The Grand Old Statesman il Always with
the People.

Just for the sake of arriving at the
truth of the matter and in order to

q grievous mistake they are making

These are some of the prominent
measures for which Gen. George has
exerted his influence. All through
these glows careful solicitude for the
welfare of the masses of our people.
He has always pursued corporations
and combination Of capital with Just
and implacable distrust, because ne
recognizes that many Of them are det'
rimental to the best interest of the
people. No statesman has ever left
behind him grander record for con-
sistency, uprightness and strong intel
lectual force, examine his record on
every side; naught is perceived but
grandeur. He sprang from the peo-
bic, and every sentiment of his noble
heart vibrates with love for the people.
If he is not wise and good statesman,
then the name is but cipher.-hos-
