Gov. Elect Peck, OF Wisconsin, and Gov.
Elect Russell, of Massachusetts,, are both ex-
cellent wing shots. but they both made regu-
lar or ound wipes at the late election. 1t is

tiop that fails to give the delegation to
Cleveland. In fact, it would be surprising

of weakness to a party in power" How
weak the Democrats will be in 80; at the
same time, it is surmised they will be able to
go alone.

Equally true is it that it is a good wind that
blows nobody ill-on the Potomac Flats.
