And yet there are ,arge number OF law

II ese irighlful examples, want To deliver
opinions from that particular settee.

cents a pound, and the same men take

The State is run by combinations, rings
abound, cliques pravail, good men are
tabooCd aud bad men preferred, angels are
scarce and the devil - loose. he would
not be surprised TO sea popular revolt
against this state Of Affairs which would
land the Democratic party OF this State in
the ditch and put the Republicans on top.

There II the lntelligenCcr crowd lighting
the journal crowd, and the Journal crowd

No PARTY can succee while astate OF Affairs
like that prevails. Therefore. trs upheaval
will not take place AZ the next election. II
will be- AT some other election.
