The question whether democracy
shall or shall not fuse with other
parties in the next campaign is being
generally discussed. There is also
much difference of opinion on other
topics such as in what form shall
the eight hour law be endorsed, shall
Peabodys bills for tin soldiers like
Bell be allowed, etc. BY open dis
cussion we can best arrive at the
right opinion and the NEws-CHAa-
rIoN as the only democratic paper in
Gunnlson county invites letters upon
the subject of our party policy.
