he dined in New York "at Sutherlands"
with the "leading Wall street men," and
they stuffed him with the notion that they
counted on "l5 900 or 10000 majority" in
Indiana, they put him down as the
biggest "guy" they had ever got hold of
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
Going about workshops and manufactor-
les in the North, defamipg the government
he prays for in his pulpit, and traducing
the very individuals who in part contribute
to his support, is very unseemly conduct

Why would it not be good thing for the

put of action on the admission of Mr. Fitz-
