tire from any contest as a candidate 10 rep

'In the present eventful period in orr ma

assertion. has sufficient acquaintance with
Kendall 10 recognize his autograph without
restoring the collateral evidence TO prove the
fact. The migrate who turned like the viper
upon Dir. Clay who warmed him into life
