fcer with whom we are acquainted; they WERE
| bravng potcians-they exercised their influence
against the freedom of elections; hence they come
| under the denuncation of the rule prescribed BY
Thomas jefferson, and have received their reward.
! Contrast the above with the concluding sentence
| of the same paragraph, and draw an inference:
"AIthough there were NO OTHER evidence, than
the course of the Office holders who have been dis
missed, within our own borders, their course SINCE,
| furnish sufficient evidence Of that fact
| What logic, what contradiction! There has been
prescription for opinions sake, every candid wing

course of prescribed ofice-hoders since their remo-
moval is sufficient evidence of the fac" that they

sales commencing on the 4,h May 1910, the editor
of the Standard drew up signed, and procured more
| than dozen other names to card highly compli-
mentary to him as gentleman and an officer, which
was published at his request. Was this done with
the hope of inducing him to grant unwarranted ia
vors or it deemed act of justice, courteous
" bestowed! We leave it to the editor to explain.
