after election day. With Pennsylvania sitting on
top of it, by the side of Ohio, and with Butler
showed under in Massachusetts,, its further wreste

more good, for it has demoralized the Democratic
party, and given the Republican party something

emerge from his Massachusetts encounter smartlng
with the blows of both parties. Instead of setting
him down for dead. therefore, it VIII be the part OF
prudence for his vulnerable enemies to seek
