dltiona confirmation from the fact TINT the nominee
OF the Harrison party tlr the Wee Presidency, WAS
Francis Granger, New York AboIitiouis,, whom
even the Harrison Wings Of Virginia scorncd to

off the AboIiunnists from his skirts, with th'
scorn and loalhlus they deserve, and give a
frank aud fearless an assurance OF his heeIlty {,
