In politics this section Of our glorious
Union is decidedly fiat, though there never
was time when politicians of the Gov
Morton stripe were making such herculeau
efforts for advancement as at present.
Entertainment, after entertainment, is
given to the returning regiments IS they
pass through this city; public receptions
are given on an average Of about three times
week, at which everybody is pushed
through the praising process, which is
about As follows: Gov. Morton is always
on hand to praise the really deserving sol
