from one of the strongest sup

termining the political sentiment

wards him. That the next cong
ress will be democratic is another
prediction OF this republican ed
itor, who says his party has not
kept faith with the people and
will be rebuked by the voters Of
the country for its disregard Of
their wishes. Editor Nelson fur
