Excerpt from Town Talk: January 3, 1903-June 27, 1903 Fire Commissioner John H. Grady, who is a persistent, professional job chaser, had hoped to be reappointed on the earnest recommendation of his confreres of the N. S. G. W If the fraternal pull is worth anything I should suggest that Jim Denman enlist the support of the Masons or any other fraternal society. To which he belongs in his behalf. Mr. Denman has been a tax-eater all his life, and he is now doing his second term on earth but he is still quite willing to feed at the public crib. And there is Martin Fleming of the Y. M. I. Who wants to succeed Denman. Whyshouldn't the Y. M. I. Come to the front for Fleming who is also an experienced tax-eater? Mr. Fleming is the gentleman who was always threatening to bolt the Democratic convention if it didn't nominate his friend Haley for County Clerk so that he (fleming) could be retained as Chief Deputy. He is now posing as a representative Democrat and he wants to be a School Director. If Grady has the support of the N. S. G. W. Why shouldn't the Y. M. I. Come to the front for Fleming, and the A. P. A. Join hands for f.-a. Hyde? Grady, by the way, has a. Record as Tax Collector, which has never been satisfactorily cleared up. He was very lucky at one time to escape indictment but he appears to be as active as ever in chasing jobs.
