These causes are briefly:

the country.
The Encouragement of public pat

that cliqus Of New York and London
bankers is controlling the financial poll
cy of this country.
"The unpopular foreign policy of the
administration.
The use of the courts in case of
strikes.
"The general hard times, which many
insist are result of the presidents $
policy, and
"The evident intention of the followers
of Grover Cleveland to force him upon
the country as a Democratic nominee for
president in 1896.
"In localities where the issues were
pureiy local, the Republicans invariably
gained. NOS over the election of '92 only,

TECHNICALITiES.
They Gauss More Trouble Than a Little to
Tyler Street People.


Tyler Street People.
The people living on the east side of
TYLER street, between Fifth and Sixth
streets, are again com PEELED to face dis
appointment unless the city authorities
come TO their assistance.
For two years they have been attempt
ing to have brick walks put down in
front of their property, but there has
been trouble about the matter because
there was a contention among the prop
erty owners about putting some of the
walks down to grade. The walks were
condemned and placed on the tax rolls
last year but they were not built, and the
council ordered them stricken from the
rolls, which was done.
This year the lots were not placed on
the tax rolls through an understanding
that the tax had been paid last year, and
when the time came to put down the
walks it was found that they were not on
the tax roIls, so the contractor could not
build them.
If the people get their walks this. year
il will be because the council orders it
one, with the understanding that the
property is to be taxed next year.
