The late great contest for the champion
ship of the world has had rather demon
alizing effect upon some of our local Re-
publican politicians, who are pugilistically
inclined At q select meeting of the
brethren on the Continental Hotel corner,
last Wednesday evening, some of the faith
full accused our local Sullivan of insincer-
ity, that he promised Greer; that he had
promised Kautner; and finally Kilrain
charged that he, (Sullivan) had said that
the Irish element, the Dutch element and
all the other elements wanted recognition,
but be was - glad that none of the Kids
would get there. And get there he did.
At last the boss could stand it no longer
and proceeded to walk into Jake, Pitzer
acting as second for Sullivan and Sakeman
for Kilrain. We are rou inclined to award
so easy victory to the champion as our
friend of the Independent.

letter, but Lordl it would have done You
good to have seen the letter I sent after it,
