sensation when Boscobel 4Esculapian stepped

badly fooled on the election result. They
thought they were sure of that town by 40

house on Saturday evening and extended him

furnished music for the occasion. Hale SAYS
many changes have taken place in his old
England home, but that none so surprised
him as the change in the movements of his
party friends here. He could not go the
Greenback movement in his politics, and

SOME one in Lancaster has no more
sense than TO put an intimation in print that
Judge Mills had hand in getting out bogus
opposition tickets with his name on them, It
Is supposed to be the same simpeton who
wanted to ride Lancaster men on a raj, be-
cause they objected to railroad tax There
we're bogus tickets printed. OF course it was
done for the purpose of cheating the voter, as
bogus money is made for the purpose of cheat
ing the receiver. Making bogus tickets and
bogus money should be in law crimes with
like penalties, and we want Judge Mills when
he goes to Madison to see that they are put in
the same chapter But the man who runs a
printing machine ought to know that the right
side of question is never profited by at
tempts at crime. Judge Mills and the Repub,
lican ticket lost votes by the bogus tickets
The Republicans of Potosi tell us that those
tickets drove from US thirty to forty votes
and thereby defeated Cover. Those bogus
tickets will come up to weaken the Republic
can party for years to come. He is no Repnb-
lican and doe5 not know how to make or
strengthen Republican party who makes or
attempts to use bogus tickets. Recognizing
persons who engage in such transactions as
Republicans has driven many good man out
of the party and always will have that ten
dency.
