GOSSIP OF THE FRAY.

When the Democratic voters of the
Third ward remember the Importance
of the issue, they Will rally unit to the
support of that gallant Democratic
leader of the Scandinavian element. j.
August Nilsson. Mr.. Nilsson will vote
for Democratic United States senator,
and Grier NJ. Orr will vote for a Repub
lican. Does not the Importance of this
one thing transcend all other
interests with the poor men who are
taxed to support the Republican monop-
| Olists and trusts and combines? Orr
favors perpeluation Of the coal tax
robbery, for 1t is in the interests of the
Republican party. lie will vote for 4
| United States senator, If elected, who
| will use his voice, influence aud vote to
| protect a Carnegie and TO create a horde
of Fricks. Were it not for the Nc
! Kinley law the wage worker would not
be forced to pay tribute to Carnegie,
and the armed Pinkerton forces would
find their occupation gone and they
would be compelled to seek honest toll
for livelihood. Here is an issue that
the Third ward citizens should re-
member when they go to the polling
booths on Tuesday.
The agents of the Republican central
committee have visited the Russian set
tlemeDt in the Sixth ward. Doodle is
plentiful, but will these Jews sell their
citizenship for few paltry dollars?
That they have accepted corruption
money, there is no longer any doubt, for
one of their number has given the
scheme away. But they should be adj
yised that when they 20 into the secret
booths on Tuesday that they are abso-
lutely protected from the cOrruptIonlsts
by the Australian system of voting.
The ballot is secret, and it can never be
known how the voter marks it. for there
is heavy penalty for any Judge OF
election making any sort OF mark OH
the ballot when it is handed out by
which it may be identified when the
box is opened at the close of the polls.
The Republican schemes to capture
the house of representatives on Tues
dap have been pretty well exposed in
these columns. In the Sixth ward the
effort Is perhaps more pronounced than
in any other district. This is because
that ward is pretty reliably Democratic.
The Republicans are sparlng no eX-
penSe to secure the next house. They
have not the senate, and they are
frantic in their efforts to elect senator,
and they are ready to pay the campaign
expenses of any so-called Democrat who
will run independent. True Democrats
will vote for that loyal nominee of the
Democratic legislative convention, John
V. |. DOdd, however. and he will be
elected.
''There is not clothing dealer in the
United States that does not know that
the Mckinley bill has not increased the
IL.
by one of the most reliable and upright
clothiers in the city. "Let me illustrate"
he pursued. Here is $l5 suit of
clothes. To all appearances it is the
same suit that we sold for that money
before this tariff bill became a law.
But it isn't. See here; this lining is
good deal cheaper. 1t is largely cotton.
There is a suit of Sl3. Before this law
went into effect that was all wool,
but now cotton is mixed IN, and
so it is all the way through our
stock. 1t is absurd to say that
we can sell the same quality and style
of goods for the same money that we
could before Mckinley had his pet
passed. There is not dealer in the
country, as have SAID before, that does
not know this fact, and they would all
be willing to go on record were it not
for the fact that we are doing business
with Republicans as we'll as with Dem
Ocrats. That is the reason that our lips
are sealed and we are forced to submit
to the robbery. True, we are making
the same profits that we were making
before the measure went into effect, but
it is because of the poorer quality we are
compelled to sell, that appears to be as
good as the goods we sold before. It's
an imposition"
