RUMoRED ISDIGNITY TO THE FLAG.
We had hoped from the information
learned as to certain gentlemen who
have heretofore been acting with the

nifty Democratic flag that was flying
from one Of the street railroad cars, the

W. M. Harrington, whom the public regard

pronounced in itself worth the price Of
admission. A change of programme,
introducing many new features, is an
