During the last two or three days of
excessive dust the chronic sore wrank-
ling in the breast of the editor of the
ReUieiU has broken u afresh and he
proceeds to again attribute "boodler-
ism" to Representatives Perrin, Davis
and Lossow. Now that Tourtelotte Hos
pital is nearly ready for occupancy, it
would be an act of charity on the part of
the public to provide quarters therein
for this poor deluded soul and thus re-
lieve the readers of his whining sheet
from the tedious task of wallowing
through such nauseous stuff as that con-
tanned in the last Issue on the senatorial
question. When Wise proceeds to
charge corruption against our represen-
tatives he may be called upon to prove
his allegation, and no doubt would be if
the proceeding was not like unto draw
ing blood from a beet.
