THE ASTONISHING REVOLUTION
In the East settles stalwartism and
bossism in at least two of the most pop

belief of all thinking men that the day
is not distant when we will be called
upon to attend the political obsequies
OF every public man who has proven a
better servant of the railroad and bank
people than of those con6diug electors
WHO have been so shamelessly betrayed.

WHAT WAS CALLED AN ELECTION
Might not prove altogether uninterest-
ing. In the first place, the number Of
men who were illegally transferred
from other counties was sufficient to
elect two, if not three, of the K. X.
Legislative candidates. Secondly, the
wholesale purchase of every thief and
hummer, as well as the Italians and
those other pests Of everything decent,
known as North American Cinnamon,
from the other side of the st. Lawrence
and the lower lakes, was another cause
of r. K. success. The Nova Scotians
also, after having for weeks and months
made the loudest professions OF loyalty
to the cause of the Fusionists, fell down
into the dirtiest slum when the time
came for them to show that they were
worthy to be called freemen-another
logging contract was the probable price
paid for this band OF traitors to the
peoples cause. On Sunday evening
before the election, there met in the
old theater, in the rear of Gus. Lewis

Presided over by Gillhooley, the man
~ who sought for the nomination for
Sheriff ON the Fusion ticket, and when
defeated, announced his intention to
vote the straight II. K. ticket. This
club, which was only subordinate to,
and part Of, the original X T.. club,
organized before the primaries we're
held, was composed OF 20 human cattle,
who placed themselves in the market
at ten dollars per head. There we're

They continued in session, drinking
and carousing until 2 o'clock ia the
morning. Another, and the most POI

the ID. o. Mills and 90. sack ia the
