REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.

Republicans have been SO accus-
toned to make illegal use of the
mails when the postofices were in
their hands they can't give it up.
Two years ago they sent tons of cam
paign literature through the mails
in franked envelopes furnished for
the purpose by members of congress,
when not only the campaign COM
mittee but the members of con-
gress knew they were making an
illegal use of the mails. They have
also been accustomed to send bundles
Of newspapers and documents ad-
dressed to postmssters to be dis
tributed in the boxes of the various
Offices of the state. Another method
Of distributing literature has been to
print thousands of sheets and distri-
butte them to republican newspapers
to be enclosed as supplements and
mailed at newspaper rates, these sup
plements not bearing either the
name or the date of the papers in
which they are enclosed. All these
things are prohibited by law, but
these fellows who cry anarchy" from
morning to night, and who are such
mighty sticklers for law-for the
other fellows, have no use for it in
their affairs. We have already re-
ceived two of these illegal supple
ments since this campaign began,
and this continued violation of the
postal laws is to continue, it seems
under democratic, as it has under re-
publican administration. They are
both sausage from the same dog.
