ways had great deal of respect for,
but from his utterances while in this

all of his noble principles and has sacri-
feed them to his greed for office. We
would adYise the gentleman to curb
his speech somewhat in the near fu-
ture.
The above item, printed ir last
weeks Waterloo Democrat, is as far
from the truth as any utterance could
well be, In the first place Mr.. Weiss
has not been in Waterloo since Sep
tember 5 last, one week previous to his
nomination, and in the second place

he possesses no great "greed for office"

gust on the part of persons who have
hitherto been his friends. Let us as
sure you. Brother Bolger, that you

whole-souled person as ever.
