while the Republicans have no Confed-

To sum up: The Democrats have elect

fifty-one Union soldiers to no Confed-

squarely upon the National issues

nominated at the head the strong

Colonel l.. A. Harris, an old citizen,
and one we'll calculated to catch the

date, Jacob, is a worthy man, but with
no special record or ability above the
average. Harris was in the Union army
