A Great Flurry Has Been Caused By The

death of a few hundred people in Florida from yellow fever. Yet typhoid fever killseachyearita onethonsand in Michigan, and diphtheria even more, without causing much agitation outside of the stricken homes. Will the intelligent Demócrata of the county be so Bourbon as to vote their county ticket straight without scanning it carefully ? Look at Pettifogger Lehman, for instaure. Is it possible that such a man can be elected prosecuting attorney against John F. Lawrence, a good lawyer and aman of unquestioned integrity ?

The free trade papers are pointing with glee to the 40,000 unemplcyed men in Chicago. Yet in London, Eng., 481 girls recently applied for one position.
