1t is amazing how much the democrat
ic handbill would like to stir up a strife
in the republican party. They have got
onto that game, J erry, and they don't take
any stock in it. Try something new.
The people of this city aren't tearing
their shirts over the "demagogue' busi-
ness. nor are they over "Jerry the strad-
der We can give the names of twenty
democrats who said that it was very fit
ting.
The Rev. Wang of Alpine, Mich, will
preach to the Scandinavians and others in

gan.
The handbill says the royal arch de-
gree was conferred upon Harry Ring

the handbill is constantly making, Harry
Ringwald not having taken single Ma
sonic degree.

MIR. Luther's sampling rooms are as ell

display cases are of solid cher

his cheek, with the genial smile that ever
parts his innocent lips,are captivating the
boys by battalions.
Last nights handbill doesn't say one
word in favor of Hon. j. X. Toole, it's
party leader. It is remembered that
three years ago Jerry violently attacked
him in the River Press and it took a big
pile of democratic Doodle to get even a
lukewarm support from Jerry. AS Jerry
is evidently sulking we will say-laying
politics aside-that Mr.. Toole is very
pleasant gentleman to meet and when he
spoke of the Tribune as being on the
fence he told very plain truth. Mr..
Toole's speech in congress was highly
