Democrats, say, that the comet
was the fore-runner of Republican
defeat Don't forget it Mr.. Demo
crat that there are two sides to all
things.
THE Democracy are pleased with
Ben Butler, few years ago they de-
clared that he should be hung. The
probability is that he is to be their
next candidate for the Presidency.
BAD appointments, and reckless
appropriation, and party mismanage
ment IN the hands of unworthy men

turned suicide rather than submit to
such evils.

The report prevails that there will
be many contested Congressional
election cases. 1t has become almost
a common thing to contest before
Congress for seat. The majority of
Congressional candidates at best are
only tricksters, and just SO long as
Congress is allowed to pay both | I
sides in the contest, there viii be con
tests for seats. To trickster 1t makes
no difference whether he has a Just
claim or not, if he can get a hand
some sum out of the Treasury, for [
expenses in contested case.
