''Thst don't amount 10 notfin at all, said
Uncle Jnshua; ga good many til 1usand of tenn
perance Wings voted for Hubbard. and good
many rum Wings voted for Chandler; and
when the legislature comes to meet Crosby

governor as any one of EN-, and better, too. if
the State goes over the dam the Cd Of Noven-
Der, and you may depend it's drifting that
way, or else I've forgot how to cipher. Jest
Look at the legislature. Lastyear in the Sem

Wing. and now the Wings have elected fonr-
teen Senators, and the Democrats only seven,
leaving nine or ten no choice: or doubtful
And then in the House it amt much better.
L ist year we had 4 clear majority Of more

we should have more than ten majority. And
