come back to the fold and play over again their
same old game Of "you tickle me- III tickle you.
Be it remembered, that when Douglas opened his
now historical campaign in Chicago July 9th, he

(Which we do not beIicve) then such action has the
condemnation Of every right thinking Democrat in

little with regard to it, for We always regarded it as
