which was temporarily suppressed for
its blatant treason during the war,
ought to be good Democratic authority.
He opposed, most strenuously, the
nomination of Tilden. 1t matters not

to clear Tilden of the charge Of having
helped frame the Chicago Platform OF
1864 in which the war was pronounced
a failure, that paper says:
Upon re-examination fthe record,

having in charge prisoner named
George Maytield, sentenced to the State
Prison for five years. having pleaded

Several times the stage running between
Hamilton and Phoebe had been stopped
