he forgot to add that the same measure
was extremely distasteful'' to two
thirds of the Republicans of the district.
Having gotten himself in good working
order the writer trips lightly up to his
work and drops down into the ring with
the assertion that Mr.. Hazelton ebay
ing received the nomination the first
time '.after bitter contest almost
suffered defeat"
Now we do not wish 20 unnecessarily
harrow the feelings of this weak Drained
lmbecle but we should have been pleased
to learn his definition of the word. If

popular Democratic candidates run in
the district, against |, 1873 for the Repub-
lcan nominee of two years before is
"almost defeat his ideas are peculiar
to say the least. But let this pass and
come to his second charge, made with
the proper displayof blue and red light,
that King, the Democratic Greenback
combination candidate of 1873, was
cheated out of his seat by a Republican
returning board and then refused to
contest because he was bought off
This is truly serious or would be were it
not 50 ridiculous. The story will be
easily recognized however, it has done
service for many years and been many

The only TRANCE part of the tale is

existed no reason why he should seek to

King to do was to have presented his
claim and it would have been at once
honored. That King, who refused to
withdraw from the fight but preferred to
take his chances as against Judge Goth
rem one of the most popular Democrats
of the district rather than forego his
hopes of reaching congress should, at
the last moment, when the goal of his
ambition was in his grasp, have stepped

and imbeciles but it will have no weight

Not being aware to what an extent
his tutors have been quilting him the
amateur journalist narrates with much
gusto how the second assembly district
was carried for Hazelton two wears agO
by a proper distribution Of patronage.
We are sorry for the party but truth

fact that the second assembly district
was not carried for Hazelton two years
ago but for his opponent Col. j. G.
Clark. Seeming to find exquisite
pleasure in displaying his ignorance OF
