How the Democrats Propose to Garry Ward 4

How the Democrats Propose to Garry Ward 4.
A rumor waited from the treasurer of the
Democratic ring into Ward I to the effect
that they should carry the ward at the
spring election if it cost $500, created a
little hope in the hearts of those voters who
hunger for vote buying as Esau did for the
pottage. Meanwhile, as a sort of retainer
the heelers decided to do little missionary
work.
For instance there is an old pensioner
living in that ward. The JOURNAL is in
formed that one of the Democratic ward
heelers told this old pensioner that if he
didn't vote the Democratic cicket this spring
his pension would be cut off. This scared
the old man. Then one of them told him
if he'd promise to vote right and needed any
thing in particular, just to call on.
The voter remarked that he'd got to gel
little hay. Gan right" was the reply
"you shall have the hay" Int few days
about 400 pounds of the so.called hay was
0auleQ anu put lutO tuc Olo HAL WI IL
Hay..! No wonder the old man and his
stock both shifted their noses at that hay
Scarcely a spear of it was too small to whir
a horse to death if one were so inclined
A sample of it looked like the product OF
Sidney bog. Then Democratic meat man
wishing to do little good missionary work
rendered the same voter a portion of a
"brisket" on condition that he would vote
the Democratic ticket. After failing in hi
attempt to eat the gristle and finding thai
his stock couldn't get near enough to the
brush heap "hay," to browse off the leaves
the old man began to despair that he had
promised to vote the Democratic ticket. 1t
10 suggested that one of the Democratic
city committee 60 up and labor with the old
veteran.

an interesting character.
The costumes were very pretty and the
special features introduced brought rounds
of applause. The third and fourth acts

who, he says, has robbed him.
There Is more OF less mystery about
the case, for Mr.. Michel would not state
how much he had lost. He intimated.
however. that the populations Of Stern

Stern IL about thirty years old, and

yesterday was strengthened this
morning by the announcement

That he is no longer depending exclu-

Hitherto the police rave been waiting

the brand-new clue Is n discovery of the
