in play. while one pair. the Top-ot-NothinR.

Several of our solvers got the positions OF tho
remaining cards about right. and suggested Es

in the blocked diamond suit, Of which W must

Campaign of 1896 VS.. 1897.

MeSSTS. Editors.
A wolf once upon time accused a
lamb of spelling the water, aud under
this preteXt devoured her, &C., &c.
This old story is too well known to
need full context. In like manner the
Baltimore Sun" accuses the Demo-
Gratis with fraud, intimidation and pur-
chase of votes in this campaign, forget
tinethe methods resorted to during the
election of 1896, when every monied in
stltutioD, corporations, all railroads and
manufactures were laid under contri-
button, and did contribute according to
their capital. When employees were
compelled (under threats of dismissal
and otherwise to journey hundreds of
miles at whose eXpense?) to pay hom-
age to and bGNW before the shrine of Mr..
Mckinley, at Canton, Ohio. and under
the same compulsion to vote for him.
Did the Baltimore Sun" cry out in
holy horror against this intimidation
then?
Did the "Sun" parade then, as it does
no,0, in capital letters the solemn warn
ing to BeUdre and not infringe the law,
so made and provided? Certainly not.
Conditions have changed. The "Sun"
aided and abetted in every way the
election of Mr.. Mckinley then and sue
ceeded, though posing as Gold Demo
crdt. The same paper is most active
noW in behalf of Republican success.
If the Sun" man has forgotten this
episode, the people have not. "ALL the
people cannot be FOOLED all the time"
This selt-righteous newspaper cannot
any longer advocate the Democratic
cause for the reason that too much boss
ism prevails, and fails to consider that
in its daily issues it assumes the most
stupenduous boSSisna, before which the
king of bosses, Senator Wellington,
sinks into lnsignificance, and Senator
German Is overshadowed completely.
