vanced the Democratic cause by writing
such Iabored article as was written for
last weeks Sun. A few such master pie
ces will be the death Of the Republican
party in Lyon county. Why don't few
more Of 'sthe faithful write and tell all
they know about democracy? propose
that we give the gentleman a benefit
and buy him Bible. He quotes from it
and thinks that Bill Shakespeare said
thus and SO. The same old story OF dem
ocratic shot guns and whisky. How well
the good Democrat knew when he arriv-
ed in Emporie 10 years ago, that the
whisky must be saved for the Democrats,
and how well the gentleman knew when
he met Plumb and Bancroft that the
whisky must be saved for some Of the
"faithfui,o 30 instead Of Offering his bot
tie to the % he made peace with them by
giving them his turkeys. A few Of the
faithful" got together; yes. they always
do rally around man who has bottle OF

light on the subject as to who stole the
bottle, satan or Jake Stotler. guess that

Nothing further was heard Of him un-

there two or three years, but had left
