He had ioand fault with the idea of

this city to unite on the same candi-

years ago. Certainly true Repub-
Leans cannot want such result.
The Democrats alone will profit by
this contention and therefore it

Bile. Without union OF the party
several members OF the Legislature
would have been defeated at the
last election and they should under

they should resign and allow more
tolerant candidates to take their
places. 1t must come to this con-
clusion or the party will 60 to the

the confidence that was placed in
them by their constituents.
There is much business before
both Houses, and the committees
are kept busy considering the bills
and reporting them to their respec.
tive Houses. All business must be
introduced before Feb. Goth, as the
Legislature ad journs on March 8.
The time is short, already half the
session being over. There are sew
eEal important bills before the Leg
lslatare and several more TO come
before it. The railroad bills should
be carefully studied before they are
voted on. No hardships should be
enacted to rebound on shippers or
people travelling over their lines.
