e9~We have been requested to suggest
to the citizens caucus to be held tomorrow
night, that, inasmuch as spirit of favor
iteism was manifested by the workingmen's s.
greenback-natioual caucus in nominating
one of the gospel dispenser, and ignoring
the others, Rev. Linfeld be rendered the
nomination ~ them for the office of collec-
tor and Rev. Barnard for supervisor
However, this is only suggestion.
BG~ The same national greenback- Meth
odist- workingman who was so communi
cative yesterday on the subject of Rev
Haneys candidacy, in speaking of the
prosperity of his party, said that they
were getting along gloriously, hut had dis.
covered an obstruction in the Fourth

didate for alderman for that ward. Their

to Thos. Wirsing but he could not accept al
he might be away from home part of the

Alderman Barnard has been offered the
questionable honor of nomination for re
election by the "nay-shun alrs" but de
clined. Thus are they stranded, no one
having love enough for the cause to sacri
fee himself when ignomiuious defeat Is 81
certain. Bat then it is just as we'll anC

embarrassment of exposing their weakness
