VAIL FROM THE ENEMY.

BROrHER "BRowNE's MOUrHPIEcE,"
after doing all in its power TO assist
the Democratic Party by antsgonizing
the wishes OF the Republican people Of
Jackson Ward, now that the wrath OF
these same people 10 exercising itself
upon it and those who deceived them,
is yelling. "PeAcep'
IL reminds us OF the small-boy who |
sang the same song as his mother pro-
ceeded 20 belabor his amplest parts
with = slipper.
She saw then that he would do right
and she would have real peace for
some time TO come when she got
through with Shat portion Of his body.
We felt sorry for the small-boy, al
though his cries for peace caused
many to enjoy his mothers exercise.
And so we say TO our contemporary
that there will be ''time for peace"
when the people get through with
those traitors who could rally but six
ty-eight votes including their own TO
the councilmanic part of their ticket.
} While they did not begin to have
strength enough to turn the ward over
: to the Democrats, it was their inten-
tion and they furnished the excuse for
the robbery committed. 1t says:
''NOw, for several weeks since the
election, meetings have been held in
the ward, i'm which the most scathing,
scurrilous rebuke has been admins

truly pathetic and more fearful as tn
