ticket for the sole reason that he or some friend of his, forsootA, failed n secure an appointment to some public office. for him I have words of cen- sure and condemnation not severe enough to offer. Suffice it to say that man who thus pubfb,ly acknowledges his narrowness, his shortsightedness,
 his selfishness and his supreme ego tism and who advises lls fri nds eff he has any) to forsake their party ties. to jeopradize the fair name of their
 home city. to imperil its finances and to load upon the wel-nigh over burdened taxpayers additional bur dens-sullice it to say that such man is better outside than inside the party and | for one do not regret his ab- & nee.
 have a faint recollection. like that man in "A Texas Steer" who wanted to go as minister to "Dahomey." of having gone down to Washington city in 1897, carrying the written endorse ments of every prominent politician and public office holder, both state and federal in the state of West Virginia, of going to the White House to see the president, accompanied personally by Senator stephen F. Elkins and Hon A. F. White. who is now governor of West NireiGis. 1 remember I caused
 Mir Mckinley to be reminded that was a member of the convention that
 nominated him. l even logged his
 memory of the fact that I had lead q
 delegation of 5000 men to his home in Canton that carried to him the as-
 surances of the loyalty and support of
 the republicans of West Virginia in
 his canvass. and yet I failed to secure my appointment. But l did not at tempt 10 create a tempest in teapot
 in that state and thus alienate the sympathy and moraA support of the
 thousands of good and true friends I had the honor to possess among the republicans of West Virginia Instead,
 I smothered my disappointment and chagrin as best l could and said of
 the republican party, as Daniel look

 Jerusalem. '1f I forget thee oh!
 Jerusaler. may my right hand forget
 It's cunning and may my tongue cieave
 to the roof of my mouth
 And so I want to suggest to any republican who may fancy he has personal grievance against some re-
 publican leader. that it would not only
 be inopportune to bring that grievance
 into this city election. but it would
 be the h ighth of folly, 1t would be committing political suicide to, at this
 inauspicious time attempt to kill the
 goose that lays the golden egg.
 want to ask the business men of this city if they think the high license ordinance will be more likely to De re- ? aled by a democratic than by re- publican council? I want to ask the
 white and the colored barbers of this city if they think the special tax on every barber's chair in their shops will
 be more likely to be repealed by, a
 democratic council? I want to ask the laboring men of this city if they think
 their pauper poor. their indigent and sick will stand a better chance for humane and liberal treatment at the hands of an administration headed by man who. though he cries inces- sanity against the blatant trusts. yet seizs upon the first opportunity to form a combination to increase the price of lce. an absolute necessity in
 this climate I want to ask this dis
 appointed oliice-seeker who is too ashamed of his own handiwork to sign
 his name to his selfish suggestions want to ask him if he thinks the members of democratic council will be likely to turn out brother-in-law or a ,father-in-law to make room for him. even at a reduced salary?
