The gospel Of truth which We put
forth last week regarding the Knight
Scott slate and the HamIen- Hardy
scramble for a seat at the county
convention has been augured to
large proportions, and a game of
shuttle-cOck is being played by their
republican central committeeman
on one side, claiming it was a mishap,
that the county convention got him on
as delegate, and left of the soldier
boy whose name came forth on the list
and Hamlen's instead being placed
first Or in palmer words, spokesman
instead Of Swan Strand. The delegates
had different view and thought there
were something rotten somewhere, and
were hunting for the skeleton in
Georges closet They used your "JncIe
F'uller's" claw 70 scratch the nuts out
Of the fire" and while we have hereto

now a GOODNESS between US and George
that viii chill anyone from toe to
tasseI Ito the extent Of a dead fishes
tall that should pass between.

ranks down here. The scales have fall

pinch Of Georges snuff will cause some
more to fall.
The political thermometer got away
up at both sales here, and the king
among the Swedes gave out publicly
that they we're no longer perpetual
motion for turning out republican
votes. Just swatch their smoke this
tall, Central" George, for the Swedes
had fair show and one was placed on
the POpulist county tisket. I
