There Was a Reason The explanation of Dr. Jordan and tht comment*, of the Npssau County Review do npl In any w^y retract or change the Implied accusations con- 'ulned In the former's first letter con¬ cerning the official acts of Trustees Randall, Raynor and Bedell.
We reiterate that in our opinion the citizens, taxpayers, and voters of Freeport too well know the integrity of the Village Trustees and can easily read between the lines—the reasons for the attempted effort to discredit the present administration.

WILLIAMS,
William 8. Hall
The annftuficcment that William S. Hail has ft>Bd Jtfin petition and con¬ sented to be -a candidate for Treas¬ urer of the Town of Hempstead has created gi'feat enthusiasm for his can¬ didacy and election in the whole com¬ munity, and especially the readers of the Nassau Post, which was the flrst paper to 'chamt>ion his cause. If we should say his neighbors are joyful over the prospect that he shall again be the Treasurer perhaps we well ex¬ press it, for ail the residents of the Town of Hempstead are his neigh¬ bors; they know him so well; they know of his honesty and integrity; they know his ability; they know his conservatism; they know the success of the Banking Institution of which he is cashier and virtual manager, pronounced by the Banking Depart¬ ment one of the soundest and best managed in the State.
They know his success In manag¬ ing many estates that have been placed in his care. They know his record for many years in the ofllce to which his friends aspire that he shall again hold. They know that In his hands the Town's money will not only be safe but carefully and profitably invested, and returned to the Town's pe'ople with increase. They know there will be no occasion for any resident of the Town of Hempstead to worry over the safety of the funds entrusted to the care of William S. Hall.
That is why his friends are jubi¬ lant over his prospective nomination and election, and ask their friend^ to unite with them in working and voting for Ms election.

pledges of support. He is the one candidate upon whom all of the vot¬ ers seem agrevd. It is predicted this morning that he will run way ahead of his ticket.
Mr. Williams is a plain, common- .¦iensed business man of stability and earnestness. Kverybody seems know "SU," as they familiarly call him. He is honest as the day is long and as frank and sincere as man cai. be. He has one basis for everybody. The poor are more welcome at his home than the wealthy. He is dis¬ tinctly H people's candidate and the [)eople always carry the day in Free- poi 1.
Few candidates who have run for this ofHre arp better fitted to serve. By his honesty, sobriety and Induatry .Mr. Williaius has been able to re- ;ire somewhat from business and It prepared to Kive his unlimited atten- lioii and .'services to the people and to the oftice. A man who has made a succes.s in his private life and pri¬ vate business c;Hi't help but make a jiood piil)lic oflidal.
.Mr. Williams has the courage of his <-onvictions and the voters can certainly rest assured that Mr. Wil¬ liams will do all In his power lo con¬ serve tiif interests of the taxpayers iis well as permote the interests of the Village. The voters unanimously i>trree thnt the taxpayers cannot af¬ ford to dc) one thing wliich would de¬ prive them of the bfiieflts of this man's experience. Mr. Williams is a sure winner.
