other nonoposts have seeded upon letting the bills in
their interest chang fire" until the closing hours OF tho
session, and then rushing them through altogether

opposition, and fer another year rule the people OF Ne"
jersey Their lobbyists silent but have knowing
air and which seems 10 carry with II the airnatoh
that they "haye things fixed" The opponents OF Erie
need no longer console themselves with the idea that aS
long as Fisk silent they may be; their energy and ac
tiyy if needed all, will be necessary from this time
forward TO the end the session, else they will be
swamped completely by the unexpected passage at the
closing hours OF the bills which they are DESTROYS OF de-
feating.
