The testimony of every man, including
Generals Wheeler and Lee. who have so
far testified, has completely indicated the
President and the secretary of war of any
mismana cement in the war. The attempt
on the part of the yellow journals and the
Democratic orators to fix the responsibility
of the sickness and deaths that occurred on
the administration has wholly failed-Win-
chester Herald.
The people of the Fourth congressional
district can show their true patriotism and
devotion to their country in no more sub
stantial way than by voting for Major
Charles w. Lee for Congress. BY the selec-
ton of candidates to Congress who are in
full sympathy with the President the fruits
of the war can be made secure, where the
reverse would mean opposition and doubt.

From boyhood to old age Hon. David
Turpie has been an office seeker, and now
that he is old and decrepit he is as hungry
for office as he was in his most vigorous
manhood. And it is no injustice 10 public
man to say that he is no longer in touch
with current thought and lives almost ex-
'clusvely in the atmosphere of old-time
Bourbonism which he carries around with

political period than product of recent
