 One conservative newspaper goes so far as to insinuate that Editor White. having successfully worked all other veins productive of votes for the insurgents, has set about cur rying favor with the barbers union. Editor White declares that he mere ly wants to separate the sheep from the goats and have a sign whereby he shall know them. Meantime the quips and campaign stories are be ginning to have an ominous ring. The standpatters tell of the moon faced man who also happened to be bald, and whose friends couldn't tell whether he was coming or going lso long as he kept his mouth shut By way of reioiner the progressive is apt to spring bon mot about the man whose beard caught fire. the iconfagation flushing a whole cove of prairie chickens.
