have the cruelty TO deny to their fellow Democrats
in the interior the privilege Of selling the spoils of

racy are talking about their being balances ds WELL
If Iammsuy, after yirtuously serving as tho bal
aace of power, upon receiving its reward permits
the Legislature 10 20 its own wicked way, the City

willing TO tempt to map ont tn, organization o.

members of the Legislature will begin 10 reach here
IN larger numbers tomorrow. After their arrival

Democratic factions in ,he Legislature may be OK
pected in relation 20 the OIL 'cs in the Lcg4la
