THE Burlington Gazette thinks il
the duty of all the Democratic mem.
bers of the Legislature to first cast \
complimentary vote for some good,
honest, faithful Democrat, say tho
Hon. Shep. LcfIlcr, and then vote
with the honest, wcll-meaning Re-
publicans, for some good, decent man,
irrespective of party. The vote of the
Democrats can be made available for
the credit Of the State and the smash
ing of corrupt Senatorial rings, and
1t would seem to be both wisdom and
policy to "bounce" these merchantable
fellows.-Ddr. Democrat.
"Bounce these merchantable fel-
lows. That's good for the Democrat
and Gazette. The public would nev.
or guess but once how they or the
Democratic members of the Legisla'
ture would bounce such chaps. This
application Of the sentiment II am
holier than thou" by the Democratic
journals, 10 very fitting to them, just
as it was to the individual who in
vented the phrase. There will be ne
opportunity for Democratic trickery
gentlemen at Des Moines. Better dry
