one OF the ineXp.icable mysteries o

Tammany still survives, and today
is the controlling pvwer Of the dem

We Of Oregon have but to turn our

y well known farmer OF Howell

was necessary to squeich one Of the

adapted the following: At O'Clock
N the morning Of the election
nan was seen riding post haste, lis
morse reekiug with sweat, To the
house of-well We will say Mr.. A.
IN much excitement the rider IN
Ormed Mr.. a. that hi, daughter.
Who was living in the Waldo hills
