Donnelly says Of Seagrave Smith, his late I'M
successful op: onent for the State Senate:
I've are glad to see that leading Democratic
papers ale putting the stamp Of dlsapprobation
on Smith. He is unworthy the respect OF any
decent man OF any party. God Almighty cast
him in a very low mould-and we hope he
broke the mould in disgust when he saw what
he had made
Now if Donnellys wish has been fulfilled his
chances for counterpart are pretty slim. But
it strikes US that it is rather severe OH the Al
mighty, to lay the works of the devil at His
door. He creates the mould and casts the man
i'll it; but it's the devil, lgnatius, who after
wards dethrones the man and puts the politi-
clan in Wright Co. Eagle.
Well, we thought it was John Kenne-
dy that led Seagrave astray but per-
haps it is all the samcIthing.
