those little matters of oyster suppers, straw-
berry fostivnls, etc, are not accustomed to

says he thinks the postmaster can give some
satisfactory explanations to this. I say I can
give some facts that will do little credit to
his statements. The said letter of Mr. Pen-
noycr, with $25, was left at the store for a
neighbor, and was lost. This was some
three years before we had a postoflice. The

Pnrty Penny.
To the Editor of the Sentinel.
The directors 0f the party measures who
live within the hallowed precincts of the
Bridge, have of late so amended their politi-
cal code that n. revised edition is needed for
reference. Strict support of every party
nominee has now become the test of fidelity
and a single dcvintion covets one with the
worst stains of heretical infamy. The pre-
ccdcnts of our party organization item are
against such summary judgment. Two
years ago, pending the issue of a question
vital to the very existence of the Republican
party, those now loudest in their denuncia-
tion of those who chose to support a local
candidate in the last election, led the van in
their opposition to the regular uomincc,uctu-
mind by purely personal feeling. I have
yet to learn that such :1 course evinces a high
tone of political morality. I desire the suc~
rites of the Republican party bcyond any
personal advantage. I know, despite the
mean insintmtinns lo the contrary, that such
is the earnest wish of nine-tenths of the 150
Republicans who voted for Mr. E. A. VVood-
ward. Is it wise—is it the part of judicious
iournnlism to prescribe such Republicans
concerning such course. Arc newspaper
‘il'llCli‘S, appearing liflt‘l' election, :1 necessary
remedy for the evil? Is the party wise to
taunt those who voted the whole ticket
save one name? If they are strong
enough without tltem,tm(l wish to drive,
them to take a course opposed to their
nntuml convictions, I know of no better
means than those shown by the Gazette since
the election. Yours truly,
