satisfactory as The Commoner, as it is always
on the firing line and bound to be as long as
its editor-in-cjitef occupies the position that he
hasr the past eleven years, and 1 trust that will
be until th principles so earnestly advocated
by him shall be embraced in our statutes and
he shall have the authority to see to it that they
