"The news from the fourteenth
Massachusetts district, is the hest
political information that has

in connection with the result in

Massachusetts district, it dem

same causes are working all over
the United States. One of these
elections was held 111 midwinter,
the other in the balmy days of
spring, and the only difference in
the result is that in the latter
election in Massachusetts the
