The few "kickers" remaining in the city,

mise" repudiate both it and Col. Brady,
and say that it's effect will be to make those
kick VINO never kicked before, and those who

&c If out of the party. have kicked myself
into Office" Better defeat thousand times,
thew say, than that they should consent to
abide by an agreement ma by man who
would talk 10 this way about them, and
who, besides, WAS never authorized by them
TO speak for or make auy agreement for
them, and who, having used them TO get
warm place for himself leaves all of them out
