ex-President johnson slashiDg around with
an eve on the United States Senatorship,
and having poor prospect for that posi-
ton, unless he can make an alliance with

children. a species of nuptial enthusiasm to
which the law applies very unpleasant
title. Oregon politicians have regarded the
case as 60 very plain that Nipple would
have to resign as to speculate about his sue

who would fill the vacancy, is Democrat.

fore, is Hippje or nothing, and it is supposed
that they 60 their death on Nipple.
