We, the undersigned officers OF the ex-

for the suppression of the dives, having
carefully examined the facts as appearing
upon our records respecting the relation of
the woman's auxiliary committee to our

| and suffers to knife Easton. and to have all
their efforts concentrated on electing O'Don-
nell for Mayor.
This Is no supposition, but a cold fact,
sifted and investigated un I'll there is not the
least doubt about 1t.
Third street, between Market and Mission,
was literally thronged last night wth the
toughest-looking crowd OF opium fends and
criminals ever concentrated outsid, of a
jail.
1t looked as If every prison In the State
had been empted 10 supply recruits for the
Third-street gang.
And every one Of these roughs and touebs
shouted, "What is the matter with O'Dop-
nell? He is all rightP'
That proved conelusively what already
was known-namely, that Easton had been
shamefully betrayed by the unscrupulous
saloon -keepers.to whom he had entrusted his
fate.
The news of the treachery practiced by
Crimmins and Mike de Young reached the
ears of the politicians around town early in
the afternoon, but it was not fully confirmed
until last night.
The first indication that was had of the
wholesale desertion OF Easton was received
By the sight of two Chronicle reporters
running around town trying to get bets that
Ellert would not be elected Mayor.
So anxious were these two young men to
place large amounts, which latter were, by
the By. quickly covered, that suspicion
arose promptly.
Everybody knew the two reporters were
not capitalists. and II soon became known
about that they were betting Mixes money.

Mr.. Flood and Mr.. Burton toward Mrs.
Gray, who appeared on behalf of the
Women's Auxiliary, Is totally false.
Mr.. Burton simuly said, "tns is our meet
ing and cannot be disturbed" and how il
IS possible for any one 10 state that Mrs.
Gray was in danger of being struck by Mr.
Flood appears unaccountable to me.
There Is only one conclusion 10 be reached
from such report of such a meeting and
that Is that there is a determined and care
fully planned effort 10 break the ranks of
the NOn-Partisans by misleading the public
mind as far as possible by misstatements.
Misrepresentation cannot stand before the
truth.
This day will seal the fate of the dives.

Now everybody knows Mike is reluctant
to part with the almighty dollar.

So when the men who were watching the
ting up coin they felt confident that Job

Investigations were made and the fact was
definitely ascertained that the Kelly Grim

had become traitors and decided TO throw
Easton. whose election they considered out
of the question.
As matter of course steps were at once
taken to notify every Republican of what
had been done. and great was the lndigna-

vindictive action against Ellert, except that
Mike de Young has bet money that the

orders to vote for O'Donnell instead of
Easton.
There was howl of Indignation among
the Union Leaguers and the Federal brig
ade when they heard of the outrageous
manner In which they were being betrayed.
and there is not the least doubt but all the
respectable vote intended for Easton will
go to Ellert. for the decent Republicans will
not be trlfled with by any set of traitors
who. for selfish reasons. at the last moment
sacrifice everything TO gain their own mean,
spteful ends.
In trading EastOn for O'Donnell the
Republican party has reached the climax of
political rottenness and treaehery. Never
before In the history Of the city has such
an act been recorded, but the Third-street
traitors are capable of anything In the way
OF trickery and fraud. They would sell
their own souls rather than suffer defeat
They betray man whom they nominated
ct their convention and pledged to support.
Not only that, but they took his money for
campaign purposes and allowed him to
spend other sums in carrying on the fight.
He was heartily indorSed uD to the eve OF
battle, and then when they saw they could
not win their cand idate was basely sacrificed

A certain amiable young housewife who
presides over comfortable suite OF apart
ments in Harlem is convinced that there is
such thing as being too neighborly. Her
neiRhbors on the floor above convinced her.
When the aforesaid neighbors moved into
the building this amiable housewife consid-
erately sent her neatly aproned domestic
upstairs to inquire if there was anything she
could do to add TO the comfort of the new
corners. Down came prompt request for
the loan OF hammer and stewpan. When
the stewpan was returned il was cracked,
but that did not deter "the peighbors" from
asking Tor bar Of soap and a few matches.
The latter articles they forgot to return.

steadily and did not get a real out-and- out

daughter Of ''the neighbor's" family came

stating that ner mother had unexpected
guests for dinner, asked the loan of a pie for
