pei barrel Of apples from his own residence
to tho winner, a distance OF between 30 and
40 miles. When the news of the hundred
thousand or more ma iority against the Amer
lean candidate come TO Newburyport, Perley
Poore, or rather Poore Perley had to meet
his responsibility, which he did like a man.
