90 We are glad to learn that no men in the
city more sincerely rejoice at the miscarriage Of
| the so-called Workingmen's ticket, than some OF

ment. They saw, when too late to change their

justifable reasons, arraying themselves against
the best interests of the city, and against the
best friends of the working men. They will be
slow to step into such trap a second time.
E The politician sssoldier of fortune"
who dens the honest garb of q 'sWorking Man,
| can no more conceal his true character, or re-
! store confidence on the part of those whom he
| has betrayed, than the ass can disguise his bray
or conceal his ears by donning the skin of lion.
Having sown to the wind he should expect to
reap the whirlwind. No whining or other
babyish demon STATIONS can secure the respect
which men pay to manhood. Having turned
against those who have pampered him, and
sought to ruin a cause that he could not con-
troll, he must not think strange to find himself
left to wither in the sun.
