The present Legislature Is a warning to |
the people OF the state, and a proof OF the /
dangerous character of the Democratic par |
". The majority OF that body, in an unu-

usage and at the dictatiOn OF Speaker RAN

the last Presidential election, when ma /

Democrats would be enabled To carry four. /
