True to it's traditions rs Blaine organ,

G. crow much for wiping out a parcel
OF pismies. Newport Observer
hardly know whether to hold in least
regard the opinion of the /" distinguished
diplomat" quoted, or of the Obseruers
rejoinder. The former makes an as

as sympathizing with the Chilean con-

representing the South American States
as parcel of pigmies." On the water.

formidable.
When Mayor Grant was made sheriff
by Dick Croker, boss of the Tammany
ring, he made a present to Croker of
$4,000, What has Flower paid for the
Tammany nomination for Governor!-New
York Press.
A great many thousand dollars more
