mugwump and civil service reformer of
Maryland, has had enough of Cleveland,
and has declared for Harrison and ad-
ministrative reform that has no hypoc-
ricy about it. The German brand of
Mr.. Bonapartes face, and he does not

To Grover Cleveland: And so YOU
have gone off blue fishing for a day or
two. That's all right and we trust YOU
will have splendid luck. But, a word in
your ear. You made tremendous
mistake when you attempted to catch
the American people with a free-trade
tishline. You may not suspect it, Mr..
President, but the American people are
not gudgeons.-N. y Tribune.

Is Henry George, an ardent supporter of
the administration. declaring over his
own signature: 1.-The free wool clause
embodies the most important provision

1t is estimated that between wool
growers, the men employed by them and

The question before the people is not /
how and how much they want 10 be I

be turned into a stamping ground for /
European middlemen for the destruction i
of American workingmen without bene- /

the true statement of the issue
