" That Flag Again.

We have no particular war to make
upon the individual members OF the Roy
al (Ciayton) Blue or Loyal League. We
are not of that ultra type that would say
that all of its members are banded to-
gether for corrupt and sinister motives
we kno,c differently.
1 There are good men who have identi-
fed themselves with that organization
for the purpose of endeavoring to shape
matters little decently, and for the best
Interest of the Republican party in this
county. We are well satisfied however
that they are powerless for good, and
will in due time find it out, and will then
come boldly out and expose the " ring "
managers, who are attempting to run
things covertly in the interest Of their
master (Clayton). One Parson Strong
let the cat out the bag during the last
term of the circuit court, when he decar-
ed in the league that he had been a close
observer of the civil conduct Of the State
government under Clayton, and the same
was honest and right. That is sufli-
cient; the parson shall go to the next
(Clayton) legislature-he would make a
splendid member to vote on militia and
Lcveo bills, and would likely bring a
commission home with him should there
happen to be vacancy in the county,
or should there not, he might be Undue
ed to migrate to some other county and
serve the people.
We are anxiously awaiting the report
of the committee on the flag matter, and
ask said committee to thoroughly inves
tigate the matter and find If possible who
tore thai flag, as well as the leaky
members of the fraternity, and new hat
