Do You know Leib-I mean Leib, of Putnam
county, at one time resident of Tampa? Leib
has lately sprung intoimportance as leader and
important factor in the Republican camp. He
has been to Washington and his importance
recognized by the magnates Of the party there.
Leib now mounts new suit OF store clothes and
presents very passable appearance and comes
United States District Attorney Mr.. Hughes,
who represents himself rs Mnister Extraordinary
to this benighted region TO throw light and cor
rect the dark ways and doings of the wicked de-
stroyers Of harmony among the faithful and pros
pective grabbers of public plumber which might
ensue IF DeGOlyer should become President by
means fair or foul
But, must return 10 Leib where left him.
Arriving here as chief assistant to the assistant
assistant of some assistant assistants assistant of
the Assistant United States District Attorney In
Brooklyn. Il have now got Leib down TO
pOintl You will recognize In Leib consequential
airs Ia and around the city. Leib pursnaded the
st. Augustine band to come mp to tie National
Hotel and serenade Simon. The band played as
they came up attracting crowd of forty or fifty
negro followers. The band played Simon in a
very brief speech acknowledged the compliment,
when Leib Gin his store clothes), so soon as Simon
finished, swung his slore hat and called for three
cheers for Goa. C0nOoer. Sorry to say naryG cheer

Can Bro. Sawyer be coming back soon TO report
progress and possibly with commission in his
pockct-would not that be hice, and stranger
things than that have happened. Sawyer has
got the party foul, and if he only has the back
bone to dmaa'id, think he could force better
terms than 500 per week from various sub
scr'oers who may 60 back on him in one or two
weeks and leave him in an ugly position. Now's
your chance, Bro. Sawyer be equal to the day
and the hour and make your oaon terms
