louis propositions: He said yesterday that
while he had some talk with Mr.. Mayo
about his aspirations there was no such
thing as bonus of $1,000 mentioned. He
repeated the statement that Mayo asked
him as they were standing in a saloon on
Leldesdorf street about the chances for
his getting nomination. 49,

that II he was in the hands of Mr.. Cnre-

The whole affair. was sized up in a
philosophical way by one OF the colon l's
own lieutenants in the Baldw Hotel
lobby last evening. He was not speaking
for publication. and so was not yery ct1 dice
in smoothing his opinions down.

ought to have more sense than to make
such roar. Why. he's no politician al
all. and guess hereafter ne had better
steer clear of the boys. for none of them
will have any use for him. Work? OF
course there's work being done by any one
who wants an Office. Why. a fellow must
be a chump indeed to think we fellows

and help him in every,.way do it all 10 81
