The death Of Senator Sumner leav-
es Senator Chandler of Michigan, the

Some of our saloOn-keepers deny
that they are selling wine and whisky,

-s'The Saloon-keepers proposition
published in the Farmer, which was Of
fered as the basis of compromise comes

says ''that no whisky shall be sold or
givenby the drink" How magnani-

are cleft out in the cOld.''

the members of the council holding
over to the Saloon-keepers proposition
on "Whisky," only. What a brave act
of moral courage. He also says ITEM
perance fanatics call our candidates
whisky bloats." That is not so. He
can't produce the mans name among
temperance men who said it. But We
now say, We are fearful that they will
be caught in bad company.
