he said they presented a picture. At
Dover they had TO take their bills to
bed with them to keep them from be-
ing stolen and II q bin came to this city
over night 1t went back In the morning
with rider on it. The Democratic
party afraid to trust themselves were
putting reform in the Republicans
hands. Fraud and Corruption had
prevailed long enough and the Demo-
Gratis ought to feel very grateful that
the Repul licans had stepped in to save
them from themselves. A storm of ap-
