Documents in vast numbers were circuli
ted, and nothing left undons to stimulate ii
public enthusiasm. '''
The Democrats were equally active an
earnest in their efforts. and were believed /
have been provided with Incredible sdms
money. About ten days prior to the election
| the impeachment question was cast into II
contest for examination and decision. Tht
were apparently confident and were %certainl
Boosting Of their anticipated success. The
friends in this city aud all over the COUNT
had prepared to celebrate a victory.
You can Judge Of their modification Z
d their defeat, hopeless, utter defeat. To u
/. highest and to the lowe-t It sounds iihe Il
kuell Of destiny. They see In il the begi
ming Of the end. They did their possib
. best, under circumstances the most favorRb
and failed. With the coming change IN Il
. administration, and the now recent turn th.
will inspire the country, the loyal and Il
patriotic will rally around and hold aloA u
banner so gtoriously rescued In the rece
3 struggle with treason. For = few weeks
come, the eyes oftbe nation pAd Of the wor
viii be turned TO the great events IN this Il
National Capitol, God protect the right.
