The REPUBLICAN PARTY IN VISION
sIN.-The Republican party, since Jan.
LIST, 1860 has controlled the executive
and Legislative branches of the State
Government-for fourteen years it has
been in power, and during that time
has made history which will never
cause a blush of shame to an individual
member Of the party; rather an ex-
ultant nd just pride in the lustre OF
its ach evements and management. 1t
goes out of power with the proud re-
cord of never having misappropriated
dollar of the public fund couscient-
iously and economically administering
tie affairs of State; with an honorable
and untarnished war record aud be
sides.with the record of having engraft-
ed in our organic law that all men are,
in civil and political point of view
equal. To its energy, loyalty. fore
sight and prudence is the country in
debted for Its universal prosperity
Aud with this record and these achieve
ments, does the Republican party turn
tie archieyes of State over to the ere
formers. EAU Clare Free Press.

Railroad Consolidation.

A scheme is now on foot which fail
ed about year ago, to consolidate the
Milwaukee L. St. Paul and the Chicago
l. Northwestern Railroad Companies
The stocks of both roads, if the pro-
posed arrangement is carried out, will
be combined under the name of the
"Chicago, Milwaukee 4 St. Paul Rail-
road Company" There will be an
addition of IS 900, 900 to the share ca.
pital which will be divided among
the shareholders of the old companies
ten per cent. upon Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railroad stock. and twenty per
cent. upon Chicago and Northwestern.
The failure of this for a lease, or con.
solidation, which was attempted about
year ago, was due to the opposition
of the Chicago and Northwestern Ger
man interests, which were represented
here by agents from the other side.
It is understood that these Interests
are now anxious to bring about the
arrangement defeated a year ago, the
Germans believing that it will be great
ly to the advantage Of both roads to
have no competitor between them.
The earnings of both roads are greatly
in advance of 1872, and should con-
solidation or lease be perfected they
would be still greater-N. Y. Times

their abode there. In Florida, the

of the other Southern States, too,
Northern guests are filing up the

THE LAST TRYST.

Over brown mOors and wither'd leas
The angry winds we're sweeping;
Over the great grey northern seas,
The crested waves were leaping;
And You and stood close together,
In the chilling seam OF the wintry weather,
AS the bare gaunt branches, overhead,
Shook their lingering leaflets, gold and red,
While in every fatering word we said,
Rang the pitiful wall for the days that were dead;
For, by the sad seas, meath the storm-beat trees,
Our last tryst we were keeping.
l scarce could hear the words you sobbed,
Amid your passionate weeping,
And the glow from eager prayer was robbed,
By the chill around US creeping;
From the silent paths where in summer weather,
Youth, Joy and music had met together,
From the cry of the sea news fitting past,
Der the wild white waves In the bitter blast,
From the breakers that crashd on the hollow sand,
From the sough Of the breeze DER the dull, damp
land,
From sea and shore rose "No more, no more"
As our last tryst we were keeping
There was not pale bud left in sooth,
Mid the dry leaves round US heaping;
The bitter harvest of reckless youth,
Times iron hand was reaping;
Our lips still said, Forever, forever"
As the trembling fingers clung together.
But even then each sad heart knew
What fate and circumstances meant to do,
And the mighty bilows boom'd like knelI
AS we turned apart from that long FAREWELL
And to wind, and rain, and the moaning main,
Left the last tryst OF our keeping-[AH the Y.ar
Round.
