 Things Under Scare Head.
 Thai lifelong and influential @ re- ,,rhlican in the American office who accused the Democrat of something which is not so, had better smoke up or read LID. This imaginary citizen is ouoted as follows.
 .sWhy. no later tlfan the eiectloh this month for delegate to the COT stit,1tional convention the organ or the local democratic party in tnls clty (meaning the Democrat, of coursel, on inc very night of the election came out with scare headlines making the claim that q large number of fepuD- lican ballots were invalid and must be thrown out"
 Here is what the Democrat printed on the day of the constitutional con- vention election in it's news columns
 Early in the forenoon Attornev Durant discovered glaring error III inc republican ticket The words to the constitutional convention. were inverted. All such tickets, if any were voted, will, of course be thrown out as marked ballots. No estimate of the number that was cast was Siv- en-
 
 And here is what was printed in the sscare head" bearing on the above, which. py the way, was printed in the oralnary style of type used in the paper:
 ''Republican Ballots Printed WIth Ill
 Inverted Line-Attorney Duf;lnl
 Says They Must be Looked Upon as Marked Ballots"
 The influential republican,, or the one without influence. who can dis cover anything sensational or unfaf l in the above extracts from the Demo | crat of November ,. it seems to q dis l interested person, is looking for trou- l ble 1t was an item of news on that | day. and the Democrat published it. | just as live. up-to-date paper should | do, but if after breeding it over for several weeks it had been brought out and enlarged upon there might be q i chance to say that politics or spite or something else was at the back of it.
 It is pretty hard to understand the l attitude of the American on this ques- 1 ton. It is like the proyerbial flea, | now you see it and now you don't. A l great change has come over the men i behind the pens in that office. Now, [ eXltipIIlN. IS u ltlss tO NH CAA and place Judge Coweh on q pedestal i of bronze. Here is one of the nice l things it said about Mayor Kildutf be- 1 fore the elections:
 Mayor Kilduff is both good execu- f tive and q good politician, and by working the two together he gives us q good administration and remains in ! office. This long public service has equipped him with an experience rare ! and valuable It is one of the chief 1 reasons why he should be still further l kept in power < < Such a man should not be removed except on se- rious grounds, and there are no serious grounds this year on which q change ] of administration can be recommend l ed.''
 i And here is one of the things the American said that wasn't so very nice about Judge CoweIl and Attorney i Kellogg:
 ''The nomination of Judge Cowell, to me, is a serious blunder Here he is drawing a salary of $3,000 as judge | or the district court, and now and then sitting for five or ten minutes in the city court, and commanding S5 more. There were plenty of other
 men who, in my opinion, would be DeEter men for the place, and who. I
 am sure. if nominated and elected
 would not be drawing two salaries
 Cowell is John Kellogg man. and
 Nellogg, l suppose, wants CowelI to
 De elected so that he, like himself
 VIII draw more than one salary from
 the public. Mir Kellogg. as I under
 stand 1t, gets S3,000 as city attornav
 ana his salary as states attorney is
 Sl,2oO more, making in all S4.2OO.,
