nltcant features of the cipher revelations. The
South has never liked him since his Southern claims

In one Of his speeches he called attention to his
efforts as Governor and remarked that he chad
tried to obliterate the color line" A voice in the
crowd SAID And you've zone it," If he hasn'C
already done it, ho Will before this campaign Is
over provided the bulldOZcTS don't die OF OYerWUra

There is fcrocOus reformer' y in Troy whose
noble mind confused If not o'erthrOwn by the

bee Was when be- thrust himself upon the pubhc with
one of he coaT>e,t and most offensive observations

lirudrch- j, at the front now J., the Democratic
candidate III 1oeO. This approval with that of
