The speaker referred to Mr. Schmitz as
a good man gone wrong, and character

been dominated by Phelanism. The labor

of passion. and it's candidates therefore

convention was so bad, how came it that
such men as John Lackmann for Sheriff,
Henry Baehr for Auditor and Albert B.
Mahoney for County Clerk were noni-

Republican members of the Board of Su-
pervisors-Sanderson, Wilson and Boxton
were renominated? Referring to the rec
ord of the Democratic Board of Super

in no danger of being elected, decided to
cover all bets. Yesterday half a dozen
gentlemen visited the place where the
money was said to be placed and offered
to cover any part or all of it. These citi-

that Mr.. Wells would not be elected. They
were, however, disappointed. They were
informed that the money had been placed.
Last evening half a dozen other gentle
men, who had heard that money was be-

amounted to nearly $4,000 and COM
