write as to Rings. Now, let him
tell US what is there to choose as be-
tween Carroll Ring, q Groome Ring
and Hamilton Ring? Rings are es-
sential to the ultimate and continued
success of parties as of individuals. A
contribution of brains, property and ex-
perience in the management of "the
masses" will always prevail against
spasmodic efforts of individuals, no
matter how brilliant and energetic their
talents may be. This lesson the histo-
~ of all parties for the last fifty years
teaches US. Away then with all filings

ganization. As to the announcement of
the Independent movement, Swallowed
forth by Ras Ia Urbe, little need be said.
