The first part Of your paragraph will
do very well, dear Doctor. but as for
education changing its politics, you
need change in both respects in old

peculiar. Several who have heretofore
been Of that persuasion said they would
not vote the ticket this time, and Grant

the total Radical vote is II larger than
they ever polled before. Such are Rad
zeal professions. If the Democrats of

i'm getting out the voters, as wellas those

have been largely increased. They have
themselves to blame for not doing their
