tasteful domestic implements which
are the outgrowth Of the thought and

As matter or fact, the results OF

power had successfully interfered with
the freedom OF the press and the right
OF trial by jury. No such attempt has
been made since the election OF 1900.
p In that election, although the FEEDER
alists invoked the aid OF every great
name possible. the Democrats won an
overwhelming majority OF the house,
