Reed wandered from the confines of the

The Hampton Chronicle hopes the

cause of starting another populist par
ty.
The Spirit Lake Beacon observes that
iowa republicans are not in entire
agreement as to some details of ma

strength, and points of difference are
becoming smalleIb by degrees and beau
tifully less.'

And further is it not dangerous thing to censure
subordinate officer for not having disobeyed his supe

right mind? Major Waller did not in his defense claim
that he was not in his right mind.
Plainly these inconsistent and erroneous findings
were made by General Chafee under orders from
Washington to alIay public dsapprova of the admin

that the governments courts martial always result in
verdict of acquittal.
