The Democrats who are protesting
lagains Governor Hill in New York are
all receivers Of his stolen goods, part
ners in his theft Of the State vote and
copartners in his fraud. Defeat and
retributon can come to him only by

the Constitution before he goes ahead
to Florida. Harrisburg Patriot.

Senator Kenna has been interviewed
by representative Of the Baltimore
San, and he touched every living ques
ton appertaining to the political issues
of the day, except silver, and upon
that he said nothing whatever. It is
strange that the most agitating ques-

nored by our distinguished Senator.
It was an accident, Of course. FARM
