What is the matter that there is formed

GERS marching TO the Capitol of our nation,
full of wild threats and crazy ideas, think

thinking men of the Republican party.
The Democrat goes along without think

idea the Republican party loses members,
the Democratic party never. Laughter
Whenever parties and politicians step out
side the principles of justice imprinted
in every page of our ststute-books then
that party suffers. Wheresoever conven-
tions step outside these limits they endan-

espouse. Do you remember the Gorham
party? Yes. The Republican party of
this State or the Republicans of this State
