The first thing to mar the even tenor
of the peaceful campaign in Manchester

enemy of MIR. d. L. Toney, candidate for
the mayoraity. The card has printed in
black letters, at the top the single word
our" with the initials d. l.. L. on the
bottom In the center there is "a picture
of a large hog. The appearance of the
card on the streets was first discovered
about 9 o'clock, and then there were
only Z; few OF them. The news spread
like fire. and there was demand for
them by nearly every voter.
