1t is not the fact that the demo-
Gratis appoint confederate soldiers TO
office that hurts, but the fact that they
discriminate against union soldiers

startles the people who stood by the
old flag.-Cincinnati Gazette.

nomination from the democrats OF
Marion county, for county clerk, not
withstanding his pledge to the one
term principle adopted by the con-
vention at which he was formerly

has all the characteristics OF the Yam
