street-and certainly they in fcvcrsh state
than has been that sink Of nquy during the past two
months Of Oregon and Mexico fever The whgs at last
have yielded their last forlorn hope as to the Senate and
thus the mighty sceptre Of Connecticut into the
vcrsay conceded that the wings would be successful
but their in the 1874 presidential cleo
ton did them good The causes of their defeat
however, far different

ture, to stop men from drinking what theychose and
