pointed:
Have you n candidate en- your tirke, who
once gave libel to II. A. I au'ti-ld OF Sarra'

Have you a candidate on your ticket who

punishment for malfeasance in cftice, and

Have you got candidate. who pays his
homes, debts in Greenha,ks, though the same
be for money borrowed in gold coin, and
who processes to be follower Of the meek

see that Sell, is still much troubled about
Oxendine's stolen whisky. No doubt it WAS
soms Prison Brig fellow that got it, or come
fellow who ought to be on that celebrated
vessel.
That German. at Ophir, trying to capture
old Tom Jamison's vote, is rich. decidedly
rich; he no doubt was pumping Tom, just to
see how loud he would sqneal.
But enough for this week. must close.
Yours Truly,
ROBIN ROUGH.
