We see it so frequently stated that
the mission Of the alliance was to defeat
Ingalls,, and that purpose accomplished
that it would rapidly decline and perish
from the face OF the earth, and we de-
sire to interpose word OF correction.
Is II for moment supposed that this
organization has been extended over
thirty-eight states Of the union and an
aggregate membership OF over three
millions attained for the sole purpose
of defeating the irridcscent dreamer?
Journalists who are feeding their read
ers upon this kind of tafy are either
very stupid or they have but very little
