The pot calls the kettle black when Mr..
Jay A. Hubbell, ex.Congressman of Michi-
gan, talks about "bosses" The ex-Chair-
man of the National Republican Committee
is in San Francisco. He there fell into the
clutches of Gail reporter, and had the
bad taste to permit his views of the pros
poets of the Republican party to be sent to

publican candidates for the Presidential
nomination in 1884, he fixes upon General
Grant as the most available nominee, and
he thereupon proceeds to disclose the news
