The idea of making a candidate of
Mr.. Lincoln comes entirely from the
fact that he is the son of the martyr

Sagacious Democrats in congress will
heartily concur in any fair and honest
measure for revenue reform and tax
reduction, but they will resist, as they

The recent activity in foreign ex-
change is ascribed to the fact that |

The Republicans can make all the
