All the Southern Republicans,
whose corruption in public Office
forced them into private life, are
coming out booming for GRANT.
Patterson, South Cardinals carpet

in 1880, their chances to be restored
to power will be good.

Rev. James w. Stephenson, charg-

was tried last week by an Eclesiasti-

readers that this Reverend fraud was
a sober christian, as he did to make
them believe last fall that Gen. LIE
