Republican dominates Gen. Bartlett to
contest the field with the hero of Fort
Fisher. 1t says:
The presidential question-so far as
Massachusetts is eoneerned-would be
dwarfed by this contest between one
hero of the war, who carries his trophies
in wooden leg, a shattered arm, and a
broken constitution, and another hero of
of the war, whose only trophies are a
generous bank account; the General who
fought and bled for his country, and the
General who bled friend and foe alike
for the benefit of his own and his broth
er-in-law's pockets.
