Nov that Taylor hsa been charged by his on

frauds upon both soldiers and taxpayers, 81
remember that we alssys thought in tho recesst
OF our hearts that he wore hangdog 1ook.
il impossible to think he will be 1o-electe
Governor Of Wisconsin. I hear that very man
who first refused to believe aything bad Of the
candidate have become ashamed OF him by til

think. in resatd to the ordinary Affairs Of life,
and unreasonable only on the one question Of

they can be forced even BY party pressure to
work themselves up into fury Of enthusiasm

It ia not impossible the work Of the Coaven-
