earnest friends Of Temperance declared ther purpose
10 withhold their votes from the Hon. JOHN A. MING
FOR Governor has been read with pam and surprise. IL
ds not appear that either Of you were present, and
rtesume you do not approve the purpose aYowed. Yet
you will allow me to address through you, few

Every attempt to lesson TINT ma outy for Governor
will tend 70 injure the Electoral ticket and will weaken
the defeDses of Liberty. The Hon. Johu A. huS ID
