Decidedly orneuIar.

At the mass meeting held in Phiia-
deIphia a night or two since to take
action against the city riEgsters, a tel
egrarn was read from Postmaster Gen
eral Smith. IN which he strongly de-
nounced the corrupt machine that s
plundering the city and expressed his
desire TO be Classed with those who are
endeavoring to overthrow that machine.
This was a direct slap at Quayism- and

that local politicians should settle their

ular than that it would be hard 20 put
into language. Considered ahsuactly,
1t has no appreciate bearing upon .he
situation A mere difference between
local politicians is a matter to be wide
ly distinguished from an attempt by the
