A POLITE HINT.--Eight thousand
Wings met at Hamilton, Ohio, last week
The multitude comprised every class and
sex. They formed san army with ban
ners," and it is said that the Same old
coon that was out in 1910, was there, with
several young ones. Several speakers
occupied the platform, among them Gov.
Corwin. The resignation of the Wings
of the Legislature was approved. Reso.
lutions condemnlng the course of Captain
Tyler, and requesting him 10 resign his
office, were unanimously adopted. This
is next kin to the Irishman's hint; and
if the HsmIltonians had it in their power,
it would not be long before that itself
would be given.-Rich. Comp.

ours has friendly relations.
Among them was the representative Of
one Of the South American Republics,
who, wishing 10 make himself agreeable,
challenged party in his immediate vi.

proposed a toast. Accordingly, their
glasses were filled, and our polite Senior,
