government is concerned. On New

that every body would wish every 9TH

turkey or alligator, the tive, great par
ties in that state through, their sepre-
sentatives set themselves up in bust
hess BY organizing two legislatures; the
Republicans meeting in the Assembly
Chamber, eiecting Michael Hahn,
speaker. The Democrats "hired a
halP' and '.bushed'' themselves by
electing one Louis Bush speaker. The
Senates also organized, and everything
passed off peaceable-as lovely as at a
wedding. There was no bull-dozing
probably because that cold despot, y
Grant had not as yet called those hor-
rible 'mcnials" in blue away. The
Democrats wanted to rent the Assem-
bly, Chamber, but Gov Kellogg asked
too much for it, SO they entered pro-

The more investigations are honestly
made the clearer will it be brought to
light that not only in. the three states
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana.

give their electoral vote to Gov Tilden
but that in.eyery Southern state. intim-

about the National Capital hugging
his abortion to his breast, afraid to
deliver up the Oregon vote, as stolen,
to the President of the Senate. He
knows he Is thief, and that his pros

hence he has been roaming about, the
