wish to say to the Commercial man that if
he or any of his correspondents is the author of
the above, that he or they are liars. My first
Republican vote was cast for John C. Fre-
mont; ever since then I have voted the Re-
publican ticket and intend to do so as long as
1 vote at all. love their principles and fully
endorse their platform. 1 would say to the
Commercial that though their lies have been
so numerous for the past ten months, with
those they will not gain the victory, and the
Republicans will carry every Congressional
District, besides giving Daniel f. Davis so
large majority that the Democrats, Green
back, Fusion and Confusion (all together)
will be buried so deep on the 18th of Septem-
Der next that resurrection will be impossi le
and will help all L can to do it. As the
Commercial has omitted the second initial let
ter OF my name, and believing as they do in
the damnable count-out and State steal of last
Winter, according to their method, shall ex-
pect and do truly desire to be counted-out of
that party now and forever.
Yours respectfully,
g. NJ. JEwETT.

One day our dog Towser was lyin in the

couldn't, coss he had to catch 'em, and bimeby
bee lit on his head and was working about
like the dog was hisn. Towser he held his
head still, and when the bee was close to his
nose, Towser winked at him like he sed, you
see what this duffer is doin', he thinks Pm
lily of the valley which isn't opened yet, but
you just wait till 1 blossom and you will
see some fun, and sure enuf, Towser opened
his mouth very slow, so as not to friten the
bee, and the bee went into his mouth. Then
Towser shut mis- eyes and his mouth too, and
had begun to make peeceful smile, wen the
bee stung him, and you never see lily of the

For the first time in Is years the Democracy
is back in power in both branches of Congress
We propose to celebrate her return to power
by wiping from the statute book those degrad-
ing restrictions on freemen (the election 1aws)
and by striking away the shackles which par

tend to stop until we have stricken the last

book-until we have an untrammelled election
