orderly liquor saloons in that CITY, sold
liquor on Sunday.
One-time Sergeant Louks testified that
the first information received of the sale
OF liquor by Brady on Sunday came by
letter. No one signed the letter, which
described cupboard on the side of the
stairs leading from Brady's tenement TO
his coal cellar. Mr.. Brsdy's sal DON was
oil the sidewalk, and the individual who
sent the letter also volunteered the infor-
nation that If the police visited this
stairway they would find a man standing
opposits the cupboard.
The anonymous letter was submitted to
Mayor Gottschaik and as result of n
conference with the mayor, Louks stated
the place was visited. The cupboard was
in the exact location the ANONYMOUS LET
ter described. and tho man was in front
OF it, but there was no one drinking in
tie premises though one man, Lonks tes.
titled, came into the house and asked NJ
he could get drink while the officers
were there
The cupboard was locked and Louks sent
up to Mr. Bradys room, where he was
sick, for the key IL was refused, and
then Louks,took an axe and pried the
cupboard do6ropen.
no teSllueu HDulnk gOoluy mum Der or
quart TASKS filled with ale, bottle with
n pint of whisky in it and some beer
and whisky glasses.
On Cross-examination. Thomas w.
Robinson, who was attorney for Brady.
asked Louks what sort OF place his client
kept and the reply was, lone of the
most orderly in the city"
Louks admitted that it was the custom
of himself and officers in his charge TO
dash into place in lively manner. so
as, IL possible TO catch some one drinking
therein.
Police Officer Coombs was the next wit
ness and after he bad been cross ex.
amined by Mr.. Robinson the attorney
general had n conference with Chief of
Police Goldsmith. Ite result OF this con
ference was that Attorney General Tan
ncr informed tho court that he would mol
pros the indictment.
Judge Wilbur then called Brady to the
bar and discharged him.

That is What This City
Campaign Shows.

LINES SHARPLY DRAWN.
Democrats Propose TO Test Their
Sirezsth
IN STRAIGHT PARTY FIGHT,

Whom the Democrats in their city con.
vention nominated their candidate for
mayor as a Democrat, representing
Democracy lin the fullest sense" and
capable OF leading the Democracy to VIC
tory for the party IS good they emphasized
n realizing sense OF the fact apparent to
every voter that the sham appeal of the
Democracy to the support of independents
would avail the party nothing this year
and the leaders voiced the party senti-
inent that the Democracy feels quite well
able to go it alone.
Whether it is or not is question that
depends only on the activity ana vigor
OF the spirit of Republicanism. To be-
sure, there was no choice left TO the
Democrats The independents have long
since given evidence of having become
tired of being tied To the Democratic
apron string and have discerned that the
material interests of the municipality
had no show of being advanced by sucr
a connection with Democracy. 1t was q
case of needs must" with the Demo-
cratic leaders. They knew they could
no longer hope for independents support
and SO they cut loose aud set up the
standard OF straight Democracy.
Asa matter of record, for all the talk
OF Pr ' dsnce being a Democratic city,
the Democrats have never been able to
carry municipal election without the
support of the independent vote Whether
they.w do it this year, or whether
enough independents to elect him will
vote for their candidate. in suito of the
slap in the face that the convention gave
them remains to bs seen.
IL is not believed that the pretended
courage cf the Democracy will win them
the election this year A large part Of tho
rank and file regard the Democratic eau
didate as opposed to their interests. except
when he seeks something for himself.
