II cannot be denied that there such strong sense OF

The popular disposition 10 the OF Gene

II IL OF course the privilege OF politicians TO think OF

TAYLOR ns vas carried "o The Presidency by tho spon
taneous enthusiasm OF the people, originating in their
admiration for his military character aud endorsements
His nomination was made In opposition 70 the political
leaders Of the party which elected him, and his
election was rather in spite than by the aid OF
