Something About the Candidate. VanWyck, as the Tammanyites call him, is a dark, r horse than his brother. Hob, was last fall, and a better. I. have 1.. n told .. .0 tine s how much smarter than B.d> Gus is. Gus i.- simple and democratic in his ways. He w< ars a big silk hat in udgeship, bin aside from that hi is as easy going as you please. He talk- like i southerner and is a graduate of the (University of North Carolina. He studi. d I- w in Ri.'hmond, and met his wife there. She is a queenly southern woman and a so, ial leader in Brooklyn. He has 1.. • n a justice of the supreme court four t, on years, and was a candidate for re munin'.Hioti this fall. He is a strict organi z.'iin d.nio. rac. and twice was chairman «,f the Kings county democratic committee! He lot ■ politics, and prefers the activities of . ;,mi>:iigning rather than tlic quiet life of a justice. He is fifty-two. It Was a Set-off. it was i division of honors between Cro ker and Hill.

It ought to be a winner. Gus Van Wyck will resign his judgeship, shuck off ills coat and give Teddy Roosevelt the race of his life. Work of the Convention. When the convention, met soon after noon Frederick Scraub was elected permanent chairman and was escorted to the cha r. He made an address In which he scored the republican state administration, charged the national government with criminal neg lect of troops in the Spanish war, and sujid: ‘‘Everywhere democrats were in the van.

The recent re port of the canal investigation commission has startled the people of the state and produced a profound eonvictir i on their part, irrespective of their views on na tional questions, that a change of .‘-tale domination is imperative for the p' serva tion of tile canals now seriously imperiled for the protection of ixpayers and for the vindication of the honor of the Empire Stale. It therefore becomes the pari of wisdom to reeoL nize the fact that under existing circumstances state issues in this campaign must necessarily be paramount in tiie present extraordinary crisis.

W’e know where lie lives and we do not have to apologize for it.” Van Week's name was the last presented, and at 2:18 the calling of the roll fur the first ballot began after an adjournment mo tion had been defeated. As tlm roll proceeded, it was found that tin- up-st ite delegations broke up eoasld erably ami split the \ote. Wit, n New York was reached Richard Croker said: "New York casts 105 votes for Van Wyck," and tlmie was a. roar of applause, followed by another when the result was announced. Tim vote stood: Van Wyck 350, Stanch* field 200, McGuire 21, Titus 41. The vote was then made unanimous. The Record of Judge Van Wyck. Augustus Van Wyck, democratic candi date lor governor of New York, is a de sc< t d.mt of Captain Abraham Van Wyck, of New York city, a soldier of tiie revolu tionary war. and a brother of the present mayor of Greater New York, Robert A. Win Wyck- He is tifty-two years o,d and is a graduate of Philips Academy, Exeter, N. H., and of the University of North Carolina. In 1881 Augustus Win Wyck Was elected to serve a term of fourteen years tm a judge of Brooklyn city court. Whim the city court, under act of tiie legislature, wc.s abolished two years ago, Jtalgo Van Wyck became a justice of tlm supreme court., second judicial district, and his term will expire tills year. Mr. Van Wyck has been active and prom inent in the regular democratic ranks in Brooklyn, being a strong supporter of THE MISSING WORD CONTEST EXTENDED THE CONTEST WILL CLOSE ON DECEMBER Ist. No subscriber of The Constitution can bo more disappointed than the paper itself at its inability to announce in this Issue of The Weekly Constitu tion the result of the missing word contest which was to have closed on October Ist. It is impossible to announce the. name of the successful of th 0 missing word in the sentence, “THE WHOLE SQUAI>.RON TH EN SET OUT TO HUNT DOWN ‘ simply because of the thousands of guesses re- ceived not one guesser has named the correct word. We were anxious that the contest should have been closed and the announcements of the premiums to bo given should have been made in th: issue of The Constitution. In order, however, that our subscribers tnay be given the benefit of the 10 per cent of the subscription fund received from those w.io have guessed in this contest., we have decided that the contest shall be continued until the FIRST of DECEMBER, ami that the 10 per cent already earned du- Ing the month in which the contest has been running shall be added to the amount to be earned during October and November, thus making a mag nificent fund for the successful guesser of the missing word. Since no one has supplied correctly the missing word, and the time for the contest has expired, we could declare the contest off. retain the 10 per cent already accumulated, and start another contest without any one being able to Justly criticise us for so doing. Other papers might, do this, but 1 lie < msf tution recognizes the fact that the 10 per cent, already earned belongs to its subscribers, and we prefer to leave it open, and add to the fund 10 per cent of the subscriptions of those entering the contest between now and December Ist.
