The Republican does more rand ON
guessing about the post Office this
morning-or rather does more lying.
Sunday it expressed the "opinion" that
the wrong.party was arrested. The U /.
S. grand jury was of the opinion just
opposite 10 this. We never claimed the
lad had stolen $50 on the LIST of Janu-

we made any proposition to VIM. Jay
to let the boy so, guilty or not guilty,
il the loss was made good The facts
in this case will come out in the trial
in due time, before the U. s. district

now in the newspapers. We shall not
expect the Republican to tell the truth
