for stationery, printing, postage and clerk

vice. The publishers of most reform

most Of this immense waste is caused by

by sheer carelessness.

Pennsylvania, was one of the party boilers

he is cured of so-called broad notions.
He hopes that the national convention will
prescribe no other test Of party fealty than
a declaration for the overthrow Of the sa.
loon. He wants it to "build a big, broad
platform that will hold every man in Amer.

his ballot, and adds that 1.-THE only plat
form that is big enough to do that will
