free people, conservative, end properly So prefer
10 let well enough alone. They saw no sum.
cient reasons for u change IN administration.
The democrats asserted that there were such
reasons but the voto shows that they
were not able TO convince the people
1t would not, perhaps, be incorrect to say they
the right why, They had a popular platform, but
they forgot all about 1t IN The last weeks Of the
canvass and then they split II up for kindlng
wood. Whenever the democrats can agree upon n
