Garfield 10 looked upon o. a big man

The property.holdsrs and substantial
people OF the East are perfectly satisfied
with Garfield. The country has never
been moro prosperous in the history OF
the nation, and the people want no
change Gold Is piled in the Treasury
OF the nation and 10 coming to the ooun-
try by ship.loads. and people do not see
that the condition OF our affairs either ct
home or abroad would be Battered BY
placing Hancock in the Presidential
chair. People feel that the affairs Of
the country could not we'll be better. but
might easily be made much worse. The
mssk cartoon by Mast, In Hdrper's
Weekly. showing the kind Of riff.rati
that expect to come In Of the heels oil

OF the people everywhere in the Atlantic
States, and It covsrs the whole ground
