A correspondent wants 10 know u we
think the custom OF treating j. good
thing for candidates 10 adopt just before
el, ction time. Well We only know by eA-
p,rience. The republicans and democrats
used good deal OF liquor in the late cam
paign, anu both parties had plenty of votes
On the other hand Neal Dow and hi party
run the campaign gu water, and They dlIh
have votes enough for a quorum. GU

There seems TO be discrepancy, or
something Of that nature, between Mr..
Fogg and Scion Chase. In Fridays
Chranicle, Mr.. Fogg undertakes to clear
up the subject as follows: why does
Chase continue to fight everybody that be-
lieves in the same principles he advocates
but who do not acknowledge him as their
leader. First, he Is achrOnic otfice-seeker.
Second, he don't understand the first
principles of Grrenbackism. Third. he Is
extremely selfish. Fourth, he don't know
what he wants. Fifth, he is in his dotage.
Sixth, he is better acquainted with Jewell
"bar'l" then he is with he Greenback
platform. Seventh, he holds postofiice.
Eighth, Blaine got his son pension OF
$50 a month. Ninth, he is half mule, al
ways kicking up at the wOrng end. Tenth
Dingley pats him on the back. Eleventh,
he has been in seven different parties, ana
never has found out which suits him best
