When Republican organs talk about
spontaneous choice of the people, in refer

why James A. Garfield is the presi-

were spent to corrupt voters, ia close

health officers of the city are puzzled by
deserving that those parts of the city
usually considered most healthful are
most affected. Leading physicians in the
