Yes, 'thc boys" in Alabama must have done n
great deal Of 'kicking" to secure that 10000 ma

Gratis Of that State were disntegrating because il

Alabama month before the election and
made speech in Montgomery in which he said:

majority, and the other. which was always carried
In former years by the Democrats, he carried by

where tally was kept, in like manner the Repubii-

jority Of $50. These arc only specimen bricks
When you apply Il 10 the State you can sec how
che Democrats got their $4,000 majority for Mont
gomery. But such grand rally Of the Rcpubl-
