not regard Maj. Orendorff's candidacy with a
kindly eye; the Journal is an offensive Re-
publican partisan. and, quite naturally. 1t
hates to contemplate the possibility that Col.

prodlgiouS efforts and after tremendous loss

their condemnation OF the sample fend."
The gentleman of the silk department said

was occasioned by the failure of policeman
to pay his debts after he had been duly
cautioned.
