Medford Mail . Tribune, and hia

the editorial writing tor the Grants
Pass Courier. On things political
they art almost never in agree

they were. Each chose that day
to do an election post-mortem. The
common impulse however was as
far as their agreement went, and
was of course pure coincidence.
Streeter, otter laboring as hard
and as consdentiousl as any ed

principles be espouses, took his
vacation immediately following the
election; but his analysis shows

interval have leavened bis views.
