the ballot box, Every eector had at tho
door separate tickets given him, on

lengthy speech, questioning the democ-
racy of a man who, by remaining 10 tho
army, endorsed the policy OF. the admin

did not believe the Democracy Of Du-
buquc or of the State would support the
wilin. agent of an Executive who, des-
| politically and tyranicaly, crushed out
free speech, free press, and trampled

ally adopted the Ohio Platform, and no
did not see how, with honor to himself
or acceptably to the party, Gen. Tuttle,
the servant Of Mr. Lincoln, could stand
, upon, and make practical, its dcnuncia-
tions Of Mr.. Lincoln
