Will Promote Strife,

Southern Democratic newspapers
draw doleiul pictures OF the operation
OF the Federal election law. They hope
it will not make trouble, but they know
it will, and the blame will be on the Re.
publican party for passing it. Some
Northern newspapers, Democratic and
Mugwump, take the game view. The
iollowingi is from the Springfield Rtpub.
