populisn,, we shall consider ourself q reg
ular correspondent" And then the West
proceeds to give the following excellent
example OF English: Tho Register Is
seriously offended because we stated that
a portion OF the papers owners Ia DEM
ocrats. We have been told by leaders In
that party that both Rowlands are ad-
