yer question, Instead of discouraginS
them, ne should encourage them by
holding IN their hands in this emere
gency. II we abandon the principle,
they may be tempted to abandon it;
but if we stand firm. they will con
tinue even though this time they may
fight losing battle
IF the comparisons were in earnest,
why did they not say, Behold we are
the wise men of the nation; we win
pat each other on the back and say
there is none like us!' They should
have said: eve viii wait and see what
these other men do. and if they do not
do right, we will nominate a ticket of
/ our own, There was plenty of time;
( but, instead of that, they rushed madly
in with a ticket which is today the
amusement of this state.
+ The head of he reform ticket is doubt
less a good man, but MI. Dale is just
as good.

men like Grant. Lincoln. jackson. or
any of the great minds, who we're all

parties was such that it was hard to de-

! Their positions on the issues of the
/ day were odd. The Republican party
( in convention assembled had not dared
endorse the position of the national ad-
ministration indicating they we're not
/ in touch with the powers that be. The
non-partisanS were going before the
/ people with a lot of glittering generaii-
ties. They promised to reduce taxes.
but they cannot do it. The city levy
! this year is no heavier than last or the
year before. and unless the city de-
faults on interest, it cannot be much

which is presided over by that eminent
non-partisan, John e. Dolly, which has

was in the state taxes where the
amount has ben raised. There is no
use in attempting to fool the people in
this matter. The best the people can
expect from any administration next
year is that, perhaps, the city levy may
be reduced a fraction of a mill.
Mr.. Hempstead's speech closed the
meeting. which adjourned with three
cheers for the success of the Demo-
