that this device was first brought into use by
Salem Wines shortly after the year 1920.

man who may have assisted in the intro
duction OF this useful feature in the mod

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1893-10-19

in New York have put In nomination to be
rejected by the voters OF New York. 1t is q
matter Of common rumor in political circles
that the pecuniary necessities OF Republic
can leader. who had expected an appointlve
office from Mr.. HARRISON before the close
OF his term. and did not get It, had to be
relieved from Democratic sources, with the
result that the influence Of that Republican
leader was cast In favor OF the weakest pos
sible ticket. Nsmissing that rumor as I'M
authenticated. and perhaps erroneous. the
fact remains that the Republicans have put
up ticket remarkable chiefly for Its inner
emit and fatal weakness; and. without dis
paragement to the gentlemen upon 1t. 1t
may be said that its nomination is an az
front to the 100. 900 Republicans Of New York.
who, though in minority here. constitute
u good share Of New York best citizenship,
and are entitled to better treatment at the
hands OF their protested leaders.
