WHAT is the matter with the Free

every paper in the State. It sends n
volley at the HERALD nd says it should
not talk of eating crow. Now tho HER

that has talked little of crow-eating,
and when 1t did do so 1t was to say
papers that opposed men and measures
ailcrward nominated and adopted by
the Houston convention, and submitted
