portion of the state yesterday, and lost
no time in demonstrating to all listen

ward, who has been hard Republican
worker all his life, says he cannot
swallow the Mckinley bill He tried to
stay with the sinking ship, but when
they hoisted the high tariff sail he
struck out through the waters of
taxation for revenue only, and reached
the Democratic shore in safety. Hence
forth he will be found in the ranks of
the party OF the people, and will sup
port the straight Democratic ticket
from its head to the last name, and his
earnest effort will surely aid in carrying
the Sixth ward to grand majority.

stein, of the Republican executive COM
mIttee:

presumptous the part of political
committees TO assume the perform
ance or dictation of any duties
which by law devolve upon the
common council, which body is elected by
the people. and is to them responsible for all
its acts. our committee believe theeCAmop
council to ne composed of capable and hon.
orable men, who are competent to select
l. proper Judges OF election without the aid
of partisan <oYlmittees, and that this duty
will be performed il n conscientious manner.
