CITY NEWS.

Alderman Reiman! The public
would like to know why Water street

The crosswalks of the city need
considerable attention. In many
cases they are practically useless in

they can possibly be serviceable.

They We're Surprised.

Visitors to the city were surprised
to find that the Alamo plaza was in
such disgraceful condition and still
more surprised to find no crosswalk
from the street car track to the opera
house and no way of crossing the
plaza in muddy weather except by
going all round it. The censure they
gave us was certainly justified and
the city council should see that these
anomalies should cease to exist.

NO wonder Grand COmmander Quay of

that not only Blaine, but Harrison himself

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

Were II necessary TO do 1t, nothing could
more thoroughly demonstrate the utter
decay and decrepitude of the republican
party In the county than the action of their
county convention on Tuesday last. Think

Wash. Bushnell, G. Fl. Hook, &c, &C.,

A CAMPAIGN OF LIES.

publican stumper, from King" Blaine
down to Rev. MIR. Shay, is able to summon
up enough honesty to give just one fair
statement of the Democratic position ON the
tariff questions BY sort Of common con-
sent every one of them, when he ap
proaches that point, systematically falsitles
and perverts. Their uniform line of talk Is
that of Gen. Harrison to a gathering at
Fort Wayne last week on his return from
his outing on an island In Lake Erie. He
said:
