Same Old Stery From Herman.
Nh sHermaA wAS the. frat speaker,
called to the platform, and he had the
same old tale to relate of his expert
ence With Jones. This is my only
show In telling you my troubles" said:
Herman. "ands have a lot of them TO
tell you. There Is only one newspaper
here and y am the dark sheep with
that paper. I am here to tell you
things perhaps you never heard before,
and perhaps never will read In the
newspaper"
Herman declared his position at the
late election like unto that of the
cheese in the sandwich-all alone. Il
+, told those who tried to sympathize
with ms" he said, that when the bell
rang the Dutchman' would be there"
He related his version Of the primary
and the general election and declared
that people must have had confidence
in rns., OF they. would never have re-
stored me on the commission form Of
/ government

grounds that it gave too much power to

man. It seemed foolish to the speaker
that three men should sit on council
1 when two could run the affairs and the
city could save the 5000 paid in salary
10 the third. .bat he saw some merit In
the system as a third man would be on
deck to watch the scoundrels."

Two of the members of the new
administration we're elected by the lib
erals, and unibn voters said Mr.. Her
man: altbo the speaker was not UNI
ion man. However, he had been a I'M
ion man In 1884 and 1885 when some
of the union men Of today did not
\ know. what = union was"
He then suggested that il all labor
Ing men left, the employ Of the corr
porations, and started In business for
themselves 40 he had done back in the
sos. there would be less strife and
better balanced condition of men.
h He then toldr pf q meeting at the

members of the Lennox Machine Com
pany in an effort to prevent the COM
pany from moving from tho city after
its ire Of last June. OF the business
men who spoke but three. he said,

men.
Mayor Jones sat there and covered
his eyes" he continued, because he

him and he skunk around q corner and
went home. That's the kind OF a man
that represent Narshalltown. He can't
