borrowers, and scarcely ever knows where to
find his Directory, when he wants it, and yet
these same borrowers have been known to tell

Whilst no complaint is made by US against

to cover defeat, and they know perfectly well
that the frauds committed in their own behalf,
by Wood and Blumenburg, and other election
manpulators sent from the North for the pur

into contest before the Legislature, and the
