along both neen and felt that the sprit Of his own
views has been fully avowed by General Taylor, Ia
his Allison letter. and other applications on that sub
ieet and that his movements have been comfortable
thereuno the Old Man has therefore, unhesltatlngy
made every exeron, within the compass Of honor,
TO accomplish his own prophecy, made on the 29th
day Of May, 1916, that General Taylor would be
the next PRESIDENT and he has, without single
deviation from his desires arduousy labored to
promote that harmony Of feeling which alone can
preserve the Republic. He Ia also called Wing,

"Old Man Of the Hills" will shl hold on upon the
name, whose inherency In all time past, conveys
m idea Of principle, and insist on being called re-
publican as he ros called, when he voted for Thos
Jefferson, in the past century trusting TO confsd
Grafton Of all those who lrvE for and would DIE for
their country. EE
