There was published in New York
at that time daily newspaper now

justified its existence by serving as
the organ and mouthpiece of the Tweed

served the title of the original "yel-
low" journal of New York. Whenever
the ring was hard pressed bv outraged
public sentiment or beliigerent reform
ers, the newspaper organ Immediately
dug up some sensation that would dis
tract public attention.
1t was upon one of these occasions
according to veracious testimony that
the managing editor of the Tweed
sheet called to his desk his star" re-

Since that time, other New York
newspapers have illustrated the power
of the press in melting the mob spirit
and setting the populace on wild
clamor for blood. Only last summer
one newspaper succeeded in producing
among the feminine population of the
city a universal fit of hysteria by its
exaggerated and highly colored reports
of attacks upon women. Many inno-
cent men were attacked by mobs and
incipient riots resulted. The cleverly
fostered sex-hysteria reached threat

but his wife is "A bright, Intelligent
young woman. of good education well

the event of her husbands election she

Before filing a declaration of his
candidacy, Mr.. Sandusky consulted the
Circuit judge and other legal authori-
ties as to the propriety of such an
arrangement and they told him it was
thoroughly warranted by the law. If
elected Mr.. Sandusky will find no
trouble in securing signatures for the
large bond required by the office.
In other ways Mr.. Sandusky's cam
paign differs from that of the or
dinary office seeker. He is a splendid
baritone singer. and when attending
political meetings he sings instead of
making speeches. The blind candidate
has become wonderfully popular be-
cause of his voice. At one night meet

know it. and kept on with his song.
