'•S T A R T tE D T H E PARTY.” Mr. Dean (Rep,., Chautauqua) startled the party by speaking against the bill. He said : “ I am a republican and as a repub lican I am opposed to this attempt to grab the legislature for twenty years. That is all that it is, pure and simple. I w ill sw a m p y o u r tic k e t i f w e have a t i t head the old man proposed for governor and at Its tail the proposed apportion ment, It is a monumental error, and I for one will not vote for it, caucus or no caucus.\—IVeio York Press. For Coroner, ARTHUR A. SWANICK of Saratoga Spa_ For Justice of Sessions. CHARLES D. GARDNER, of Grermfleld. For Member of Assembp JOHN H. MASSEY of Still ' U 't d e p a c d t in g county tkeasujrers . The citizens of Saratoga county have been particularly unfortunate in the trust reposed in two republican county treasur ers. The long term of service enjoyed by Henry A. Mann resulted in defalcations amounting in 1876 to the grand total $130,056.11. But this was not all. The taxpayers of Saratoga county tvere filched for years and years to pay Ipg.il expenses connected with the fraudulent Mann notes. In addition, $100,000 required above the Mann defalcation of $130,056.11, to make a final settlement of the Mann notes case. April 4, 18.88, bonded debt of $230,000 was placed the taxpayers of Saratoga county, as the result of having a popular republican hold office too long as coun'y treasurer. Last year’s county tax budget contained appropriation of $9,000 to pay Maun bonds falling due February 1,1894. The budget also contained an appiopriation of $7,580, to pay interest falling due on Mann bonds in February and August 1894 Taxpayers of Saratoga county, here was an expenditure of $16,580 last year on account of a defaulting republican county treasurer. This tax will be continued for fourteen long years to come. How do you like it? The successor of Henry A. Mann James H. Wright, and he had only en tered upon bis second tt!rm when discov ered to be $13,000 short in.his accounts. The supervisors ordered actions at law for the recovery of this money and for his removal from ofliee. Three years be fore, the board of supervisors had unani mously adopted a resolution declaring in favor of a single term for county treas urer?, and this action met with universal endorsement throughout the county, but Wright was a popular republican, and he was given a second term, strange to .say. Here are the words of the supervisors in December, 1875: W hereas , “The offloe of county treas urer, in each and all of the counties of this state, being an office of great pecuniary responsibility and trust, every precaution and safe-guard should be taken to pre vent fauds, peculations or defalcations by those officers; and W hereas , The recent startling devel opments, showing that Henry A. Mann, the present treasurer of this county, is in default olHcially in the sum or upwards of $100,000, and which is believed to be the result of a fixed purpose or criminal neglect on his part, running through a series of years, and commencing upwards of ten years ago, convinces this board that the term of office of county treasur ers should be limited to three years, and that they should be ineligible to re-elec tion for a specified time after the expir ation of the term of their offices; for if such had been the law and said Henry A. Mann consequently limited to one term of office, it is believed that said defalca tions would not have occurred; therefore liesolved. That this board do hereby respectfully petition the Honorable, the Legislature of the State of New York, to amend the law for the election of county treasurers in the several counties of this State, 80 that such officers shall be ineli gible to the same office for the. next tliree years after the termination of their terms of office.” Stephen C. Medbery succeeded James H. Wright, and has now held the office of county treasurer sixteen year.?. He l.s aominee of the Ballston republican ring for another three years term, and asks for the votes of Saratoga county taxpayers. He ought to be defeated. He has no business or right to ask for fur ther continuance In office, and the people will bo very foolish to elect him. The books should change hamis January 1, 1893, and the voters should in.slst on it. Tlie Populist County Ticket. The populists of Saratoga county have nominated the following county ticket: For sheriff, Charles L. Pease of Schnyler- yilD; for county treasurer. Philip S. Dorland of Dean’s Corners; for superin tendent of the poor, .John H. Bullard of Schuylerville; for coroner, Thomas E. Sweetman of Charlton; for member of as sembly, John W. Sburter of Gansevoort. The district committee have placed James M, Queen.s of Perth, Fulton county, in nomination for representative in Congre.ss. The populists are a new ele ment in Saratoga county politic.s, and their strength cannot be fully estimated until after the next general election, It is believed they 1 receive t’aeir sup port principally from former republicans, McUIrr’i Store to lie Vacated.

Main-st., Mechanic- At the meeting of the Saratoga county republican committee at Ballston Spa, Wednesday, George H. West of Galway was chosen chairman and Charles Mc- Kallor of Waterford secretary, An ex ecutive committee was appointed as ful- lotvs: Frank B. Peck, Waterford; John W. Howe, Saratoga Springs; Frank W, Neilson, Stillwaier; George E. Settle, Milton; and Monroe L. Kathan, Hadley, The democrats of Saratoga county at their recent convention nominated ex- Justice John H. Massey, the popular pres ident of this village, for member of as sembly, and a vigorous canvass will be made for his election. In the field against him are the following candidates: Chis. H. McNaughton of Schuylerville, repub lican ; C. E. Roh’olns of Saratoga Springs: prohibitionist; and John W. Shurter of Gansevoort, populist. The two latter candidates were formerly republicans. Village President Massey is one of best known business men, having ' ducted an extensive clothing and mer chant tailoring establishment here for many years. He has always been an enthu siastic democrat and a great “ vote-getter” whenever a cindidate for office. In ’85, he was the democratic candidate for justice in the town of Stillwater, and was elected by the unparalleled msjtirity of 450. He ran 230 votes ahead of the best man on his ticket. In 1889, he was re-elected for another term laf four years, receiving fi majority of 119 vote.«, although the re publicans elected their candidate for su pervisor. Last spring, Mr. Massey ran against Hon. C. B. Shetfor, ex-member of assembly, and defeated him in a hot con test for village president. Politically, Mr. Massey is a hustler. He has never yet been beaten at the polls, and he. stoutly declares that he is to be the next member of assembly from Saratoga county. Justice Massey is a member of Episcopal church, and his wife is a Cath olic. Two of his .sons are associated with him in the clothing trade, and one of nis d.aughters is assistant principal in our high school. Mr. Massey is well educated and is thori’Ughly conversant with public aft’iii’s. As a member of the town board of Stillwater for tivelve vears, he .saved the taxpayers of his town thousands of dollars, and kept town expenses fuPy one- half lower than In the .adjoining repub lican town of Halfmoon. Mr. Massey is infinitely superior in character, education, business and political experience, to his republican opponent, Phas. H. McNaugh- top, who organized the party bolt again.st George Rogers nine years ago, and whose character is such that repnblican.s ashamed of his candidacy. But of th it, we will speak later In th * canvass. A VILLA G E SFEEDW AY. A road connecting with So. Main-st (the new road) running about due south without a bend and without a hill, meet ing the river hlghw.iy about a hundred feet north of the Fitzgerald creek, paral lel with, and about four hundred feet from the D. & II. railroad would be to Mttchanicville a great acquisition, not on ly as a speedway but as a short dis tance road. The road should be at least 75 feet wide, the width of Hazel-»t. length would be one and three-fourths Such a road or boulevard would not co.st much for construction. The road machine would do most of the work. The slight grading would be compara. tiyely inexpensive. It could for the pres ent be made a fair-weather road, that is, leave most of the graveling for the fu ture ; although sush a road would pierce one of the best gravel beds in the town. The only bridge would be over the Hart creek, and there nature has provided one abutment of solid rock. AH the rest of the brooks or runways could pass through iron or brick pipe. It would by no means be wise to aban don the present highway. An old road bed is better than a new one for loads. Be sides it would add to the pleasure of the drive to go around the block, down one road and up the other. Such a road would not only afford great advantages to people in, and north, and west of Mechanicville, but would add greatly to the popularity of the driye to Mechanicville from the cities south, espec ially if the sand in the two well-known lo- c.allties was pack by an application of slate, and if the road was .shifted easter ly away from th\ railroad at Mr, Wil son’s farm. To say nothing of the beauty of a wide and level road and one mathematicplly straight tlie distance saved would be a great item. The evolution of our pre.sent zigzag highway from the original Indian trail is slight. For instance, starting at the new road the ilistance from the road suggested to the Hart residence would he about 400 feet; to the present high way at the Hart and Leland line, 30 feet; the Leland stone bridge, feet; to the Fitzgerald (McBride) lams 1,000 feet; thence gradually le.ss to the point of juncture at the Fitz gerald bridge. The road ivould run about three-eighths of a mile through the Hart farm, just mile through the Leland farm, leaving about three-eighths of a mile through the Fitzgerald farm. J. P. Leland .stands ready to deed such a roadway for one dollar to JIcchanlcvIHc, ur to the town, or to the town and Me- charilcvllle uiiUed. All hor.semen wheelmen and people in general are invit ed to think it over. STILLWATER. The J. B. Newland Hose boys enjoyed clam chowder last Saturday evening. Mrs. P. C.

The structure is nearly 600 feet in length, and will accommodate full freight trains. The Fitchburg freight transfer building is 400 feet in length. Every j'ear is adding to the ca pacity of the railroad freight yards here, and every year the freight traffic of the railroads increases at this point. A road connecting Front-st. with the highway south of the Sears canal bridge is greatly needed. It would cro.«s the lands of Robert Moore near his lumber sheds, the lands of Mrs. Phoebe Smith and the lands of Mrs. Samuel Harris, and would bring some desirable building lots into market. The propo.«ed road would be largely traveled, as it would af ford drivers of spirited horses a chance to get out of town toward the south with out driving along the railroad tracks for several blocks.

Y.’ He made few acquaintances among the guests of the hotel and was reserved in hi«i manner. His walks about town were in one direction, crossing the river at the Riv.-r-st. bridge. Landlord AVood’s attention was hrouglu more closely to the Stranger liy a remark (>f the dining room girl, who said that the supposed young man was a woman. Burton was more closely watchi d, and Mr. and Jlrs. Wood visited his room. AVhen Burton was ac cused of being a girl, the former bri ke down and confess- d. Her cl.nm was that cruelty of parents at home had been one cau'-e of her assuming male attire, and to statt out she waited until her brother got his pay and then stole $35 and had been away from home for a month. A man known to every dealer in and player of brass band music in the civilized world will he in this village shortly.

Mr. Gorton will personally direct the Open Air Gold Band Concert to be given here at noon, day of performance. Music lovers can not afl’ird to miss this musical treat at 12 Fred Partridge is engaged in building a house on Park-ave, on a lot recently pur chased by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lucius Doughty. This breaks np the race track, and extends Park-ave. westward. Henry D. Salford, supervisor, and Charles Files have also purchased building lots on Park-avc. west of the race track fence. Lota in the first two or three blocks of the Park-ave. extension will be in great demand. If Wm. 0. Tallmadge would at once extend P.irk-ave. westward to the foot of the palisades, and thence open road northerly to Devon’s crossing, would greatly benefit bis property and improve, the village. The fanners are anxious to have the proposed road opened, and last spring the road was an issue in the town election. The highway commissioners of the town of Halfmoon ought to act in the matter. A heroic deed was done at the Park-ave. crossing of the Del-aware end Hudson road Monday afternoon. When the schol ars were going home from school a train was passing north at the crossing, which stopped the children at the gates. As the rear of the train passed by the children Started in a rush to cross in front of an other train . bound south. Bystanders shoiUed to the children to stop, which they all did but the three-year-old daugh ter of William Fagan, who kept on. the risk of his life Al. Houghtaling, a fire man on the Fitchburg railroad, made jump forward and caught the. child in his arms, picking her up in front of the train The force of his rush threw them to the ground. Engineer Smyth of the freight train blew his whistle in recognition of the brave, deed, and those standing by clasped the hand of the brave rescuer. PALE OF ACCOUNTS.
