Cleveland's election, even when tne Rs.
publicans thought they were making great
gains. He had $50 moe in his pocket TO
Get but no one was found to take it.
A crowd of wild Republicans got pic
tares of cons, and stuck them in their

selves hoarse for Golf, When they knew
nothing about the State ticket. 1t doesn't
take much to enthuse some Republicans.
