Hubbell's Headquarters.
SQIFNN FSTIPII ICuNpNr

ADJUSTMENT.
About the only thing left to mark the republi-
can Congressional campaign committee is lot OF
old paper for the junk dealer, and the faithful
sign, "No conundrums answered here" This
seems now to be quite appropriate. The banner
upon which republican victories were to be in
scribcd. and which had recorded upon it Maine
and Oregon" has been torn from the wall and is
trailing in the dust in a back room. There is
1unereal quiet about the Headquarters, and no one
seemingly In charge.
The story goes that Mr.. Jay Hubbell was badly
fooled in the allotment OF his campaign fund
Upon the theory that the republican losses in the
north could be made up in the south, the bulk of
the money raised was sent into southern districts,
where 1T was either wholly misappropriated or
wasted.
