handsome majority Messenger.
Hes-a Democratic majority. Mr. Barlow's !
vote in this city was composed of nearly |
500 Democratic votes and perhaps 100 Re
publican votes. II that Is anything to brag
IF, the Messenger is welcome 10 it.
The Messenger says that Mr.. Barlow |
goes to Washington as a Republican"
Having made the greenhack dodge and the
Door Greenbackers serve his turn. he IS now
through with it and them. And we shall |
probably find in the Messenger no more re-
oicings over Greenback successes at the
Nest.
