The Meanest Man in the World.

A Columbia professor says that the
alleged mcanest man in the world was
pointed out to him in Chicago. Hitherto
it has been supposed that he lived in
New York. He is named Hunham, and
owns a trac. OF several acres in Ken
wood, a handsome suburb of the windy
city. He has steadily refused to sell or
to allow any improvement. Streets,
however, were pat through his prop
erty, for which he was duly assessed.
Under our law this would be difficult in
New York city without the owners
consent. Witness One Hundred and
Eighth street, now covered by Lion
Park, east of ninth avenue. To revenge
himself for the assessment, this expo

We are in period Of our country's
history when it is directly necessary
that the men whom we elect to office
should be sincere, honest, capable men
IN whom we, as n people, can place un-
bounded faith and confidence. Men
who will represent the whole people
and not simply the interests of few.
The welfare of the common class
should be the first interest of those
who are elected to public place, and be-
cause we know that William f. Biery,
De nocratic candidate for the legisla-
ture is an honest, sincere advocate Of
equality to all, and because VIC know
that he is positively against all meas
ures likely to legalize or create com
bines, trusts and kindred eXcresences,
is why we urge the people Of the
county to give him an earnest support.
With his wide knowledge of affairs, his
excellent parliamentary training, his
integrity and honesty in all things he
will represent Carbon county and her
1000 to 5000 voters with dignity and
intelligence. Mr.. Biery has not made
a canvas for this important office in a
lying and vicious manner. He has
gone straight to the people and ap-
pealed to them for support in a manly
creditable way, so that even those who
will not vote for him, will always
speak of him as a gentleman in every
sense Of the word and will not deny
that he Is we'll fitted for the Office, not.
