thought, free speech and free press, - just
SO long as one thinks, speaks and writes
to suit their tastes; but whenever a man,
and especially Democrat. undertakes tc
think, speak or write according to his owr

in accordance with the commands of the
Democratic nabobs and grand moguls, ,ther
the free press must be muzzled. free speech
must be stopped, and free thought become;
nuisance.
