of the people as initiated in their State
Conventions and county nominations
of selecting for the public offices mem

| its battles and won its victories and
while we are thus encountering the enc
my in front, and holding with steady
grasp the banner of our party where the
people planted it, We are assailed III
the rear-charged with living in glass
house, and all that sort OF stuff.

produced in the virtuous Memphis Ata-
