1t is evident the Union is determined ths
MIR. Cable shall buy its support at som
price, by the tenscity that it hangs to it
falsehood that he promised to spend $500
to defeat Hawley.

the district to the other. that Hawlsy had b,
gifts of Office and promises of office bought

republicans that he can (leaving outin thu
