Hayes and Wheeler. 1t is true that |
am cordial and earnest advocate of the
election of that ticket, Notwithstanding
you say that all the Southern people and
especially the Confederate soldiers are
united in the support of the Democratic
l hope, however, that in this you are
mistaken, and that many men in the
South of sound conservative and nation

side; however this may be, it will not
divert ME from my purpose. l thought
you kHew that ceased to be Conted-
crate soldier about eleven years ago,
and became citizen Of the United
States. As a soldier | did conscien-
tiously what l thought was my duty;
as citizen i shall do the same thing as
far as L know how. TIE ground on
which you urge me to support Tilden
