the movements of the leaders in every section of
the Republic will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election Of lS8O-an event which
must be regarded with the most anxious interest
by every patriotic American, whatever his polit-
ical ideas or allegiance. To these elements of
interest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing fecbleness Of the fraudulent Ad-
