democratic party divide the republican vote (black

Chicago nominees. II is surprising how unanimous
is this belief among the substantial classes OF our
citizens, and how ready and eager they are TO open
vigorous campaign under his leadership. Through

other name at the head OF the ticket not even
chance for success. This very belief will insure
triumph in the one case and inevitably work out
defeat in the other Let the mem bers Of the nomi-
mating Convention give these facts due consde.
