felt this as "A compliment, and mounted with
the alacrity OF a kid just from Clover and,
opening his cOuntenance, he addressed them
WORDS OF JUNCTION AND LOYALTY.
He felt particularly happy to be able to in
form them that out OF the 1--WE millions OF col
Ored population in the county, Greeley
would not get i've votes. They had more pO-
lttlcal sagacity than TO stick to a fallen apos-

any political movement in which the
southern section take part IS the long
and bitterly-cheriShed hostility of the
