tleman from Lincoln proved hispolitical acumen by announcingearly for Judge Paynter for UnitedStates Senator and for Mr Law-rence
¬
for Speaker and by thesnets showed also his courage andwillingness to stand tho hazardof the lie for being from theEighth congressional district hemore than any other man took hispolitical fortunes cold life into thearena and had lie failed to makegood nil thumbs would have point-ed

But the other day tho GovernorMr Beckhain in n talk before theLegislature gave expression atvariance withImtttCr lithe resolu ¬
