( it pretend to excuse the attempt to BUR-
the Tilden fag2 Will it equivocate, as i
did about the Democratic meeting? Wait

y Union. and by the Gazette, butt is never
t fheless true and can be substantiated be
e fore any justice if necessary. A NOR

as, when the wagons neared the flag, the
IS drove over to the right side of the street
2 which is the side on which the Tide
e streamcr hangs.and reaching up with thei
it torches tried hard to fire it. This &C
o was witnessed by George Walker an
