We are weary of reading about Fitz Kuhn.—Tampa Tribune. That so?—first we ever heard of him.—Fort Myers News- Press. Whoever he is, he is well named. The British propaganda is smooth. It is over the dinner table and card table. It’s slick.—Senator Rush Holt (D.-W. Va.) So slick that we fell for it the last time; but one experience is enough.
