MR.. EDITOR THAT the loyal poop e.

"The Federal brigadiers, whom the
Government educated in the doctrine

voice in the restoration Of the Repub-

"You may cry peace! peace but
there will be no peace until these

Thurman has never endorsed the
amen dments. This is the biggest
and brightest Jewel in his Senatorial
! crown. Let the, Federal brigadiers
take back seats in the work of restora-
