Mr.. HARPER That farmer, who
would dismiss from his employ, IAN old, capa-
bic, faithful, and honest servant, merely to
silence the clamorous opportunities of an
aspirant for his place, would doubtless be
looked upon by his neighbors, not only as
very foolish man, but as one who was acting

interests OF the nation are suffering because
OF the incapaCiiy of the President and that
III is lndispensably necessary, in order to their
preservation from utter ruin, to place that
gentleman in the presidential chair in 1892
IT wont do gentlemen. These naked and
unfounded assertions will avail you nought
The citizens Of this widely extended Repub-
nc are an intelligent and thinking people
The sophisms Of Mr.. Clay and his friends
will never induce them TO believe that white
