I'D. ApvANcK:-I have n little
more business with "Old Girls.
SOM In referring to Republicans
ne makes no distinction. He in
cludes all. He seems to forget that
there are Republicans belonging to
his church and they are men Of
conscience and men who pay rs
much to support the church and their
minister as any Democrat belong
ing to their class; and they are men
who, in my opinion, enjoy rs much
religion as eyer "Old Grissom" did
III mistake not sold Grissomr
used to write for the Wayne Ne,rs
under the name of."I. X. Pect." and
the letter that ! am referring to is
not a fair sample ofthat gentlcman's
writing, because he does not slur
and slang the Republicans as much
as he usually does. Nearly
four years ago he attacked DR.. A.
Workman through (then the WAYNE
Adcocdtc) the Wayne Ne,cs. and
without the shadow of an excuse
more than that Mr.. Workman was
a Republican. l presume the DIR.
would not have cared for the matter
II the writer had confined himself TO
the Dr.'s political character, but he
Guided the Dr.'s private character.
He intruded on grounds that he had
no right on. / have never been SO
fortunate as to sec one decent letter
from that worthy vet, neither under
the name of"I. X. Pect'' or .Old
Grissom." They all have the same
sounding. Now, wish to ask "Old
Grissom," inasmuch as he is a
professor of religion and licensed
exhorter in his church, is il
christian fellowship TO use such
unkind expressions as you do to-
ward the Republicans Is it wise
in you, who are watching and pray
ing to God to lead us in the light
and not allow political matters to
come before the church and bcfog
our minds and bias our judgement, to
express yourself in that wayi If
so, | have very mistaken idea of
christianity.

THINK THEY HAVE CLEWS.
Detectives Say the Recent Burglaries We're
Committed by an Organized Gang.

The police are making every possible effort to
have been working successfully for month.
and the detectives of tho force think they have
some cews that will lead TO the arrest of the
men. 1t was the belief for some time that the
work was all being done by Juvenile thieves,
but since the two street-car drivers have been
attacked and robbed by q gang
of men the officers have concluded
that there must be an organized gang Of profess
sional thieves in the city. The latter theory
has been strengthened by the fact that almost a
