Worse and Worse !

OF the si5:O00 that was voted 10
bSild a gas holder and improve the
gas works year ago, there has bet n
expended 5000; there is on hand
~, coo, of which sum ~, 900 is to ply
bills contracted, and $1,000 is left to
build the holder, and this will not be
enough by considerable.
Another evidence of mismanage-
ment, is shown in the fact that the
city building has been heated with
gas, and enormous bills have been run
up. We have it on good authority
that the bill for gas for this building
for one month, was nearly hundred
dollars. With such leaks as this, il
Is no wonder the works have run be-
hind. Look up the leaks, and we be-
lieve there will he no necessity for
raising the price of gas, which the
people were assured could be manu-
factured for from ten to twenty-five
cents a thousand.
In the face of the disclosures that
are being made, we do not wonder
that an effort has been made to turr
down the new Board of Public Ser
vice, or make them promise not t
make changes in the management o
the gas, electric light and waite
works.

"While Cleveland would be right
fully entitled to the nomination if
the reorganizers obtain control,
Cleveland might, with some reason,
aspire to a Republican nomination,
but in his widest dreams he car
hardly imagine the possibility of a
Democratic nomination,
''He will receive considerable men
lion in the papers who get their edi
torials from the stock tickers, but
the financiers are too shrewd to make
him their representative in a presi
Dental campaign. Their plan is tt
select some one whose opinions ar,
known to them, but not known to tn,
public When they have used a maj
as long as they can. they throw hin
overheard and get a new one. If th'
Democratic convention passed res
olution leaving the candidate to b
selected by J.Pierpent Morgan alone
Morgan would not think for momen
of risking his financial interests o.
such a nomination. The talk abou
Cleveland serves to I'LL up space an

mates perfect their secret plans"
