But the lH?inocnitlc party, baring met with a number of succeaae*. bad obtained tbe mastery of tbe county at last and devised and worked with success a system that had lUled them with coohdence of their turlnciblllty. They no longer had any respect for the rights of their opponents, or even for majorities on the other side. Tbe town of Kingston, surrounding the city of the same name, covering a large extent of wealthy farming territory and Including also a portion of tbe Catskills In which were valuable blues tone quarries worked by foreigners, all of whom voted tbe Democratic ticket and profited enormously In sequence, gave Parker bis first majority In political life This majority drawn from two stone quarry products which contained not more than 150 voters, but gave Parker 006 vote*. This was done by simply bolding back tbe votes till tbe rest of the county was beard from and then returning a sufficient number to elect him. Whether Parker connived at this fraud la not publicly known. It la known, however, that be accepted and held tbe office for six years.

Tbe result In dollars and cents was more costly than tbe tapayers could bear. Tbe same 150 “rotds” who cast . euc ballots for Parker levied $16,000 taxes upon tbe town for outdoor relief, but, though tbe men of property protested and went to law, a Democratic court decided than they must pay, and they did. But tha paper*— the Kingston Dally Freeman, and the Kingston Journal—which 1 owned and edited took up the subject and spent tbe entire winter publishing these expenditures Item by Hem.

the people read the papers which exposed tbe rascalities perpetrated by the quarry statesmen, backed by a Democratic 1 board wf supervisors with more than a two-thirds majority. There was a new board to be elected In tbe spring, and not a day passed without tbe printing of from one to three columns of Democratic dotags. The resalt W»a a sweeping revolution,

Nobody can may that, there la anything experimental or uncertain about what the Republicans offer. They “stand pat" saying through their platform and candidate. “If you wish to know what onr future will be. look at our past." Neither can anybody nay that there la anythin** except uncertainty about what tbe Democrats offer. What their policy Is they themselves do know. All that they promise li change, and that in Itself is a pledge (o unsettle existing condltfona-tbat I* to bring about uncertainty.
