correct statement of the differences between the
financial condition of the city during equal Pc
RODS of Democratic and Republican rule. The
figures are adroitly juggled, but can be ex'

city received 100000 worth of its bonds, which
are worth a very large premium to-day still

passage by the Senate by Republican votes, the
Democrats generally voting against it. 1t was
engineered through the House of Representa-
tives by Justus G. Adams, present Republican

preposterous, but Mr.. Pritehard sent card to
this office last night calling attention to the
matter, and urging Republicans to beware OF the
