whole window in Its 'front.' And here We have a proof

private contracts are better got up for public
use u tNce tne cost Ater the democrats came torch
light procession from Brooklyn on its way TO the Ere
mont meeting u. the Academy OF Music. This also
an enthusiastic affair." and cheered with as much vim as
its predecessor Bo professions gave us passing sa
