ONLY IMAGINATION.
The Fairy Stories About Democrats
 Voting for Republicans.

Voting for Republicans.
 The republicans have lots of demo- crats "old liners'' at that, who claim they don't intend to vote Neir own ticket this year. The only thing about this that looks rather shady is that all the information comes from "promin- ent democrats" who are supposed to have unbosomed themselves to the party organs. 1t would be interesting to see a picture in the papers of one of these so-called democrats who are said to think every minute an hour until they can go to the polls and vote against the nominees of the democratic party. It is quite likely that he would be recognized as member of the republican town committee who is now drawing upon his imagination for campaign material.

BOTH MEN MAKE FIGURES
And the Government Contractor Seems to
Know Most.

Then as Littaeur explains dispute
took place: During our conversation
took a sheet Of paper and in my
handwriting calculated the price of the
goods, which with a Is per cent profit
to my firm would have amounted to
$1.81 per pair, which was the price at
which had previously offered to make
the gauntlets> During the discussion
reduced this anticipated profit to 10 per
cent, making the price S1.T3. Mr..
Lyon, who was furrier familiar with
the material that entered into the man
ufacture Of the fur part Of the gloves,
insisted that | had overestima ted the
number Of skins that would enter into
the production of a dozen gloves, and
subjoined to my memorandum IN his
handwriting his estimate of the cost,
which be fixed after correction Of his
previous figures at $1.46k.
II would not acquiesce in his esti-
mate Of the cost, and he would not
acQuiesce in mine. He fmpOrtuned
me, however, not to leave him in the
lurch, as he had already contracted to
furnish the goods to the government
at S165 cit turned out that in fact he
had contracted for them at $1.T0, al
though did not know it,, and he
finally bought the goods at $1.65, but
conceded that If 1t should be demon
strated after the actual manufacture OF
the goods that they had cost me less
than $165 his account would be cred
tied with one-half of the difference be-
tween the actual cost per pair and
81 65, at which we had sold the goods
to him.
'AThis difference was ascertained to
be S3,537. O5, and he was credited with
this rebate, which amounted to ST.
1882 Our books give evidence In de-
tall Of this transaction MI Lyon waa
charged for the gloves at s1.65 per pair
snd his account was subsequently cred
tied with the rebate referred to.

no doubt that a manufacturing firm.
