REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

The Sentinel publishes a funny docu'
ment. purporting to be an."Address of the
republican members of Congress TO the
people of the U. States" Now the cream
of the joke is, that three of the four SEN
ators who sign it, are old federalists. OF
the rankest kind! One Of these, Williams
of Maine, distinguished himself during the
last war by publicly declaring that "ihe
doctrines of the Federal party were as
pure as those OF Jesus Christ" Another
of these, Wall of New Jersey. no longer
ago than last winter made the follow ing
significant annunciation in The Senate
chamber: "Here, Sir, in the presence oil
Z" the American people, avow that was
Ga federallst, and acted with that party,
zealously and actively, so long os their
flag waved in New Jersey"
But the most amusing feature about this
uRepubllcan-n so styled address, is the
fact, that, of the four Senator'S whose
names are attached to il, three at least
misrepresent their constituents. These
are DREUEL WILLIAMs.n of Maine,
TGARRET D. WALLrO of New Jersey
and gJ@WMLIAM ALLEN-EO Of Ohio. Add
to this the Chairman of the Conven
ton GTJoHN M. NILEs-rO Of Connecticut
who is in the same category, and we can
form a sufficiently just estimate of the
Democracy of the party they represent.

THE STATE HOUSE.

As far back as 1927 the State House
question was considered one Of vital impor.
lance to this county, and Mr. Aliens exer-
tons during the session of 1926, when that
question was formerly agitated, appear
TO have been we'll appreciated at the time,
and we observe that this consideration was
urged by the Sentinel as one of almost par.
amount importance in the contest between
that gentleman and Mr.. Swift, in 1927.
"But 10 say nothing of local objects or pri-
vate projects, we have some Of a public kind,
such as THE LOCATION OF THE STATE

Feb. 2, 1927.
Such was the language ofthe Sentinel
in 1927, Well, in the progress Of events,
this state house question again came up in
1882. We found Mr.. Allen the same
"faitbful supporter" Of the interests Of the
district, that he was in 1926, and Just as
ready 10 "bteas: the storm Of prejudice" in
behalf OF his constituents. But how did we
find the Hon. John Smith on this occasion?
