THE VEIL REMOVED.
The Citizens Good Government Party
Revealed to the Light Of Day, Is Only
a Human Organisstion-Wil It
Set the Porter Up to tho Non
Partisan Convention?

After all that has been said and done,
the citizens good government party Of
the city Of Madison is orly human.
There is evidently IN Aaron in the party,
and their Moses cometh not down from
he mount. Their convention yesterday
was certainly Q surprise to their we'll
wishers. 1t was male mp OF 40 excell-
ent body OF men, Observation-Disclosures Of
the clergy OF the city, our city school
sur %erintendent, and perhaps Oilers who
had almost persuaded US that their
mission was to lead us in the straight
ana narrow path and smooth the native
rough places in our character. But
their Moses was absent, Yesterday.
Like things away of, We had imagined
Q halo surrounding the head Of the citi.
,ens' good government party; but, after
all, its members are only human; they
are prone to error. Yesterday they
placed in nomination for mayor OF Mad
ison-perhspe, their Aaron. II they
had 9 their protege in the Second
ward caucus the evening tefore, collect
ing earrings aud the like from the sons
there present, and incidentally delegates
favorable to himself IN the Tor partisan
| convention, they would have waxed hot
and brake the tables. And had he been
reproved by his clerical delegates for the
erection Of the golden image, he would
Immediately have deserted his fellow
worehippers and left them to drink the
water strewn with the dust Of the for
hidden idol. He would be pious with
the preachers aud worship the brazen
calf in their absence. This citizens
good government protege is cool (mRny
say cold. blooded) aud calculating. This
is not the fret time he has worked q de-
ceitful plan in gaining office in this com
muuity-if he also succeeds in baRginH
the non par,ison convention. His pres
ent position of county attorney he won
in a similar manner. And what has he
done with the law cases in which the
citizens good government party was
supposed to be SO much interested!
Why, of course, they have been dis
missed or continued. That's easy.
But what Of the non partisan conven-
ton? IL it like the case OF the " meu
who fought with their heavy o~vercoatf
on-when the fight ended each bad
+, fought himself into the others coat!
It's no discredit t belong to either OF
these city parties, but the members o.
each have refrained from identifying
themselves with the other in theiI
primaries. It is evident. however, ths'
the citizens good government party ha'
fought itself into the coat OF the non
partisan party, rs their nominee TO
MAY or would indicate, aud now do no
the non-partisans feel too goody goc'
with the good government cost 90
which they must have OF necessity Tough
themselves into-to swallow any stal
Porter left over from the good govern
ment love feast?
II your children are fretful, peevist
and GROSS, mother the same. ditto tn

Rocky Mountain Tea. IS cents.
