10 the Editor CnlcngO Eagle.
Dear Sir-As there seems to be dis
position in certain quarters to blame
the Harlan vote for the defeat of
Graeme Stewart In the recent election.
/ desire to say one word on the sub.
ject of Mr.. Harlan himself. What
ever truth or untruth there may be In
the claim that certain percentage of
the Harlan vote refused to support
the Republican nominee, 1t certainly
cannot be said of Mr.. Harlan himself
that he failed to do his duty as good
citizen and n Republican. Mr.. Har-
Ian accepted his defeat for the nomi-
nation gracefully, and nfterward gave
his loyal support to that gentleman.
II certain of Mr.. Harlan's supporters
were more aggrieved than Mr.. Harlan
himself over the action Of the Repub-
lican city conventional that fact can
hardly be properly charged up to Mr..
Harlan. l think the conduct of the
last named gentleman In the cam.
paign just closed was honorable. man
~ and chivalrous.

ears which We're IN use here twenty
years ago. This Is proven by the
printed notices on the inside OF the
cars, In one of which. for example,
messengers are Informed that 1t IL

tice being signed by former super.
intendent, who has been long since
dead. Another notice sets forth that
passengers can buy twelve.ride tickets
at reduced rate. an arrangement which
was abolished about fifteen years ago.
When | entered one Of these cars the
other day / invOluntarily looked for
the hay in the bottom Of the vehicle.
IL this what we are coming to! With

When may we look for some prog
ress? Perhaps the new City Council
may do something. Let us hope 80.
