me of talking of dead issues, say that aim
behind the times and ask why do not talk
of the live issues Of the present NV answer
Ia them Is: You would have the mantle OF
oblivion cast over the record II the rcpuh-
lican party and lis dark deeds hid nom
sight. You have been, for years. going

democratic rule have given the lie a. your
assertions and no wonder YOU want no
talk ofdead issues. You have gone through
the North and striven 60 cnf,amc that Sec

into power they would be taxed to pay of
the Confederate debt. Two years of dem
