Causes tor Much Enmity
L passes belief what oasets are made
upon President and Cabinet for political re-
veugcs not worth child's attention. The
great Virginia Senators were set upon when
Cleveland was President to take a postofice

Mr. Villas does not know now that he
nearly incurred personal assault from
Jem Smith, as we will cell him. L have
