Multnomah had ten votes solid against me the other day. Give me ten rotes and I can raise hell. The men hitched together for big things can do big things but if you are doing bad things you had better look out or it might be your turn next. If you want to get even with Schuebel and Dimick come outside with me and we'll lick the stuffing out of them, but don't take it out ot me by passing this bil." WASHINGTON. Fob. 1?.
