It is asserted about town by the Re.

to follow tho programme laid down BY
Ex-Governor Stevenson: tO.wit, to
put national issues in Tic lack.

Then why seek to dodge the true is.
suCH Are they afraid Of a discussion

The trick lacks tho requisite thickness;
aud tho people will condemn at The
polls such trashy evasion Of tho true

The Board accepted the investment, and
that security now forms n part Of the
invested school fund. This is the han

their false clamor. No one denies that
tho investment was constitutional, but
since it is rcd fag to the bull, why
