this work is loves labor lost.
Personally, as you must know, Har-
ry, I have no objections to you. dc
not doubt but that you have made a
fairly good treasurer; that you have
been an honest official ! do not for a
moment question. But, Harry, you are
in the wrong pew
When you allowed your name to &c
before the Liberal convention, when
you blushingly accepted the honors
showered upon you, you condoned all
the past rottenneSS of your party; you
gave your sanction that the same kind
of thing should be kept up for the next
two years; you said the Liberal Off
Gals were all honest and true men;
that the administration had been clean
and well-conducted. Now. didn't you?
But, Harry, my boy, you knew bet
ter. AS the custodian of the city's
finances, you signed many warrant
that in your heart you felt to be
wrong. / do not say you could have
prevented the issuance of those war
rants or the payment of them. You
simply did your duty in the premises
you simply did the clerical work bid
den by your superiors, and whose COM
mands you had no right, even though
you had the inclination, to disobey.
You were placed by virtue of the of
flee you now hold, and which you are
seeking to retain, in position where
you could not help seeing the rotten
ness of things: and your honest soul

of the proceedings.
And yet. in view of all this you are
still content to accept a nomination
and thus virtually condone all the past
misdeeds of your party. Were you on
any other ticket, Harry; were you with
a party that represented push and
progress, instead of brag and Doodle,
| should take a great pleasure in vot-
ing for you, but not now, Harry, not
nowl
Every vote cast for even you, Harry,
on the Liberal ticket means that the
voter condones the extravaganza, cor
ruption and rottenness of the Liberal
party in the past, and is anxious that
the reign Of terror in municipal affairs
should be continued. Your personal
popularity can not aid you with de-
cent people as long as you remain in
your present political company. When
young. l sat on the bleaching boards
and applauded with much delight your
agility as short-stop for the old Des-
erets; 1 have had q great admiration
for you from that day to this, but
am too loyal to the interests of good
government to cast one vote. or allow

You and I, Harry, are of the same po-
liticai faith, nationally. and some day,
when the mists of error have rolled
from your eyes; when the party of
misdeeds shall have been sunk, ''un-
wept, unhonored and unsung," as it
must certainly be shortly, we will be
found standing shoulder to shoulder in
a common cause-but until then, I bid
you a very affectionate political good
by; and want to say further that l ex-
pect many of your personal friends to
do the same.

newsboy the other morning to
street-car conductor, Cant 1 have that
ride you promised me?'
NO" was the gruff answer.
'Then you can bet your boots I'll
quit lending you my paper"
And the street car rolled on, while the
newsboy reflected upon mans inhu-
mainly to man.

The erstwhile idol of the Liberal
party, Edwin Romolus Clute, is. l un-

Nevada somewhere, awaiting the an
nexation of Utah to Nevada, when he
expects to be returned to the legisla-
ture as state senator from the Ne
vada district 1t is really too bad that
he is not here now. The party that he
did ''yeoman" service for four years
ago never needed his help so badly as
at the present time.
