Kew USE FOR THE BICYCLE.

IN UNFIT NOMINATION.

Mr. ]. ]. Van Allen. n millionaire, has
been nominated M Ambassador to Italy.
There are rumors that Mr.. Van Allen
subscribed $4,000 to the Democratic
election fund last year on the pledge
from somebody that he should receive
this diplomatic honor.
II IL also said that Mr. Van Allen
paid money TO be elected President OF
the Democratic Club at Newport to
seemingly strengthen his claim on the
Democratic party
OF course all such stories must be
taken with certain degrees OF allow
ance But Mr.. Van Allen Is nominated
for the Italian mission. and II Is quite
certain that he Is an unfit person to
represent the American Republic in a
diplomatic or any other position. He Is
not an American, except by the acct
dent Of birth. He thinks the United
States no At place for ladies' and gen
