dred and twenty miles from Omaha, and about
two hundred miles from Salt Lake City. The
stage coaches which connect it with the Nor
mon capital now take their passengers at Green

Democratic candidates, he said that he regard
ed MIR. Seymour as an able and honest man,
and did not doubt that if elected he would ad
minister the affairs Of the government upon
strictly constitutional principles. The Chief
Justice also spoke very highly of General Grant.

ishment is unscriptural, and in the fervor of
