True Blue says we are partizahs and we

in good deal earnest in our efforts to elect
good men, and men in whose hands we nre

to have done just what those party bosses'
bride takers and boodlers" have 30 long

Pledges are no longer good from the mouth
of the same old rings. We claim that most
of the infamous laws that are now grinding

The democratic party is DIVIDED, so is thu
republican party divided; and it matters no
to the ''bosses" of either of them which
party is in control, these "bosses" Away
get there and JOIN hands against tn
