vaformer. we are assured. is busy can
vassiur among the saloonkeepers. trying
to persuade them that he was not re-
spousible for the crusade of b old Foney
DAYS. He Is giving assurances that 1t was
all the wicked Colonels fault. and that
he himself Is the friend of the liquor IN
terests. and will let the saloons keep on
doing business on Sundays just the same
as any Democrat might.
we have only to say that, If Mr.. Erwin
is making these promises. he is q despic-
able trimmer. He was the man really re-
sponsihle for the Tofey crusade. He was
the brains and the right hand Of 1t. When

large vote on the understanding that If

dry az the Sahara on Sundays.
In other words. II he is not grossly be-
lied, Mr.. Erwin is trying to ride both
horses. He is facing both ways He rs

This is Just the kind of rot, which one
who is acquainted with the Editor of the
Democrat would expect to see in his
paper. The gentleman's mind" is a COM
position Of ignorance, conceit and preju-
dice. and his speciality is stabbing good
men in the back. as he did In the case OF
the late Leon Albeit.
The greater number OF the tin colonies
and generals of whom he speaks. were
such men as Admiral Melville, Chief En-
gineer of the Navy; Admiral Philip. who
commanded the Texas at Santiago Cap
tain Clark. the gallant commander Of the
oregon; Captain Chadwick. of the New
York; Captain Sands. Of the Columbia;
Commander Wainwright, who did such
heroic service with the Gloucester. and all
the other commanders OF the ships which
took part in the Santiago fight. save two,
besides many of the subordinate officers
Of those vessels. These all aired their
uniforms and by their cheers and APP
plause proclaimed Admiral Sampson the
true hero of the naval operations off the
coast of Cuba.
Others who .aired their uniforms at
the presentation were certain officers and
men Of the Naval Reserve, everyone OF
whom with but three exceptions, served
their country well and faithfully during
the Spanish War, either on the cruiser
Badger or the cruiser Resolute, while the
Editor of the Democrat was safe on
the banks Of the Hackensack, trying TO
compose editorials to explain why the
party doesn't carry Bergen county any
more.
