The late Capt. J. p. Keller, "a Republican, an
upright, honorable man in every relation Of life,
hearing Henry make this declaration, remarked
to friend, in substance, that he had seen dis
honest men before, but had never heard man
boast Of being one till he heard Henry do it.
He claims now to be Republican, Union man,
