a completo victory for tho democrat

the four wards. Though the republican

They succeeded in naming three

to elocting them thoy could not

to offer. They are all good citi2ons, but
they happened to be found in bad com,
pany and had to pay the penalty for
their mistake. in future, if they profit
by experience, they will be wiser men,
and will look before they leap.
The election, though only for four
aldermen, had higher significance than
a mere party victory. 1t was in the
nature of a protest against methods that
were obnoxious to many men who
are republicans, but who claim the
right and privilege to think for thom-
selves and to have say in selecting car
didates, as well as electing them. JUS
tice requires the acknowledgement that
many of these republicans rendered

New York bankers, nnder the title of

energy, and at considerable expense.

vocacy OF tho gold Standard or rather
illogical and untruthful abuse of bimet-
alism The country will be flooded with
this stuff and the cost is great, but if the

can stand it. Tt is but Il drop in the

by the administration playing into their
