is believed to be on she eve Of repentance.
The Picaytne shows some such symptoms

rather lowered on this last mob Some
pretty close observers attribute it TO the
fact that the new Fusion paper. the IIer-

for indignation meetings. Naturally, the old
Pie regarded it as an invasion OF its pc.
culiar privileges, and feels sore about it.
Although the orators and the rabble were
we'll known to its reporters as the regular
old settle disappointed McEneryite
oftice-seekers, free lunch brigade. and all
the we'll known strikers-o-it affects to be-
lieve that the people called out by its new
rival In demagoguery were all Kellogsites.
During the other riot, when it was the
acknowledged leader Of the Fusionists. it

to arms to defend their tiresides," etc. !:
now, because they follow the lead Of "a
more sctivs and violent journal. and leave
the equity old Picayuns halting behind, it
shouts after its deserters, ''Kelloggites.'
The fact tina: several gentlemen. some
ofthem Republicans. took a large number
Of guns from the robbers and restored

was Mr. Ch.ries 4. Bacx uie, a well known
Republican, who, On being questioned, ac

Several sther gentlemen saw one Of the
rosbers casrya gun into the GErCELIcAS
office.

But wei, known citizen Of the tenth
ward called at our Office on Tuesday night

"Bring that gun here, sir" which order
was Instantly complied with. and tie gun
