THE COMING ELECTION.
| The elections next Tuesday may bring
| some unpleasant surprises to the Repub-
| Iinan party. There is no doubt that po-
litical sentiment has changed very mucn
within the past few months and that
| there is a. feeling throughout the land
/ that tho Republican party should be re-
sl,sc1 This party has held itself rcspon-
sible for the prosperity that has come
and for all the good things that the couI-
| try has been enjoying, and SO naturally
the people hold the party responsible for
| AL the evils Of the Gay. The Republican
| PARTY is charged with the high price of
beef. the high price of@coal and the in
cl eased cost generally of living. In vain
.lc. the Republicans plead that it is unfair

Die are dissatisfied. and many of them are
gong 10 express their dissatisfaction at
