issue, is in marked and happy contrast
with the frantic rawlings of Blaine,
Garfield. Mckinley s. Co., who seek
to keep alive the passions and ha,reds
of the war which ended fourteen years
ago, in order that they may perpetuate
their power and continue rule that
has proved so DISASTROUS to the peace
and prosperity of the country. Judge
Davis did not speak as partisan..~ He
does not profess to belong to the Dem
ocratic party. He was formerly Re.
publican, and, as he says, one of the
most cherished friends of Presiden t
Lincoln, and the Blaines and Gar
fields and their followers cannot i'm
pugn his honesty or patriotism. His
declaration that the duty of the hour
is to heal snimosities, prevent the de-
struction of the business interests of
the people, and endeavor to restore a
united, happy, and prosperous country
will be most heartily endorsed by
every true patriot. -t..s. -Ys
