JUNE EXCURSIONS AND EN-
TREATMENTS.

Presidential campaign or l582 u one Of the HunS
straws that are pointing to certain and Overwhelming
Democratic defeat In November. When the nomination
Of Harrison and Reid was flashed The wires,
number OF Harlem Republican clubs got out Harrison
and Reid hampers within twelve hours in front OF
their headquarters and several OF the clubs heio r
acauon NEE ,incs the same night When the news
OF the Republican nominations received ID THIS
city, the James c. Blaine Club Of Harlem caed
spcoal meeting BY means Of special messengers ior
there was no time for postal cards and thnt same GHt
the hall Of the club crowded with enthusiastic hc'
while cheer after cheer went up ior hairisoh "'u
Reid, whose nominations were ratified In mo>' ON
phat!c resolutions that same night. Other larian
R.pub,,can clubs did the same thing, and nearly all
the Republican organizations north OF Ffty-nhl'h-
st. and south Of Harlem River held rousing rat'hcauon
meetings within five days after the nominations were
made.

fed; "he declared himself we'll pleased with the
result OF the Chicago Convention: THE StuSVesah'
Democratic Cub seemed well pleased with the NOM
nation etc That night the Democrats sauntered arouho
to their favorite clubs IN possibly larger numbers
than on ordinary nights. and the first thing 'heN
wanted TO know " Who Is Adlai T.. cteVehsohi

The Democratic party as Vice President on the Demo-

Ycs. I know all about Adai f. Stevenson. know
too much about him. He is the man who while tlrS'
Assistant Postmaster General under Cleveands Al
minstration was covertly opposed TO the eishthour
law and he worked against the letter carriers III
the most underhand way imaginable You can JUST
bet your bottom dollar that every letter carrier KNOWS
enough about A. f. Stevenson and foo much 10 take
him as a candidate on the Democratic Ticket can
vote that ticket lie went out of t'p' ciuproofns
shaking the Democratic dust of his feet ami threat
