warmth. n feeling. and. we regret to say, a |
personal bitterness scarcely ever before wit |
messed in orr marty contests. What that

thew have spoken. with one solitary excep-
lion for the Reppb,Ican marty, for the con-
tlpuance In power for four years more Of the
great leader who saved II In the war; for
tho modest. patient. faithful President, who,
during tho last three years, has conducted
the Government for the best interests OF the
Government, who has had no policy OF his
