There Il ne doubt that there Is altogeth-

On the esAer Feet

Any criticism al Albany paper may
make Of anything coming out of Salem
. answered by the cry of jealousy.
The jealousy is all on the other foot,
Is was manifested BY the very thing
the DEAEoCRAr criticized last week. The
State tournament was held In Albany,
bat the Salem Secretary sought to con-
vey al the little honor there was to
Salem, by making reception there q
part of the proeee iings. when they had
nothing to do with them. jealous Of the
shadow of fear that perchance Albany
might get more notice of anything
than Salem. when it belonged to her.
Now. Mr.. Statesman. do you appreciate
this fact
