strong contrast with all the other

and all night until 4 a. m the next
morning. Therepublican convention
here even looked up a new hall in
the evening, and removed the whole
political machine thereto-so as to

FOR ANOTHER BUsHEL OF WHEAT OR

whole case is there stated and no man
living can add a word to strengthen
it.
And while it adds no market for
our produce it costs us $3.50, 900, 600
more on the necessaries of life. For
