Jason's companion had taken word to

messenger arrived just in time to allow
the Kentuckian to save John Browns

THE CASE OF THE WILSON'S,

rupt men, are the very men
who were IN a conspiracy
with Russell and Butler to
open the campaign bv grossly
unjust and unreasonable as
saults upon property and
property rights in order that
a new party under the lead
of the conspirators should be
organized to oppose Democ-
racy and ''maintain existing
conditions of local self-govern-
ment' throughout the State.
This crowd is beating the air
in their frantic efforts to in
duce the Legislature to do an
unjust act. to refuse to vindi-
cate law. and thereby endorse
u>>ell-ButleriSm, which the
people who elected the Legi,-
lature repudiated.
