the result of that investigat ton Will

venal officials appointed by the repub-

many corrupt bargains, great inca

Spaniards. These matters should not

starved by robber commissaries. neg

needless suffering should be severely
punished. But IL the republicans re-

this reason democrats should labor
strenuously TO return their candidates

IL duty the party owes TO the sol,
diers. The war was brought about
largely through democratic influences.
but the injuries to soldiers have all
proceeded from republican admins
