scented of the whole Administration-Pre
sident, Cabinet and principal officers

political speeches and performing partisan
work, but has any one of these gentlemen
applied to himself the rule SO strictly
enforced against the workingmen, has any
one of them been docked for the
time thus spent away FROM bis

made from their fat salaries2 Not much

Workingmen, do not allow yourselves to
be deceived by false professions of Repub-

Hancock. The Republican employers
have descended in some instances TO the
meaaest intimidation to stiff the voice of
workingmen; the milIionaires of Philadel

awakened by strong odor OF burning pine
in their residence, No. SIG Brady street,
Mr.. Price hurried down stairs and from
out the parlor came heated air as though
the door were a furnace register-and
when he stepped upon ii e parior floor,
found it hot, covered with carpet though
it was as girGiron-and the house was
filing with smoke. Mr. Price stepped out
side and cried fire to arouse the neigh
bora, and saw the glare of the flames on
the basement windows. Officer Flint and
the private Waterman of the district were
soon on hand, garden hose was run to a
cellar window, and water played on the
fire. Meanwhile the neighbor gathered,
and there was an attempt to move furni-
ture. The smoke was SO dense inside that
nobody could stay there without wet
handkerchief over mouth and nosttils. The
small hose was brought inside as the
flames was streaming through the floor,
and so the fire was kept down until the
Hope Hose arrived. and big stream

minutes-while the bells kept ringing. all

pile of kindling wood IN the basement,

floor four feet wide, charred all the rest
Of tho parlor door, underneath, damaged
