OUR handsome friend w. lei. Coch-

Republican enterprise. One proposed
tc prove that it was. 1t is not publish>
cd in the interest of the Republican
party, but the effect is all the FAME.
An evidence Of this, we refer to the fact
that recently the Muncie Gnd., J Times.

circulation an entire editorial page OF
the States. The effect can only be lm-
agined.
