general and extending free invitation to
all to "cOme and see him." In conse-
Iucnce there was a gOOdly turnout of the
Stalwarts Of the upper end, and it was
notable that the visitors were all stiff
backed, copper er-buttoned, warranted TO
wear, always to- be relied on Cameroni:,ns,
and not . Democrat or an Independent
could be found within sight of the Sturgis
house, where Gen. Beaver and his party

while Beaver Was on the porch of the
Springs hotel, and when MIR. H;estand

will shatter CamerOn's power in the state,
and with tho fall Of bOssism will come y
new freedom and i purer political and
moral sentiment. As to tho probable
strength of the Independent following in
the district the captain declined to express
an opinion; would know more about i: on

there were none but Beaver Republicans
in his neighborhood, and quite a little
delegation came in tho cars from Man
helm. Gen. Beaver was in the best of
spirits and declared himself more than
with his visit and with tho cor
