Don't Wa',t to Giue the Peoplea Chance
Faribaut Democrat.

Faribaut Democrat
These amendments, Just as they evidently
are to the Merrill jobbers, were opposed
with all the vigor Donnelly g. Co. could
command. 1t was not proposed to give the
people the slightest chance to get rid of the
contract until the full profits had been Sc
cured. AS it is the contractors have all the
advantage. The books must be taken, and
those in use given up, and when the new
books have once been supplied and forced
into service, it will be hard to induce three
fourths of the people to vote in favor of the
change. It matters little how poor the
books and how ridiculous the law under
which they are furnished. One
fourth the voters of any county, can force
the other three-fourths to retain the law /;
but with this great advantage, Donnelly and
Merrill are dissatisfied, and well they may
be. Had the amendment been liberal
enough to have allowed majority of the
people to decide whether the law should be
operative or not, no opponent Of the bill
would have found any fault but that was
not the object. The law is an unjust law, a
discriminating law, swindling law and an
unconstitutional law, and majority of the
people will not be slow in finding it out and
setting the seal of their disapprobation upon
it, by remembering the imbeciles and rascals
who have fastened it upon them.

Your answer to the so-called religious par

their desire to have this city such model

sin to ride to church, and give the poor ami
mails chance to rest after week of toll.
