The guilty are always towards; and the

comes to us several Republican papers

There is a great hue and cry about
bribery and selling out in our last legis-

who are making the loudest howl? Are
they not the ones who have had control
OF our government ever since we entered
into statehood? Are they not the very
ones who have brought us to the verge of
bankruptcy? Are they not the identical
ones who sold out from highest to lowest
Have they not taxed our state beyond
all endurance, absorbed the revenues,
gambled away the peoples rights,
plunged into all the corruption and fraud
known to modern politicians, and been
repudated by an outraged people? Are
these the ones whose voices will be
recognized in any move towards hon
vast improvement on its predatory pre-
decessor It's acts were mostly just and
humane; if it failed in some respects, or
missed some opportunities, let it be
remembered that they We're handicapped

the state a goodly amount in round num-
bers cannot be denied, nor will it go
unappreciated. Howl on, you great
unwashed, if it will give comfort to your
troubled souls; but ii there is nothing
worse, than what now appears, confronts
us, at our next election we will put you
SO far out of sight that there will not be
enough Of you left to raise howl; in
other words, we'll ''give you Fitz."
