Hunters, there is actually no change in tho
only place where change can Ut all effect tho !
result, the feelings Of the people. Mcn who !
manipulate conventions, and arc familiar with |
the t1icss of nominations, no doubt see
changes, but they all start in their own circle

foundation on which victory must be bujlt, and
it Is to that a1d nut to Charleston that the Chi
