One of the editors down the state
tries to account for Republican de-
feat in this state by assigning the
cause to the factional fights the party
indulged in Another holds two men,
the one white and the other colored,

spared the necessity of giving the
real reason, but for fear the public
may be misled by these two, We will
peak out. The reason the Repubi-

enough votes. We forgive the first

We are looking for him to run the

subscriber had promised to pay him
in real money and now was the time
Of need. So he wrote touching let
ter. His poverty, his old clothes. his
shop-worn wife, his down-at-the-hee
children spoke between the lines. In
