while the political cyclone swept by.
/ am somewhat dishgured, but still in
the ring, and still sitting in the polit-
cal saddle. Oh, democrats, where is
your political material coming from
two years henceT So many of you
bolted your party and Topped over to
us that it looks like the party willhave
to go into the hands of a receiver
pretty soon. What about Mr.. Havron
and Mr.. Thomas being appointed to
receive the upper end as they have al
ways been loyal democratsT We can
truly vouch for the honesty and integ-
rity of the above named receivers and
we feel safe in certifying that the true
and original democratic party from
now henceforth and forever, will be
safe at rest if placed in the hands of
the above named in case they should
be appointed as receivers for the up
per end of old Marion.

wide prohibition, if placed in the
hands of clean men. is good thing,
but very scurvy in the hands of such
men as few that l could mention

and just such elements as this has
caused more crime up here and has
ruined more young men in the bloom
of life than any other evil abroad in
