Let us rally to ihe support of the good men and true we have'-chosen for alder men. T)iey are ihe jmen after all to do the legislating for the city.' The taayor is but their executive officer. Let us see that the election of ail: the democratic candidates is made sure. ; Will!

Hill was at the bottom of the politics. The j Gover aor no more wania ihe Crosby Excise Commission. bill or the Sax ton Ballot Reform bill placed before him than' the republi cans want to pass Mayor Great's . Rapid Transit bill. Oa the horns bf this dilemma the j Senators found themselves poised- ' The republicans were as deter mixed t bring forth ballot reform and excise bills aa the democrats were ' determined to frus trate; them audi push forward the ' -Mayor's Rapid Transit bilL The Sen ate filibustered from 11 x'c'ock in the morning until 7 in the evening and then took recesa ;. td 8:3aM The Press (rep) says: "The wrangle in the Senate today was almost as lively as last night. Senator Faesett said that 'a future the' republicans proposed to rule the Senate. , Several Senators protested against the treatment aobor- -ded them by tbe (Lieutenant Govern or, characterixisg the i action as most outrageous. General Jones threaten ed to allow no farther business to be transacted unless he were allowed to make a statement, and 1 then went on saying thai Mr.'Er win forgot thai the rules were made for. the protection of the minority. Then the Rapid Transit. bill was taken op again- The -World (democratic) aays: The Senators awoke this; morning with this " bare blades in It their hands 'and they have been wielding them savage ly all day. ; The masks were thrown aside. !- Republicans openly avowed thai they would not allow ihe Rapid Transit bill to be further considered until the High Lieense and Saitoh Electoral Reform bills had baen dis posed ot Neither of these bills hav7 ing been vet reported, republicans had the old nerve to ask that a bill almost ready for passage should be laid aside till their political measures should be passed. Th6ir game waa twofold, for by i holding back the Rapid Transit bill until after 'May 1 they hope to coerce the mayor. Now the temper )of both parties is such thai each may wade in and slaughter every bill of its opponents." Again we see the high hand of; the republic can which they never., hesitate to put forth in utter disregard of law and justice when fair means fail their purposea. : . . i 1 . i i l ' - ; ' , ' j- ' Croup, whooping cough and bronchitis . immediately relieved by bhiloha ture. sold pyA. w. ooodwin a Co. t ' -JI i rwBat.1 J The stables and barn on Wilmisg ton street' opposite OoL Faiaon s warehonse, containing four good stables, harness room, carriage house and loft, are for rent. ly to i.'f:-'!-' i; Dr. W.1 BBrrr.
