putting on Senator BAYARD's shroud as

The lottery people have evidently made

the question Of selecting a suitable place for

agltated there is no city on GoD's foot
"stool that needs something of this sort 50
"badly as Philadelphia to enlighten and
"get civilization into It," This was rough
on the Fourth ward element Of that city,
which is composed Of Mr. ScoTT's friends.
The danger of still further lessening what
civilization was there actuated the commit
tee to select the Queen City as a more suit
able place, rs the beer was as good and its
proximity more convenient to the Kentucky
