Burton Is All Right.

When J. R. Burton stepped upon
the platform last Tuesday in reponse
to the calls Of his friends in the old
Fifth District every body knew that
they would hear the burning words of
an orator and classical scholar. 1t is
needless to remark that no disappoint-
ment was experienced. Mr.. Burton
is a Republican, Republican in VIC
tory or defeat He is no trimmer and
whether popular or not voices his
convictions is no uncertain tone. He
does not stop to apologize for the
faith that is in him but boldly throws
down the gauntlet and sounds the
trumpet for the grand charge all
along the line. He waged the battle
for honest money against great odds
and lost. In losing he won-won the
appreciation and admiration of those
who voted against him. His speech
last Tuesday was applauded as it
deserved to be. Say what you please
about Burton, he is faithful to his
party, faithful to his convictions,
faithful to his friends. II Manhattan
