election. They demanded OF the re-
publican party absolute acquicscence
TO all their plans or the defeat of the
party: Their gain is-a Legislature SO
overwhelmingly democratic that it will
refuse to enact a single law in behalf

the fact thar the Germans remained
loyal to the republican party. 1t does

mis- home paper and all the time sponge
on his neighbors for the reading of it.
We like to hear a mar complain when
asked to subscribe for his home paper.
that he takes more than he can read
now, and then go and borrow his neigh
bor's or Loaf around until he gathers all
the news from it. We like to see a
man run down his home paper as not
worth taking, and noW and then beg
the editor for a favor in the editorial
line. We like to SEGA mechanic or a
merchant refuse to advertise in bis
home paper, and then try to get a share
of the trade which the newspaper
brings to town. We like tosee this; it
