and did vast amount OF good,
especially in checking any slight

others to take up with this third party
movement. He declared that a third party
hurts the party that 10 is most like and that
theonly hope Of redress Of wrongs 20 the
lsboring and farming classes lay in the
principles of the Democratic party He
dwelt most upon an exposition of the tariff
issue. 10 abounded in apt Illustrations,
clinched by forceful and convincing argu-
ment. 10 was great speech and a great
day for Taylor's Democracy.
