The Standard Turned Down

New York, 1895

The board of Supervisors, at the meeting on Thursday last appointed the Glen Cove Gazette and Flushing Times the official papers representing the Republican party. B. Frank Wood of the Standard begged very hard for a share of the patronage, but the Supervisors ignored him entirely. The paper had tried to swindle the county, and, therefore, the Supervisors could not, as honest men, recognize the Standard at all.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 17, 1895, p. 1.
