance from the shore, and the people who first saw it looked at it for some t'jne before they were certain what it was. When it became apparen that it was the body of a man Edward Wise and a man named Breno went out to it in a 'boat and brought it in to shore.

These men are employed about the Rapid Transit Ferry docks and the pier in which they brought it is near the railroad station. From the railroad station word was sent to Coroner Isaac A. SilvLe oi Port Richmond, and he immediately responded. After he reached Clifton a jury was impanneled and ap examination made of the body. There was apparently no reason to suspect foul play, so a permit was given for the removal of the body.

The inquest will be held on Wednesday night next. Nothing in the man's pockets had been disturbed, so far as could be seen. His watch was in its pocket, his pockets were full of receipts and letters and in his pockets was a'bout in money. The body was In an excellent state of preservation, so much so that it was the opinion of Coroner Sllvle that It had been In the water for not more than four to six days. If this is so, there are a number of days to account for, for the dead man was last seen ten days ago.

Nobody was found last night who could say that Mr. Landon had ever reached Staten Island after he left Mr. Peters' office, and his whereabouts for the unexplained time la unknown. Mr. Landon was a cousin of "Ell Perkins." the entertainer and lecturer, whose real name is Melville D.

Landon. He came to this city from Michigan several days ago and lived in a daintily furnished fiat on Decatur street. Last Friday, the day after he disappeared, a telegram camo to him from Niles, his old home, telling him of the death of a brother In that city. Mr. Landon was a prominent mason.

He was a member of Clinton Commandery, in this city, and had been prominent In masonry In Michigan before coming here. The funeral will take place in Aurora Grata Cathedral to morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the burial is to be in Niles, Mich. STORY OF A SAILOR. Says He Was Assaulted and Put Ashore From a Schooner. George Gallway, the man, who runs a row boat ferry to Ellis Island, from the barge office, New York, under contract with the government, has roported that ho, yesterday afternoon, found a sailor on Ellis Island, who said that ho had beun put ashore from a schooner.

Minnie Hallender was to have appeared as defendant in the Lee Avenue Police Court this morning on a summons obtained by her daughter, Clara L. Hallender, who liveB with an aunt at 215 Stockton street and who alleged that her mother wrongfully retained her clothing.

BETTORS ON LOW ARE FIRM. Object to Having All Wagers Declared Off. The death of Henry George has raised many complications among brokers on the Now York Stock Exchange, who made wagers in various 1'orniB on tho result of the election. There were vigorous objections this morning over a proposition to concel all beti based on tho success of Low over Tracy. The men who wanted them declared off said that tho professional bookmakers in New York had cancelled all of their bets, and cited them as an authority in mattorB of this kind, it was generally conceded that the Tracy supporters wero "squealing," to use their slang expression, and that thoy regarded tho complications resultant upon George's death as unfavorable to tho Kepublican candidate's success.

There was very little bettingt his morning on the election and the odds that were made were accarding to 2 or 2 to 1 against Low's bucccsb. David Lapsley bet B. A. Poabody 550 to S25 that Low would not be elected and E. B.

THEY WILL' GO TO THE SON. Democratic District Leaders, However, Confirm Their Report of Yesterday That the George Vote Was Returning to the Democratic Party and Van Wyck. Jeffersonians Boom Local Nominees of the Regula s. Reports from Democratic district leaders to day verify those of yesterday that the bulk of the Henry George vote will be found in line for Van Wyck on election day. A man, who was recognized as one of the George leaders here, said to an Eagle reporter to day: "I shall support Mr.

Van Wyck and urge all my friends to do the same. In fact, there is nothing else for me or them to do. We certainly cannot go to the candidate of the Citizens' Union. Mr. George's body was not cold when Mr.

Low reached out to grab his political heritage. Quigg maligned him, and the only people who showed real sympathy were the leaders of the regular Democratic party." Master Workman Collins of District Assembly No. 75, K. of says that the moBt of the George people will stand by the son. He is positive, however, that none will vote for Low.

"Mr. Low," he said to day, "represents the aristocray and the money power, who would like to he m. de rlher so that they an take are of the poor. That Is not what the poor want. All they ask is a hane to take are of themselves." It was reported at Democratic headquarters to day 'that ex Judge George G.

Reynolds had announced his intention to vote for Bird S. Coler, Democratic nominee for controller. To an Eagle reporter Mr. Reynolds said "I have not announced my support of any candidate in this campaign. Many of Mr.

Coler's friends are my friends and whatever I may do is a personal matter, concerning which I don ot care to make a statement for publication." The Democrats will hold "thirty seven meetings to night. There will be a few on Monday night. George People Boom Local Candidates of the Regulars. The executive committee of the Henry George campaign committee for the Borough of Brooklyn, to day issued the following address: To the Voters of Brooklyn: No Democrat who is a friend of justice and equality as represented by the great Democrat who sacrificed his life for the people, need mourn for the cause he represented, for In the son of Henry George, who is now the leader ot the Democracy of Thomas Jefferson, we have a candidate as pure in character and as broad in his Democracy as the father who lies dead. The new Henry George is a man of education, of experience, of mature years and the equal in intellect of any man ever nominated for office in this city.

He stands for all his father stood for; he understands and trusts the people and he has given a pledge as solemn, sacred and impressive as ever made by man, that he will carry out the work of his immortal father. To Brooklyn Democrats and all lovers of liberty, we say vote for Henry George on Election Day. Vote not only that you may build with your overwhelming votes a msn ument to the patriotism and purity of Henry eGorge, but that you in ay elect a new Henry George to vindicate the righto and rule of the plain people, and to regenerate the greatest American cities. Vote under the rooster emblem. Vote for all the candidates under the Rocster emblem.

The Democracy of Thomas Jefferson has nc quarrel with the candidates for local offices nominated by the regular Democratic party in borough of Brooklyn; its quarrel is with the Democracy of Tammany Hall, whose candidate for mayor is an insult to real Democracy. Do not endanger your vote for Henry George by voting under any emblem except the Rooster. Under that emblem will be found the candidates of the regular Democracy of Thomas Jefferson. Charles O'C. Hennessey, Chairman; Sylvester L.

Malone, secretary; James P. chairman Campaign Committee; C. Augustus Haviland, Henry A. Goulden. John T.

Foote, E. R. Bathrick, executive committee; John Fllmer, chairman Brooklyn Single Takers' Campaign Committee. The following was given out at the George headquarters in this city to day: "In spite of the fact that many of the single taxers were speaking at Indoor and outdoor meetings throughout the city there was an unusually large attendance at the Single Tax headquarters, 1,188 Bedford avenue, last evening. They were brought together spontaneously by the tragic taking off of Henry George.

The meeting was most impressive. Men and women grieved and wept at the loss of their leader. Those who spoke did so In muffled tones, being hardly able to command their voices. But grief was useless and did but retard the work which yet remains to be done. Everyone present, while regretting the loss of their standard bearer, knew that the battle still raged, and were determined to fight on until the victory was won.

At the close of the meeting the action of the campaign committee, in substituting the son of the dead leader as the standard bearer of Jeffersonian Democracy, was heartily and unanimously approved. The memorial meetings at tlie Amphion Theater and Gp.ind Opera House to morrow night will be addressed by the speakers previously advertised. There will be a meeting at t'ae Rink to night. D. A.

Miss Charlotte Bertol, Aged 63 Years, Hangs Herself in a Fit of Melancholy Over Her Sister's Death Martin Siv ers, 62 Years Old, Began to Drink Hard and When Threatened With Arrest Shot Himself. During a fit of temporary Insanity yesterday afternoon Charlotte J. Bertal, a sister in 4 law of George O. Kipp, a prosperous milk 1 dealer, committed suicide at the latter's resi dence, 268 Degraw street, by hanging herself from the door of a closet on the second floor. The house is a three story and basement brown stone dwelling and adjoining it is the milk depot conducted by Mr.

Kipp. About two years agoMrs. Kipp, who was a sister of tho suicide, dffed. The la'tter had never been married and had liver for many years with her sister. She was 63 years old.

The deatti of Mrs. Kipp was a severe blow to her. and she never recovered from it. At times Miss Bertol became morose and fretful. When in this condition she would bewail her fate in losing the companionship of her sister and declare it was hard to live wi'thout her.

She was at other times very pleasant and apparently reccnclledto her loss. On Tburs day evening she. attended a church entertainment in the neighborhood and to all appearances enjoyed the programme provided. She retired in good spirits. Yesterday morning nothing unusual was.

noticed in her actions. After lunch sbe wenit to her room on the second floor and ab ut 12:30 o'clock was seen by neighbors on the opposite side of the street standing at the window. Walter Kipp, a nephew of the woman, tried to enter his aunt's room from the hall dor, as was his custom, as 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and found the door locked. He entered the room by another door and was horrified to find the woman hanging from the door. He raised an alarm and was assisted by his fa'ther in cutting her down.

An ambulance surgeon who was called gave It as his opinion that she had been dead about half an hour. Miss Bertol had tied one end of a clothes line to the Inside knob of the door and had thrown the other end over the dror. On this end she made a noose. From the position of the body when found It Is supposed that she got on a chair and after arranging the noose stepped off. One foot was partially resting on the chair.

Drink Causes Aged Martin Sivers td Shoot Himself. Martin Sivers, 63 years old. of 102 eScond avenue, deliberately committed suicide this morning in the rear room of his store, at the above address, by shooting himself over the right eye, causing instant death. Sivers, who was the father of a large family of sons and daughters, had been drinking heavily of late, and for nearly a week had beeen acting strangely. On Thursday night he purchased a revolver and a box of cartridges and threatened to commit suicide.

The cartridges were taken from him, but be managed to keep the revolver. H'vs wife and an unmarried daughter were afraid to stay in tho house with him and spent Thursday night with neighbors. Yesterday Mrs. Sivers took the cartridges and went to the Butler street court and got a summons for his appearance in court to day. Tho summons was given to him late yesterday afternoon.

Whether this was the cause of him fulfilling the threat to take his own life Is not known. About 7 o'clock, however, he went to Wack Brothers' saloon at Second avenue and Ninth street and ordered and drank a glass of whisky. He did not say anything; there about what he intended to do, but went directly to his store. He passed to the rear room and a moment later Mrs. Sivers and her daughter heard the report of the pistol.

Patrolman Gibbons of the Eighth Precinct, who was standing at the corner, was called and found Sivers lying on the floor with the bullet wound in his head. When the ambulance surgeon arrived he pronounced Sivero dead. As faT as known. Sinns had no trouble Chat would cause him to take "his own life and until he begun drinking was looked upon as a peaceful citizen. He was in comfortable circumstances and owned tie house In walch he lived.

The serving of the summons, It is believed, haatened him in carrying out hta threat. 9 SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Poland Water IS SOLD BT Geo. Lockltt's Son's 530 Fulton st 212 Fulton st. 1,249 Bedford av.

Woodruff and Elliott Believe That It Is Tist ffc rnnfi, riort Ch.nU i i Openly Proclaim His Position Low Men Say That He Will Be Followed by Thousands of Other Republicans, Some Comments. Mr. Worth's open declaration of adherence to the cause of the Citizens' Union ticket added but another step to the dramatic incidents of the campaign in the eyes of the leaders of the Republican party in Kings County. This morning they profess no surprise, for they declare that they have all along expected such a step to be taken by the County Clerk. As to its effect upon the result of the campaign they are not sure.

Secretly they look upon it with some apprehension, coming, as it does, so soon after the death of Henry George, an event which upset their calculations of sucess very materially. But out of this very fact the mora courageous arc building hope, for they declare that it has come too late to have the effect "which it was intended should have. They profess to believe that the minds of the voters are now maue up, aud that Mr. Worth's open declaration In favor of Seth Low will accomplish but little toward swaying the wavering ones to the Citizens" Union banner. Woodruff Says He Is Glad.

"I had all along hoped that Mr. Worth would come out for General Tracy and the ticket of the party to which he has so long belonged. said Lieutenant Governor Wood ruff this morning, "for I believe it would have been beneficial alike to the ticket and to Mr. Worth himself. His letter, which sim ply conflrms the attitude which ho has held i from the start, counts for nothing now as i'ts effect is already counteracted by the knowledge which the party has all along had.

It will have no more effect upon the condition oi affatrs now than would the letter of any other individual." Tho same idea was elaborated by many of the leaders about headquarters, who added to the Lieutenant Governor's words the assertion that Jacob Worth is now politically dead and wi'thout influence of any material kind. Congressman Fischer's comment was simply this: "The letter speaks for itself and deserves no further comment." Elliott Says It Will Help Tracy. Jesse D. Frost, chairman of the county committee, said: Worth is an old campaigner. He is able to think and act for himself.

He is over 21 and so am George F. Elliott remarked: "The Tact that Worth has at come out for Low will naturally aid General Tracy to my way of thinking, as it induce those tvho were yet undecided, to come out squarely and fairly for the candidate of their party General Tracy." "We have all along known what Worth was," said one of the members of the campaign committee. "Ho has been for Low from the first, of course. While we tried to induce him to stick to the party which has done so much for him and his, we knew that, under certain influences, which were pressing upon him almost constantly, he would not take any definite stand until the last minute. Our efforts were for his own good, provided he ever expects anything frc the party in the future.

He to for Low at the start and, asmuch as he may hare personally desired to stick manfully to the old party, he was not physically able to withstand the constant pressure brought to bear upon him by the Low henchmen. He has yielded, as we all along expected he would, and his letter comes now in the nature of a political trick, which it is hoped will have its effect on the eve of the campaign. But It is toa late and, while it may carry with it a few hundred votes of the Worth followers, the majority had long ago made up their minds just how they wjukl vote and the county cleTk's action now will fail of the effect intended." Low Men Delighted With Worth's Letter. That Jacob Worth letter means thousands of votes for Low was the universal opinion at Citizens' Union headquarters to day, when: expressions of delight and gratification over his courage in actively coming tut for his true choice were to be heard. It fas even asserted that the Worth men will be found manning the polls on Election Day and working like beavers to get out the full strength of the Low vote.

Expediency of Worth's Action. Commendation of Mr. Worth's w.is "warmest from the mouths of men who have long opposed him in politics, and the fejlin seemed to be unanimous that he had not on.y done the right thing, but that he had ne the expedient thing, too. Had Mr. Worth remained silent, he would, it was said, undoubtedly, have been assuced of knifing Tracy at tho polls and even had he fallen in line for the machine candidate he hive been reprimanded for his long delay.

S', from every puint of view his declaration wa considered by Mr. Low's followers as the best policy. Does Worth's Attitude Mean Tracy's Cause Is Hopeless. The comments to day of men active in Mr. Low's behalf show t'heir apreciation of Mr.

Worth's stand. Edward Barr said in discussing the letter: "Mr. Worth has the reputation of being an exceedingly shrewd politician. Many Republican? who have been waiting for proof that Low Is leading Tracy will accept Mr. Worth's word for it and will decide now to support Low, although they have previously stood by Tracy.

The letter will have a tremendous effect in this particular as well as in strengthening the determination of Mr. Worth's personal followers to vote Tor Low. Many of Mr. Worth's men have been working energetically for us for some time, but I think that now they will redouble their efforts and help us a roll up a tremendous vote for our candidate in this county. When we consider the way the county clerk and his loyal supporters have been treated by Piatt, Quigg and their fellow conspirators we cannot wonder that Mr.

Worth should refuse to fall in line with Piatt and help him carry out the discreditable programme whiab he seems to have arranged. It will be remembered that Mr. Worth served warning on Senator Piatt some time ago, telling him that unless he turned his attention to the real foe Tammany Hall something might happen. Flatt has not only refused to take this good advice, but has fuTdher angered loyal Republicans In this county by allowing one of his leaders to work openly against Joseph A. Burr, the Republican nominee for supreme court justice.

This lesson in regularity Turnished by one of Piatt's lieutenants is one of the most astounding things of the campaign." Ex County Committeeman Collendee's Views. Another prominent member of the Citizens' committee and a member of the eKpublican county committee, J. O. Collender, said: "I understand that Mr. Worth has studied the situation carefully and has found that "With the help of Mr.

Low's friends will probably be able to give him. he will be able to control the county conraittcc after election. The disasters which are sure to overtake his present opponents in the committee will leave them with a demoralized and impotent following which canndt be rallied to the support of the man whose leadership has made all this trouble for them. Mr. Worth is satisfied that his present position will be sustained by the county committee.

The regularity bugaboo has no terrors for him when he sees his antagonists working against Joseph A. Burr; and when the Piatt men.
