Purcall's Sudden Entrance Into

The appointment of Hon. w.

brought rejoicing to the demo.

The Radical papers are making
great campaign medicine out
of the appointment. But the
people are not to be fooled all
the time.-just some of the
time. There 10 no question
about Senator Thompson being
a very sick man and no. doubt

Purcell is a strong man, one of
the ablest in the state, the ap.

respect, and when he gets his
bearing at the Capitol, ne will

many fine traits, one Of them
