DIDN'T LIKE THE "TEXTS."
Bridgeport Republicans Oppose the Cir culation of Eepmblican Sneeches.

bfiuSepOft Republicans Oppose the Cir
 culation of Republican Speeches.
 There was a republican meeting in Hawes' opera house in Bridgeport Monday night, and as the voters approached the hall they were rendered each a copy of Tariff Texts" by man who stood upon the sidewalk. The little pamphlet thus distributed contained quotations bearing on the tariff from messages of republican presidents, reports of republican secre- tarles of the treasury and speeches of re publican senators and congressman, and also some extracts from President Cleve- lands messages. The republicans were angered at this distribution of the docu- ment, and secured the arrest of the distri- butor under an almost forgotten city ordi- nance forbidding the distribution of print ed matter upon the sidewalks or in the parks. At the police office the man was released, with a reprimand He returned to the scene and obtained permission to occupy part of the doorway of the saloon in the opera house building, from which point he handed out the documents. He was again arrested, but was released when it was shown that he was not trespassing on the sidewalk. The Bridgeport Farmer says that republicans have circulated cam paign documents at democratic meetings ln that city without Interference.

BelYa Lockwood

has been nominated for President. Her platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being a potent factor, She demands as starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and thinks they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger & Co possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time a company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like a reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbours goods, thereby proving Shon- inger's popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water, fippecanoe- and-Ty1er-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success. We have taken her advice and are doing more business than all the rest put together Examine our stock.
