POLITICAL DRIFT.
Republican senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, says that if he is defeated
for the senate the railroads will have the
blame for it. That the railroads and
trusts are fast ‘getting there’ to rule
the elections and the country is simply
the fault of the people themselves, and
they will only begin to how! when it is
too late. Warning has been given un.
ceasingly of the danger, but the voting
keeps going the opposite of the general

the people in the country going to town
for their mail it is carried direct to their

The only places where free rural de-

vicinities where the route established by
carriers was too lengthy to cover prop-
