TIE Examiner publishes the following
as circular which it pretendS to believe
was sent through the Fourth ward the
night before the election by the Democ-
racy:
FEBRUARY 16.
MIR. --: Dear Sir-We are on the
eve of an important election. Tomorrow
shall decide whether honest Mayor Mac
Gonigle shall retain his position or whether
the corrupt enemy conquer. You are a
young man and no doubt it is very imma-
terial to you which way you vote. Would
you, for consideration, help elect Mayor
MacGonigle, say $40? Consider this we'll
and if you think it worth while, call at the
mayors Office between 8 and tomorrow
morning. Keep this secret.
Yours respectfully,
FOURTH WARD DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
OF course this is a clumsy forgery. No
such circular was ever printed, written
or circulated by the Democratic commit
tee of that or any other ward no such
offers were ever made, directly or indi-
rectly, by any branch or part of the
Democratic organization. If any such
idea had been contemplated of course no
such circular would have been issued, to
expose the nefarious business. But it is,
we repeat, base forgery. If it was
written, printed or circulated it was done
by Republicans to create prejudice
against the Democracy and injure the
party. Considering that some of the
leaders of that party have been caught
in the forgery of naturalization papers
and in the issue of bogus tax-receipts,
the forgery Of such circular as the
above would not be hesitated at for a
moment.

ola pair of grade Shor:l,orn oxen, four years

Why He Must Take u Back Seat

Harry Schroyer need not get excited
that he was not elected to councils. He
was not deserving Of reelection, nor tit for

to read this letter, written by Schroyer,

lest it might have a bad effect. to appear to
