favor by q large portion of The
Democratic press Of the ceuntryj

Republican journals cohccde that,
his nomination would be one of

country. His intellectual ability
and sound political principles are a
pledge OF his special qualifications

that no candidate will be greater
favorite with the people, nor so
able to cope successfully with tho
most promising party arrangements
