would use the military power Of the
United States TO suppress all Republican
meetings. for mind you he says, that the
Republicans bring about these conspira.

and he would give the President the

To show still palmer that Douglas
would suppress Republican organizations,
We give the following extract from an
other part of the same speech: /
