candidates TO the Presidency OF the United States. Il
is true that oceas onally they do not succeed owing
TO peculiar circumstances connected WIN Their
Presidential nominations But IN l'r man 'hey 90.
And attribute their success, IN great measure 20

Gates OF certain cherished principles which hey wish
to see carried into full operation by their candidate
if he be elected They therefore, do not select him,
