The word. Rep. cannot possibly mean
reputRb1e. We are positive on that point.
IL might possibly mean rep-rehensible.
but IL more probably mean Republican.
The above letter undoubtedly relates to a
Republican Senator. but do not, as l have
said, before. imagine that these great cor
rupt corporations which make investments
IN tho peoples representatives are par
tisan institutions. 81
