In consideration OF the continued can
didacy of men no more alive than hinl-
self, it is suggested that Mr.. Stewards

FoRyEY's new paper is for Grant in

The Sap Francisco people didn't EN-

S.J. RANDALL will be the next Speak

The Republicans, with the indepen-
dent voters, can carry the country; but
