have restored Louisiana to the
Union after all.
Sitting Bull is now among tho
irreconcilables, and hes as obstinate
as Bon Waldo.
The country is beginning to feol
rs if it would like to see q littlo
reform that would reform some

The Ohio postmastors rather pitt

Returning Board to count in some
Senators who havo not beon elected.

sentor Spencer highly compli-

stand tho favor of such as Spencer
and Patterson.

"This is my son, Don; you will elect
