Whipping Out Che Radicals,

itself all over the State. Even here
in county where we have 2,000 Of q
Radical majority, they threaten to
degrade leading Radicals by slapping
their jaws, or by publicly denouncing
them as liars and towards. And for
their protection and encouragement,
they have their rebel piekets strung
from one liquor shop 10 another With
800 Loyal Leagusrs In this city, all
we have to say is, that if they submit
to such indignities from. rebel assail-
ants, they desePvete be degraded and
driven ont ofthe State. Let the Rad

assail no man, but if they are attack
