The Voice of the People Is Heard.
Gormly's refusal to accept the In
dorsement and become the nominee
of the outs created a great sensation,
It was an evidence, which by and by
even the stupid could apprehend, that
Oormly literally meant what he said
when he declared that he was to be
an absolutely Independent candidate,
tied to no faction, bound by no party,
tntlrely free and unfettered.
The men who rallied to his support,
while as Innocent as babes In the prac-
al politics affected by Liirey ana
Benson, were nevertheless men of
abounding zeal, keen Intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social Bet and circle
of the Haldanes. Gormly In one way
or another employed a vast number
of working men. Ills relations with
them had always been not merely
"square," as they phrased It, but kind
and generous. They were organized
and started at work Immediately in
every direction. Before the enemy
realized It, ample time had been se
cured In every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store Itself was
great auditorium In which free con
certs, lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employes and
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be
completely cut off from the other
business. Every afternoon he assem
bled In the auditorium the workers
and speakers, and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion of the Issues, of what was to be
said In the speeches 'of the night, of
the places to be covered. The man
'showed a genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing. He de
veloped a power of succinctly pre
senting the facts, which in large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers.
Livingstone Haldane's example had
Been rouoweo oy not a iew young iueu
of fortune and position. It became In
a certain sense among a certain set
the fashion to campaign for Gormly.
Automobiles of all sorts were avail
able for transporting speakers, and
tissues and social distinctions wire
wiped out In the greater Issues in-
. volved. By tnese metnous wnai was
picturesquely described In the city pa
pers as a whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated.
It must not he supposed that the
opposition was Idle; by no means.
Never had Its activities been so great,
they had summarily refused any more
of Gormly's unique proclamations.
They professed themselves entirely
ready to print his business advertise
ments at the usual rates. Gormiy
retaliated, of course, by withdrawing
all advertising of any sort from them,
and doubling the space he purchased
In the other papers. Naturally, there
fore, the press divided In two sec
tions; those that were controlled by
the party in power, and those that
were favorable to the new candidate.
Incidentally, nothing that he could
have said or done could have so in
creased the business of his store!
His business rivals and associates in
deed suggested, and the suggestion
was quickly seized upon by the ad
ministration papers, that the whole
thing was a clever advertising dodge,
and that Gormly was simply using his
candidacy to boom his business. There
was no satisfactory answer to this
argument, which was one of the best
that could have been devised by the
opposition, and it was harped upon
immensely, although their leader was
vigorously Justified from this charge
: by his army of fighters.
The expenses of the campaign were
enormous. Not one cent was paid out
for bribery or for the purpose of in
fluencing votes in any Improper way;
but the hiring of balls, the paymeut
of the expenses of meetings, organiza
tion, transportation, printing, salaries,
and so on aggregated an extraordinary
sum. Even Gormly himself had not
realized how great these expenses
would be; but he paid them without
blenching. His resources were vast
He put at the disposal of his candi
dacy all the accumulations and earn
ings of twenty-five years. He saw
that by the time the vote was taken,

"The gentleman is out of order,"
remarked the presiding officer as soon

for the space of one hundred years.
Will you sanction that?"
The square was now seething with
excitement. Gormly's clear, powerful
voice carried to the extremes of the
crowd. His plain, practical presenta
tion was simple enough for all to un
derstand. He paused at this Juncture
and surveyed the crowd. A voice
suddenly cried a shrill negative, and
Instantly the word was caught up and

ever Increasing volume and vehe

If Gormly had looked back, he could
have seen the windows of the city
hall crowd with aldermen, white faced
and anxious, listening to that tre
mendous and even furious negative.
"Let's get the aldermen out here!"
cried a voice in a pause in the conv
motion, "and show 'em what we
think!"
There was an instant response to
the suggestion. The people made
wild surge toward the entrance of
the city hall. The multitude could
easily have degenerated Into a mob.
But Gormly checked it. His control
was admirable.
"No, gentlemen," he cried, "no, men

Its energies so manifestly put forth.
It had welcomed with Joy the news of
the refusal of Gormly to become the
candidate of the minority party. Llf
fey had at once decided in his own
mind that that settled the issue. Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were of the same opinion. Haldane
alone, the wisest, shrewdest, and
ablest of the group, was not con
vinced, and under his vigorous though
uecret urglngs the ring redoubled its
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
Trora the party ln power to make a
iomblnatlon with the outs was sprung
upon the public. It was hailed on one
side as an evidence of the fairness
of the party in power and the Sachem
society, which many people imagined
needed no alliance of that kind. It
was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party In power had noth
ing to conceal, since It admitted the
fnils to Its councils, and that it was
Incerely desirous of giving New York
a business administration ln which all
factions and parties should be repre
sented. There was truth in the con
tention, too. The only faction or party
that would not be represented by this
alliance would be the common people.
Wiser heads, however, realized that

where he was born. The only possible

but to you, the people.'
'What're you going to get out of
It?" asked a voice.
"I am going to be elected mayor of
New York by you men," answered
Gormly. "I am going to get the con
sclousness that I have an opportunity
to aive New York a clean, decent,
law abiding administration, without
graft. I am going to put the people

enily undaunted. Ha waved his hands
for silence. Gormly assisted him in
quelling the tumult. The mayor
stepped to the extreme edge of the
portico; but before he could begin his
speech, the same burly voiced man w ho
had been such a useful adjunct to
Gormly Interrupted him.
"We don't want to hear any speech
from you tonight. Mr. Gormly," he
roared, his great voice compelling at
tention, and as he spoke he sprang up
on the steps of the automobile and
faced the crowd, "we want you to ask
the mayor of this city it he's going to
sign the bill granting the franchise.
But before you do that we want you
to tell htm what we citizens of New
York think of the proposition."
Through the crowd at this moment
came charging a platoon ot police, at
the head of which was the chief him
self. The men handling their sticks
shouldered their way roughly through
the people groaning, raging, swearing,
about them. Connell laid his hand on
the speaker and sought to drag him
from the automobile. The man struck
back violently; clubs flashed in the
air. The multltudo ln another instant
would have been a mob. Gormly it
was who came again to the rescue.
"These," he promptly interposed,
raising his voice, "are peaceable citi
zens discussing a great public ques
tion. I appeal to you as mayor of
this city to call off the police. Take
your hand off that man's collar, Con
nell," he shouted, "or by the living
God I'll turn this mob upon you and
there won't be a rag left of you and
your bluecoats!"
He stepped down to the body of the
car as he spoke; and before the chief
realized what he was about he seized
him by the collar and threw him back
ward. It was a magnificent exhibition
of strength and nerve and courage.
"Call them off," he shouted to the
mayor, "or I won t be answerauio ior
the consequences!"
As soon aa he stopped, the roar of
the mob began. Some were there who
thought they had never heard a sound
so terrible and so menacing. The
mayor, not without good sense, came
to the rescue.
"So long," he said In his powerful,
finely modulated voice, "as these peo
ple do nothing, they shall not be Inter
fered with. March your officers up
here to the steps of the city hall,
chief!" he cried.
There was nothing for Connell but
obedience. Shaking his baton fierce
ly at Gormly, he gave an order to his
men, and, followed by the curses and
groans of the multitude, they marched
ud the steps of the city hall and
grouped themselves about the mayor.
"I want to tell you," cried Gormly
"mounting to the seat again and now,
thoroughly aroused, bis voice ringing
like a trumpet, "that you have no
need of police protection in the pres
ence of the people of New York."
"Let me speak!" said the mayor.
"No!" thundered the crowd. "We
don't want to bear you speak!"
"Mr. Mayor," said Gormly, "these
people want to express an opinion to
you. Fellow citizens, those who are.
in favor of indorsing the action ot
the council ln granting the franchise
to the Gotham. Freight Traction com
pany will say aye."
Every henchman, every follower,
every ally, every official present, cried,
"Aye!"
It made a brave showing until the
negative was put, when such a roar
of disapproval arose that it was like
the breath of the gods and fairly
shook the ancient stones of the hall.
"Now, sir," "said Gormly, "you see
what our masters the people think.
They wish me to put to you a ques
tion. If such a measure comes be
fore you, will you veto It or will you
not?"
The mayor was in a dilemma, a
fearful one. He was quick enough to
see that his whole political future,
the future of his party, practically de
pended upon his action. If he did not
declare his purpose to veto the bill, he
and his party were doomed. If he
took some other course, they would
still have a fighting chance. The
mayor rose to the occasion.
"Gentlemen." he said, "my action
shall be dictated by yourselves."
"Answer! Answer! No speech!"
roared the crowd.
"Every man Is entitled to his
chance," said Gormly, "and I beg you
to hear."
"I will pledge you my word," con
tlnued the mayor, "that so far as
have power the Issuance of this fran
rhise shall be determined by the elec'
