that savored somewhat of factional fights
were merely the political erating pro-

is neat one. Congratulations to the

Honey and n few others who had per-
sonal ends to serve.-Telegram.
And Honey? Did he get "aerated ?"
And the process (; wasn't it made par
ticularly effective and complete by
everybody kicking everybody else up
into the air? It's a great scheme, this
Democratic aeration.
The action of the convention in regard
to national politics was all that could be
desired by the Cleveland wing of the
Democratic party.-Journal.

was predicted that New Bedford would
perish of inanition, but instead the city

every reason TO believe that such an affair
could be made as great financial success
spects.-Newport Observer.
The State is so compact, so homogene-
ous, so rich in manufactures, so blessed

This was quite good world to live in
before corporations, trusts, millionaire
capitalists and rapacious spectators got
