The Romans, when England was over
run by the Saxons (6OO A. d., were
driven into the mountains of Wales
where they fortified themselves and
were an independent nation for SOC
years, and formed the four royal and
| d fteen noble tribes of Wales. From
this Roman stock James G. Blaine, the
Republican candidate, descended, as
shown by the English heralds, the books
being published under the authority Of
Queen Victoria, and where all thu
dukes, barons and carries of the British
Isles have their descents recorded.

that the English realize that if j. G.
