Vice President Wilson Declares that tho

A correspondent Of the Indianapolis Journal

had been interviewed by Western tndepehdenp
politician who Claimed to SPEAK also Tor the SOUTH

being the leader or the south and independents in

From the Rome (Ga.j Courier.l

third term, lest there be fool democratic leaders

tasted bad enough, but its effects were disastrous
1t was weak drink for political health and II

proposed to Kill Grant BY the same process Of
