Not Necessary

IT is not necessary that Mr.. Gest again
state his position, as some have sug.
gested. The people are thoroughly con-
versant with it. His position is, that he
voted against the welI-being Of every
taxpayer in the district By his vote he
has helped to make dearer blankets and
clothing, and groceries. aud everything
else necessary to live on, whether the
winter be cold or not. He has taxed the
farmer for everything he wants in winter.

binds his grain in summer. He has COM

new sphere OF work. and has perhaps
succeeded in showing still further tie
greatness OF this phenomenal soprano.
This change of course prevented her con-
tinuing in Italian opera, but gave to the
concert platform one who, though so high
in price, has always proven paying in
