Show tiling pily and a chestnut forever. for-ever. Tin: Hi'-.i.kk excels in its big gri-d id" city and county news. A now months ago the Paris Post, renounced its political independence independ-ence and Hopped over into the lap of the Republican party. The Post learned a Ihingor two during those : sad months of partisanship: that a local paper to be a success must 'not tie its hands and shackle its feet with party ropes, or become the tool of politicians, or slain its mouth with rank vituperations and vilifications against those who simply dihVr from it politically. The Post wisely says: ! "The Post henceforth is out of : polities end will be strictly non-J non-J part:san." I "It simply means that this paper is through with making sacrifices for 'party loyalty,' which in reality men ns hel oi 11c some fel low into ollice, who, when he gets t'here. has no further use for you.
