been strutting among the friends of tenn
perance in this state-is out with letter,
published in the NeaoS, i'll which he
makes an astronomical calculation that
the late election settled against the So
called Graham law. Itneeds no ass-tro-
nomical calculation to determine the fact
that Graham, politically speaking, is an
ass. He claims to be republican and,
as such, worried his borrowed auti-hquor
bill through, republican legislatures

republican party i'll this state, as that
seed time and harvest will come. And
there is no greater evidence needed to
show that he believed it would do So,
than the fact that he went on the other
side at the very next election working
with the very party that oppos-
ed his bill offering himself as candi-
date for office. from congressman down
to the lowest office in gift of the people;
voted for the party last fall. that made
anti-temperance an issue and having
failed to reach any particular elevation

cause of temperance in this state, than
