PARTY FEALTY.
Hell is as likely to go Methodist as McKenna or Morrow's districts are to go for them for another Congressional term.--Times-Review.
When the above named citizens return to their constituents, burdened with the cares of their arduous labors in Congress, it will only be necessary for them to proclaim their fealty to Republican principles, tell the voters of their respective districts that the force of circumstances compelled them to vote for Reed, who is a friend of silver in disguise, that the Democrats are enemies to silver and "protection," and the Times-Review will learn that its prediction is based upon the theory that the people think more of principle than they do of party, which is not true. McKenna and Morrow will be re-elected in spite of hell, Methodism or high water, "and don't you fail to forget it."
