The porkers are meeting death in
this vicinity. Esq. Dunham killed
a fine one the other day. 1t was

however.

the recent election "lt was simply
the result of n scare among the

party log, which is big enough to
support them"

merchant of Dushore, is a mixture

Jim says he could compound o right
good platform from the Republican,
Greenbacker and Populist theories
of running the Government. He is
free to confess that there is no good
in Mr.. Cleveland's platform, however
The country at large is finding this
out.
