Dizziness prevails in the political
world. Most Of the politicians of

where there is great deal of talk
and very little action, and thus so
far as the affairs Of our own State
are concerned there is nothing do

beginning to be made however.
The State Convention meets here
in this month and will probably

with him on the outlook there.

however promptly replied to all Of
their slanderous assertions and thus
removed the sting before any harm
could be done. From their tactics
