publicans should take a great deal of pride. /
have read il over carefully, and / regard it as
one of the most remarkable political papers

haps accounts for his action. Some of the
Democratic leaders affect to believe that Butler
VIII not receive more than 1900 or 1900 in

Democrat be enthusiastic over Cleveland"
Smith M. Weed, Of New York City, has been
officially appointed as one of a star-chamber,
d~ark-lsntern committee to conduct the inside
