Among the candidates favorably spoken
OF Tor Delegate at Large to the Baltimore
Convention is General Durbin Ward, OF
Warren county. General Ward is not a
Liberal. His Democracy has been ground
into MIN too deeply Enquirer
From the above we are led to infer that
General Ward is sound to the core; but
that the Enqnirer's Democracy is Of n
questionable character, to say the least of
IT. otherwise, it would hardly say that Gen.
Wards Democracy has been "grou,d
into him too deeply" Had the Enguirer's
Democracy been ground into" it, or got
in withom grinding, it would scorn to sup
port Greeley or any other Republican.
