servation discovers the sources Of the rumor One
hears in the hotels in the street. or in any place
where politicians most do songregate, that Doug
las and Walker want to back down. Inquire
who these are that are loudest and most earnest

clerks in the different departments, OF attaches IN
some way of government. One can make his own
inference.

tIf the telegraph report is true, then the object
sought ia be aeenmpls he'd by the removal OF STAN

notorious members from surreptitiously btingn
the article into the building in their stomachs."
