the republican party here last night
In an address in which he took some
hot shots at the democrats.
Among the high lights OF his ad.
dress wero the following:
The campaign Of state and ma
tionai. candidates, SO far as h dem =
ocrats are concerned. Is one OF scold-
Ing. personal abuse and mud-s lins-
ing. Having no logical grounds to
stand upon which calls for the sup
port Of the voters OF the country, the
democntic candidate for president
has become a common scold. Here

which TO tho ordinary mind dc not
comport with the dignity OF a man
who osplrcs to that high office. TIL,

purposes. that liz quite enough.
Hanna's Methods
And now what shall we say Of our
friend Hanna who 10 running for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket? As
q han FELLOW. well met on u social
plane. there Is nothing to say against
him. but tempcrnmcntally, he Is u p
dualifiedly unfit for the office OF gov
crnor. His promises to invoke con
slant scraps would keep him and
others In hot water. with no CORE.

We have no bosses in this coun,
