ton of his party, but now he will step
down and out as a leader or so-called
boss. though he claims the privilege OF
serving as private in the ranks of the
Republican party. He says he does this
confidently, believing in Republican sue
cess to-day. He thanks his friends and

ings are born in this, and they should
not be blamed too much"

from candidates, office holders or public
employees, either in city, county. State
or national government; nor has he ever
derived any revenue from any public
contracts or from dealing with them.
