City Politics.

Democratic caucusses for the nomi-
nation of ward tickets have been called
for next Monday evening, and a con,
vention will be held the following day
for the selection of candidates for
Mayor and other city officers. We
think it very safe to predict what the
complexion of the ticket brought for
ward will be. In all probability the
candidates named will be acceptable to
the Union League, since there has
been a fusion between the two organi-
cations, and they are now cheek by
jowl in their opposition to Republicans.
Two years ago there there was bitter
opposition to the League in the Demo-
cratic ranks, and many Of the ablest
and best Democrats WORKED with will
to defeat the League ticket. For rea-
sons bestl known to themselves, however,
there was change Of front last spring,
and straight" Democratic conventions
were held, and the fiat of the party
managers put forth that none but Dem
ocrats should be placed on guard.
Again, last fall the Democrats coalesced
with the Union League in the support
of MIR. Finn for Member Of Assembly,
thus ratifying the compact previously
made between them by which they
were to swell the vote for "Tilden and
Reform" and Harlow s. Orion Re-
publicans have been taught lesson
which they probably will not soon for
get as to the insincerity of the Demo-
cratic party in its professed dislike of
the Union League 1t is this which
has suggested the propriety Of making
straight Republican nominations in the
city this spring. We may not elect
any of our candidates, but we will
maintain our consistency and self
respect as Republi cans, We may be
beaten, but, happily, we will not be
disgraced. A victory for the orposit
ion at this time and under such cir
eumstances is not half SO glorious as is
defeat coming to US while standing
nobly and manfully by our principles.
THE Milwaukee Sentinel has de-
voted considerable space of late to
what are seemingly malicious and i'll
timed attacks upon E. W. Reyes.
What Mr.. Keyes has done to arouse
the anger of the Sentinel, and call
down upon his head its maledictions,
does not appear. The course of the
Sentinel is so manifestly unjust, and
its attacks are SO evidently grounded
in malice. that we dc not think Mr..
Keyes will suffer any thereby in public
estimation. AS Chairman Of the Re
publican State Central Committee Mr..
Keyes has labored too arduously for
the Republican party, and championed
it successfully through too many polit-
ical conflicts to be the deserved recip-
lent of such abuse as that heaped upon
him by the Sentinel It were better
that the Sentinel, instead of trying to
belittle and injure Mr.. Reyes should
award him the credit which is his due
for his efforts In behalf of the party
There seems to be no occasion for the
Sentinel to 20 out of its way to malgn
prominent Republicans and SOW dis
sension IN our ranks. We are further
more Of the opinion that when the
| Sentinel does this it inficts a greater
injury upon itself than it does upor
those whom it assails.

MRS. MoLLoY.

We had the pleasure last Sunday
evening, for the first time, of listening
to Mrs Molloy, and as it is the custom
for editors to commenton this talented
and earnest woman, we follow the fash
ion. Her ability none can question,
and her enthusiasm is quite equal to
her talent and her subject. For a sab
bath evening pulpit discourse we OBJ
iected, in our mind, to some things.
The lady's power of imitation is very
marked, but we venture TO say that in
her representations of the whipped
boy who preferred to have his father
pray for him, she added little to the
force of the joke by her extreme imi-
tations. Also in the case of Michael
Dougherty, had the incident been
condensed one-half, it would have
been much more intense in its effect.
We did admire her scholarly use of
the English language, and her fiery
enthusiasm in her subject.
Now we want to say a word about
that letter in last weeks Clipper. Any
one who will write usch meanly in
sinuating letter as that, and not sign
it with their name is a coward. One
of the meanest things, to our mind,
which the local press does, is to publish
insinuating slandering communications
which the writer is afraid or ashamed
to father. But then, you know, Mrs
Molloy must be embarrassed in herwork
some way, if not by fair means then
by foul, for don't you see she is telling
some very plain truths about certain
highly respectable set ofus fellows

Oakley Halls Family.

Despite all the rumors Of domestic unhap-
piness, Mr.. Hall and his wife were very de-
voted to each other, and he gave great atten-
ton to the maintenance and education of his
children. Outside of his own family there
were many dependent upon him for support,
and one person who was once a millionaire,
would, if it were not for Mr.. Hall, have been
an object of charity. Mr.. Halls professional
income has been large, but his family ex-
penses, his disbursements on behalf Of suffer-
ing friends and other persons needing assist
ance, and investments in theatrical enter
prises, left him a very small balance. Years
ago he provided for his family in case of his
death by insuring his life; and the policy has
been increased from time to time until it now
amounts to 100000. Mrs. Hall has some
property Of her own; one daughter has
learned the trade of milliner, another is an
accomplished music teacher, third is an
educated drawing mistress and one of the
leaders at the Cooper Union Art School, The
son, bright youth of about fourteen years.
is learning printing and photography, and
was being trained by his father in the gen.
eral duties of an editor and journalist In
addition to these special branches the chill
dren Of MIR. Hall are finely educated.

His True story.
[From the Detroit Free Press.

a citizen was yesterday halted near thu
Soldiers monument by frank-taced old naI
who had Il tence picket in one hand and az
old boot in the other. He said he wanted ter
cents 10 buy bread with, and the citizen re.
piled:
81 don't know anything about you. There
are lots OF dead beats and imposters around. p"
''See here,' said the old man, as he laid the
picket and boot down, Il live on Croghan
street, and | can take you to forty men who
know it. We haven't had anything in the
house for week. Day before yesterday
began eating the pickets off the fence, while
my wife commenced on Il bedroom door.
knew everybody would think | was liar,
and so l brought one of the pickets along.
There's the marks of my teeth to show tor
themselves
''Yes, looks as if you had bitten in there, "
replied the citizen, as he scanned the picket.
II don't like 'em," continued the old man.
'Ihe slivers kinder catch as they 60 down,
and the paint gives the heartburn. After
two meals changed off on to brick bats !
see you are astonished, but truth is my motto
and here is the proof"
He pulled out piece of brick and held it
to the citizens nose. There were h-marks
and no chance for argument.
"Ihey don't agree with me, sighed the
old man. 1.-The per cent. Of nutriment does
not hardly come up to my standard, and a
bad taste fingers in my mouth. l only ate
half dozen and then changed off to old
boots. l take one like this, soak it over night
in strong lye, shake out the pegs in the morn
ing, and then we boil it with an old bone,
sprinkle in little bran, and the soup fills up
if nothing more This is the fourth old boot,
and suppose could get along all right for
week or 50, but to-day is my birthday, and
thought "a like little bread to sort O. COM
memorate the occasion.
The citizen looked at him, mouth open,
and not word to say.
Il suppose might skirmish around and
find an old piece of buffalo robe and bake it
for dinner, but if you had just as soon lend
me ten cents think I'll accept it"
The citizen handed out the money like a
man in a dream, and slowing it down in his
pocket the old man picked up the boot and
smelled of the heel, lifted up the picket and
bit off silver, and said, as he moved away
IF you ever get down to brick bats call on
me for loan.'
