excellent aud satisfactory speeches, his

of sustaining is work. We nre hni,py to
say, hat We did not hear aAsord "fopposi-

is.lty question w the Republicans, aini
they alone will oppose the Amendments,
not as unit however. for we hear Of
ni,iny Republicans who will vote for
them.
The campaign ofitst week developed
the faet that tire Democrats of Grunge are
United more closely than they have been
