It was this ’variety of Democrats’ who are now held up to scorn. ”1 again apologize for giving the editorial dignity by having It read In this house, but this Is my forum, and I havo no other method of reply. “Lay On, Macduff." I have said all 1 cared to say, and If this be not enough, then I add: ‘Lay on. -Macduff, lay on! and duntned be he who first cries "Hold! enough. Formerly Secretary and Trcas.
