The ''Cheap Jacks Of municipal reform

nary vigor for the past few weeks, and if the

are set forth in dauby colors with stereotyped
electioneering phrases to catch the popular
eye Mark how they are faunted in front of
every beer shop and drinking saloon, to the
admiration Of the blotchy-faced loungers
within, each one of whom feels q reflected
honor from the companionship. Watch the
stands springing up at street corners covered
with flags, decorated with varegated Chinese
lanterns and surrounded by ward politicians,
rowdies and thieves of all grades and ages.
Listen, if you can bear the infiction to the
speeches Of the stump orators and the appeals
of the friends of the Cheap Jack candidates:-
'Vote for Abe Lawrence, the honest Knicker-

old Billy Havemeyer, who was Mayor less than
half a century ago, and who will prove the
honesty of his economy by not paying out

since the real work Of the present municipal
campaign commenced, and they may well con-
