THE RECKLEssNEss OF WESTERN PREVARICA

THE RECKLESSNESS OF WESTERN PREVAR1CA
TORS EQUAL ONLY TO THEIR INGENUITY.

sumably from somo Democratic sheet published there
about was recently sent The Tribune with the re-
quest that The Tribune answer IT, The seeker for
truth added that such statements were published
every day IN Western Democratic papers. The clip
ping refers the town Of Nyack, in this state.
Democratic editors out West, for obvious reasons, ma
it safer to tell campaign "whopperS7 about places
and people long distance off. The writer says Oh
Nyach: Every manufacturer there except two IS
for Cleveland. Tho president of the Cleveland ana
Thurman Club there Is the largest manufacturer OF
steel car springs in the country and employs an In
mense number Of hands All the shoe manufacturers,
sh;pb builders hat factory proprieors. boiler manu-
facturcrs and cvory man who employs latoring men
in Nyack except two, have put their names In tho
Democratic club list

that he had shot $50 pigeons IN one day, and when
oshcd why he did not claim round thousand replied
Indignantly Think I'd tel lie for the sake OF one
miserable pigeon N So this writer eases his con-
science by concedng two manufacturers to the Re
publicans and claims all the rest for tho Democrats.

Tic statement that every man who employs iaborins
