but slice out your fires and get up steam.
In this race IL the Democrats win, l be
lieve they will have TO do II without the
labor vote" In reply 10 this the esteemed
Sun frankly acknowledges that these two
hundred workmen are unquestIonably
right, so far as the tariff goes. but that
nevertheless they should vote the Demo
cratic ticket, because Brother Dana thinks
lit Is Of high importance otherwise that
the Democratic party should be main
tanned in power" The Sun has evidently
forgotten that there is no otherwise
about this campaign. II has evidently
forgotten that President Cleveland in his
message emph ASKED this fact by not re-
ferring TO any other issue but the tariff in
his message TO Congress last December.
In a subsequent message. recently sent TO
Congress. he made a hypocritical appeal
in favor of civil service reform. but the
Sun is opposed TO this. and says it can be
best brought about by the election Of
General Harrison. The question. what's
this highly important 'otnerwisei'
naturally suggests itself. Does the Sun

cost the city a damage suit at any

shade trees in many places hang too
low, also, over the walks, and should
be trimmed. There are lots of other

it is said, he insisted on not only
shaking hands with the female
of the Army, but he also
wanted to hold the hand long
enough to give it two or three
affectionate squeezes. Objection
being made to so public a demon
stration of his feelings, Shepard is
to have "cursed loud and

and that day being a nonjudicial
day, he was placed under bonds in
the sum of $50, until tomorrow,
when he will be arraigned in Justice
O'Donald's court.
