HE DIDN'T SAY So.-At political
meeting at Aitken school house during
the late campaign, was requested by
T. A. Wright and Judge Culver to make
the opening address, in which took oc-
casion to say that "the attitude of Gen.
Hancock was equivalent to an admis-
sion that the Democratic party was
set of rascals, but if we would put him
in the executive chair he would protect
our treasury against southern claims by
his Veto" A Democrat present says
that asserted that every Democrat was
rascal. I also said this: 'If the
northern wing of the party could con-
troll the party, would have no fear of
Democratic supremacy" Democratic
orators are certainly very considerate
set of men, inasmuch as never knew a
Republican to take umbrage at anything
that was said at Democratic meeting.
