Republican organs do not hesitate
to say that the party leaders hav'
broughtpolitical disgrace, ruin and
defeat upon themselves and theil
party by their doings while acting
Us SERVANTS Of the people, and tina
the times demanded a change il
the affairs Of the government. II
is not to be wondered at, then, that
the elections this fall have turned
the scale and completely revolu-
tionized the political aspect of the
nation.

allowing Ben. Butler to retire from
political life.

Republicans $4,000 majority only
two years since, this fall elects her
Democratic State ticket and gains

by the Republican party, cast their
