sOLlD GOOD SENSE.

R. NOyess Article on the old State House question Warmly Endorsed.
 August 6, 1888, To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 suppose it is no more dangerous to "run a-muck" than to write anything for publica- ton in reference to the old State House, but there is so much good solid sense in the artt- cle signed ''B. Moves" in your paper of this date, that can't help asking the. existing commission to read it carefully. I wonder if the advocates of its demolition really imag- ined it's friends were to be hoodwinked by any hocus-pocus that endeavors to authorize that commission to fit the building up for occupation by any organization.
