Moline, March l6, 1878, apl
nara story paper published in Rock
Island aud distributed gratuitously to a
few Molineites has just discovered that the
republican party is defunct institution
and puts on appropriate mourning, and,
over the remains. walls forth in despairing
tones "A Jimmy! and why did ye die?"
The newspapers aad people generally
throughout the city vino have taken any
interest in political matters-even the
preachers have known for several months
that the old republican ring in this city
was troken-had seen its day aud been
assigned to place sin the memory of man
as one of the things that has been. d
course it will be narrowing TO the feelings
of the relatives and friends to have the
burial scene re-enacted and the purified
remains exposed to public gaze, but ir
!, order that the stories 10 this paper may
be kept up to the standard and that its
columns be kept full, they will probably
submit with an outward show of resignation
Politics and news is not in its line SO o.
course it cannot be held responsible.
