of a pen and penhOlder with two
tubes. which project from either end
of the pen very much after the style
of the '.swizzle stick" which plays

Of the sundry refreshing beverages

GOOD ADVICE.

II is true that some Of the Clark men

We hope they will do il. but they nus
not make this bluff simply To induce
some republicans to vote for Clark. be

thin. As it stands. neither Clark nor
Dixon had il ghost of a show. The
Miners tail went mp this morning When
II L., loose a flood Of billingsgt'e tha;

and since the Miners candidate is thus
confessed to be out Of the race and SIN
anxious to beat Daily and the democrat

lean. That is the way to put a final
screw in Mr.. DAYS political coffin "hlch

would SAY: Stand by your guns. and II
YOU have 10 desert them. vote with the

dictator: he is Il worse man than DIohy'
