deserve the punishment OF such blind
policy.

The crocket work of the thimble-
rigging politicians is begging to get in
its work. To our certain knowledge
there are two men who have been asked
by the same set of men, to run for q
position of honor, and neither of the
two would receive their support. The
tbimble-riggers have q third man in
reserve, and are trying TO split opposi,
tion to him. Moral: Do not listen tc
all the political friendship Whispered
into your ear.
