reason why division lines should run
north and south any more than east

should remember that he was acting

represented such measures for the past
seven years.
Mr. Richardson, Of Dyer and Lsud-

ago, when the gentleman was before
the people asking their votes on the
ground that he had not been and
nev would be a Radical, and pro-
claiming his Democracy or Conserve
tism.

was a difference between Conserva-
tism aud Democracy. He had never
claimed to be Democrat.

139, 900, and that 1t would Join three
States - North Carolina, Kentucky

tending from Varnell's station, on the

lucky line, would have only Us, ,000

lar ratio. He insisted that the E4st

lation and the rugged nature Of the
