enthusiastic reception from ths ipeaoTle!s'
iBntsa great change had been q effscteds
5since6 frat he came among tliem. The loft;ys
forests whichShe then tfav rsed were now
fruitful fields; the lionel = cabins which he's
protected from the fiireband Of The savage
were transformed into popul OTIS cities: thssS

Another anecdote of General Casa.E
while on his tour through Ohio, was fricIas
stedawith much spirit BY tho! late gallant
sand lamentcd$ Gen. Hanier. The [ carr
sriage containing Gen. Cass one day stopss
ped by q man who, addressing the Gener.

speaking to you. You don't know me- me:
General. Gen. G. replied that hs did {
not. "well. sir, (said hey j was the first
man in your regiment 10 jump out Of tf,e,
boat on the Canadian shore tsN No, YOU

man myself on shore. s.fTrue, (said the {
other;) bumped out first into the river Il,
get ahead of you; but you held me back,
and got on shore ahead Of me. -
So The result of the contest in 1914 iS
well known. The vote Of every western
State, save one, and that BY d meagre
majority, was given for Mr.. Polk. To
the efforts Of General Cass, and his great
personal popularity e.erted ia favor Of
