Why don't you tell your readers the
whole truth in the matter-how the Con-

The former refuse to allow an organi-
cation of the Senate and the latter re-
fuses to allow an exchange of the cap
tured Senator for fear the Senate may be
organized, although liberal advantage
has been allowed in the way of exchange
There is no doubt of perfect under
standing between jeff and his friends

the Legislature is prevented, there can
be no legislation. No provision can be
made to carry on the State Government
or preserve the credit of the State, and
no appropriations can be made for the
benefit of her soldiers or their families.
The people throughout the country can
not fail to see this concert of action be-
tween jeff. Da7is and his friends, and
they will not fail to rebuke it terribly at
