UlO ILL LLLcttilllg LUIS StUCCUiULl.Private Dalzell lias discovered why Corporal Tanner has been dismissed. He was only a private and worse still an Irish labourer’s son. How the brigadiers and bosses winced at the plebian contact. That is all there was in it. All the other pretexts are false and intended only to deceive fools. This was Tanner’s only offence. A private can no more hold office than a leper or a nigger. The promises of more pensions which poor Tanner was trying to carry out were intended only to be valid till election. They were all lies, the men who made them all knaves and we all fools for relying upon them !” The Democrats are alarmed at this talk, as to them it appears to indicate the desertion of the private into their ranks, and they have no desire to be handicapped with that load.
