undemocratic. villainous statute, inspired by
! fanaticism and hate.
Conger asked where the fanaticism and
| hate were, but Sparks ignored the question

tion of Democrats not to debate this point
and intimated that they were either afraid of
| causing the nomination of Grant, or were
prohibited by the stentorian tones of the
| Whisperer of Gramercy Park.
