The Democrats in Maine are running small
catch-penny side show to the Greenbackers' circus
and the circus itself Is fraud.
It's a pity Mr.. Thurman's delicate health keeps him
out of the Ohio canvass. He must be burning with
zeal to take the stump Tor Ewing.
Perhaps it is worth considering as a Constltu-
tional question whether or not a republican form
of government is guaranteed IN YazOO County.

ties and prefers to name his disbursing agents
He has probably heard of those wildcat coal specu-

The Wallace Committee is now fumbling around
in Boston trying to find some testimony as to TIM

more preacher, named Uriel Graves who holds
meetings in the City Hall Square in that city,
Graves tells his slender audiences that gold and
