hypocritical tears over the unfortunate
trickery by which the public had been
buncoed out of its legitimate rights,

time to point out that there was moth
ing whatever TO be done about Il.
The party in power was one that
had long dominated the metropolis.
To be sure IL gave the metropolis
fairly good government; but the peo-
pie paid over and over again. They
