A Reply From Mr.. RIchey.

Fort Defiance, Nov. ga card

some other Republicans of this dis
trict. recently appeared in the Repub-
lican papers of Staunton, in which they
publicly express great joy over the re-
suit of the late election in this district.

of my fellow Democrats.
There is story of Jew who WAS
fond of pork. and after freely indulg-
ing in his favorite dish one night, was
caught on his road home in a sudden
thunder storm. As he Stood, trembl
ing at the sound of the thunder claps,
and guilty conscience. he is claimed.
"What big fuss over little pork"
If these gentlemen will closely ex
anime the returns. in this district, they
will observe that forty-one white Re-
publicans who voted for Mckinley in
1896, could not swallow him in 1900,
and this was probably owing to the
force OF the arguments of the three
Democrats to whom they make refer
ence in their card. and. nOtwithstand-
| ing the fact, that all the Republican Of
fee. holders in the district. aided by
the best speakers in this and adjoining
counties, put forth their united efforts
and used to large extent the "sOund
business methods" of their Uncle
Mark, hoping, on account of the alleg-
ed disaffection Of Democrats. to sweep
this Republican district, their net in
crease over 1896 was five, my, my.
how little it does take to please some
people, and whether this five was Ow-
ing to the prosperity, which they
claim, lays around MS in chunks. or tC

Lord Roseberry has said that mad
not certain conditions arisen in the
days of Pitt, the troubles with The
American colonies would most likely
have been averted and the throne OF
British empire in all probability have
been transferred to America, with
what is now Great Britain as a pro-
vince. If things continue as now the
result may follow without Pitt, in fact
there are some who seem to think the
end is almost now upon us.
