He referred to the condition Of af-
fairs existing at present in the State

State Senator David ]. Reinhardt
discussed national issues. He re-
ferred to the length of the session Of
Congress and the excessive appropria-
tions made.
I'VE we're told of the 'watchful wait
ing and thousands of workingmen
are watchfully waiting for the restora-
ton Of prosperity" Senator Reinhardt
said. Senator Salisbury asserted the
other day that Thomas w. Miller, Re
publican candidate for Congress,
would not make bump on a log
Well, 7. w. Miller will make such a
bump on the Congressional log that
Salisbury will be unable to roll it
over so he may join the Southern Sem
ators in getting at the trough and
feeding from the pork barrel"
City Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings
delivered a stirring speech.
IF potatoes were to sell at ten
cents a basket, how can an idle work.
ingman buy them when he cannot
earn ten cents in a week?" Judge
Hastings inquired. This economical
Congress has spent $2,000O00 a week,
$335,OO0 a day, $4,000 an hour and
$500 a minute"
Levy Court Commissioner Samuel
L. Burris referred to the Cleveland
panic. through which he went. There
fore, he knew, he said, that the idle
men today are suffering. Nearly
/ seventy orders have been given for
shoes.
"The Trustees of the Poor must
look after our suffering people who
have been reduced to this condition
/ by the Democratic hard times" Com
missioner Burris said. The Repub-
licans are sure to carry the Second
ward this time for the whole ticket
and that, too, by a remarkably big
majority.
Il have been criticized and abused
but / defy any one to get me- fol-
even so much as one dime ever taken
| improperly from the county.
"City Chairman James salisbury ha
( been telling us how to be economical
but if he wants us to practice his tao
tics We cannot do so.
"Now. about Martin E. Smith;
want to say that when we went to Chi
cage to inspect the bridges, Smith di'
] not ioin us on the so-called junSet. Bu
/ he met Mr.. Scott, Mr.. Wilson and mi
at the station. We agree to chip il
500 each and take him along. Smith
however, declined to 90. He asked u
for the money and said he would meef
us in Buffalo. That shows the natur,
/ of his so-called interest in the taXpay
ers.
81 am glad that President Sparks ha
come out in a letter and shown h.
does not and never did intend usin;
any influence over Walter Rash regard
ing legislation in this district if he wer
elected. Rash can be depended upon t
do just what the people over here want
We will elect Rash and we want hin
to introduce bills for us.
"We want the South Side served
We want the bends in the Christians
dug away and the Delaware rive
} brought into our midst. Then W.
will bulkhead it as they did in Chi
cago. We want Fourth street made
a model thoroughfare from our new
Third street bridge to the city
limits.
Vote in the square above the
eagle! Vote for Miller, Rash, War
ren and the whole Republican ticket
