promises to close all the saloons on Sunday

the moral courage to keep those pledges and
the temperance folks might as well hang
their harp on that mythical woodbiDe as to
try to make a republican officer elected keep
promises made before election. Ii is not the

more Creek and the east corporation line of
the city. He found the fall to be l6 feet in
that distance. A map Of the survey was
sent to Engineer Erwin, of Hamilton, Ohio,

The fuscisl genins of the Union again
appears The party ring masters we're suo-
cessfu in keeping him gogged until after
election, and, as q result of such party dis
cipline, we're partially successful. The res
trants having been removed he growls all
over this morning with one of his famous
financial statements" and attempts 10 point
out how the late democratic Council were
able to make such an excellent showing OF
economy, by valueing the Rock River
Bridges at $4,000 instead Of $4,000.
When it is known that the receipts of the
bridges are $4,000, per year, being the inter.
est on $50, 900 his argument, if such il may
be called, falls stale upon the public, as do
his arguments on all such matters. One little
matter will show how they were able TO
make SO fair a showing e, one firm, in
which the Union is the company, refused to
pay its city taxes, and instead of letting the
matter go, small as it was, only $82 20, the
collector took q note for 60 days and tried to
get the banks TO discount it. Did they do
it? The city still holds the note.
Don't it sound nicely for concern to
howl about taxes when it will not even pay
its own city taxes?

THE Democracy started out vigorously in
behalf of good sidewalks, in which effort the
UNION earnestly sustained them. But when
Bailey Davenport sneered attheir ordinance
and dared them to enforce 1t, they backed
square down and BAileys walks remain IN
planked to day.-Uni0R.
So thoroughly satisfied was tie Council
that the republican Aldermen we're in favor
of forcing Bailey Davenport to lay his side
walk that they placed the whole matter In
Alderman Ssge's hands with power to act.
When the City Attorney wished to 60 on
with the suit this Sage.d republican put q
stop to the whole proceeding. Bah, Miss
Union, you must try again before you can
make capital out of that. You had better
stick to your baby poetry, and financial
statements"
