Conversation with other Republican

United States Senator Wallace gave
me short and reasonable talk to the
following effect:

Hancock.
The sys' EN- 4 boss government which
has prevailed in the Republican party
has tired SO many good Republicans that
they rather rejoice in the opportunity

That Is Just What Garfield Is
At heart he is opposed to these nigh

prominent candidate for Senator before
the Republicans, is truly the successor
of David Wilmot, who was also opposed
to the extension OF slavery and in favor
OF free trade. Grow lives in the same
dristrict with Wilmot, and was his pro.

publicans hard-that their two leaders,
Garfield and Grow, are not strdight.out

At the same time Mr.. Benjamin Chair

strong in his own county, and | found
in the vicinity Oi his birthplace that the
