,f,pccess to the latest moment Because Sd party
,sO refused TO vote so us TO kill the 'nquly" when
sy could have done easily to breathe, is not
. nf,cnt reason for not resisting evil They could
have voted so as TO elect an opponent Of Annexation,

"a party leaders but shut the door before tho horse
was stolen, and not misled their pariy-all would
have been well now.
