A Dying Effort.

OF all the dirty pieces of political
jobbery that were ever perpetrated in
this State the recent attack on the
official record of ex-Auditor Dunn by
Sam Johnson and his Collins bench
men in the most despicable, and goes
long way beyond the limits Of com
mon decency or desire to treat a polit-
ical opponent with semblance of fair
ness.-Osakis Review.

A New Jersey judge says that a

abused and prosecuted, held up as "a

effort to ruin him will prove the

Threshine Over Worn Out Matter

The threshing over of worn out mat

the way that was done, has already
proved a boomerang upon those who
have had the handling of it. If they

governor, they are doubly so now in
view of the feeling that the public ex-

A just Condemnation.

The attempt of Sam johnson, the

upon the public work of a man who
has served the State SO long and so
ably as has Mr.. Dunn, only goes to
show that he is, himself, unworthy OF

paying any attention to such unwar-
ranted attack, shows slight apprecia.

ferred upon him.-DetrOit Record,
