swindle?
Legislative action is required concern
ing the Returning Board. Let this matter pe
attended to at once

Board casts a shadow over the legitimate
hopes of the people. Remove the spectre
Mr.. Kellogg. The sooner the better.
-. The people of this State are the only
ones cursed by that horrible sarcasm on lib
erty, Returning Board. They were Juggled
once, but do not intend to be second time.
Cloves, burnt coffee, and lemon peel

drink unless some substitute is introduced by
barkeepers

The Second Ward Colored Conserva-
tive Club met last nigh. at the corner OF
Thalia and White streets, r. E. Metz pre-

We have rece we'd ten thousand scom-
plants about the present warm spell OF
weather, all asking us to say something strong
concerning it. There is only one word that
expresses our opinion of it, and that word
commences with a very large I'd" and closes
with the affix "tion."
