Presiding Elder Hanscom's opinion,
in the Window Reporter: "Well, Mr..
Editor, we showed 'em under. That is
what we started out for; and we did it
in good shape. There is picture of
Old Abe. 1t makes me think of trans
parency 1 saw at the Cation speech the
last time I was here. Ithad Old Abe's
picture, and the words, You can fool
all the people part of the time; some of
the people all the time; but you can't
fool all the people all the time think
the result of the election shows that
that IS just as true now as it was then. 4"

We did not see the reference in the two
papers in question, The Dispatch also
delights in saying that the power of
the wonderful rotary engine Mr.. Bran
bel has succeeded in patenting does not
consist of newspaper adulation. The
fact that the Dispatch was the leading
boomer of the rotary rather made us
suspicious on that point.
