democratic majority of $4,000 and
elected their entire ticket by ma
joritics ranging from 10000 to
10000. When the bewildered vot
ing democrats asked of the office
holding democrats W has was
wrong, again came the response:
There is nothing to it,"
When "A republican house of rcp-
rcscntative authorized a committee
to investigate these public officials
and the outside democrats again
asked what OF the state" the
officeholders again answered.

When the house OF representatives
commenced to vote impeachments
