tion meekly. He got on. Spencer. Rice
and Pittwood did not like to get of. but
the pull on their legs was too strong.
w. B. Burleigh listened to the siren
voice which told Of future honors and
at last he got OF, and they did not wait

And that was what the stripeds did

they merely kicked out Jack Huntoon
and b. r. Cook n those places will
have to be left vacant. as the republic
can convention failed to authorize the
central committee or any one else to

Observation-Disclosures Dush quietly told
each candidate that he could get of
the ticket or have the whole party
strength thrown against him at the

the Standard representative that they
intended to vote the democratic ticket
straight. with the exception of two or
three names. and the latter were not on
the legislative ticket.
Tallant, Burlingame and the Cros-
