In some of his reforms Gov. Hughes has had no more consistent supporter than Lieut.Gov. Chanler. But both of these men have parties, of course, and In each case the “party” fe not the several hundred thousand honest and industrious men who vote with much regularity a certain ticket, but a few bosses who monopolize control of the organizations and in other respects exercise a power much @reater than they should. Both candidates belng acceptable men, and both organizations being objectionable in many ways, proof of which ts to be found in the abomia able platforms set up by both conventions, it is plaid that Mr. Chanler even more emphatically than Mr, Hughes will be judged during this cam Paign by his attitude toward the bosses and by the promises which he may Make concerning the numerous questions upon which his machine-made platform is silent. New York {s naturally a Democratic State, but {t 1s not more naturally @ Murphy, a Ryan or a Conners State than it !s a Woodruff, a Parsons or & Barnes State. New York has been carried by the Republicans more than once because there has been no real contest between the two huckstering party machines, and more than one measure intended to promote the wel- fare of the people has been held up or defeated as a result of corrupt alli- 4nceg between so-calied Democrats and Republicans, | While Gov. Hughes has not accompl'shed as much as he might have! done, he nas been eminently successful in centring upon’ himself the hos tility of practically every Republican boss, bully and crook in the State. They hate him. They gave him @ stupid platform to stand upon. Under existing conditions they have little interest in his fate at the olla, His! Bomination was forced upon them and they would not grieve at his defea: There is talk of “harmony,” however, and of conterences and negotiations, and go Mr, Hughes, like Mr. Chanler, must ultimately be judged not so | Much by the past as by the prospects of the future. ‘'00 much barmony between Mr, Hughes and the bossea will be fatal to Mr. Hughes.

But a rude blast bas snapped it, and they have fallen over a grave Thus, In 1803, wrote Robert Emmet, trom his prison cell, The letter Was cut short by the arrival of the guard (iat was to conduct him to the scaffold, His last, words and thoughts were for Sarah Curran, the lovely gr who shared with Ireland the devotion of his great heart. A v.ographer telis in the following lines how utterly the young patriot’s affection was reciprocated by Miss Curran: “She loved hiu with the disinterested fervor of a womans first and early love, When every worldly maxim arrayed itself against him, when basted in fortune, and disgrace and danger darkened around bis name, ebe luved him the more ardenuy for his very sufterings.” Robert kinmet was an lrishman of excellent family. From boyhood be showed every promise of a brilliant future. At Trinity College, Dublin, where he was a fellow-student aud chum of the poet Tom Moore, he distinguished himself by @ veritable Genius for oratory. He also became enthusiastic over the “United Irishmen” movenient and an earnest worker for his oppressed country’s freedom, On ac- count of his ardent patriotism be was expelled from college in 1798. Thence, the twenty-year-old lad went to the Continent of Europe, where he rematned for two years Returning then secretly to Ire- land, he threw himself heart and soul into the plan for a general Irish revoludon, On July 28, 1808, he and his coll ttempted to seize the arsenal and case of Dublin. The soldiers of tie garrison beat back thelr assailants, und ihe uprising failed. Emmet escaped to (he Wicklow Mountains, where he bided his time until he could cross safely to France, Finally his arrangements for flight were completed. But before turning his back forever on his natlye land he resolved to run the terrible risk of capture by seeking a lasi interview wita Miss Curran. His friends advised against so rash an act. But love was stronger than prudence, ‘The chance for safe escape passed, and Emmet was arrested He was tried for high treason and condemned to death, At is trial he spoke so eloquently in protest against Ireland's wrougs that the English Judge himself was moved almost to Emmet wrote to Miss Curran, and, according to the story, offered a jailer bis watch and all his money to deliver the letter.
