Coming Contest.
In a recent interview Congressman
Grosvenor, OF Ohio, who has taken the
stump in the congressional campaign,
speaks as follows upon the tactics OF
the democratic party:
"There are increasing indications
that the democratic congressional
campaign committee intends to re-
sumo the campaign Of deception OF
last year. The country storekeepers
are to be made the medium through
which misleading information Is to be
communicated to the voters. Money
Is to be used to compensate the store
keepers for not increasing the price Of
sugar, although the trust has already
marked up the price. In addition, the
latest proposition is placard to be
hung in all the crossroads stores in
the country, and especially in districts
where the margin Of votes is narrow
one. This placard is to contain list
of the articles upon which prices have
been reduced las it will be claimsd) by
