A stock Spectator may get very
rob. He may own railroads. buy
some newspapers and run some political
conventions, but he cannot W the

have to step down and out.
Richmond Democrat: "Capt. Thomas.
the republican, nominee for congress IN
this district, says a republican pool OF
81. OOO, 900 has been raised to help the
republicans carry the elections this fall,
and that of this sum $40 900 10 to be
brought INTO the third Missouri congress
sional district. 1t will take more than
$40, 900 to defeat A. M. Dnckery, the
gallant democratic standard bearer, and
the republicans had as we'll return the
money to the poor, hard worked clerks,
from whom it was extOrted. In the
meantime would it not be a little more
decent for friend Thomas not to talk 60
much about the bari Ia politics? II
he is to get SAC, 600 to aid in his election,
perhaps he can make a lev things
k.venal in Rome.'"
