Practically every democratic paper in the Tenth district, and several republican papers, including the Ilamraond Times, have sold advertising space to the progressive party during the present campaign. The Democrat is among the former list, and so far as we know there is no criticism for our doing so except from one or two parties who at present call themselves democrats, but who always look for a chance to find fault at anything they see in this paper. The souls of these faultfinders are so inflntesimally small and their influence so limited that their opposition is really an asset to those it Is directed against.
