Thursday Evening, Jan. 27, 1893
RIcH!-Some men have enough brass in
their face to tell any thing and expect it to
be believed. Last week, the Eagle blamed
the long session to the public printing-this
week to the Wings. What cause will be re-
qferred to next week, we are unable to say. |
Already it has challenged the credulity of
the public as to the sanity of the editor
The first idea was ridiculous and would not
20 down. The second is simply absurd
The Legislature is entirely, completely un.
der the control OF Locofocoism, and the
Wings can do nothing. They are power
less. Next we suppose that the Eagle will
charge the Wings with making and adopt
ing the new Constitution, which just at this
time looks about ss much like "fzzle" as
the Legislation of the present session. 1t
is as ridiculously absurd to suppose that any
good can come out Of the present Legisla-
ture as to suppose that any has been done
by the "new Constitution in the hands ofits
friends" We would as quickly believe
that the shad could jump up Niagara falls,
and yet it had sense enough, after two or
three attempts, to give up in despair and ac-
knowledge that "it could not be did" Ii
we had any reason to suppose that the
E.present wisdom'' of the State Of Ohio would
exhibit the good sense Of the fish in any
reasonable time, we would have some hopes
that an adjournment would take place short
ly. But sad to state after repeated failures
and with all the information derived from
outside sources. the members still persist in
the belief that they can accomplish natural
impossibiities. The editor Of the Eagle
ought to be among them to fll up the set.
7 Col. MEDrLL's PoPuLARITY.-It is anus

by the Eagle to the vote of this township II

Eckley, the influence of liquor was brougll
to bear iu its most powerful form, and in ad
dition to this, W'higs, personal friends
Medill, were begged for their votes. Th

in it's sophistry, has drawn ought these rcr
iniscences, and if it is what it pretcnds
