quantities sharp quick eyes, Romanish nose hair sandy

Congressman from Maine who paid political editor
$40 to write his acceptance of the nomination. and $40

The honorable - member doubtless valued the brains

ten dollar speech, with the belief that he was man

political legislator who has been indebted to editor
for all the public distinction he ever acquired.
