the lack Of refreshment rooms has been
IN many places and In sftlI supplied
by the peasants OF the neighborfnr re-
gton, who come down TO the stafions
with bread, cheese, butter, meat and

that ~ q start 1000 locomotives. 1900

announced as orthodox ON silver, and the
silver doctrine was the cardinal principle

voice In the convention 70 the free and

MIXED PICKLE.

The election in several of the
states on Tuesday last, is in the
nature of mixed pickle pepper
ly, mustardly, and-sour. True, in
the condiment, there may be a little
glucose for some, but for others there
is certainly more pickle in the beet
than sugar. The result in the En-,
pire State was fearful defeat to the
Republicans, and too much of vic.
tory to be accorded such a machine
as Tammany. The dropping Off in
the Mckinley election returns show
something so singular as to be al
most inexplicable. There is some
thing surprising in that, but Ger.
tainly, from some cause or another
valuable ground has been lost. Pos
sibly, too much bossism and concen.
tration in improper and ill-adyised
appointments may have caused much
OF this loss. If true, the people have
given warning that politicians, who
desire party success, should heed
and heed constantly. A man may
carry a batch of appointments, sub
ject TO his power, but remember
there are whole hosts of other men,
manly men, carry the corrective in
their heads, with the power of APP.
plying 1T at the polls. Heed the
warning-be thankful that "what
might have been' is no worse.
