Willie Boyer Talks Through His Hat,
in the Statesmen.

DR.. w. I. Henshaw stands for push
ing the city forward as rapidly as pos
sible without increasing taxation.
That is just what Grover stands for
and the push has dumped this
grand government into bankruptcy and
mud hole.
The small boys are in favor of the
Republican ticket because they can
fish in the mud puddles on the streets
and save walk to the creek.
Yes, and catch flat-head suckers like
the editor of the Statesman, just to
see him wriggle like worm.
If the Democrats carry the city next
Monday they will carry the county
this fall. Every man is expected to
do his duty
Republicans. mark the above! How
can you vote for Democrat, after
such plain expression Let every
Republican do his duty, Monday.
Don't let Willie Boyer scare you.
Vote your ticket straight, after such a
hint as the above.
Next Monday will be the city cleo
ton and still we have no report from
the corporation officers. 1t is true
the Daily World, the organ of the Re-
publican machine in this election, has
published statement showing bal
ance on hand Of 81, 600, but why have
we not had the reports which have in
the past been submitted at the first
meeting of the council in May?
The report was ready the fast meet
ing night of the council, but on mo-
ton of DIR. Henshaw, Democratic can
didate for mayor, we are informed, it
went over. Got your loot in it again,
Williel
LATER. The report was made on
Thursday night, but DR.. Henshaw
absented himself
+ We will bet that the same Republi-
cans who voted here two years ago in
their county convention for the reso-
luton endorsing free coinage howled
for sound money last week at their
district and state conventions. Such
people dont care fig for principle, it
is office they want.
And it is Office you have. That &C
counts for the many columns OF free
pot metal gold literature you publish.
You are the representative of the adj
ministration, and must have no in
dividuality, until you get out of Office
You are political slave-a poor serv-
ant of gold-bug Cleveland
If our friends the Republicans were
generous they would assign over those
blank books used two years ago
against the Democrats to represent
what was done by the Fifty-third
Congress. The same documents could
be used with thousand times more
propriety now than then.
Certainly, only they would not be
blanks now. Cleveland's bond gifts
to millionaires would be on them and
the picture of horrible vactum-the
depleted Treasury.
1t would seem that the Republicans
OF West Virginia think they will need
the help of the A. p A. in the cam
paign. If that detestible order does
not already dominate the actions of
the West Virginia Republicans, tie
Republicans must have grave fear of
the order. The disposal of the resolu-
ton offered in their State convention
last week at Clarksburg indicates that
there is an African in the woodpile.
/ This is foolish rot emagogy,
pure and simple. The anita. P. A.
resolution was voted down on motion
of Mr.. Flood, of Charleston, a good
Catholic, because no expression on
the subject was necessary and because
the maker of the motion was drunk.
and crazy as Boyer usually is in poll
tics. We feel nothing but contempt
for such dirty, low, lying work as the
above clipping.
