all that time he had not lost n single run over

he was curious to know why and he wrote TO the
Department at Washington, asking if any charges
had been made against him. The answer came
back promptly: " | take pleasure in assuring you

OF course "The Argus knows that no shadow
of right exists for credting Grover Cleveland to

fact that the President abandoned his citizenship
in this State some time ago, and that as a citizen
of the District of Columbia he viii have no vote
at the coming election. 4 few of the Democratic
editors hedge by emitting all reference to
locality in connection with either name on the

the whole truth and announced Grover Cleve-

a matter of minor morals but it shows an in
