opposition that we lave been forced to
give it up. The ladies object to such Il

Il pamphlet that any one might consult
Il few years hence. In the face Of their
remonstrances we cavcd in. Quite a
number will stay at twenty, for decade
longer 1t wont make much difference
anyway, the boys can't tel.
Some of the coorrd folks have an idea
that by voting for Weaver, the Green
back man, rs they call him, general
distribution of the "vle stuff" will take
place when he is inausurated. If they
