In 1854, when Know>Nothingism carried
the day, they elected the member of tbs
Legislature. In 1860, when the Democrats
undertook to elect three members, they were
all defeated and Radical returned. But,
with these two exceptions. cur Radical
friends have had long dry spell of it, 60

is concerned. Notg. thanks to Democrats
who took another New Departure" and to

The Radical family is happy In this; but
this is not all. Their mighty leaders in this
county have formed league, offensive and
defensive, and are now unit. The Lion OF
Besismer Steel and the Lamb of Shook have
lain down together, and the child of Lloyd

The happy union Of these two colossal tn

A family thus successful-thus united

happy!

Now, it is true that Democrats are dig
posed to smash craven images, not being
addicted to man-worship. Iudeod, if they
have a. fault, it is an over amount of jealousy
towards each other. Hence, to then, a struc

But not so our Radical brethren. They
hang around greatness, achen IL is of the
right kind They cling to their idols with
moro than Eastern devotion. Hence they
will cling to these mighty pillars of their
political fabric. They will grow up and en-
twine themselves around this pair of Yam

are surmounted. The very idea Of cupid
