II one were to pay attention to the

ness, the wickedness. and the general
depravity of the "pe rfesh" in that city
of gas ordinances. as held up to the
mirror OF truth by themselves. Occa-
sionally, however, IN his more tender
mnosi, the Cape editor relaxes the

ges in a little mild sarcasm. Vide
this from the Democrat:
The Cash Book is for Mabrey for Congress,
