sections, and showed very conclusivcly
that our greenback plank was sufficient
ly broad, so that all good democrats

only sought for filthy lucre. Governor
Miller made many friends while here.
1t was sud frequently by those who had
never seen him, that he was not the man

in Pike say that Miller will do them for
the next two years, anyhow.
