The Inconsistency Of tho managers OF
the Dcmocratic-good government cam
paign stands out like the nose on a mans
face These would be controllers Of the
legislature are asking the electors of this
city TO defeat the Republican Assem- bly,
ticket for the reason that some of the
candidates-for not all of the present city
delegation asked for a renomination--haye
participated i'm legislation which is not to
the liking of the assuming dictators.
The Republican party can well afford tn
stand upon its honorable record and 50
can its Representatives in the legislature.
Didn't the Republicans uncover tho
monstrous frauds which were twice 70
year perpetrated upon the respectable ele-
ment in both the Republican andf Demo-
cratic parties, through illegal voting upon
the names of non electors and dead men?
Did not those who connived at these
frauds cause everyone of those names to
go back on the voting lists as soon as they
could -dn-spr- and did not the Republican
legislators, acting honestly for the welfare
of the entire community and in the name
of square ballot and good government,
provide n board of registration and can
vassers that once more, and for good the
disgraceful abuses and wrongs might De
wiped out2

Why DO They Denounce.

Why do the alleged reformers, who so
loudly assert that every sacrifice should

The Republican candidates are opposed
by the Democrats and Goo-Goos because
Of other acts of legislation. The most prom.
incnt Democrat in the state, DIR. Lucius
r. G. Garyin Of Cumberland. has spent
most of his time during the last ten
years in useless endeayors to induce his
party to adopt reform measures. This
alopathic reforincr was ever opposed To

DR. Garvin pleaded in vain with his
Democratic colleagues for house rules

first" Mrs. Rosa Tapley, of No. 721 Harrison

porter, "but it was not long before every
