gated pastures in city park. By the way, the Off
cials now have some idea of the manner in which

Slope. 1t should be stopped. Let us have town

The Democratic papers all over the state are be-
ginning to apologize for the acts of the fusonists
and Democrats during the past eight years. When
they do this it shows the proper spirit after ALL

Republicans do not need to enter upon campaign
of abuse Let them bring out the undeniable facts
and they will be strong enough to defey the other
side.
