SECTIONAL WARFARE AGAIN.
The Presidential campaign has become q
sectional warfare, made 50 by the a~dIntn1stra-
ton party, because the old secession leaders
on both sides have thrust Liberal Republi-
cans aside; because they claim TO be the po-

Mr.. HayneB desires to represent the Liberal
movement, the reconciliation of the sections

1885 he made an eloquent canvass of ennes-

WHEN WE WERE UNDER FOOT.
In 1858 and in 1870 it was the opinion and
alignment of a vast majority OF our people that
o man should be selected for a politscal po-
Ition to be confirmed by the people who had
record that would deprive him OF inhu-
nee at Washington, because the public
pinion OF the country was against IL. So

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife:

To do this we must have something better
