in a r ousing widespread interest In the

A« the matter now' stand#, they are in
perfect Ignorance of the provisions of
th® bill, as no one has explained the
measure to them in an intelligent man-

the bill was a few day* ago, and he
answered that It was only *a d—d
steal,* and when I asked him for more
particulars I found that he had told me
all he know about it.' which left me
densely Ignorant a# ever upon the

three wotes were cast for It when It

sentntives In casting their votes upon
certain Issue# do not know how tho
people of their state stand on them, as
these measures have never been dis
