is the policy of Vul'a strikers in th

whipping in timid republicans to th
support of their patron saint. Wliui
this fails , double headers will bo sot

the ] tfpublitaii , which has prophesic
the election of every defeated rcpul

should deprive the democrats of Yii
ginia , and if immigration and tli
colored vote can , as Is claimed , tak
Delaware out of the democratic co
uinu , the once solid south will bo abl
to cast only 138 votes for the denu
cratic nominees. This is about tl
worat phase that the southern vo
can reasonably , bo expected to tak

assume that the south is good for on !
138 votes. In that case the northei

the democratic party into power agaii
California , Indiana , Nevada , No

A LAMB FRYEi
It is no wonder Mr. Fry o said I
wanted to represent Mr. Crotinso's c
the floor of congress. { { ( publican ,
Yes it is no wonder that William J
Frye , whoso valuable services to tl
monopolies in the house were r
warded with a seat in the Unite
States senate , wanted to ropresoi
Mr. Orounso's constitu tents on tt
floor of congress , Mr. Croanso'a coi
stituonts had no use for men of M
Fryo'a kidney. They had sent Judf
Crounso to congress to obtain justii
from the nation on behalf of a uta
which was Buffering from oxtortioi
and injustice of Mr. Frye's tnaate

the earnest olForta of thiscongrossion
lobbyist , backed by the money of tl
corporation which ho served , thi
Jutlgo Crnunso's ' work onbohalf of h
constituents was blocked in the hous
It was William P. Fryo , "who wantc
to represent Mr. Crounso'a constiti
onts , " who throttled the bill reducii
faros and freights on the Union Pi
cific bridge. It was the same desii
to "represent Mr. Orounso's const ! )
uonts , " which impelled this capper c
the corporations to defeat in tw
successive congresses Judge Crounso
measures to compel the railroads <
take out patents on their unpatontc
lands. Mr. Fryo'a idea of the const !
uoncy represented by Judge Croune
was doubtless derived from a photi
arapli ; of the Union 1'aoifio heat
quarters and his worat enemy will nc
iony that ho worked faithfully fc
galore and glory in the interests c
tiia railroad employers.
It is a very significant fact tin
iflor Valentino's entrance into tli

Quoting from his own statement T

permitted to introduce bills in tl
present congress , I introduced a b
allowing an additional member for tl
state of Nebraska , " Yes ! on the vo
first day Ko had a chance ho introda

introduced in the former congree
which would grant us a member m

Forty-sixth congcoss ; which was sir
ply a mistake on my part. I had fai

changed to "March 4 , 1881. "
As your readers nro aware , this ou
ragcous attempt to steal from tl :
public treasury failed. Valentino

Mr. Willits was adopted.
Next wo como to the time when
