sues that are brought befote the
American people today and uhat she

people have fought these men once
they have fought them down, rnud
now they propose to fight them dowa
again, and Vermont has shown US
how to do it. (Cheers } I have been
over the State of Ohio somewhat
extensively during the last five or
six weeks, and wherever l have gone
| have seen great masses Of earnest
men aud women gathered together to
ilisten to the discussion OF the topics

and itindicated to me that it was the
best tribute they could possibly
/ pay to the defenders of the country.
1t seems to me that the spirit which
drew 'them together on ftliese oo6ca +:

animated them to encourage the ems
