If we do not misconceive the purport and mission

popular adhesion they shall receive, to strike a
death blow at political ultraism, whether finding
its representatives in the North or in the South.
By their acceptance or their rejection the candi-

must be prepared to stand or fall. Sooner or later
the will of the people will make itself heard in the
final deliberate adoption in the final deliberate
