seriously, I wish to correct a wrong
impression. 1t has been stated
that have been complaining about
town that l had not received my
full share of the rewards for seiz-
ures.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. 1 have made remarks
to my friends, in a joking manner,
about the small amount [ drew,
but the sum would have been much
larger only l divided up with the
entire force of the Port Surveyors
Office in order 10 make the boys
more alert.
Il am perfectly satisfied with
the amount l received, why it was
not larger is explained by Mr.. Nc
Srockvr In his Litter to Minister
Damon. The stuff brought but a
low price aud was hard u dispose
at that.
Il have no fault to find with the
custom house or anybody connect

Government and am n friend TO

reprint the picturesque portion of it
here. Mr.. Salinger said
The enemy that we are to meet IN
this campaign is a stubborn one. Our
opponents are used to hard knocks, as
burglars, thieves and highway ROBBERS
generally are. l don't mean to say that
every Democrat is a criminal, but from
personal observation and experience 4
have noticed that every thief is a Demo
crat. This is the class that we nave 10
contend with. We occupy a more honor,
able place in society than they; 500
forbid that we should be called their
equal. Some of them are not only ras..
calls, but hypocrites. They remind me or
the old Spanish banditti; they kiss you
on the cheek and stab you in the PACK,
We mustn't believe all they tell us, II we
are careful we will beat them IN the emu.
1t is funny to see Max running a
dude campaign. 1t is funny to see him
appealing to the Ninth Ward Republican
Club on the ground of social distinctions.
But there is nothing so funny about
Max as his great discovery in criminal
antropology.
But is every thief a Democrat? Was
J~osephus Sooy a Democrat, or John
Bardsley?
