to pay for testing. The present ven

to give the Cornwell we'll at Root q
Watson's another aud last trial. If he

The Commonwealth wants to know
of US whether the people of Forest
county are growing foolish or weak
minded or whether they are beginning
to more fully realize that the old par
ties are controlled by graceless set
of scoundrels2 For our part we think
it is neither. We don't believe the
people are growing foolish, neither do
we believe the Republicans of Forest
: county are "a graceless set of scoun'
drels," but on the contrary think they
are fully as honorable and upright US
the selfapointed leaders of the Green
back party. IF there is anybody
growing foolish or making an ass OF
himself it is the fellow that wrote the
Commonwealth article, according to
our way of thinking; and if halt IS
called it should be called by the g. b.
party, upon the idiots who write such
, articles, imaging that their effnHons
are going to make converts to the IT,
