the Democrats establish the precedent in
The southern states of having prcsiden-
1ial electors for 1880 appointed by the
legislature. 1t will be IN absolutely sure
way of elccting Republican president
in 1880, for the Democrats could only
secure solid south and Indiana, leaving

1t is said of Senator Chandler as a
business man, that when in 1881 nearly
every merchant in Michigan failed, he,

and funeral of senator Chandler, is the
most disgraceful exhibition of party

elect the Republican ticket. Dead men
have their uses. And if the corpse could
speak there is not the slightest doubt of
his approving the ceremony.
