have his opponents tried to defeat him;
time and again have they bolted his nomi-
nation. Every year Mr. j. intreDched
himself more firmly in the hearts of the
people, aud every year made it that much
more difficult To defeat him. At last, With
all their efforts. both reputable aud disre-
putable, they found it impossible to defeat
the wishes OF the masses Of the Republican
