self-contained young gentleman. Both

and will look him in the eye when he
comes in and give him my boot when he
goes out'

some of tho people think of him J.? The
president has the same rights as any
other man to obtain the popular scnti.
ment. We are not living in despotism."

against the electoral fraud The voice of
