POLITICAL NOTES.
c. [. SImons. PruhibitiOnist. has written the
GLOBE q scathing letter on 1.-The way the
rowdy Republicans attempted to break up
the Prohibition meeting at PetersOn's hall,
on Friday night" He gives John w. Arc
lander doubl e-shotted discharge. He con-
cludeS. 1t is really amusing to see how mad
these Republicans are. Why, bless you, out
in the Eighth ward they are getting excited.
One man told me the other day that he mad
never voted Democratic ticket in his life,
bet he intended to vote it straight this fall.
Send for Blaine and send for him quickly.

A Sandberg, who was a delegate to the Re-
publican state convention. is the same Sand
berg, who. after having been alternately
drunk and sober all summer, was afterwards
posing as q temperance orator? Whether it
was the same man who shipped beer to Car
yer and sold it without a license? Whether
it was the same man who collected subscrip-
tons to fair and never accounted for them?
Or whether this was some scOundrel OF the
same name?
East side Republicans are raising great
row Win Aiu u NJ. OlOusu Ah0 WIZ 'ny
alderman, as chairman of the Twenty-ninth
district senatorial committee, gave the
Second ward the same apportionment as the
First, whereas the latter should be larger
The reason alleged is this: Mr.. Clough is
candidate for the senate, and so is E. F.
Comstoek. The First ward is for Comstock
and the Second for ClOugh. so the willy chair
man has arranged to have one as large as the
other.
In addition to the names already mentioned
the Trades assembly Endorsed Aid. B. Cloutier
for the legislature from the Thirtieth district.
As he will PROBABLY receive the Democratic
nnruinatinn- his election is assured.
