and experience so we'll gu aliied'
The above would probably be enough to
satisfy any reasonable man who Mr. Barker
is, but for fear it may not be sufficient for the
radical-organ -in-chief We will give Lieut.
Gov. Cues opinion Of Mr.. Barker. The L..
Gov. is editor of the Fort Dodge Northeast
and the State organ must ackn owledge that
he is very proper good radical. but witha'
fair and honest politician, and that he is
not given to indiscriminate putting of political
opponents. However. should these extracts,
fail to enlighen the State Register, i, can
get some more information as to who W. r.
