soon forget The Enquirer says:
S0V uow is that? What has kindled the fierce re-

sicrtune did the Administration forfeit the conf

IN n,ntual confidence one in action. They are men
Of transeendent ability and experience and AFFAIRS
They have all held prominent position IN state ana
national councils, in important Judicial transacc
tions in their own localities They are PATRIOTS OF

Of rejection applying the experience of the past to

But it would be preposterous to pretend that TINS

This respect it shares the fortunes of the admlnlstra-
