Warner Miller can do the wrong thing
at the right time with more success than
any other politician in this country, ex-

Hardly. If the Cleveland delegates
were to stay away, how would the two
thirds rule work itself out?
York Wednesday. The delegates In Chi
cago should be careful how they use
rammany whisky.
The sixty-nine carloads Of New York
and Brooklyn Democrats have probably
taken with them sixty-nine times enough
TO blow the fiimsy wigwam into match
timber. They're dangerous.

break his blue pencil if he tried to pry

IL looks as though the Isaac r. Gray

smothered to death. New York Press.
No. Caught typhoid malaria off the
scummy Chicago river. That black and
infamous stream beats the Ingeanny
ague swamps out of sight.
The report that Gov. Boies eats with
his knife is probably the fgment of a rival
favorite sons imagination. After the
first ballot nothing more will be heard of
it.-Boston Herald.
The report rests upon the excellent
authority of the Chicago Herald. 1t is
shrewdly suspected that Farmer Horace
does it on purpose to attract votes and
does not at all object to its being
known.
The 21-footer, Alpha, vindicated the

IN. Y. World.
Right. Go ahead. And the Demo-
cratic platform is the Democratic record
for the past three years-a record which
includes the theft of New York,

Just Mt present there are tons OF paper
and ink being used TO tell just why Blaine
was defeated The different reasons as
signed are very interesting, no doubt, but

high tariff man. Democrats know a
lot about Republican politics, but un.
luckily most of the things they know
aren't true.
