Marion L. Spitler received the republican nomination for liepresentative on the fourth ballot. Call at John Healy’s new shoe shop, on Vanßensselaer st, south of McCoy’s bank, when needing any boot or shoe repairing, or other work in his line. Good work guaranteed. at fair prices. Terms cash. 12—4tp. Parson O »ven declared he could not see how any soldier could vote with the Democracy. For the very good reason, Billy was not a a soldier and therefore csnnot speak from personal knowledge and experience. The republican organs ai e very sensitive and sure over the skin* ning Aldrich of Rhode Island re* ceived at the hands of Senator Turpie. Taking the assertion of the Inter Ocean as a basis, the Rensselaer Republican intimates that the Indiana senator was unddr the influence of stimulants. Take your medicine, gentlemen, and do not make yourselves ridiculous.

Pai son Owen made no defense of his attempt to violate the alien contract labor l&w when commissioner of immigration. Billy is unalterably opposed to anv com* petition with the oroducts of mo* nopolies and combines, but he was exceedingly willing to admit alien contract labor in the interest of combines to compete with American wage workers.

In his speech here, Tuesday, BiHy Owen pressed senator Brice to the front as a model statesman. Calvin should repent and return when he finds he has reached the point which commends him to the indorsement and favorable consideration of such chumps as parson Owen. Judas was received with open arms and with fawning flattery by the enemies,of Christ; Benedict Arnold was surfeited with gold and place b 7 the ancient enemy of this coun ry.

Another was influence outside the district, secured by parties here (some of them leading republicans) through misrepresentation. We strive to know nothing of Clevelandites and antiClevelandites, although probably we were among the first to declare ior Cleveland after his defeat m 1888. hile many declared Harrison’s triumph relegated him to private life forever, for one we did not believe it, and asked another trial. He was again placed in nomination and triumphantly elected, receiving the votes of the membership of the great Democratic party —of those who tho’t it not good politics to place him in nomination as cheerfully as of those whose first choice! he was. We belive our Senators Turpi • and Voorhees—are doing all in their power tc carry out the pie Iges of the national and state Democracy. If through the mis. ccndxJ of Hill, Murphy, Brice ! *r d Gorman, backed by the repub- ' licau side of the chamber, obstructions are placed in the way of tariff reform, io blame should attach Io the Indiana senators.
