Dof after q struggle, not after a wrangle in the

This WAS the preface TO the lustrous harmony

Two great names had been Withdrawn; more
great names yielded TO the gentle but imperial
pressure Of the unmanipulated and splendid i'm
pulse Of the convention. Thurman, whose name
las lent honor 40 the Democratic party, was
u1r9ugh his friends, among the first to relinquish
hE claims in favor Of the Union soldier. Mr..
Justice Field is an eminent man, whose defense

EiiiuiiOD, has earned for him the gratitude Of the
American people for in this time IL is constitu-
honal liberty that is in danger. Mr.. Hendricks

There were other eminent men, named and

his State, the solid vote Of that State was cast
with enthusiasm for General Hancock, of the
