POLITICAL POINTS !


ANY doubt as to how the city viii
go on the govenorship disappeared
when Louie Cleaveland struck town
from Springfield last evening. Louie
is Yates supporter.
The city administration, which in
cludes the police force, is lined up
with Lowden to a man. Hence, those
Yates shouters who have been keep
| ing late hours should beware. for
they stand in dire danger of being
Pincked fer street walking.
Yates meetings were held in the
First and Third wards last night. c.
J. Searle delivered the oratory at both
places.
The local Lowden contingent, in or
der to strengthen its position, is said
to have agreed on n combination, in
the event it is successful in the eX
ising fight. the fulfillment of which
will be the grooming of Mayor Viii
