This statement. for the second time in two
weeks. that THE FREE Press tells the far
mers that they are dissatisfied because they
are built that way is per-istency in ef-
fort TO misrepresent that would shame a

resent. that farmers are easy subjects of I'M
position We are led to remark that, in the
foregoing paragraph from the Advocate
stated as a fact to prejudice class of our

issue in Maryland, hence the foregoing is
not exactly pertinent
The following sentiment aud exhortation
of the Sentinel we heartily endorse: But
we should let bygones be bygones. What's
done cannot be uudoue. That famous and
fatal election cauuot be held over again
Another is 90 be hello, however, aud to that
we should turn our attention. The Demo

and determination as f the immediate ret
respect was a vision Of glory aud success
instead Of defeat and gloom. Republican
success in the nature of lesson that need
mo-. be rebearsed here now The least said
of t the better. The prime thing in order
is 90 determine that it shall not occur again.
