Who nominated General Pierce and who nomi-
mated General Scott!

that the tide of popular opinion is running high against
Them and afrdghted at the daily and the irreparabe

men in dilemma, TO "change the subject There is

decent stand against the democrats They feel this
in their present discussions Of politics. and in their
daily associations with their party kindred.
As evidence OF the way in which the Republic tries
to evade the real issues involved in the present
pagn the following article from that paper OF yesterday
may be quoted as an illustration:
