so that the (State might get all they were

represented, why does not Little dr El

They dare hot. They know thl,,,overwhelin

Trey thus tacitly rieknowledge that their al

spent the whole lime up to the eve of elec

Abashed and defeated in their malice, and - in
their vile attempt-to cheat the people- out of

get some ambitious and weak Republican to
shoulder the responsibility of endersihg their
