him. sdHe attempted to prepare the way
for him, in the Senate ofsthe United

Mr.. Julian, is now doing what he can

is franking cart loads of documents,
chiefly of worthless character. Which
can be picked up as worthless trash in

he is beaten at the nomination., there is no
room to doubt. He has never supported q
ticket upon which he was not a candidate
