Parson Wightman

New York, 1895

They are saying in Oyster Bay that the fining of Parson Wightman will defeat the re-election of Supervisor Underhill. Mr. Underhill cares more about the conscientious discharge of his duty to the town than he does about future officeholding. That is proved by his steady faithfulness. He is not a demagogue.
