ANNOYING GROCERS
David A. Body, vino is trying to beat Henry A.
McSer for Mayor OF Brooklyn, is finding that MS
record is rising up against him and out OF MS own
mouth he is receiving the strongest condemnation
In a speech in 1882, when he was running for Con
gres, AGAINST the candidate Of the Mclaughlin Ring
he said IN public speech. No selfrespecting Dem
ocrat would accept position under McLaughlEi'
Yet at the bidding Of the Boss who has
not changed his character and methods MI boouS l
down his seat I'm Congress, for holding which ne nau
already been paid 81 800. with the expectancy that
he would perform the duties for which he had been
elected to exchange places with Mayor Chaplin No
wonder that he has little heart to discuss local
issues and has thus far said nothing In regard 10
the matters engrossing public attention IN the cam
paiQn Mr. Body showed his cringilg TO the BOSS
whcn after embarking heartily in the Ballot helorih
movement in 1880, he hastily abandoned 1t as soon
as Governor Hill had Indicated TO Mclaughlin his
disapprOyal OF the measure as fathered by the he-
publicans and Independent Democrats.
Not content with trying to malign Henry n
Meyer as q grocer, the Democratic authorities nave
resored to petty annOyances which are designed 10
affect him and all grocers who support NM Inc
privileges OF keeping cOalboXes on the siue"'iNS
