F" RATHER SMALL GAME."-Thc Knight Of

Alleganan denominates us his "querulous
friend" This impeachment is rather unchar-
liable to say the least of it, when we consider
that our article inducing the cpithet was writ
ten in reply to one charging us with wishing
to strip off the laurels the Democratic Coun-
Gil won in their wise, judcious and econoni-
cal management Of the city's affairs last year. F"
e He says we arc dealing in rather small
game" when we cite facts to show that the
American members of the Board saved to
the Corporation the amount of the fines which
stood recorded against the Democratic Coun-
cilmen at the contamination of their official
career. The game is ''rather smalp because
the amount saved was only t,oelre dollars, in
Inmates the Alleganian. Well, ifso, how much
"smalP'-tr does the game appear when it is
known that the Democratic councilmen want
ed to pocket it, and were prevented by the
votes of Councilman Ohr and Mayor Nc
Cleary? The amount TO each Councilman
would have been only t,ro dollars. inst look
at it neghbor, and see what small game
they would have played, had McCleary and
Ohr not been liz the path of its accomplish

enter into calm and impartial investigation
of the matter the "gane" on the part of your
Democratic Council "grows smaller by de-

But neighbcr, there is one very important
circumstance connected with this controversy.
which you shall not lose sight of, unless you
are purposely blind to facts. We would re-
mind you sir that the game was commenced
by you, not US. In your fulsoinc eulogy Of
the Democratic Councimen, yol called at
tention to the fact that they had passed reg
ulation imposing fine upon themselves, as
proof positive of their ''disntcrcstedncss" and
economy. This Democratic theory Of NUM-
cpal economy tickled you wonderfully when
you heard it Oh the tongue and saw it in print,
but the moment it was proposed to reduce
the theory to practice, it was found that what
was good in theory, seemed rather disagreea-
bly, in practice, and the Democratic Council
men generously" refused 10 enforce the fines.
We want you to meet the issue. Notwith-
standing this Democratic game" "grows
smaller by degrees and beautifully less" eve
ry time you subject it to rigid examination,
yet we want You to toe the mark, face the
music, and dance to the tune, by publishing
the vote on the proposition to remit the fines.

ny" On the night Of our late nunicipal
election, disgracelul and unfortunate affair
happened on Mechanic Street. 1t appears
that a very respectable German citizen, rising
superior to his prejudices and predictions,
had the manliness and independence to de-
c..are his support of the American party
which reused the vcngefal passions of some
who had gwen their VOWS Of political devo
ton at the altar of Democracy. When the
ballots were counted, and the announcement
made that the Opposition had succeeded in |
tne struggle, the humiliation of defeat stirred
