while We claim that this change and reform is
only possible through the election OF Tden
and Hendricks, NJ. Scnurz says that this re-
form Is only possible through the election Of
rutherford Is. II iyes. lLlughter.1 | ask you

that Nr. Hayes win reform the Re. uhlic IN
party, while he holds II to he impossible for
Mr.. 1lden to reform the Democrstlc party.

Mr. Grant has gwen the country the best
Administration that they could desire, and
