DIDN'T GET LEFT:

Mayor Weston Does Little Hustling ut St
Louis for His Town.
The Detroit Free Press yesterday con-
tanned the following dispatch from ST.
Louis. probably written by F. Homer Hos
ford:
The delegates from Eastern Michigan will
arrive tomorrow morning and the Western
delegates by the special train from Chicago
tomorrow sftsrnoon. They will find their
spacious quarters decorated with patriotic
munifcence. Chairman Weston engaged a
decorator to hang out his brightest bunt-
ing In that part of the hotel, and the Michi-
gan headquarters are garlanded with ban
ners and words of greeting. Pictures OF
President and Mrs. Cleveland, Mr.. Dickin-
son, the Presidents Cabinet. the National
Committee, and of the Michigan Congress
men adorn the walls and give the rooms
decidedly loyal appearance. The rooms
are fourteen in number and embrace
large reception rooms, the private
apartments engaged by d. j. Campau
for himself and friends at the rooms OF
Chairman Weston, and those engaged for
other members of the delegation. No State
in the Union is so well quartered as Michi-
gan will be. Mysterious looking packages
were sent anonymously to the Chairmen OF
different State delegations this afternoon.
Upon examination there were found GER
tain copies of a most villainous pamphlet
attack upon President Cleveland, purport-
ing to come from an Empire State Demo
crat. 1t has aroused the most bitter indig-
nation here. and the perpetrator of this
wanton assault is denounced in the strongest
language possible by delegates from all
parts of the country. The circular, which
purports to be written in the interest OF
Governor Hill, is evidently Republican
product which is given this eoloring 20
cover its source. 1t is brutally and vul-
carly written. All the worn out and de-
cayed ISLANDERS of the campaign of 1884 are
renewed, and the outrageous document
closes with grosser fslsehoods in italics.
This pamphlet deserves TO rank as the
most infamous political production of the
century.
In the allotment of the seats In the part
Of the hall reserved for working reporters
of the press the local committee reserved no
seats for the Grand Rapids newspapers.
When Mayor Weston found that the great
est city in the universe had been neglected
in this base manner he hurried his stubby
sturdy legs down to the headquarters Of
the committee and fired an elephsntine
kick. Didn't the Grand Rapids papers
iile applications for seats with the Press
COMMITTEES" asked the citizen in charge.
mo, they left il to me-" well, they will
stand pad show of getting anywhere"
laconicslly answered the citizen.
We'll see about that" replied Weston
and be moved out in great haste, with
some wrath manifest in his face.
