Hawloy will hardly disappoint his constitu- ontg in this rogard.

Tho purposo of the poo- ple was to robuke tho Republican party, snd to dofent It at the polls. To do this, it was necea- sary to olagt the Democratic eandidatos, ag tho only opponcnts in tho fleld. Ropublicans and Democrata both votod for tho Congrossional salary grab, but the Republican party was ro- the party in- pow- tor in hand. —_— Tho Aren of Low Haromotor and Low Thore was onco a vory placid, childltke, and plous old gontloman, who followod tho tonding of sheop on Seliubury Plain for & living, o is known in tho Bunday-school books as tho Bhep- Liord of Salisbury Plain, Ho hing come down to postority simply by virtuo of s remark ho onco made on a rainy and muddy day, with regard to tho woathor.
