r One paper the st. Louis EmpOri
, Ledger denounces the appointment il
3 unmeasured terms. 1t is so biased b.
{ jealousy and personal hatred, and il
statements are so VIGOROUSLY false
, as 10 destroy. utterly, any influence i
Z might otherwise have. 1t is th'
! moutli-pieee of the post-Oflice strikers
, and INDUCES in all the foolish ant
weak statements they feed it. WI
coald have asked nothing better thar
the course pursued OF the STRIKERS
and the st. LOuis-Emporia paper.
To show the contrast we print below
the opinions OF a dozen or more dis
interested papers:
The following from the Paola Spirit
