Gormly bad lived an absolutely clean, upright, honest, hardworking life since he landed In New York. They did not find out where he came from or even where he was born. The only possible clue they had was the statement that he had once been In the west, with which Haldane had supplied them. Men had scoured the principal cities of the west; but nothing had been learned. Connell was in despair. He end Llffey and Benson had again and again been on the eve of determining upon the manufacture of some degrading or Incriminating story which would at least serve their purpose. It would not be difficult to get witnesses to such an endeavor; but It would be highly dangerous to resort to such an expedient and they were still hesitating and undecided. About this time the disputed fran chise expired. A resolution was im- mediately introduced In the board of aldermen at the city hall granting a renewal of It to the Gotham Freight traction company. Every move In the game was watched, and the resolution had scarcely been read and referred to a committee when It was communicated to Gormly. The next day the Gormly papers rang with the charge that the city fathers intended to give away its most valuable remaining public franchise to the Gotham Freight Traction company. At the next meeting, despite the furious protests of the Gormly party, the resolution was put upon Its passage. Gormly here played his greatest political card. Attended by a body of friends, he presented himself at the council chamber and forced ad When the resolution re mission. newing the franchise was about to be voted upon, as a citizen of New York deeply Interested In the matter he demanded to be heard.
