gs~At the Republican meeting last
evening, the Boss" Doc. Morey, Capt.
Bill Morris, and other Republican ringsters,
appealed to all persons present to step
forward and pay for uniform. Although
it was pretty hard matter for the ring
leaders" to get the people to join
the companies, they found they had
a still larger job on their hands
when they brought up this subject-the
people do not like the idea of paying $l,75
for an old oil-cloth cloak and hat, which, it
is said, only cost the ring leaders IS cents
per suit What the people now want to
know is, into whose pocket does this extra
81 go? Will it be used to bribe men to
vote for the Republican candidates? Only
fve men said they would pay for suit
the others saw through the trick.
sarThe Republicans have been blowing
for several days past that their party had
the Moline Rifles under its thumb, and
that that organization would turn out
whenever the Boss" ordered it to, but if
that is true what can be said in answer to
the following conversation between DIR. j.
W. Morey and jerome Magill, captain or
the Rifles, which occurred last evening?
Morey 'Magill, we've got about so
Hayes Il Wheeler uniforms for the Moline
Rifles, which you can get whenever you
want them"
Magill-"All right, Morey, but we don't
want them at all-the company is not
a political organization, | would let you
understand, sir, and you fellows can't
twist us'-that was all the reporter could
hear-as Morey seized Magill's arm and
pulled him to the further part of the
room.
