elected? The Republicans are

rish for Fontelieus We only give
him about $50 votes in this pa

elected because the FOstercrats
would turn the machine and count

Der of white cane growers who

break up the quarantine. and that
mass meetings. are held with a
view of boycotting the honest
physicians who dare make honest
reports of the fever, but rothing
of all this is seen in the New Or
