trying to win back to bis support party whose
supremacy is incompatible with peace 10 one

Try. The only party upon which be can rely
for support is tho ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, 10 sup.
porting him that party supports peace, good
will and prosperity throughout tho length and
breadth Of the laud-apd, yet, 10 response TO
tho demands OF his radical enemies he has
announced that he will appoint no moro demo.
Gratis to office, though all he ever did appoint
would not amount to dozen.
