Where is the editor of the Tribune. Is
he where he was in 1896? The Capital

Republican party as IAN aggregation Of

The fact is that the brilliant and erratic
editor of the Tribune takes his political
opinions and conduct from the precept
Of Sadi: should the prince at monday

moon and stars" Whenever Mark Hanna
eats beans. the Tribune at once has a
violent attack OF phlebOtOmy. II can't
