New York, 1895
Benjamin Frank Wood, of the Standard, lobbied in Albany to help Assemblyman Vacheron and Boss Youngs pass the Commissioner of Jurors bill.
Boss Youngs seems to be unable to get any kind of an office for Dr. Wright of Glen Cove. The Boss trotted the Doctor out for clerk of the board of Supervisors, but he was beaten. Next the Boss tried to have the Doctor appointed Health Officer for Oyster Bay, but he was beaten for that office, too, and by a Democrat, not withstanding he had the support of the Pilot and the Townsend boys.
Last week THE FARMER began the seventy-sixth year of existence, and felt so youthful that it forgot to mention the fact. In this length of time the paper has never missed its regular weekly publication.
Citizens, just think of Eugene F. Vacheron as Commissioner of Jurors for this County!
To causes the most complex and conditions the most peculiar must be traced the fact that the entire composition of the legislature to be chosen this fall will be radically changed. In the Senate of 1896 there will be 50 members, in the Assembly 150; an increase of 18 in the Senate, and of 22 in the Assembly, over the present representation.
