confess there is not much to encourage the

olgarchy, anxious to enslave the nation to
retain themselves in place and power. lie

that they would find no redress for the
grievances they have suffered at the hands
of Republican misrule in this State, but by
uniting themselves, heart and soul, with the

plauded. C. W. Lentz was now called to
the stand, and made brief speech on the
relative merits of the county candidates, and
