Gus to get rich, and the other was
ambitious to secure the appreciation
of his soldiers and the populace.
Is it a crime for one to hope that
he may be rewarded for his efforts
by the appreciation and promotion
of those he seeks to serve, or is it
better to be sensible and join the
Stalwarts and work for the reward
that comes in cold cash filched from
the pockets of the people?
In the late senatorial contest the
friends of progress and reform, in
this vicinity, declared themselves in
favor of Hatten, because, as against
the Stalwarts, they believed Hatten
stronger than McGovern, and for thai
reason alone they thought it best to
concentrate on Hatten.
After the election, and when the
conduct of every candidate in that
campaign was thoroughly investigate,

We all saw that we had made a mis-
take; for McGovern was not only
stronger than Hatten, but he haG
spent less money, and made clean

have been easily elected if the pro
