EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN:-Sir, you
Were very severe on the good people Of
West Chester, Pa. In III editorial in tho
REPUBLICAN last Saturday, you say it is
the worst town of its population tive
thousand) In the United States; murders,
scaDdels and etc. Now paid West Chss-
ter visit last August, had business with
tho Hon. Marshall S. Way, Mayor of West
Chester, who Is also engagal ju the real
estate business and has cEarse OF u lr p.
crty owned by my wife andnlso seine IN
vcstmcnts for her. The Mayor is an
agreeable gentleman and u first class bus!
ness mnn.
Icallcd at the tho residence of Thomas
D. Webb formerly of this city, he was out
of town, but | was told he was well and
hearty although very old l called on all
the newspaper editors and had pleasant
chat with thom. l congratulated them
on tho sanitary condition of their beauUi-
full city Of ton thousand inhabitants, not
5000. As you stated. The streets are well
paved and clean, tho drainage Is also ex-
cellcnt and Electric cars buZGine mp and
down nearly all the streets. Here is o be
found five banks and seven hotols nll do
Ing thriving business. Some fifteen CT
tive nty railrond trains leave for Philadel-
phih every day.
We werc very much pleased with our
visit and tho good people whom We called
upon. II was told me that West Chester,
Chester county, years ago was Democratic;
now it Is nearly all Republican. Has tho
change caused it to be tho worst town in
the United States, or what has caused tho
change from once good to DO so bad? 1t
may bo too many hotels or too many gold
bugs. e. b. FRAZER.

Farmers and produce dealers are again
discussing the poultry question with
reference to the approaching holidays and
cold weather. Last weeks weather was
just tho kind for poultry fattenins.
The turkey is the American national
bird for Christmas. Hn rules Tho roo3t
here at yulotide by virtue of ancient
Gus, ,om, and no less in token Of hi; own
suCculent excellence.
But in other countries it is different
In England for example, tho sirloin Of
beef is the prime dish for Christmas day
though many prefer goo %. In Russia,
as u Dulliat might say, the favOrije fowl
