tritiod with.
1t is said that Thomas NJ, Stayton thinks
he was cheated out of the nomination or
State Senator by John Pyle's friends on
Saturday. He and his friends have been
doing all in their power to have tho re-
turns thrown out, and the nomination

He is an awful dodger.
Mr.. Andrew L. johnson, said in a card
published in one of tho city papers, TINT
. he was In the fight rs a candidate for the
LEGISLATURE on the Democratic ticket.
Yes, he was in the fight, and that's about
all, But we know he didn't expect to win

bu conducted honesty Tho E. e. says,
Mr. johnson has reason to fell proud OF
the vote he received. Yes, 1t Is awonder
he had that many votes returned and
counted for him. He would not have had
it II he had ran anywhere close TO John
US vote. The machine would have fixed
that part all right.
The Catholic opposition to Ebe w. Tun-
nell has by no means died out aud are
prepared to knife him in November Tho
opposition will not down, no matter what
Mr.. Ford now says or does. The people
stood different from Mr.. f., they arc not
to be whipped into line, by either prom

whereof We speak and have been told so a
hundred times by leading Democrats.
