Of vile men TO secure their votes
The discussion OF the questions ai
issue is abandoned, and the arguments
of opponents are generally answered
blythe simple phrase-"That is lie"
or, che is liar" accompanied usu-
ally by some blasphemous adjective
that shows that profanity is also part
Of the argument. In general all who
oppose free whisky. and the unlimited
extension Of slavery, come in for
share Of such arguments.
BY virtue Of our place, as editor
Of an indepenpent paper that has MOI

Of whisky and slavery. we have recei'

liar. Stop a moment at one OF thu
UNDERGRADUATES holes of this county
where candidates whisky is guzzled

drunken rabble. To this is added b.
some stump speakers. and some bar

drunken candidates, and their drunk

We have already shown how sig

death Of Miss Jones. They sue

confirmed every essential circumstance

except the $40. Yet there are ur
scrupulous men who proclaim, in tn
face Of the we'll known facts. that W
