in that capacity to Istify the nomination

RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION.
The speaker next turned his attention to
the reconstruction policy of the South. When
the rebellion wss subdued, pubic du'y.

that the laws should be so administered in that
section as 10 bring 1t speedily back to prosper

The gentleman cpntinu.d It leDgtr in the

appeal for the reform ticket of TIlden and
