orial quillings on the subject in your
last number. This matter is not a
mere "nine days wonder" our citizens
irrespective of party are now aroused
at the iniquity of an election based
solely upon dollars aud cents. The
honor Of holding any office gained by
bribery cannot prove matter Of pride
to anyss bought up possessor. We
truly bslieve that there are some con-
scientious Office holders who despise
such an election as any honest citizen
should, but as money rules the vote,
they quietly allow their names to be
bought and sold in the same manner
or else be subject to a defeat. We
repeat again, our citizens are agitating
the matter, and if we mistake not a
general expression, measures will be
adopted at the coming spring election
which will prove death blow to
such illegal proceedings and restore
to the elective franchise that purity
which guarantees free and uDstained
vote.

country, refused to live with her hus-
band, and separating from her family
in Philadelphia, went to New York.

fellow-managers.
