ut caucus, it may safely be estimated that
the other factions are holding Unanimous .
meetings somewhere else. When both fac
tions attend caucus the losing side always
bolts. The only fair caucuses ever held are
those held by the winning side. The losing
side never heard of q fair caucus. The places
selected for csucusss are usually small so
that but Ebout one voter in ten can gain sd
mittance. The other nine voters in ten usu.

Gus was not fair. Caucus obligations is a
phrase used only by the successful faction,
and is supposed to be bieding only on that
side. Regular ticket is the title of the
ticket made by the party capturing the eau

cites. chew tobacco stand around street
corners and be insoent TO all passers-by. The
police have everyday to lock some of them
up or threaten them with arrest for some of
these offenses. The city bill-poster suffers
more at their hands than any other indi-
vidual. His boards are placed in the most
prominent places throughout the city. He
receives large sums of money from theatrical
troupes, circuses, and all who desite to adj
vertise BY flaming bill posters. The other
day the bill poster had hardly c,mplated bis

formers are either cut out with knives or shot
out with toy pistols. What when first put
up was attractive to the eye is no longer so.
Even the date, when the circus is to come to

Robinson comes 10 the city with his show
