Indepen- dent of the anonymous manner in which the attack was made,the aim of the paper was to strike the members of the ¢ mittee whose names were mentioned in conncetion with memorial exercises. One of these was Louis Heimrod, who, for some years back has been one of the most active workers of the democracy in this city, especially in the Secona Ward, where he is one of the best established merchants in trade.
