The Germans of this their adopted
country, who Of late years have been soreIy
vexed and annoyed by sumptusry and vex-
atous laws passed by the Republican
party, will hail with delight the following
opinion upon that subject by Grover Cleve-
and, the Democratic candidate: in q

carefully kept in view. Thus laws un-
necessarily interfering with the habits and
customs Of any of our people, which are
not offensive to the moral sentiments Of the
civilized world, and which are consistent
with good citizenship and the public wei
fare, are unwise and vexstous.'

The johnson County Journal, poor
soul, is quite sure that Judge Bross did
sell liquor "to men who were full of whis-
ky, men who are in the habit of getting
full, and to minors" in Vienna. 1t says il
has proof of this and intimates that this
proof consists in the fact that persons of
the description above given GOT whisky
aud drank it. THE BULLETIN suggestion,
that if such persons obtained whisky they
did so from or through resident dealers in
Vienna, causes the Journal to exclaim thus
