Seymoure wood do the east, but the
west is opposed To him. therefore,
after sivin the matter matoor consider.
ashen, hev decided to propose for the
posishn, the name nv JethrO"L. Kip
pins, NV Alexander county, Illinoy.
hey the follerin reasons for insIstin
on his nominashen.
l. He Is geographically level. BY
l., lrTt Al will Hfa that
that county In Illinoy is the extreme
suthwes;erly part NV the State. II is u
Northern county with Southern ideas.
Across the river is Kentucky, west is
southeastern Missoury and east is low
err Injeany. They grow tobacco there,
and yearn after slave labor eZ intensely
eZ We do across the river.
2. Nobody knows him. The name OF
Jethro Il. KiPpius heH never illed the
soundin trump of fame. With him on
our tikkit several pints wood be gain
| ed. On all the questions on which
there is n doubt in the minds of the
Democracy, Jethro l.. l[ippins is un-
views and on troublesome questions
! hez nary an opinyun. Tine trouble
! Peudleton hez with the greenbaX wood
! not affect him, neither would any Nv
them other questions which are ruther
embarissin Than otherwise. He he2
| out one pOllilChl pIlnSlpAcI "AlCA III
holds Is enuff for any one man, and
that is Democracy, exit hez bin, ez 1t is
| and ez il may be. He believes firmly
| in the cuss NV Canaan, he holds close &c
| Onesimus and HaSur, and heZ sworn q
| solemn oath That no niger shall evel
marry q daughter NV hizzen. This no
! BILE sentiment which RtluS strikes 81 re-
| sponsive cord in every DemGctaiiC
buzzum would be emblaZoned on the
| Kippins banner.
5. .IeIhro L. Kippenses prOposishen
| on the WAR question ia happy. lie op-
! posed all the steps wlch led TO IL, AND
! whom it finally broke out, he proposed
| the only troo Demokratic way OF stop

no right TO coerce the South-that thnre
was no warrant in the ConStltushen for

onto Major Andersou," sed he, "lei

Justis OF the Peece and hey him bound
| over to keep the peece. Ii he WON'T
keep the peece and the Justis can't en-
force his warrant, why, TINT ends 1t.
We can't go beyond the Constitushen."
| After hostilities had aCiuSlly begun,
\ his posishen was eminently satisiac'
| tory TO both sides. He WAS in favor oil
the war, but opposed TO its prosekoo.

man nor dollar for carryin on war

war-one in the Confedrit servis and
one in the Fedtai-both ez suffers. The
war bore hevy on him. He made great
sacrifices. Three other sons he sup
ance of the unnachral strife.

ments nv popularity. He wuZ born in

motto by the lite NV pine knot. held

drove boss on the canal, wuz salt

5. He's trooly nsshnel in his views
He knows no north, no south, no east
no west, no nothing. That last quail
fication mite prejudis some agin him
but to me it's his chief holt. For will
such man in the PresidensheI chair
wood be safe. We hev an abundance
of SIGH men as Wood, Seymour, Val

Chase knows too much is the objection

Bookannon was wonderfully pliable

There are many pints in his favor. Oul
