There isbut little in the platforms Of

why are the two elements coaloscins !?
They come together % do wolves, for

What is it possible for the country to

in '76, that distinguished tho aristocra-
cy of wealth and family in the early
part of the history Of the Republic,
that sought to perpctuate slavery by
the overthrow Of the government aud
that manifested itself everywhere du-

fect us, and who now. under the fire of

for their experiment. The building
trade has not been 80 dull IN many

cheap labor, inasmuch as the half
