10 your weekly issue Of Dec. 81, from one
who signs himself "Poor Yorric L. K" I
would beg leave to say few words in reply.
The writer, in the exuberance of his exul-

rioue," the Republicans are dismsyed and
the victory wondered A." '',he smoke Of
battle is dissipa,ed, and behold the plain is
strewn with the carcasses Of dying ard de-
faLc, Republicans" Wonderful ca,a-tro-

a Democratic strongkold-eone Demo
cratic, and the Republican party dead ard
buried. What stencil must be there, my
countrymen." "The political features of
congress already forecast" and this dead
party done the forecasting. 70 shades of
the departed.) Yet the ''enigms seems diff
6cult to solve" Republicans give one rea-
son, Democrats another" (AnotLer di-

selves in the mantle of patriotism and cried

it must he %, for poor Yorrick L. K. says it
is. He says the war ended" Another es-
tonishine statement; and then the "Republi-
