that. But why tickle him to death! We can get
along moderately with him. lie is not as great
man as the celebrated Mayor of Paris, who, du-
ring the first great revolution, cut such figure.
The Cuban riots demonstrated this. But he is
clever gentleman. But what is in the wind, when
the Delta so ey,ravaganty, without any attack, so
curiously tckles the Chief Deputy of Mr.. Freret
| Can any body answer us that!
| We know that some gentlemen, wing or demo-
cratic, are very clever gentlemen. We know Mr..
| Freret, Mr.. Crossman, the Second Municipality
Council, ETC., retain and encourage some demo-
cratic gentlemen who are very clever, very honora-
BILE, very faithful, very competent, very worthy
very industrious personally.
We compliment all concerned on that. But We
are independent" enough, careless enough, tt
ask if members of the democratic party woule
retain the same gentlemen in Office, if they wer'
wings. The Delta mentions Mr.. Blossman
. saws nothing of Mr.. Fabre, gentleman, per

The matter turns upon other questions. III
