ton of the cars and will no doubt be highly
appreciated by the patrons of the line. 1t is
said this very desirable change was effected

If reports be true bad state of affairs
exists among the Democrats of the 9th district
A hot fight is in progress and "all kinds OF
money! is being offered for votes at the prima
nv on the 8th inst. 1t is said that $25 is just
now the ruling figure for votes, but instances
are mentioned where as much as $50 has been
offered for a single vote. The trafic goes on
among Republicans as well as Democrats and

port the Democratic ticket before they will b'
allowed to vote at the primary. There is 8
CRYING need for law that will put stop t.
