injuries they received at the lime.

next struck horse twenty feet east OF

One OF Tie most cnrious things about

people were fatally injured. A white

knocked twenty feet from where hewas
standing and his nmbrcalla w;is torn to

an if he wrote it at the mouth Of

for Scott, because no belongs to tho
strongest party. lie says that party
is corrupt and tho officers Of the State
ought to be changed. but ho is not
going to vote to change thcm, because
they belong to the strongest party.
He thinks everybody ought to join

by everybody joining that party it
will become weaker. That is prob.
lem wo cannot solve. We cannot all
be Senators, nor have all Of us had

great reasons why we cannot SEQ as
