Mr.. Cleveland has selected Mr..

Oh, but the Republicans do love
law and order, But we take notice
that it is only when it does not stand
in the way Of gaining a party adj
vantage.
The legislature Of Wyming has
adjourned without eleCting a L. S.
senate. The seat will be filed by
appoiH5ment by Governor Osborne
and il is said he will name a free

Who are the anarchists now? The
Republicans have defed the laws.

orders and even threatened to kill

The report that Judge Gresham has
been selected as secretary of state
does not please the Democrats of
Illinois. The lower house of the
legislature refused to endorse the
appointment. Mr.. Cleveland does
